RNA-seq analysis of the overexpression of the Fil1 transcription factor in S. pombe

The Fil1 transcription factor regulates the response to amino acid starvation. Here we analyse the effects of overexpressing the fil1 coding sequence and of its deregulated expression. The following strains were used: 1] Strains expressing the fil1 gene under the control of the thiamine-repressible nmt1 promoter (nmt-fil1) 2] Strains in which 6 uORFs (upstream Open Reading Frames) in the fil1 5'-UTR have been inactivated, leading to deregulated translation of the fil1 mRNA (6uORF_mutant)
