    摘要: Provided herein are compositions and systems comprising yeast-based biosensors (YBBs) and methods of use thereof. In particular, YBBs are provided for the detection and/or quantification of an analyte (e.g., peptide analyte) in a sample (e.g., a biological sample, environmental sample, etc.). In some embodiments, provided herein are diagnostic compositions, devices, and methods comprising yeast-based biosensors (YBBs) engineered to detect analytes (e.g., peptides (e.g., biomarker peptides, etc.), etc.). In some embodiments, YBBs comprise (a) recognition element (e.g., receptor (e.g., modified yeast receptor, etc.), etc.) on the exterior of the biosensor (e.g., for binding and or recognition of the analyte (e.g., peptide)), and (b) a reporter that signals binding or recognition of the analyte. In some embodiments, a recognition element is a cell surface receptor.

    摘要: The disclosure encompasses methods for the screening of small molecules or nucleic acids that may reverse the inhibition of growth of the unicellular yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe by rotenone. The use of a yeast as the screening target allows for the high-throughput screening of small molecule and nucleic acid libraries for candidates that may then be screened in animal models as therapeutic agents for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The plant-derived isoflavonoid, rotenone, while only moderately inhibitory to S. pombe cell growth on complex rich medium, is highly inhibitory to growth on synthetic minimal medium. S. pombe cells carrying a deletion in the gene pmk1 are hypersensitive to rotenone. S. pombe, therefore, provides a model for elucidating complex 1-independent targets of rotenone, and can serve as a screening tool for identifying compounds or oligonucleotides potentially able to reverse the effects of rotenone or Parkinson's disease in animal or human subjects.

    摘要: A method for the differentiation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from irritable bowel disease (IBS) followed by distinguishing ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease from other gastrointestinal illnesses. This highly differential method first uses the presence of elevated lactoferrin as a marker of intestinal inflammation to differentiate IBD from IBS. Patients suspected of IBD are then analyzed for fecal anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) as an indicator of Crohn's disease and fecal anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) as an indicator of ulcerative colitis. IBD patients are further monitored for intestinal inflammation using fecal lactoferrin to evaluate the effectiveness of medical therapy and to predict relapse. The apparatus comprises either a qualitative enzyme-linked immunoassay or other immunoassay that utilizes antibodies specific to human immunoglobins for the measurement of total endogenous lactoferrin, ASCA and ANCA in human feces. The method and apparatus can be used by healthcare providers to identify IBD and distinguish ulcerative colitis from Crohn's disease.

    摘要: A method for prognosing the status of a tumor patient is provided, wherein the level of antibodies against Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida sp., especially Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus or Klebsiella pneumoniae is determined in said the patient, and prognosing the status of the patient upon the level of these antibodies determined in the patient by determining a better status for a patient with a lower level of these antibodies compared to the average level or by determining a worse status for a patient with a higher level of these antibodies compared to the average level.

    摘要: A method is described for screening retinoid X receptor agonists or antagonists using a retinoid X receptor expressed by a yeast expression system to screen a compound having a retinoid X receptor agonist or antagonist activity. Another screen is described for detecting a compound having retinoid X receptor agonist or antagonist activity by: (1) providing a yeast strain which expresses the retinoic acid receptor and activates a reporter plasmid containing apolipoprotein AI gene site A or a mutated variant thereof; (2) incubating the compound in suitable media and a colorless chromogenic substrate; and (3) examining the media for development of color. Mutated variants of apolipoprotein AI gene site A which respond selectively to the retinoid X receptor or respond to receptors other than RXR.alpha. are also described.
