We performed detailed phenotypic analysis of the isw2 delta strains of the W303 genetic background and compared its results with those obtained previously in BY-derived genetic background. Shmoolike morphology was observed in the isw2 delta strain of alpha-mating type of the BY strains, but not in its W303-derived counterpart. On the other hand, derepression of a-specific genes in the isw2 delta (MAT alpha) strain was observed in both genetic backgrounds, although to a different extent. Unlike in BY-derived strain hyperactivation of the Ras2/cAMP pathway reduced invasiveness of the isw2 delta strain (MAT alpha) of the W303 background. Sensitivity to Calcofluor White indicating a cell wall-integrity defect was significantly increased in the isw2 delta strains of the W303 background in contrast to BY-derived strains. Our data indicate that the effects of the isw2 deletion strongly depend on the background in which the deletion, is made.
