Description:
For the identification of yeast genes specifying biochemical activities, a genomic strategy that is rapid, sensitive, and widely applicable was developed with an array of 6144 individual yeast strains, each containing a different yeast open reading frame (ORF) fused to glutathione S-transferase (GST). For the identification of ORF-associated activities, strains were grown in defined pools, and GST-ORFs were purified. Then, pools were assayed for activities, and active pools were deconvoluted to identify the source strains. Three previously unknown ORF-associated activities were identified with this strategy: a cyclic phosphodiesterase that acts on adenosine diphosphate-ribose 1"-2" cyclic phosphate (Appr〉p), an Appr-1"-p-processing activity, and a cytochrome c methyltransferase.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Martzen, M R -- McCraith, S M -- Spinelli, S L -- Torres, F M -- Fields, S -- Grayhack, E J -- Phizicky, E M -- GM52347/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR11823/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Nov 5;286(5442):1153-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of Rochester School of Medicine, Rochester, NY 14642, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10550052" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
