    Notes: Summary The purpose of this work is to identify and quantitate in vivo 2 μ plasmid FLP-independent recombination in yeast, using a nonselective assay system for rapid detection of phenotypic expression of the recombination events. A tester plasmid was constructed such that in vivo recombination between 2 μ direct repeat sequences produces the resolution of the plasmid into two circular DNA molecules. This recombinational event is detected as a phenotypic shift from red to white colonies, due to the mitotic loss of the plasmid portion containing the yeast ADE8 gene in a recipient ade1 ade2 ade8 genetic background. In the absence of the 2 μ FLP recombinase and/or its target DNA sequence, recombination is not abolished but rather continues at a high frequency of about 17%. This suggests that the FLP-independent events are mediated by the chromosomally-encoded general homologous recombination system. We therefore conclude that the totality of 2 μ DNA recombination events occurring in FLP+ cells is the contribution of both FLP-mediated and FLP-independent events.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary A gene bank of Sau3A partially restricted Schizosaccharomyces pombe DNA in YEp13 was used to transform an arg4 mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. One colony was recovered which contained the YEp13 plasmid bearing a large insert complementing the argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) mutation. As shown by restriction mapping and subcloning experiments, the DNA sequence required for complementation is localized on a 2 kb BamHI-BamHI fragment. The plasmid complemented several S. cerevisiae arg4 mutants of independent origin and a S. pombe arg7 mutant lacking ASL. Low but significant ASL activities were detected in crude extracts of these transformants. No complementation of the E. coli argH mutant was observed. Southern blot hybridizations showed that the insert originates from the S. pombe genome. No cross-hybridization was found between this sequence and S. cerevisiae DNA. It can be concluded that the cloned DNA fragment bears the S. pombe ARG7 gene coding for ASL.

    Notes: Summary Although Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains generally have similar chromosomal band patterns as revealed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis, individual bands often move slightly differently from one strain to the other. Surveying strains from our stock collection, we found that nearly all the bands of a certain pair of strains differed in their mobility. Some of these chromosome length polymorphisms segregated in a 2:2 ratio, indicating that they resulted from single structural alterations (i.e. additions or deletions). One of these was mapped on the right arm of chromosome 1. Others did not segrate in a simple 2:2 ratio. That is, there were progenies which had bands not present in either parent. We suggest that these new bands are the products of recombination between homologous chromosomes having two or more structural alterations.

    Notes: Summary We have isolated several Tetrahymena thermophila chromosomal DNA fragments which function as autonomously replicating sequences (ARS) in the heterologous Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe selection systems. The Tetrahymena ARS sequences were first isolated in S. cerevisiae and were derived from non-ribosomal micro- and macronuclear DNA. Sequence analysis of the ARS elements identified either perfect or close matches with the 11 by S. cerevisiae ARS core consensus sequence. Subcloning studies of two Tetrahymena ARS elements defined functional regions ranging in size from 50 to 300 bp. Testing of the ARS elements in S. pombe revealed that most of the T. thermophila inserts confer ARS function in both yeasts, at least in the sense of promoting a high transformation frequency to plasmids which contain them. However, the actual sequences responsible for ARS activity were not always identical in the two yeasts.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary A diploid strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been constructed that has one copy of the ribosomal protein gene CYH2 completely deleted and replaced with the TRP1 gene using the method of Rothstein (1983). There are only small differences in growth rate and no detectable difference in steady state level of CYH2 mRNA between the diploid that is heterozygous for the CYH2 deletion and the parent diploid with two normal copies of this gene. This suggests that the diploid must partially compensate for the loss of one CYH2 gene. Tetrad dissection shows that haploid spores lacking the CYH2 gene cannot germinate. The lethality of this deletion can be rescued by a CYH2 cDNA on a low copy vector. Haploids which lack the genomic copy of the CYH2 gene, but contain a plasmid copy of the CYH2 cDNA are able to grow normally. These CYH2 deleted yeast haploids should be useful to analyze mutationally altered CYH2 genes and genes homologous to CYH2 from other organisms without interference from a genomic copy.

    Notes: Summary A 870 by promoter fragment of the PDC1 gene that includes the carbon source dependent regulatory regions was investigated using 5′ and 3′ promoter deletions. The results indicate that glucose and ethanol regulation of PDC1 transcription are independently controlled by distinct cis-acting regions. The consensus sequence AAATCGATA may play a role in this regulation, while the sequence (ATCA)AACCT may be important in transcription initiation.

