    Notes: Abstract In an attempt to clone genes involved in resistance to formaldehyde we have screened a genomic library based on the episomal plasmid YEp24 for the ability to increase resistance to formaldehyde in a wild-type strain. In addition toSFA, the gene encoding the formaldehyde dehydrogenase Adh5, an enzyme most potent in formaldehyde de-toxification, we isolated a second plasmid that conferred a less pronounced but significant hyper-resistance to formaldehyde. Its passenger DNA contained the geneADH1, encoding alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (EC 1.1.1.1), which could be shown to be responsible for the observed hyper-resistance phenotype. Construction of anadh1-0 mutant revealed that yeast lacking a functionalADH1 gene is sensitive to formaldehyde. While glutathione is essential for Adh5-mediated formaldehyde de-toxification, Adh1 reduced formaldehyde best in the absence of this thiol compound. Evidence is presented that formaldehyde is a substrate for Adh1 in vivo and in vitro and that its cellular de-toxification employs a reductive step that may yield methanol.

    A ten-minute protocol for transforming Saccharomyces cerevisiae by electroporation (1992)
    Springer
    Current genetics 22 (1992), S. 335-336

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary We present a simplified and rapid method for the transformation of yeast cells by electroporation. Stationary cells, scraped off the agar of Petri dish cultures stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks, are suspended in sorbitol buffer, spun down by gentle centrifugation, transferred into the electroporation cuvette, and immediately subjected to transformation via electroporation. Transformation efficiency of this 10-min method, which does not require the preparation of cell cultures, is about 10% of the hitherto best performing transformation procedure using cells of defined growth phase.

    Overexpression of the SNQ3/YAP1 gene confers hyper-resistance to nitrosoguanidine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae via a glutathione-independent mechanism (1994)

    Notes: Abstract The MNNG hyper-resistance of yeast transformants containing multiple copies of the SNQ3/YAP1 yeast gene is not caused by lowered MNNG activation due to depleted pools of glutathione. On the contrary, the SNQ3/YAP1-encoded protein stimulates production of GSH, apparently by promoter activation due to the AP-1 recognition element. Expression of at least one further gene, encoding a protein with a strong detoxifying activity, must also be stimulated to explain the MNNG hyper-resistance phenotype.

    Hyper-resistance to nitrogen mustard in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is caused by defective choline transport (1991)
    Springer

    ISSN: 1432-0983
    Keywords: Yeast ; Molecular cloning ; Nitrogen mustard hyper-resistance ; Choline transport
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary The recessive hnm1 mutant allele is responsible for hyper-resistance to nitrogen mustard in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Transformation with a single-copy HNM1 wild-type allele of such hyper-resistant mutants will restore wild-type sensitivity to nitrogen mustard. By contrast the presence of multi-copy vectors containing HNM1, in either a hyper-resistant hnm1 mutant or an HNM1 wild-type, will lead to a novel, mustard-sensitive phenotype unrelated to defects in DNA repair genes. Gene disruption of HNM1 revealed that this gene is nonessential for cells prototrophic for choline (CHO1) but lethal for cells with a cho1 genotype. Sensitivity to nitrogen mustard of wild-type HNM1, but not of hnm1 mutants, depends on the choline content of the growth medium, with cells grown in choline-free medium exhibiting the highest sensitivity. Sequencing of a 300 bp DNA fragment of HNM1 revealed the identity of this gene with the CTR locus, which is responsible for choline transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

    Notes: Summary A multi-copy plasmid containing the SNQ3 gene confers hyper-resistance to 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4NQO), Trenimon, MNNG, cycloheximide, and to sulfometuron methyl in yeast transformants. Restriction analysis, subcloning, and DNA sequencing revealed an open reading frame of 1950 bp on the SNQ3-containing insert DNA. Gene disruption and transplacement into chromosomal DNA yielded 4NQO-sensitive null mutants which were also more sensitive than the wild-type to Trenimon, cycloheximide, sulfometuron methyl, and MNNG. Hydropathic analysis showed that the SNQ3-encoded protein is most likely not membrane-bound, while the codon bias index points to low expression of the gene.

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Four haploid yeast strains differing in proficiency for DNA repair were treated with cis- or transDDP. The wild type was least sensitive while the excision-deficient mutants rad1, rad2 and snm1exhibited higher sensitivities to either platinum compound. In all four strains tested cisDDP showed a two- to five-fold higher cytotoxicity than equimolar concentrations of transDDP. DNA interstrand cross-linking was caused by both agents in all strains. However, transDDP introduced more DNA cross-links at exposure times up to 6 h while cisDDP was the more active cross-linking agent at longer times. There was no clear-cut correlation of the number of DNA interstrand cross-links with survival. Formaldehyde-treated cells showed DNA with lower buoyant density due to proteinase K sensitive DNA-protein cross-linking; this effect was not observed after treatment with either platinum compound. Post-treatment incubation of wild-type cells exposed to cisDDP led to degradation of DNA by single and double-strand breaks, parallel with further increase of DNA interstrand cross-linking. DNA from transDDP-treated cells did not show extensive degradation although interstrand cross-links were lost during liquid holding.

    The RAD50 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is not essential for vegetative growth (1986)
    Springer

    Keywords: DNA repair ; Gene disruption

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary The gene RAD50 was located by the ability of subclones to restore the Rad+ phenotype following transformation of a rad50-1 mutant. Disruption of the gene was achieved by directed integration of a plasmid carrying a fragment internal to RAD50. Haploids with the disrupted gene are viable and do not differ in growth rate or plating efficiency from isogenic rad50-1 or Rad+ strains.

    Characterization of the role played by the RAD59 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in ectopic recombination (1999)

    Notes: Abstract The RAD52 group of genes in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae controls the repair of DNA damage by a recombinational mechanism. Despite the growing evidence for physical and biochemical interactions between the proteins of this repair group, mutations in individual genes show very different effects on various types of recombination. The RAD59 gene encodes a protein with similarity to Rad52p which plays a role in the repair of damage caused by ionizing radiation. In the present study we have examined the role played by the Rad59 protein in mitotic ectopic recombination and analyzed the genetic interactions with other members of the repair group. We found that Rad59p plays a role in ectopic gene conversion that depends on the presence of Rad52p but is independent of the function of the RecA homologue Rad51p and of the Rad57 protein. The RAD59 gene product also participates in the RAD1-dependent pathway of recombination between direct repeats. We propose that Rad59p may act in a salvage mechanism that operates when the Rad51 filament is not functional.

    Notes: Summary Of two mutant genes (snm1-2 ts and snm2-1 ts) conferring thermoconditional mutagen sensitivity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae one (snm2-1 ts) is shown to be centromere-linked. At the restrictive temperature this allele reduces UV-induced back mutation frequency of the ochre allele hiss-2 but has no influence on forward mutation at the CAN1 locus. Complementation tests and recombination analysis revealed snm2 ts to be allelic with rad5 (rev2).
