Cyclin expression in LoaOOH-treated cells. A, CLN1, CLN2, PCL1, and PCL2 transcript levels in asynchronous cultures in the presence of LoaOOH by RT-PCR. Cells of the wild-type and C404A mutant strains were grown to A600 = 0.4 and treated with 30 μm LoaOOH for 45 min, and cell extracts were prepared for RNA extraction. Transcript levels were quantified by RT-PCR, and their abundance was expressed relative to SIR3. The average values of four independent experiments are shown, and the error bars represent ± S.D. *, p value <0.05, determined using the paired, two-tailed Student's t test. B, quantification of CLN1, CLN2, PCL1, and PCL2 expression after LoaOOH treatment in α-factor synchronized cultures. Two independent experiments were performed with technical replicates, and a representative experiment is shown.