    Notes: Summary A rapid and simple yeast transformation procedure has been developed using colonies on agar plates. Saccharomyces cerevisiae SHY3 cells were picked up from colonies on YPD plates grown freshly or stored at 4 °C and incubated with M13RK9-T DNA at 30 °C for 1–2 h in a solution of Li+, Ca2+, Mg2+, triacetin and polyethylene glycol. About 3,500 transformants were obtained per µg of double stranded M13RK9-T DNA. Unlike the existing spheroplast techniques, single stranded M13RK9-T DNA transformed intact cells below one-hundredth frequency of the duplex form.

    Notes: Summary A genome clonotheque consisting of 25- to 40-kb Sau3A1 fragments of Aspergillus terreus DNA was constructed in the episomal cosmid vector pES33 containing the yeastARG4 gene. From the 475 transformants of cir° yeast strain ESH-0, 23 stable Arg + transformants were independently selected. Genetic and Southern analysis of these stable transformants showed that 39% arose as a result of recombination between cloned A. terreus DNA sequences and yeast chromosome XII. The recombination events most likely occurred in the regions of homology within the rDNA clusters of A. terreus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary We report for the first time on the regulation of gene expression in yeast by antisense RNA. Chimaeric genes were constructed containing the 5′ upstream and partial coding sequence of SMR1 — a sulfometuron methyl resistant allele of the ILV2 locus. Such fragments were placed 5′ to 3′ and 3′ to 5′ under control of the GAL10 promoter and CYCl terminator in a high copy YEp plasmid. Following galactose induction only transformants containing antisense RNA genes showed biological activity against SMR1 gene expression. Antisense RNA inhibited synthesis of the SMR1 gene product acetolactate synthase and thus repressed cellular growth which resulted in a bradytrophic auxotroph revertable by addition of isoleucine and valine. Antisense RNA inhibition was enhanced in galactose medium containing sulfometuron methyl and in gcn4 cells deficient for positive regulation of the ILV2 locus. This system can be used to study factors that interfere with antisense RNA function and to assign biological function to randomly cloned DNA fragments.

    Notes: Summary A diploid yeast strain with extensive sequence dissimilarity in homologous regions near the LYS2 locus was sporulated, and spontaneous lys2 and lys5 mutant spores, selected on α-amino adipate, were analyzed. As many as 50% of the mutant spores contained a deletion in LYS2. These deletions occurred at a frequency of 5.0 × 10−7. While deletions of various sizes and endpoints were obtained, all the deletions recovered in this study included the border between homologous and non-homologous sequences located 4 kb upstream of LYS2. Large lys2 deletions that extended into an adjacent CYH2 duplication occurred at a frequency of 2.0 × 10−7, more than 1,000 times the frequency of the CYH2-LYS2 deletions found in a related haploid strain. This high frequency of CYH2-LYS2 deletions was observed only after sporulation of the diploid strain, and was dependent upon extensive sequence dissimilarity near the LYS2 locus.

    Notes: Summary Allosuppressor (sal) mutations enhance the efficiency of the yeast ochre suppressor SUQ5 and define five unlinked loci, SALT-SALS. A number of sal4 mutants were isolated and found to have pleiotropic, allele;specific phenotypes, including hypersensitivity in vivo to paromomycin and other antibiotics that stimulate translational errors in yeast. To examine further the nature of the SAL4 gene product, the wild type SAL4 gene was isolated by complementation of a conditional lethal allele sal4-2, and demonstrated to be a single copy gene encoding a single 1.6 kb transcript. Restriction mapping and DNA hybridisation analysis were used to demonstrate that the SAL4 gene is identical to the previously identified omnipotent suppressor gene SUP45 (SUPT). Our results implicate the SAL4 gene product as playing a major role in maintaining translational accuracy in yeast.

    Notes: Summary The formation and removal of formaldehyde-mediated DNA protein cross-linking was measured by CsCI density gradient analysis in yeast strains of differing resistance to formaldehyde. Wild-type cells and transformants made hyperresistant to formaldehyde by a multi-copy vector containing the yeast SFA gene were specifically labeled in their DNA and incubated in the presence of formaldehyde. Treatment with formaldehyde lead to the formation of equal amounts of DNA protein cross-links; subsequent liquid holding of cells for 24 h resulted in the removal of nearly all DNA protein crosslinks regardless of the original formaldehyde resistance status of the strains.

    Notes: Abstract Haploid cells of opposite mating type of Saccharomyces cerevisiae conjugate to form zygote. During the conjugation process, the degradation or reorganization of the cell wall and the fusion of the two plasma membranes take place. Since chloroquine inhibits cellular events associated with the reorganization of the plasma membrane, the effect of the drug on conjugation was studied. Chloroquine at a concentration, at which cell growth was not retarded, inhibited zygote formation, while it did not affect other mating functions, such as sexual agglutination, production of and response to mating pheromone. Cells in a mating culture containing chloroquine formed no “prezygote” suggesting that they were not prepared for entering into fusion process. The inhibitory effect of chloroquine was reversible as cells formed zygote when they were washed after treatment with chloroquine. Zygote formation was unaffected in cells possessing chlorquine within vacuoles after incubation with the drug in complete medium (YPD) at pH 7.5, followed by washing. This suggests that chloroquine inhibits zygote formaton by adsorbing to the plasma membrane of S. cerevisiae.

