    Notes: We report the sequence of a 9000 bp fragment from the right arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome VII. Analysis of the sequence revealed four complete previously unknown open reading frames, which were named G7587, G7589, G7591 and G7594 following standard rules for provisional nomenclature. Outstanding features of some of these proteins were the homology of the putative protein coded by G7589 with proteins involved in transcription regulation and the transmembrane domains predicted in the putative protein coded by G7591. The sequence reported has been deposited in the EMBL data library under Accession Number X82775.

    Notes: The cif1 mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisia (Navon et al., Biochemistry 18, 4487-4499, 1979) causes inability to grow on glucose and absence of catabolite inactivation. We have cloned the CIF1 gene by complementation of funcion and licated it in a 2·75 kb SphI-BstEII fragment situated at ca. 18 kb centomere distal of LYS2 and ca. 80 kb centromere proximal of TYRI on chromosome II. Southern analysis demostrated that CIF1 is present in a single copy in the yeast genome. Northern analysis revealed that the corresponding mRNA of 1·8 kb is more abundant in cells grown on galactose than in those grown on glucose. A protein of ca. 54 kDa was predicted from the open reading frame in the sequenced fragment. In strains carrying the cif1 mutation the intracellular concentration of ATP decreased immediately after addition of glucose while the intracellular concentration of cAMP did not increse. cAMP concentration increases in response to galactose or 2,4-dinitrophenol. Disruption of BCY1 or overexpression of CDC25 in a cif1/, background did not restore growth on glucose, suggesting that the absence of cAMP signal is not primary cause of lack of growth on glucose. Complementation tests showed that cif1 is not allelic to fdp1 although the two genes seem to be functionally related.

    Notes: We have previously shown that some changes occur in the chromatin structure of the 3′ flank of the yeast SUC2 gene in going from a repressed to an active state. In an attempt to find out the causes of these changes, we have carried out experiments in which mutant copies of SUC2 locus lacking either 5′ or 3′ flanks have been analysed for their transcriptional activity and chromatin structure. These experiments allowed us to discard any relationship between SUC2 transcription and chromatin changes within its 3′ flank. Sequencing of this flank and mRNA analysis, however, resulted in the location of a putative peroxisomal 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase gene (POT1), which is repressible by glucose. The disruption of the gene produced a yeast strain unable to use oleic acid as a carbon source. This is the first time that chromatin structure analysis has permitted the identification of new gene.

