1.
New approach for the detection of non-ribosomal peptide synthetase genes in Bacillus strains by polymerase chain reaction
Tapi A, Chollet-Imbert M, Scherens B, Jacques P
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol . 2009 Sep; 85(5):1521-31. PMID: 19730852
Bacillus strains produce non-ribosomal lipopeptides that can be grouped into three families: surfactins or lichenysins, iturins and fengycins or plispastatins. These biosurfactants show a broad spectrum of biological activities. To...
2.
Identification of direct and indirect targets of the Gln3 and Gat1 activators by transcriptional profiling in response to nitrogen availability in the short and long term
Scherens B, Feller A, Vierendeels F, Messenguy F, Dubois E
FEMS Yeast Res . 2006 Aug; 6(5):777-91. PMID: 16879428
Nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR) consists in the specific inhibition of transcriptional activation of genes encoding the permeases and catabolic enzymes needed to degrade poor nitrogen sources. Under nitrogen limitation or...
3.
The uses of genome-wide yeast mutant collections
Scherens B, Goffeau A
Genome Biol . 2004 Jul; 5(7):229. PMID: 15239820
We assess five years of usage of the major genome-wide collections of mutants from Saccharomyces cerevisiae: single deletion mutants, double mutants conferring 'synthetic' lethality and the 'TRIPLES' collection of mutants...

Arg82p is a bifunctional protein whose inositol polyphosphate kinase activity is essential for nitrogen and PHO gene expression but not for Mcm1p chaperoning in yeast
El Alami M, Messenguy F, Scherens B, Dubois E
Mol Microbiol . 2003 Jun; 49(2):457-68. PMID: 12828642
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the synthesis of inositol pyrophosphates is essential for vacuole biogenesis and the cell's response to certain environmental stresses. The kinase activity of Arg82p and Kcs1p is required...
5.
Functional profiling of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome
Giaever G, Chu A, Ni L, Connelly C, Riles L, Veronneau S, et al.
Nature . 2002 Jul; 418(6896):387-91. PMID: 12140549
Determining the effect of gene deletion is a fundamental approach to understanding gene function. Conventional genetic screens exhibit biases, and genes contributing to a phenotype are often missed. We systematically...

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the inositol polyphosphate kinase activity of Kcs1p is required for resistance to salt stress, cell wall integrity, and vacuolar morphogenesis
Dubois E, Scherens B, Vierendeels F, Ho M, Messenguy F, Shears S
J Biol Chem . 2002 Apr; 277(26):23755-63. PMID: 11956213
A problem for inositol signaling is to understand the significance of the kinases that convert inositol hexakisphosphate to diphosphoinositol polyphosphates. This kinase activity is catalyzed by Kcs1p in the yeast...
