RNA was extracted from cells grown in YPD using a RiboPure RNA Purification Kit for Yeast (Ambion, Invitrogen). cDNA was synthesized from DNase I-treated RNA using Superscript III Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen) and qPCR was performed using KAPA SYBR Fast Universal qPCR Kit (KAPA Biosystems) with primers listed Table 3. Quantification was performed using the 2–ΔΔCT method and expression was normalized to TAF10 (Livak and Schmittgen, 2001 (link); Teste et al., 2009 (link)).
