Flow Cytometry-based Purification of <em>S. cerevisiae</em> Zygotes

Abstract: Zygotes are essential intermediates between haploid and diploid states in the life cycle of many organisms, including yeast (Figure 1) 1 . S. cerevisiae zygotes result from the fusion of haploid cells of distinct mating type (MATa, MATalpha) and give rise to corresponding stable diploids that successively generate as many as 20 diploid progeny as a result of their strikingly asymmetric mitotic divisions 2 . Zygote formation is orchestrated by a complex sequence of events: In this process, soluble mating factor… Show more

“…Our method combines innocuous ConA–fluorophore conjugate staining of haploid cells and BiFC to define fused and unfused mating pair subpopulations in a complex mating mixture. In addition, FCM‐based purification protocols of S. cerevisiae zygotes could be adapted to obtain mating pair subpopulations by cell sorting for further analysis.…”

“…They were then overlaid with a coverslip that was sealed with Vaseline [21] and were examined in a Deltavision RT epifluorescence microscope with an automated stage (Applied Precision, Inc). The microscope was equipped with a 100x oil immersion objective (Olympus UPlanApo 100x/1.40; 0.17/FN26.5) and images were recorded without binning.…”

“…Add agarose to medium (1.5% final), bring to a boil, vortex, and apply samples to the surface of microscope slides that are immediately overlaid with a second slide ( Zapanta Rinonos et al., 2012 ). These slides can be kept 1–2 days in a refrigerator.…”
