    Notes: Abstract Eukaryotic genomes encode multiple 70-kDa heat-shock proteins (HSP70s). The Saccharomyces cerevisiae HSP70 family is comprised of eight members. Here we present the nucleotide sequence of the SSA3 and SSB2 genes, completing the nucleotide sequence data for the yeast HSP70 family. We have analyzed these yeast sequences as well as 29 HSP70s from 24 additional eukaryotic and prokaryotic species. Comparison of the sequences demonstrates the extreme conservation of HSP70s; proteins from the most distantly related species share at least 45% identity and more than one-sixth of the amino acids are identical in the aligned region (567 amino acids) among all proteins analyzed. Phylogenetic trees constructed by two independent methods indicate that ancient molecular and cellular events have given rise to at least four monophyletic groups of eukaryotic HSP70 proteins. Each group of evolutionarily similar HSP70s shares a common intracellular localization and is presumed to be comprised of functional homologues; these include heat-shock proteins of the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. HSP70s localized in mitochondria and plastids are most similar to the DnaK HSP70 homologues in purple bacteria and cyanobacteria, respectively, which is consistent with the proposed prokaryotic origin of these organelles. The analyses indicate that the major eukaryotic HSP70 groups arose prior to the divergence of the earliest eukaryotes, roughly 2 billion years ago. In some cases, as exemplified by the SSA genes encoding the cytoplasmic HSP70s of S. cerevisiae, more recent duplication events have given rise to subfamilies within the major groups. The S. cerevisiae SSB proteins comprise a unique subfamily not identified in other species to date. This subfamily appears to have resulted from an ancient gene duplication that occurred at approximately the same time as the origin of the major eukaryotic HSP70 groups.

    Heat shock changes the response of the pso3 mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to 8-methoxypsoralen photoaddition (1994)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract A putative tolerance, induced by heat shock (HS), to the lethal and mutagenic effects of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) photoaddition and hyperthermia was analyzed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using the wild-type strain N123 and the isogenic DNA repair-deficient mutant pso3-1. In wild-type cells, the HS (38°C for 1 h) did not modify either the survival or the mutation frequency observed after 8-MOP photoaddition, even though it conferred protection against the lethal effect of hyperthermia (50°C). In the pso3-1 mutant, HS induced an increase of the survival, and a decrease of the mutation frequency, after 8-MOP photoaddition and it also protected against the lethal effect of hyperthermia. The responses induced by HS were specific for 8-MOP photoaddition, since they were not observed after 254 nm ultraviolet-light damage. These results indicate that the protection conferred by HS depends of the type of lesion, and operates through the induction of different repair processes. In the pso3-1 mutant, HS could channel the repair intermediates to and error-free repair pathway.

    Energy-dependent mitochondrial mutagenicity of antibacterial ofloxacin and its recombinogenic activity in yeast (1994)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Ofloxacin, a specific inhibitor of bacterial topoisomerase II, is known to inhibit the growth of yeast cells and to induce rho − mutants in the yeast S. cerevisiae. The frequency of ofloxacin-induced petite mutants under non-growth conditions was found to be strongly diminished when the cells were depleted in intramitochondrial ATP. Under optimal conditions of mitochondrial mutagenesis the drug induced mitotic recombination and reverse mutation in diploid strains but failed to cure either killer plasmids or the 2 μm DNA of dividing cells. The sensitivity to ofloxacin of the strains deficient in the DNA strandbreak repair pathway (rad52) was significantly higher then that of the wild-type strains and of the mutants deficient in excision or mutagenic DNA repair. The results are compatible with the idea that the cytotoxic and genetic activity of ofloxacin in yeast probably results from the inhibited DNA ligation function of topoisomerase II creating DNA breaks that are reparable through the recombination repair pathway.

    The byp1-3 allele of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae GGS1/TPS1 gene and its multi-copy suppressor tRNAGLN (CAG): Ggs1/Tps1 protein levels restraining growth on fermentable sugars and trehalose accumulation (1994)

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Byp1-3 is an amber nonsense allele of the Sacchromyces cerevisiae GGS1/TPS1 gene which encodes the small subunit of the trehalose synthase complex. Mutations in this gene confer an inability to grow on glucose or fructose but the phenotype of byp1-3 mutants is leaky in a strain-dependent manner. Overexpression of the isolated byp1-3 allele suppressed the growth defect of a ggs1/tps1Δ mutant. Expression of an in-vitro-generated mutant allele of GGS1/TPS1 that lacks all the coding sequences downstream from the byp1-3 mutation led to the production of a shortened protein that did not complement the ggs1/tps1Δ mutant. We have isolated, as an allele-specific multi-copy suppressor of the growth defect of the byp1-3 mutant on fructose, the gene for tRNAGLN (CAG). Thus the leaky phenotype of byp1-3 mutants is due to a low level of read through of the internal nonsense codon by tRNAGLN (CAG). Using overexpression of the isolated byp1-3 allele, as well as of the tRNAGLN (CAG) gene, we were able to demonstrate that as little as about 10% of the normal Ggs1/Tps1 protein level is sufficient for slow growth on fructose. We also show a correlation between the level of Ggs1/Tps1, the ability to accumulate trehalose in stationary phase and the ability to grow on fermentable sugars. Sequence analysis of the cloned tRNAGLN (CAG) gene showed that it is located 700 bp upstream of URA10. However, we found considerable differences to the reported sequence of URA10, in particular in the non-coding region.

