    Notes: Abstract Expression of structural genes of phospholipid biosynthesis in yeast is mediated by the inositol/choline-responsive element (ICRE). ICRE-dependent gene activation, requiring the regulatory genes INO2 and INO4, is repressed in the presence of the phospholipid precursors inositol and choline. INO2 and, to a less extent, INO4 are positively autoregulated by functional ICRE sequences in the respective upstream regions. However, an INO2 allele devoid of its ICRE functionally complemented an ino2 mutation and completely restored inositol/choline regulation of Ino2p-dependent reporter genes. Low-level expression of INO2 and INO4 genes, each under control of the heterologous MET25 promoter, did not alter the regulatory pattern of target genes. Thus, upstream regions of INO2 and INO4 are not crucial for transcriptional control of ICRE-dependent genes by inositol and choline. Interestingly, over-expression of INO2, but not of INO4, counteracted repression by phospholipid precursors. Possibly, a functional antagonism between INO2 and a negative regulator is the key event responsible for repression or de-repression.

    Notes: Abstract The malate synthase gene, MLS1, of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is transcriptionally regulated by the carbon source in the growth medium. A MLS1-lacZ fusion gene, expressed at a basal level in the presence of 2% glucose, is derepressed more than 100-fold under conditions of sugar limitation. No evidence for MLS1 induction by oleic acid was found. By deletion analysis of the MLS1 control region, we identified two sites, UAS1 and UAS2, as important for efficient derepression of the gene. Both sites contain sequences that resemble the previously characterized carbon source-responsive element (CSRE) found in the promoter of the isocitrate lyase gene ICL1. Indeed, UAS1 and UAS2 in the MLS1 upstream region turn out to be functional CSRE sequence variants. This finding allowed us to define a modified version of the CSRE consensus sequence (CCRTYSRNCCG). Protein binding to UAS1MLS1 was observed with extracts from derepressed but not from repressed cells, and could be competed for by an excess of the unlabelled CSRE(ICL1) sequence. No competition was observed with a mutated CSRE variant. Site-directed mutagenesis of both CSREs in the MLS1 promoter reduced gene activation under derepressing conditions to 20% of the wild-type level. The same decrease was observed with the wild-type MLS1 promoter in a cat8 mutant, lacking an activator of CSRE-dependent transcription. The CSRE/Cat8p-independent activation of MLS1 is mediated by constitutive UAS elements. The pleiotropic transcription factor Abf1p, which binds to the MLS1 upstream region, may contribute to constitutive activation. Thus, in order to ensure the severe glucose repression of MLS1 observed, repressor elements that respond to the carbon source must counteract constitutive activation. In summary, ICL1 and MLS1 share common cis-acting elements, although a distinct mechanism of carbon source control also contributes to MLS1 regulation.

    Description / Table of Contents: The relationship of the intercrystalline corrosion of a non-stabilised 18/10-chromium-nickel steel with some test solutions and with the potential in boiling 2 n H2SO4Specimens of an austenitic 18/20 nickelchromium steel with about 0.06 pC C, quenched at 1300° C and annealed for different periods of time at 550 or 675° C were potentiostatically subjected to the attack of boiling 2n-H2SO4, of a nitric / hydrofluoric acid pickle at room temperature, and of boiling acids in accordance with the Strauss, Huey and Streicher test. Subsequently, the corrosion rates were determined by weighing and the corrosion examined by visual inspection and microscopically.In the active and passive condition grain boundary corrosion is only encountered after sensitizing annealing. In this connection, the potential merely determines the intensity of the grain boundary attack, but not its occurrence as such. The influence of the potential is more marked at higher than at lower sensitizing annealing temperatures. The test results can easily be interpreted with the aid of the chrome reduction theory.In the transition zone to the transpassive condition, and in the latter, an intercrystalline corrosion attack occurs which depends but little on the sensitizing annealing, and which also occurs with solution-annealed specimens. It is also in this zone of the potential that the non-potentiostatic tests according to Huey and Streicher are carried out.The test results show a specific reaction to chrome reduction of the corrosion attack in the active and passive condition, i.e. the attack in the hydrofluoric/nitric acid pickle and in the Strauss solution. In contrast, the Huey and Streicher tests additionally bring in other properties which, in the main, have an influence on the excess potential of the cathodic part-reaction. These testing agents cannot be regarded as specific criteria for the grain decomposition proneness.
    Notes: Proben eines austenitischen 18/10-Chrom-Nickel-Stahles mit etwa 0,06% C, die von 1300° C abgeschreckt und verschieden lange bei 550 und 675° C geglüht worden waren, wurden potentiostatisch dem Angriff siedender 2n-H2SO4, einer Salpetersäure-Flußsäure-Beize bei Raumtemperatur sowie dem Angriff siedender Säuren entsprechend dem Strauß, Huey- und Streicher-Test unterworfen. Anschließend werden die Korrosionsgeschwindigkeiten durch Wägung bestimmt und der Korrosionsangriff visuell und mikroskopisch im Schliffbild untersucht.Im Aktiv- und Passivzustand tritt Korngrenzenkorrosion nur nach einer Sensibilisierungsglühbehandlung auf. Das Potential bestimmt hierbei nur die Intensität des Korngrenzenangriffs und nicht das Auftreten desselben an sich. Der Einfluß des Potentials ist bei hohen Sensibilisierungslühtemperaturen stärker ausgeprägt, als bei niedrigen Temperaturen. Die Versuchsergebnisse lassen sich mit Hilfe der Chromverarmungstheorie zwanglos deuten.Im Übergangsbereich zum Transpassivzustand erfolgt ein interkristalliner Angriff, der nur wenig von der Sensibilisierungsglühbehandlung abhängt und auch bei lösungsgeglühten Proben auftritt. In diesem Potentialbereich erfolgen auch die nicht potentiostatischen Prüfungen nach Huey und Streicher.Die Versuchsergebnisse zeigen, daß der Angriff im Aktiv- und Passivzustand, also der Angriff in der Flußsäure-Salpeter- Beize und in der Straußschen Lösung, spezifisch auf Chromverarmung ansprechen. Beim Huey- und Streicher-Test werden dagegen zusätzlich noch Eigenschaften, die im wesentlichen die Überspannung der kathodischen Teilreaktion beeinflussen, miterfaßt. Diese Prüfmittel können nicht als spezifisch für die Kornzerfallsanfälligkeit angesehen werden.

    Notes: Stress response elements (STREs, core consensus AG4 or C4T) have been demonstrated previously to occur in the upstream region of a number of genes responsive to induction by a variety of stress signals. This stress response is mediated by the homologous transcription factors Msn2p and Msn4p, which bind specifically to STREs. Double mutants (msn2 msn4) deficient in these transcription factors have been shown to be hypersensitive to severe stress conditions. To obtain a more representative overview of the set of yeast genes controlled via this regulon, a computer search of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome was carried out for genes, which, similar to most known STRE-controlled genes, exhibit at least two STREs in their upstream region. In addition to the great majority of genes previously known to be controlled via STREs, 69 open reading-frames were detected. Expression patterns of a set of these were examined by grid filter hybridization, and 14 genes were examined by Northern analysis. Comparison of the expression patterns of these genes demonstrates that they are all STRE-controlled although their detailed expression patterns differ considerably. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