    Notes: Abstract The enzymatic mechanism of sulphite formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated using a purified 3′-phosphoadenylsulphate (PAPS) reductase and thioredoxin. The functionally active protein (MR 80–85 k) is represented by a dimer which reduces 3′-phosphoadenylyl sulphate to adenosine-3′,5′-bisphosphate and free sulphite at a stoichiometry of 1:1. Reduced thioredoxin is required as cosubstrate. Examination of the reaction products showed that free anionic sulphite is formed with no evidence for “bound-sulphite(s)” as intermediate. V max of the enriched enzyme was 4–7 nmol sulphite · min-1 · mg-1 using the homologous thioredoxin from yeast. The velocity of reaction decreased to 0.4 nmol sulphite · min-1 · mg-1 when heterologous thioredoxin (from Escherichia coli) was used instead. The K m of homologous thioredoxin was 0.6 · 10-6 M, for the heterologous cosubstrate it increased to 1.4 · 10-6 M. The affinity for PAPS remained practically unaffected (K m PAPS: 19 · 10-6 M in the homologous, and 21 · 10-6 M in the heterologous system). From the kinetic data it is concluded that the enzyme followed an ordered mechanism with thioredoxin as first substrate followed by PAPS as the second. Parallel lines in the reciprocal and a common intersect in the Hanes-plots for thioredoxin were seen as indication of a ping-pong (with respect to thioredoxin) uni-bi (with respect to PAPS) mechanism.

    Notes: Abstract Effect of exogenous fatty acids on zygote formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. Arachidonic and oleic acids considerably stimulated zygote formation, but other fatty acids tested, linoleic, linolenic, stearic and palmitic acids, did not. Pretreatment experiments with arachidonic acid showed that the stimulation of zygote formation by the fatty acid required the presence of mating pheromone.

    Notes: Summary The intracellular accumulation of ethanol in yeast and its potential effects on growth and fermentation have been topics of controversy for the past several years. The determination of intracellular ethanol based on the exclusion of [14C]sorbitol to estimate aqueous cell volume was used to examine the question of intracellular ethanol accumulation. An intracellular accumulation of ethanol inSaccharomyces cerevisiae was observed during the early stages of fermentation. However, as fermentation continued, the intracellular and extracellular concentrations of ethanol became similar. Increasing the osmotic pressure of the medium with glucose or sorbitol was observed to cause an increase in the intracellular ethanol concentration. Associated with this was a decrease in yeast growth and fermentation rates. In addition, increasing the osmotic pressure of the medium was observed to cause an increase in glycerol production. Supplementation of the media with excess peptone, yeast extract, magnesium sulfate and potassium phosphate was found to relieve the detrimental effects of high osmotic pressure. Under these conditions, though, no effect on the intracellular and extracellular ethanol distribution was observed. These results indicate that nutrient limitation, and not necessarily intracellular ethanol accumulation, plays a key role during yeast fermentations in media of high osmolarity.

    Notes: Summary A voltage-dependent and Ca2+-activated cation channel found in the vacuolar membrane of the yeast,Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was incorporated into planar lipid bilayer and its gating characteristics were studied at the macroscopic and single-channel levels. The open-channel probability at steady state, which was estimated by the macroscopic current measurement, gave a maximum value at −10 mV and decreased in a graded fashion as the voltage became more positive or more negative. The steady-state voltage dependence was explained by assuming two independent gates, which had different rate constants and opposite voltage dependence. The fast-responding gate opened when the voltage of thecis side (the side to which the vesicles were added) was made more negative and the slow-responding gate behaved in the opposite direction. Relatively high concentrations of Ca2+, about 1mm, were required on thecis side for opening the slow gate in a voltage-dependent manner. DIDS increased the open-channel probability of the fast gate when added to thecis side, but was ineffective on the slow gate.

    Notes: Summary Carcinogen-induced amplification at the CupI locus, coding for a metallothionein protein, was studied in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Exposure of cells from three different haploid strains, 4939, DBY746 and 320, to chemical carcinogens such as N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS) and 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4NQO) enhanced the frequency of copper-resistant colonies up to several hundred fold. Copper-resistant clones obtained from strains DBY746 and 320, which contain more than one copy of the CupI locus, displayed a four-to eightfold amplification of the CupI sequences. In these clones the amplified CupI sequences were organized in a tandem array. Carcinogen treatment of strain 4939 in which only one copy of the CupI gene is present produced resistant colonies without CupI amplification. The possible use of the yeast system to study gene duplication and amplification is discussed.

