The RNA was extracted from the yeast cells of the exponential growth period by the phenol-chloroform extraction method (50 (link)). The extracted RNA was treated with RNase-free deoxyribonuclease I (Takara, 2270A) to remove DNA and quantified by Nanodrop 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The RNA quality was determined by agarose gel electrophoresis. RNA (0.5 μg) was taken for complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis in the NovoScriptPlus All-in-one First Strand cDNA Synthesis SuperMix (Novoprotein). The qPCR was carried out using iTaq Universal SYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad, 1725121). Primers used for RT-qPCR were described in table S2. 2−ΔΔCt was used to calculate the quantity of relative transcription level.