    The yeast protein Mrs6p, a homologue of the rabGDI and human choroideraemia proteins, affects cytoplasmic and mitochondrial functions (1994)

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract MRS6 is a newly-identified gene in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its product Mrs6p shows significant homology to the mammalian GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) of Rab/Ypt-type small G proteins and to the human choroideraemia protein (CHM), the component A of Rab-specific GGTase II. The interaction of Mrs6p with G proteins is indicated by our observation that the MRS6 gene suppresses the effect of a temperature-sensitive ypt1 mutation. Disruption of the MRS6 gene is lethal to haploid yeast cells. This is consistent with the notion that Mrs6p is interacting with Rab/Ypt-type small G proteins, which are known to have essential functions in vesicular transport. Unexpeciedly, the MRS6 gene product also affects mitochondrial functions as revealed by the facts that highcopy numbers of MRS6 (1) suppress the pet - phenotype of mrs2-1 mutant strains and (2) cause a weak pet - phenotype in wild-type strains. We conclude from these results that the MRS6 gene product has a vital function in connection with Rab/Ypt-type proteins in the cytoplasm and, in addition, affects mitochondrial functions.

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract In the yeastYarrowia lipolytica, theLYC1 locus controls the first step of the lysine degradation pathway which is catalyzed by lysine N-6-acetyl transferase (LAT). This gene was cloned by complementation of thelyc1-100 mutation. Its position in the cloned insert was determined by conversion mapping and by complementation. TheLYC1 gene encodes a 391 amino-acid polypeptide which has no homolog in protein databases. The required upstream region extends over 960 bp. When placed under the control of theGAL10 promoter inSaccharomyces cerevisiae, LYC1 drives the expression of lysine acetyl transferase activity, thus providing strong evidence that it is the structural gene encoding this enzyme.

    Basidiomycetousras cDNA functionally replaces its homolog genes in yeast (1994)

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract It was shown by a plasmid exchange procedure that the Ras-encoding cDNA of the basidiomyceteLentinus edodes (namedLeras cDNA) can functionally replace its homolog genes (ScRAS1 andScRAS2) in the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae to maintain the viability of an yeast strain containing genetic disruptions of bothRAS genes. The strain replaced by aLeras−cDNA-carrying plasmid, however, grew slower than the strains replaced by aScRAS1− or aScRAS2−carrying plasmid. The intracellular level of cAMP in the strain harboring theLeras−cDNA-carrying plasmid was clearly higher than that of a parental strain which maintains a plasmid carrying theS. cerevisiae cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit C1 gene,TPK1, but was lower than that in a strain harboring anScRAS2−carrying plasmid. These results suggest that theLeras cDNA can complement theras1 − ras2− mutation of yeast by virture of the stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity, although the complementation is not as efficient as that obtained by expressing theScRAS2 gene.

    Analysis of the role of the NUC1 endo/exonuclease in yeast mitochondrial DNA recombination (1994)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Mitochondrial DNA recombination was reduced in an yeast mutant lacking the NUC1 endo/exonuclease. Between linked markers in either the ω or cob region the frequency of recombination decreased nearly 50% compared to wild-type. Gene conversion frequencies in the var1 gene and in the ω region were also lower in the mutant strain. In particular, the gradient of gene conversion at ω was most affected by the absence of the NUC1 nuclease. In crosses between nuclease-deficient and wild-type strains, gene conversion frequencies at ω were reduced only when the ω+ allele was contributed to the zygote by the nuclease-deficient parent. We propose that the 5′ exonuclease activity of the NUC1 nuclease functions during recombination to enlarge heteroduplex tracts following a double-strand break in DNA. In crosses between nuclease-deficient and wild-type strains, the anisotropy in gene conversion frequencies at ω is hypothesized to be due to the slow mixing of parental motochondrial membranes as they fuse in the zygote.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The yeast CIT1 (mitochondrial citrate synthase) gene is subject to glucose repression and is further repressed by glucose plus glutamate. Based on deletion analysis of a CIT1-lacZ gene fusion, DNA sequences between -548 and -273 are required for full expression of CIT1. The region of transcription initiation and the putative TATA element are located at -150 to -100 and -195 respectively. A restriction fragment containing DNA sequences between -457 and -211 conferred activation and glucose-glutamate regulation when placed in either orientation upstream of a USA-less heterologous yeast gene. Deletion of DNA sequences between -291 and -273 specifically eliminated derepression of CIT1, and destroyed one of two closely-spaced, potential binding sites for the HAP2,3,4 transcriptional activator protein. Tenbase-pair block substitutions in the region -367 to -348 reduced glucose-repressed expression. Thus, it appears that distinct DNA sequences upstream of CIT1 activate expression in glucose-repressed and derepressed cells. Possible mechanisms of regulation by glutamate plus glucose, are discussed.

    Cloning and analysis of a FLO5 flocculation gene from S. cerevisiae (1994)

    Notes: Abstract A yeast flocculation gene was isolated from a genomic library of an FLO5 strain of S. cerevisiae on the basis of its ability to trigger flocculation in a non-flocculent strain. Characterization of the cloned gene by restriction mapping, Southern analysis, and chromosome mapping have shown that it corresponds to a FLO5 gene previously located on chromosome I and that this gene is related to the already described. FLO1 gene. A study of gene expression in different yeast strains has indicated that, while this gene is dominant, its expression can be suppressed in some genetic backgrounds. A Northern-blot analysis has demonstrated that the same 5000-nt transcript was present in an FLO5 and an FLO1 strain. A gene disruption experiment has led to the conclusion that another flocculation gene is present and can be active in the FLO5 strain we used.
