    Notes: Summary We have isolated suppressors of a PHO4 c (a positive regulator) mutant which normally confers weak constitutivity for acid phosphatase production on the Saccharomyces cell. One dominant suppressor (PHO80-2) was found to be an allele of PHO80 (a negative regulator) that changes G to A, resulting in substitution of isoleucine for methionine 42 of the Pho80 protein. Substitution of valine (PHO80-3) or leucine (PHO80-4) for the same methionine by site-directed mutagenesis also suppressed PHO c. Suppression by PHO80-2) did show some allele specificity. From these results we were able to delimit the region of PHo80 which may interact with the Pho4 protein.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract A disruption cassette has been constructed containing the LEU2 gene flanked by directly repeated sitespecific recombination sites of the yeast plasmid, pSB3, which resembles the 2 μm DNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A disruption constructed by inserting this DNA fragment acquires a Leu+ phenotype, which can be easily removed by expressing the FLP-PSB3 gene encoding the site-specific recombinase of pSB3. A test was made using a Schizosaccharomyces pombe host. The ura4 + gene of S. pombe was replaced with the ura4::LEU2 gene constructed by inserting the disruption cassette into the ura4 + gene. Then, the FLP-pSB3 gene driven by the nmt1 + promoter was introduced into this disruptant. Upon de-repression of the nmt1 promoter by removing thiamine from the medium, the rate of appearance of Leu- was increased. As expected the ura4 + locus underwent a structural change. Thus, the FLP-pSB3 protein and its target site can function adequately in S. pombe.

    Isolation, characterization and chromosomal mapping of an actin gene from the primitive red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae (1995)

    Keywords: Actin gene ; Cyanidioschyzon merolae ; Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) ; Phylogenetic tree

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Based on the results of cytological studies, it has been assumed that Cyanidioschyzon merolae does not contain actin genes. However, Southern hybridization of C. merolae cell-nuclear DNA with a yeast actin-gene probe has suggested the presence of an actin gene in the C. merolae genome. In the present study, an actin gene was isolated from a C. merolae genomic library using a yeast actin-gene probe. The C. merolae actin gene has no intron. The predicted actin is composed of 377 amino acids and has an estimated molecular mass of 42003 Da. Southern hybridization indicated that the C. merolae genome contains only one actin gene. This gene is transcribed at a size of 2.4 kb. When Southern hybridization was performed with C. merolae chromosomes separated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, a band appeared on unseparated chromosomes XI and XII. A phylogenetic tree based on known eucaryote actin-gene sequences revealed that C. merolae diverged after the division of Protozoa, but before the division of Fungi, Animalia and Chlorophyta.

    Disturbance of the machinery for the gene expression by acidic pH in the repressible acid phosphatase system of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1978)

    Notes: Summary When the pH of growth medium containing a limited amount of inorganic phosphate is kept below 3.0, cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae produce repressible alkaline phosphatase but no repressible acid phosphatase. The same cells produce acid phosphatase immediately on shifting the medium pH to 4.0 or above. Like intact cells, spheroplasts prepared from cells grown at pH 3.0 or 4.5 in medium with a limited amount of inorganic phosphate in suspension begin production of acid phosphatase immediately after pH shift from below 3.0 to 4.0, whereas spheroplasts from cells grown in inorganic phosphate-rich medium showed a prolonged lag period (3 h). The enzyme formation on the pH shift was sensitive to cycloheximide. No significant differences could be detected in cellular growth or in incorporation of 3H-L-lysine or 14C-adenine between cells cultivated at pH 3.0 and 4.5. These results along with the fact that the expression of structural genes of repressible acid and alkaline phosphatases is controlled by a common genetic regulatory system, at least in part, indicate that the genetic regulatory system operates to express the structural genes even at low pH, though the expression of repressible acid phosphatase is interrupted. Coupled experiments of temperature and pH shifts with the temperature-sensitive mutants of the regulatory genes suggest that the acidic pH affects the function of the cytoplasmic products of those genes in the expression of the structural gene. Based on these observations, a revised model involving the simultaneous functioning of the regulatory factors was suggested for the genetic regulation of repressible acid phosphatase senthesis.

    An insertion mutation associated with constitutive expression of repressible acid phosphatase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1983)

    Notes: Summary The PHO83 mutation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which had been detected on the basis of constitutive production of repressible acid phosphatase and mapped at the end of the PHO5 locus, was analysed by Southern hybridization with cloned DNA fragments of the PHO5 gene as probe. It was shown that this mutant has a DNA insertion of about 6 kilobase pairs, probably in the 5′-noncoding region of the PHO5 gene. Production of repressible acid phosphatase by the PHO83 mutant is partially independent of the function of the PHO2 and PHO4 genes, the positive regulatory genes whose functions are indispensable for PHO5 expression. PHO83 mutants are constitutive in a or α cells, either haploid or diploid, but not in non-mating cells, MATa/MATα or a certain sterile mutation. These observations strongly suggest that the PHO83 mutation is caused by insertion of a Ty element in the 5′-noncoding region of the PHO5 gene.

    Notes: Summary The product of the PHO85 gene, which encodes one of the negative regulatory factors of the PHO system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, shows significant amino acid sequence homology with the CDC28 protein kinase. However, overexpressing PHO85 did not suppress the temperature sensitive phenotype of the cdc28-1 mutation. The nucleotide sequence of the PHO85 gene strongly suggests the presence of an intron near the sequence encoding the N-terminal region.

    Notes: Summary The phoE locus, one of the loci in which mutations lack the activity for repressible acid phosphatase, was found to be the structural gene for the enzyme by examining the enzymic characteristics of repressible acid phosphatase activity using cell extracts prepared from the leaky phoE mutants, the PHOE revertants and the PHOE recombinants between the different phoE mutants. Other evidence which strongly suggests that the phoC locus is coding for the constitutive acid phosphatase was obtained by a similar investigation. Although the phoC and phoE loci are tightly linked, they were separable by meiotic recombination.

    Notes: Summary Candida pelliculosa var. acetaetherius is a strain of yeast which can utilize cellobiose as the carbon source. From a gene library prepared from this yeast, the β-glucosidase gene has been cloned in a S. cerevisiae host using a chromogenic substrate, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-glucoside as an indicator. It was proved by Southern analysis that the DNA fragment carrying the β-glucosidase gene originated from C. pelliculosa. β-Glucosidase produced by S. cerevisiae transformants was secreted into the periplasmic space. In Candida, β-glucosidase was not induced by cellobiose but was derepressed by lowering the concentration of glucose. The regulation of β-glucosidase synthesis in S. cerevisiae carrying the cloned β-glucosidase was not clear compared with that in Candida, however, the enzyme activity in low glucose medium (0.05%) was reproducibly higher than in high glucose medium (2%). We have found the sequence that controls the expression of the β-glucosidase gene negatively in S. cerevisiae.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Four mutants with amino acid substitution(s) at or near the putative phosphorylation site (Arg142 Arg143 Thr144 Ser145) of the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase were obtained by site-directed mutagenesis. Three mutants, BCY1 Ala 145 (Ser145 to Ala), BCY1 His 143 (Arg143 to His) and BCY1 Asn 144, Ala 145 (Thr144 to Asn and Ser145 to Ala) complemented a bcy1 mutant, whereas BCY1 Gly 143 (Arg143 to Gly) did not. In addition, mutant, BCY1 Asn 144, Ala 145 exhibited a dominant coldsensitive phenotype, which can be most easily explained by the functional alteration of the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase by the mutations. Analyses of these mutant genes revealed that phosphorylation of the regulatory subunit is not a prerequisite for the regulation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity in responding to the cAMP level.
