C. Rieder If you want to understand cancer, you need answers to the many questions about the role genome instability plays. ---Bert Vogelstein, 2002
Genetic Instability in Human Cancers MIN: Microsatellite instability (increased mutation rate) CIN: Chromosome instability (increased aneuploidy rate) Yeast as an experimental model CIN biology CIN candidate genes, CIN cancer genes Therapeutics

S. cerevisiae Genome Deletion Project • “Complete” set of yeast nonessential deletion mutants • ~4,700 haploid strains • ~4,700 homozygous diploid strains • nonessential genes deleted with kanMX = fifty 96 well plate • ~6,000 heterozygous diploid strains pin 96 strains onto G418 plates condense 4 plates onto 1 96 well plate frozen glycerol stock
Yeast as a tool to discover drugs and their mechanism of action Identifying “orphan drug” targets via drug induced haploinsufficiency in yeast heterozygotes

Motuporamine C inhibits angiogenesis in vivoPhotographs of developing CAMs incubated for 2 days with VEGF (A) or VEGF and motuporamine C at 2.5 µM (B), 5 µM (C) or 10 µM (D)
How to identify the mechanism of action of motuporamines? • Motuporamines are anti-invasive and anti-angiogenic compounds with apparent in vivo activity • they are attractive drug candidates • Invasion is a complex process, incompletely understood • Structure of motuporamines gives no clue to function
Yeast “chemical genomics” approaches to identify drug targets • Drug-induced haploinsufficiency screen: • Collection of heterozygous diploid yeast strains in which one allele of every gene is individually deleted • Lowering the dosage of a gene from two copies to one • usually results in a strain that is sensitized to drugs • that act on the product of this gene • Proof of principle study: • Giaever et al.. Nat Genet21, 278-83. (1999)

Steps of drug-induced haploinsufficiency screen • 1- selection of a drug-induced phenotype • 2- systematic high-throughput drug-induced phenotypic screen of yeast heterozygous deletion diploid set • 3- quantitative ranking of drug sensitivity - PRIORITIZATION • 4- confirmation of drug mode of action in yeast • 5- assessment of cognate mode of action in the mammalian system