    Notes: Summary In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae six unlinked structural genes for invertase, the SUC genes, are known. We sequenced about 800 bp of the 5′ non-coding region and the first 220 bp of the coding region of the genes SUC1, SUC3, SUC4 and SUC5 and compared them with the previously sequenced genes SUC2 and SUC7 (Sarokin and Carlson 1985a). All are highly homologous within the coding region but in the non-coding region SUC1 shows some differences and SUC2 is more highly diverged. Two different kinds of TATA boxes were identified: the more strongly expressed genes SUC1, 2 and 4 have the sequence TATAAA and the more weakly expressed genes SUC3, 5 and 7 have TACAAA. Though the SUC1 sequence is in general more homologous to the other SUC genes, the region between-140 and + 100 of SUC1 is nearly identical to SUC2. This could be due to a gene conversion between SUC1 and the silent suc2 o allele which occurs in the strains carrying SUC1. Within the upstream regions of all the SUC genes three regions with palindromic sequences analogous to stem and loop structures were identified. Comparable structure could be detected in similar positions in the upstream sequences of the divergently transcribed yeast gene pairs MAL6S-MAL6T and GAL1-GAL10. Implications for the importance of these structures in the regulation and initiation of transcription are discussed.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary We constructed plasmids carrying the Escherichia coli proB gene that encodes γ-glutamyl kinase, under the control of the yeast GAL1 promoter. This construction was carried out with both the wild-type proB + gene and a mutant allele, proB74, that specifies an enzyme resistant to feedback inhibition by proline. Yeast pro1 mutants harboring these plasmids are proline prototrophs. We conclude that the pro1 mutation results in a deficiency in the γ-glutamyl kinase activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Expression of the proB74 allele in yeast resulted in enhanced resistance to the proline analogue l-azetidine-2-carboxylate and in a 2.4-fold elevation of the intracellular free proline levels. This result suggests that γ-glutamyl kinase is the rate limiting step in proline biosynthesis in yeast.

    Notes: Summary Until recently it was assumed that any short segment of DNA could be approximated as a straight rod. Many instances, however, have been reported in which the helical axis is curved. We have devised a simple method for selective identification of DNA segments containing a sequence-directed bend (curvature), by means of a two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In order to gain general insights into the structural features and the functional significance of sequence-directed bends, a bank of plasmids carrying bent DNA inserts from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae total genomic DNA was constructed. Primary characterizations of a set of bent DNA segments randomly cloned from S. cerevisiae are presented. One of the cloned DNA segments appears to be derived from a yeast plasmid, the 2 μm circle DNA.

    Notes: Summary MATa cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae defective in both the SST1 and SST2 gene products exhibit selfarrest when they express the MFα1 gene under the control of the GAL1 promoter. This reponse to endogenously produced pheromone can be alleviated by mutations which prevent the production of, or response to, α-factor. Suppressors of the self-arrest phenotype include a class of mutants which remain responsive to low levels of pheromone, but are resistant to high levels of α-factor. One of these mutants has been mapped to chromosome X, 31 cM distal to SUP4, and defines a new locus designated STE18.

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.

A previously isolated 1.7kb fragment containing the ARO3 gene and the 5′- and 3′-flanking regions was sequenced. The endpoints of the ARO3 transcript coding for a 370 amino acid protein were mapped by primer extension experiments and S1 nuclease digestion. Promoter elements involved in transcription initiation and responsible for the strong general control derepression response are discussed.

    Notes: Summary The URA4 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, coding for the third enzyme of the pyrimidine pathway, has been cloned through phenotypic complementation of a ura4 mutant of S. cerevisiae. Subcloning of an original 9 kb DNA fragment, carrying the yeast URA4 gene, allowed us to localize the gene on a 2 kb ClaI-BamHI fragment. The sequence of the URA4 structural gene and surrounding DNA was determined by the dideoxynucleotide chain termination method. The URA4 gene encodes a dihydroorotase subunit of calculated molecular weight 40600. S1 nuclease mapping indicated that transcription of URA4 is initiated at four major start sites located at positions-42,-30,-22 and-18. A set of potentially significant sequences was identified in the 5′ OH non-coding region of the gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of dihydroorotase was examined and compared with homologous amino acid sequences of Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli and Drosophila melanogaster. S. cerevisiae dihydroorotase shows 40% homology with the S. typhimurium and E. coli enzymes and 23% homology with the D. melanogaster enzyme. A potential active site has been predicted for dihydroorotase from these comparisons.

