    Notizen: Summary Screening of a multi-copy vector-based yeast genomic library in haploid cells of wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae yielded transformants hyper-resistant to various chemical mutagens. Genetical analysis of the yeast insert DNAs revealed three genes SNG1, SNQ2, and SNQ3 that confer the phenotype hyper-resistance to MNNG, to 4-NQO and triaziquone, and to mutagens 4-NQO, MNNG, and triaziquone, respectively. Integration of the gene disruption-constructs into the haploid yeast genome yielded viable null-mutants with a mutagen-sensitive phenotype. Thus, copy number of these non-essential yeast genes determines the relative resistance to certain chemical mutagens, with zero copies yielding a phenotype of mutagen sensitivity and multiple copies one of mutagen hyper-resistance, respectively.

    Notizen: Abstract In an attempt to clone genes involved in resistance to formaldehyde we have screened a genomic library based on the episomal plasmid YEp24 for the ability to increase resistance to formaldehyde in a wild-type strain. In addition toSFA, the gene encoding the formaldehyde dehydrogenase Adh5, an enzyme most potent in formaldehyde de-toxification, we isolated a second plasmid that conferred a less pronounced but significant hyper-resistance to formaldehyde. Its passenger DNA contained the geneADH1, encoding alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (EC 1.1.1.1), which could be shown to be responsible for the observed hyper-resistance phenotype. Construction of anadh1-0 mutant revealed that yeast lacking a functionalADH1 gene is sensitive to formaldehyde. While glutathione is essential for Adh5-mediated formaldehyde de-toxification, Adh1 reduced formaldehyde best in the absence of this thiol compound. Evidence is presented that formaldehyde is a substrate for Adh1 in vivo and in vitro and that its cellular de-toxification employs a reductive step that may yield methanol.

    Notizen: Summary A 3.7 kb DNA fragment of yeast chromosome IV has been sequenced that contains the SFA gene which, when present on a multi-copy plasmid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, confers hyper-resistance to formaldehyde. The open reading frame of SFA is 1158 by in size and encodes a polypeptide of 386 amino acids. The predicted protein shows strong homologies to several mammalian alcohol dehydrogenases and contains a sequence characteristic of binding sites for NAD. Overexpression of the SFA gene leads to enhanced consumption of formaldehyde, which is most probably the reason for the observed hyper-resistance phenotype. In sfa:LEU2 disruption mutants, sensitivity to formaldehyde is correlated with reduced degradation of the chemical. The SFA gene shares an 868 by divergent promoter with UGX2 a gene of yet unknown function. Promoter deletion studies with a SFA promoter-lacZ gene fusion construct revealed negative interference on expression of SFA by upstream sequences. The upstream region between positons − 145 and − 172 is totally or partially responsible for control of inducibility of SFA by chemicals such as formaldehyde (FA), ethanol and methyl methanesulphonate. The 41 kDa SFA-encoded protein was purified from a hyper-resistant transformant; it oxidizes long-chain alcohols and, in the presence of glutathione, is able to oxidize FA. SFA is predicted to code for a long-chain alcohol dehydrogenase (glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase) of the yeast S. cerevisiae.
