    Notes: Summary The mutant allele pso3-1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae confers sensitivity to treatment with UV365nm (UVA) light-activated mono- and bi-functional psoralens. When pso3-1 is combined in double mutants with selected rad and pso mutant alleles and subjected to 8-MOP+UVA treatment, epistatic interaction with regard to survival is observed with pso1, pso2, and rad3. With the same treatment the combination of pso3-1 with rad6 and rad52 leads to synergistic interaction. For the monofunctional agent 3-carbethoxypsoralen (3-CPs) the analysis of double mutants yields the same results as with the bifunctional 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) with the exception of the pso1-1pso3-1 double mutant. Here we find an additive interaction, i.e., the sensitivities of both parental strains are summed in the double mutant, which indicates a different substrate specificity of the repair activity encoded by the PSO1 and PSO3 genes.

    Notes: 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.

    Notes: Abstract The MNNG hyper-resistance of yeast transformants containing multiple copies of the SNQ3/YAP1 yeast gene is not caused by lowered MNNG activation due to depleted pools of glutathione. On the contrary, the SNQ3/YAP1-encoded protein stimulates production of GSH, apparently by promoter activation due to the AP-1 recognition element. Expression of at least one further gene, encoding a protein with a strong detoxifying activity, must also be stimulated to explain the MNNG hyper-resistance phenotype.