    Notes: Summary We have used the special properties of the spo13-1 mutation in order to study the regulation of yeast meiosis by the mating type loci. We have found that both the rme1-1 mutation and the sca mutation allow haploid meiosis in spo13-1 strains. Therefore, haploid meiosis is regulated in the same manner as diploid meiosis. Unlike rme1-1, the sca mutation allows meiosis through derepression of the silent mating type cassettes; sca strains can sporulate only because they express both MAT a and MATα information. We have found further that sca is an allele of SIR2, one of the genes involved in repression of the silent cassettes. Therefore, the RME1 gene is the only known candidate for a master negative regulator through which the MAT locus controls meiosis.

    Notes: Summary Transcription from the yeast TRP1 promoter results in two classes of transcript, I and II, that are influenced by different promoter elements. The 5′ flanking region contains a region of dyad symmetry (RDS) which contains a 12 nucleotide AT rich inverted repeat, separated by a 21 bp spacer region. The RDS lies within a region of the promoter required for transcription of calls II RNAs. A series of internal deletions and insertions have been constructed in vitro around the RDS and the effect of each mutation on transcription has been analysed. Deleting either of the repeats abolishes class II transcription and disruption of both repeats influenced the levels of the larger class I transcripts. Deletion of the spacer had no effect but increasing the length to 33 bp reduced transcription. These results show that the RDS is an important component of the TRP1 promoter, that both repeats must be preserved and that there is some constraint on the spacing of the repeats for maximal function.

    Notes: Summary The relationship between the promoter length of the Kluyveromyces fragilis β-glucosidase gene and the level of its expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied by gene fusion between deleted promoter fragments of various lengths and the promoterless β-galactosidase gene of Escherichia coli. The removal of a region from position-425 to-232 led to a tenfold increase in the expression of the gene. The same results were obtained for the reconstructed β-glucosidase gene with the same promoter length. It is likely that the deletion of this part of the promoter removes negative regulatory elements which are functional in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This increase in activity is the main event which may explain the high increase in gene expression (60-fold) previously observed for an upstream deletion obtained during subcloning experiments of the β-glucosidase gene. It is also shown that the expression of the gene greatly depends upon the nature of the recipient strain, the growth phase of the cell and that of the vector carrying it.

    Notes: Summary A system is described in which spontaneous and chemically-induced mitotic and meiotic hyperploidy can be assayed in the same diploid culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Monitoring gene dosage changes at two loci on chromosome VIII, the test utilizes a leaky temperature-sensitive allele arg4-8 and low level copper resistance conferred by the single copy allele cup1 s. An extra chromosome VIII provides simultaneous increased dosage for both genes, resulting in colonies that are both prototrophic for arginine at 30° C and copper resistant. During mitotic cell divisions in diploids, spontaneous chromosome VIII hyperploids (trisomes and tetrasomes) occur at a frequency of 6.4×10-6 per viable cell. Among ascospores, the spontaneous chromosome VIII disome frequency is 5.5×10-6 per viable spore. The tubulin-binding reagent methyl benzimidazol-2-yl carbamate (MBC) elicits enhanced levels of mitotic and meiotic aneuploidy relative to control levels. The system represents a novel model for examining chromosome behavior during mitosis and meiosis and provides a sensitive and quantifiable procedure for examining chemically induced aneuploidy.

    Notes: Summary The TRP4 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which encoded anthranilate phosphoribosyl transferase (E.C.2.4.2.18), is subject to the general control of amino acid biosynthesis. The regulation takes place at the transcriptional level by increasing the amount of initiation and not by changing the stability of mRNA. We have observed a change in the utilization of TRP4 mRNA start sites, depending on whether cells were grown under repressing or derepressing conditions. The function of promoter elements has been tested by deletion analysis with a plasmid-encoded TRP4 gene. A routinely practicable method was used for copy-number calibration of plasmids based on 2 μm DNA. Promoter structures and spacing problems in the TRP4 promoter region are discussed.

    Notes: Summary A simultaneous distillation-extraction apparatus proposed by Godefroot has been used for the GC study of volatile components of cheese. 5–10 g of cheese provide a fraction that can be directly injected into a GC or a GC/MS. Two capillary columns (SE-30 and SP-1000) were evaluated, the second one being adequate for quantitative determinations. Camphor was used as internal standard. The coefficients of variation ranged from 1.4 to 11.8. The technique can be used as a fast method for the characterization of cheeses from their volatile component concentrations.

