Metabolic engineering approach to boost γ-decalactone production in S. cerevisiae identifies a critical role for the peroxisomal Fatty Acyl-CoA Synthetase Faa2

David Boy Chia, Jeng Yeong Chow, Mohammad Alfatah, Shawn S. Hoon, Prakash Arumugam, Hong Hwa Lim, Uttam Surana

This study enhances γ-decalactone production in S. cerevisiae by identifying Faa2 as critical for oleic acid-to-γ-decalactone conversion.

Budding yeast chromatin is dispersed in a crowded nucleoplasm in vivo

Chen Chen, Jian Shi, Hong Hwa Lim, Sachiko Tamura, Kazuhiro Maeshima, Uttam Surana, Lu Gan

This study uses electron cryotomography to show that budding yeast chromatin lacks 30-nm fibers and is in an open configuration, suggesting transcription regulation through local nucleosome interactions.