    Notes: The KlHEM1 gene from Kluyveromyces lactis encodes a functional 5-aminolevulinate synthase (δALA synthase), as confirmed by complementation of a hem1 mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, homology search, and detection of a 2·3 kb transcript. The gene is highly homologous to the ScHEM1 gene, and the sequence of the promoter region contains a complex combination of putative regulatory signals. Some of them are related to phospholipid biosynthesis, glycolytic metabolism, and regulation by carbon source. Transcription of KlHEM1 increased significantly in response to limited oxygen, and only slightly with the change from repressed (glucose) to derepressed conditions (glycerol). The δALA synthase from K. lactis contains, in the amino-terminal region, two heme-responsive elements that are not present in the protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The complete nucleotide sequence has been entered in the EMBL data library under Accession Number X92944. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A simple and reliable method for the efficient inactivation of metabolism and for quantitative metabolite extraction from yeast cells is presented. It is based on the use of a boiling solution made of 75% ethanol (volume/final volume) buffered with 70 mm-Hepes (final concentration), pH 7·5, to guarantee the stability throughout the whole procedure of a large variety of metabolites, including all glycolytic intermediates, nucleotides, pyridine nucleotides and organic acids compounds. The extraction is fast, requiring only 3 min incubation of yeast cells in the ethanol-buffered mixture maintained at 80°C. It can be carried out either directly by spraying the cells into the boiling mixture, or after quenching the whole culture in 60% methanol kept at -40°C. Extracts are subsequently concentrated by evaporation under partial vacuum and the residue is resuspended in a small volume of water. This concentration step and the use of a highly sensitive analytical method allow us to quantify metabolites in less than 10 mg dry weight cells. This method, which can be applied to other fungi, could be very helpful for the determination of true metabolites in mutants generated through the EUROFAN programme and for metabolic flux analysis. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The DAO1 gene of Trigonopsis variabilis encoding a D-amino acid oxidase (EC 1.4.3.3) was isolated from genomic clones selected for their specific hybridization to synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes based on regions of the enzyme that have been conserved through evolution. The nucleotide sequence of the gene predicts a protein with similarities to human, pig, rabbit, mouse and Fusarium solani D-amino acid oxidases. The open reading frame of the T. variabilis DAO1 gene was interrupted by an intron. The Dao1p sequence displays two regions, one in the N-terminal section - the FAD binding site - and the other near the C-terminal region that contains conserved signatures found in all the D-amino acid oxidases. The three C-terminal amino acids suggest that the enzyme may be located in peroxisomes. Northern blot experiments showed that no transcriptional activation occurred in the presence of D-methionine. The cDNA encoding Dao1p was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces lactis. Both yeast species are able to synthesize a functional enzyme under the control of the GAL1 promoter. In K. lactis, up to six times more enzyme units per gram of dry weight are produced with a multicopy plasmid in comparison with the wild-type strain of T. variabilis. The yeast expression system we describe may constitute an alternative source for the production of D-amino acid oxidases at industrial level. The sequence presented here has been submitted to the EMBL data library under Accession Number Z50019. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: As part of the EEC yeast genome program, a fragment of 15 820 bp from the right arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome XI has been sequenced. This fragment corresponds roughly to the centromere-distal half of cosmid pUKG046 and to a small fragment of cosmid pUKG096, which are located approximately 150 kb from the centromere. It contains four open reading frames (ORFs) which encode potential proteins of more than 100 amino acid residues, as well as the UBI2 gene which carries an intron and does not show up as an ORF in the sequence analysis programs. One of the putative proteins, YKR412, is very rich in serine and has significant homology at the carboxyl end to Nopp140 phosphoprotein. YKR413 has several predicted transmembrane domains. YKR15, which has been recently cloned as the MPL1 gene, encodes a polypeptide that shows homologies to myosin heavy chain and to the cytoskeleton protein Uso1.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, there is a general amino acid permease, regulated by nitrogen catabolite repression, and several specific permeases whose nitrogen regulation is not well understood. In this study, we used continuous cultures to analyse the effect of nitrogen limitation and pH on the activity of general and several specific amino acid permeases. General permease activity was maximal in severe nitrogen limitation and diminished 400-fold in cells grown under nitrogen excess. For the specific permeases, the maximal uptake activity was found between mild limitation and nitrogen excess, while very small activity was detected under strict limitation. These results indicate that the nitrogen regulation of the general and the specific amino acid carriers is coordinated in such a way that no redundancy exists in amino acid transport. The regulation of the specific permeases was similar to that found for a system with anabolic function in nitrogen metabolism.All of these permeases are supposed to work through a proton symport mechanism, and thus rely on pH gradients to carry out their function. We studied the effect of pH on the kinetic constants of the general permease. Our results show that the effect of pH on the Km was different for acidic, neutral and basic amino acids, while the effect on Vmax was independent of the electrical charge of the amino acids.

    Notes: We report the sequence of a 9037 bp fragment from the right arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome VII. Analysis of the sequence revealed four complete open reading frames (ORFs), namely G7572, G7576, G7579 and G7584. The first three corresponded, respectively, to the previously cloned genes: HIP1, coding for a high-affinity histidine-specific permease, TDH1, one of the known genes coding for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and ODPX, which encodes a precursor of protein X, a component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. The ORF G7584 showed 35·8% identity with a hypothetical protein of Caenorhabditis elegans chromosome 3. The reported sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under Accession Number X82408.