Nitrogen was used as the carrier gas, and the chromatographic column (1 cm I.D. and 0.75m length) was packed with Chromosorb A with different quantities of dinonyl phthalate stationary phase and particle sizes. Below ca. 7% (by wt.) of feed concentration, the experimental elution curves of pure DEE and DCM were almost the same as those of the mixture, and the theoretical plate model can be used successfully to predict the elution curves.

The changes of the retention volumes of hydrocarbons is studied for the silicas modified with hexamethylcyclotrisilazane, hexamethyldisilazane and their mixtures. It is shown that most of the carbon in the layer after hexamethylcyclotrisilazane modification is bonded to the surface by Si−O−Si bonds. This fact supports the assumption of a fragmentation of the cyclosilane used for modification.

It has been shown that the conditions determining a given front behaviour of multicomponent gas mixture at u=var depend on: theoretical models for the kinetics and dynamics of adsorption; the values of mass exchange parameters inside the porous grains and in the porous medium. Formulae have been derived for calculating the values of the quantities characterising the frontal behaviour in the stage of adsorption and desorption of multicomponent mixture at u=var.

    Notes: Summary A 2 μm circle-based chimaeric plasmid containing the yeast LEU2 and the Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV-1 TK) genes was constructed. Transformants grown under selective conditions for the LEU2 gene harboured the plasmid at about 15 copies per cell whilst selection for the HSV-1 TK gene led to an increase to about 100 copies per cell. Furthermore, the plasmid copy number could be controlled by the stringency of selection for the TK gene, and the increase in TK gene dosage was reflected in an increase in intracellular thymidine kinase activity. The mitotic stability of the plasmid in “high-copy” and “low-copy” number cells was determined. “High-copy” number cells showed a greater mitotic stability. The relationship of TK expression to plasmid copy number may be useful for the isolation of plasmid copy number mutants in yeast and the control of heterologous gene expression.

    Notes: Summary The yeast 2 μm circle encodes four major transcribed open reading frames, A, B, C and D. Products of ORF's A, B and C, together with the inverted repeats and the other cis-acting loci ORI and STB, have been shown to be involved in plasmid maintenance. However, the function of ORF D has remained unclear. We have therefore carried out studies on 2 μm derivatives with both insertional and frameshift mutations in D. Our results indicate that there is a protein product encoded by ORF D, which is involved in plasmid maintenance. When the copy number of the C gene was reduced to one, by chromosomal integration, we observed striking differences in the efficiency of partitioning of D + and D − plasmid derivatives. Absence of D function could be compensated by an increase in dosage of the C gene, indicating that the D product may act to regulate C expression. Since the C product has been implicated in copy number control as well as partitioning, our data suggest that the D product may also be involved in both of these processes.

    Notes: Summary The TRP1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the only TRP gene which is not derepressible by the general control regulatory system. In the TRP1 promoter transcription starts at five initiation sites, organized in two clusters. The two transcripts of the first, more upstream cluster include a long leader sequence of approximately 200 bp. A transcriptional terminator element located in the 5′ region of the TRP1 gene is essential for accurate gene expression. In partial TRP1 promoters lacking the terminator, like the original EcoRI TRP1 fragment used in numberous vectors, plasmid-encoded transcription is initiated predominantly in adjacent vector regions, resulting mainly in large, poorly translated transcripts. This poor translation is not due to mRNA instability. The effect can be suppressed by introducing artificial transcription barriers between vector sequences and the truncated EcoRI TRP1 fragment.

    Notes: Summary We isolated revertants capable of respiration from the respiratory deficient yeast mutant, FF1210-6C/ 170, which displays greatly decreased mitochondrial protein synthesis due to a single base substitution at the penultimate base of the tRNAAsp gene on mitochondrial (mt) DNA. Three classical types of revertant were identified: (1) same-site revertants; (2) intragenic revertants which restore the base pairing in the acceptor stem of the mitochondrial tRNAAsp; and (3) extragenic suppressors located in nuclear DNA. In addition a fourth type of revertant was identified in which the mutant tRNAAsp is amplified due to the maintenance of both the original mutant mtDNA and a modified form of the mutant mtDNA in which only a small region around the tRNAAsp gene is retained and amplified. The latter form resembles the mtDNA in vegetative petite (rho -) strains which normally segregates rapidly from the wild-type mtDNA. Each revertant type was characterized genetically and by both DNA sequence analysis of the mitochondrial tRNAAsp gene and analysis of the quantity and size of RNA containing the tRNAAsp sequence. These results indicate that the mitochondrial tRNAAsp of the mutant retains a low level of activity and that the presence of the terminal base pair in tRNAAsp is a determinant of both tRNAAsp function and the maintenance of wild-type levels of tRNAAsp.

    Notes: Summary A forward mutation system has been developed to obtain rapidly clonable mutants at the URA3 locus in yeast by means of selection for 5-fluoroorotic acid resistance. We have used this system to determine base changes in 35 spontaneous and 34 ultraviolet radiation-induced ura3 base substitution mutants. Other mutants (frameshift, deletion, duplication, replacement) were detected as well. Evidence is reported which suggests cyclobutane dimers are the principal mutagenic lesions induced by UV radiation in stationary phase cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Since most of the induced lesions are at 5′-TT-3′ sites, the results suggest that the “A-rule”, preferential insertion of adenine residues opposite poorly pairing sites in DNA, does not apply for yeast cells irradiated in stationary phase, whereas the spontaneous mutation data indicate that the A-rule applies for cells in logarithmic phase. Most of the spontaneous mutations are transversions. UV-induced transitions and transversions occur at approximately equal frequencies.

    Notes: Summary Mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNA) from four stable revertant strains generated from high frequency petite forming strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been shown to contain deletions which have eliminated intergenic sequences encompassing ori1, ori2 and ori7. The deleted sequences are dispensable for expression of the respiratory phenotype and mutant strains exhibit the same relative amount of mtDNA per cell as the wild-type (wt) parental strain. These deletion mutants were also used to study the influence of particular intergenic sequences on the transmission of closely linked mitochondrial loci. When the mutant strains were crossed with the parental wt strains, there was a strong bias towards the transmission into the progeny of mitochondrial genomes lacking the intergenic deletions. The deficiency in the transmission of the mutant regions was not a simple function of deletion length and varied between different loci. In crosses between mutant strains which had non-overlapping deletions, wt mtDNA molecules were formed by recombination. The wt recombinants were present at high frequencies among the progeny of such crosses, but recombinants containing both deletions were not detected at all. The results indicate that mitochondrial genomes can be selectively transmitted to progeny and that two particular intergenic regions positively influence transmission. Within these regions other sequences in addition to ori/rep affect transmission.

    Notes: Summary In yeast, synthesis of apocytochrome b from mitochondrial COB mRNA depends on at least three nuclear gene products. The translation stimulatory effect by two of these nuclear genes, CBS1 and CBS2, is mediated by the 5′-untranslated leader of COB mRNA. In this report, we show that CBS2 is located on chromosome IV and provide genetic evidence that the CBS2 gene encodes a polypeptide. Determination of the DNA sequence reveals a contiguous open reading frame of 1167 bp. The deduced polypeptide has a calculated molecular weight of 44.5 kDa and is characterized by a high content of positively charged amino acids. It has no significant homology to any known protein. The CBS2 gene is transcribed into low abundance mRNA species with a major transcription initiation site located 97 bp upstream from the ATG start codon next to a poly(dA-dT) stretch.

The antigen production by Hansenula wickerhamii and Stephanoascus ciferrii was independent of the carbon source and was proportional to the final cell density of the cultures. The same was true of chemostat cultures of Stephanoascus ciferrii, irrespective of the dilution rate and whether glucose or ammonia was the limiting nutrient. In cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, however, antigen excretion mainly took place in the late exponential growth phase. Large amounts of antigen were extracted from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A small amount was detected in the cytoplasm.

    Notes: Summary Several micro-techniques for the removal of solvent from dilute solutions of volatile compounds have been compared. Large solute losses were experienced when the conventional blow-down technique was applied. Better yields could be obtained with static evaporation procedures, as long as an effective reflux was maintained. However, careful optimization of the vessel design and operating conditions is necessary. The most efficient volume reduction technique was shown to be chromatographic evaporation. Quantitative recoveries were obtained for the compounds tested and the process was significantly faster than static concentration. Moreover, operating conditions (gas flow, temperature) are less critical. With modifications, the principle can be used for the concentration of large sample volumes down to a few microliters.

It can also be used to translate retention indices into relative retention time, partition coefficient or specific retention volume. Published values of the slope are collected and critically evaluated. Equations are deduced that predict its approximate value at a specified temperature given the value at only one other temperature.

    Notes: Summary D,L-amino acids were derivatized with (+), (±)-2-butanol or N-trifluoroacetyl-L-prolyl chloride (L-TPC) and then chromatographed. Four optical isomers were separated on a Chirasil-Val capillary column. By this method, the concentration of optical impurities arising from the commercial optically active reagents can be determined. The observed abnormal elution orders of enantiomeric amino acid esters may be caused by a selective intermolecular force.

    Notes: Summary Steroid conjugates are hydrolysed enzymatically using β-glucuronidase after extraction from urine using a solid phase extraction cartridge. After hydrolysis the free steroids are removed from the matrix, again utilising solid phase extraction. Derivatisation of the free hydroxyl groups using Hydrox-Sil AQ produces the respective TMS ethers which are extracted into hexane, in which solvent they are stable for many days. Capillary GC analysis with flame ionisation detection produces a profile of the steroids present in the sample. This technique is suitable for following changes in the urinary excretion profiles of patients undergoing investigation for a variety of steroid production-related diseases.

    Notes: Summary Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) today are ubiquitous detectable constituents of recent sediments. The compounds are adsorbed on particulate emissions and are thus transferred to the environment. To date the analysis of PAH in sediments, dust samples and plant material is based mainly on the application of solvent-extraction methods followed by liquid chromatography and/or gas chromatographic separation of the extracts. An alternative approach for the analysis of PAH in solid samples such as coal, sediments, dust samples and plant waxes is shown in this contribution. A commercially available device for the analysis of volatile compounds present in solid matter is connected on-line to a GC/MS system. The device enables the thermal desorption of hydrocarbons at a temperature of 320°C. Subsequently, the hydrocarbons trapped on the initial part of the capillary column are analyzed by GC/MS. The application of mass chromatography provides the possibility of detection and quantitation of PAH in complex mixtures even when they coelute with other compounds. The sample amount required varies between 1 and 10 mg depending on the hydrocarbon content.

    Notes: Summary Immobilisation methods of the chiral silicone stationary phase Chirasil-L-Val have been studied. In addition to the standard techniques of radical-induced immobilisation with dicumyl peroxide and azo tert-butane, immobilisation was solely achieved by thermal treatment: conditioning at low flow-rates or under stop-flow conditions led to unexpectedly high immobilisation despite mild temperatures. The presence of water vapor in the carrier gas accelerated the immobilisation process. While up to 75% immobilisation was attainable with both ATB and thermal methods, immobilisation with DCUP did not exceed 50%, despite relatively high DCUP concentrations. Whilst all immobilisation methods were accompanied by varying degrees of racemisation at the chiral centre, it was possible to establish conditions that yielded a high immobilisation (in excess of 70%) with a negligible loss in enantiomeric selctivity. The immobilisation reactions also slightly affected the polarity of the stationary phase, reflected in a shift of the Kovats-Indices of amino acid derivatives and in the accompanying “Squalane-Effect”. With respect to immobilisation, racemisation and polarity shift, thermal immobilisation with water-saturated carrier gas proved to be the optimum method.

The unified retention indices of the hydrocarbons were also calculated on squalane. The retention indices obtained on these two phases were interrelated and the quantitative relationship with the structure of the solutes was studied. Equations based on the unified retention indices calculated on squalane and some selected structural elements of the solutes permit the calculation of their retention on methylsilicone with sufficient accuracy.

    Notes: Summary A method is described for the determination of 3-phenyl-4-hydroxy-6-chloropyridazine in potable water. The method is based on isolation and enrichment by passing the water sample through a column of macroreticular polymeric adsorbent resin, concentration, derivatisation with pentafluorobenzoyl chloride and GC measurement with a N-specific detector. The individual experiments for establishing the working conditions, especially the adsorption characteristics of different types of resin, are described. The highest enrichment efficiency is obtained with the methacrylate-type resin XAD7. In field-sampling experiments a 10cm column yields 57% recovery at 100mLmin−1 flow rate, 0.3 ppb concentration level and 1 L sample volume. The method is completely documented; performance data are a detection limit of 0.07 μg L−1 and a mean recovery of 75% at the 0.3 ppb level.

Plots of relative retentions (to CBr4) vs the number of bromine atoms present for known compounds of the general formula CxBryClz (x=1 and 2; y+z=4 or 6) gave three linear correlations (all with r〉0.99). These correlations permitted projections of the identities of reaction products for which no standards were available. These projections were later confirmed by CG-MS. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A0732166 00010

Enzymatic hydrolysis prevents the formation of interferring degradation products. Ether extraction with centrifugation eliminates water soluble interferring substances. Derivatization to hexafluorpropyl- instead of methyl esters results in better separation, shortens analysis time and prolongs the life span of the column.

    Notes: Summary The relative merits of large scale gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have not been reviewed for some considerable time. Although methodologies capable of manufacturing high efficiency (and hence cost effective) plant have existed for over a decade, commercial introduction has been remarkably slow. This has primarily been caused by confidentiality restrictions placed on equipment manufacturers, in turn severely limiting wide ranging applications data. These are necessary to raise potential end users confidence that both techniques offer viable large scale routes to separation and purification of mixtures as analysed by laboratory chromatographic methods. Considerable recent progress has been made with large scale HPLC plant, which has led to sufficient published data to make both technical and economic comparisons against GC possible.
