    Notes: Abstract The SKP1 gene of Kluyveromyces lactis was isolated as a suppressor of a lethal temperature-sensitive mutation in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CTF13 gene (Chromosome Transmission Factor 13). KlSKP1 was localized at chromosome V, adjacent to KlPAS3. A similar arrangement of the two genes is present in S. cerevisiae. Disruption of the KlSKP1 gene was lethal, whereas overexpression of KlSKP1 lead to a decreased growth rate, to swollen and chain-forming cells with an increased DNA content, and to decreased plasmid stability. In both yeasts, promoter constructs lacking most of the purported binding sequence showed increased transcription levels of KlSKP1 in comparison to constructs with the entire promoter.

    Notes: Abstract  The Kluyveromyces lactis UBP2 gene was isolated as a suppressor of a temperature-sensitive mutation in CBF2, a gene coding for a centromere-binding protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The UBP genes are hydrolases than can cleave a ubiquitin moiety from a protein substrate. KlUBP2 is not essential for growth since a disruption of the KlUBP2 gene had little effect, except for a slight decrease in the growth rate. The stability of centromere-containing plasmids was not influenced either. In addition to KlUBP2, five S. cerevisiae genes involved in the ubiquitination pathway could suppress the ts-mutation in the CBF2 gene, namely UBA1, UBA2, UBP1, UBP2 and YUH1, although YUH1 was the only one that could do this like KlUBP2 from a single-copy plasmid. Surprisingly, these genes encode proteins with antagonistic activity as two, UBA1 and UBA2, are ubiquitin-activating enzymes whereas the other three are de-ubiquitinating hydrolases.

    Notes: Abstract   By ethyl methanesulphonate mutagenesis of the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis we have isolated five nuclear mutants that were unable to grow on non-fermentable carbon sources. The mutations were found to belong to three complementation groups. After functional complementation of the mutation in one of these mutants we have cloned the structural gene for cytochrome c 1, named KlCYT1. This gene has been assigned to chromosome VI and its nucleotide sequence exhibited 74.3% identity to the homologous gene of S. cerevisiae.

    Notes: Abstract The role of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) during growth and development of Aspergillus nidulans was investigated. In normal cultures the highest amount of cAMP, expressed on a dry weight basis, was found after 24 h of growth when still more than 5% glucose was present in the medium. After depletion of the medium even a slight fall in cAMP was noted. Glucose concentrations ranging from 0.5–12% resulted in a slight decrease in the amount of cAMP as measured after 24 h of growth. Cultures with manganese deficiency resulted in a low cAMP level after 24 h of growth. However, the exhaustion of glucose in the absence of manganese was connected with a sharp increase in cAMP. This indicates that manganese shortage was not a direct cause of the low cAMP level after 24 h. The amount of cAMP rose with increasing concentration of manganese in the medium until a maximum at 0.25 μM. It is tempting to speculate that this rise in cAMP in the manganese deficient culture is explained by the absence of glucose, that in the control culture is derived from the breakdown of the reserve material α-1,3-glucan. Addition of manganese after glucose exhaustion to a manganese deficient culture induced cleistothecium formation. However, they contained only a few ascospores indicating the importance of α-1,3 glucan as a carbon and energy source for ascospore formation. The regulation of the level of cAMP by the transport of glucose into the cell or its intracellular concentration is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The centromere of Kluyveromyces lactis was delimited to a region of approximately 280 bp, encompassing KICDEI, II, and III. Removal of 6 bp from the right side of KlCDEIII plus flanking sequences abolished centromere function, and removal of 5 bp of KICDEI and flanking sequences resulted in strongly reduced centromere function. Deletions of 20–80 bp from KlCDEII resulted in a decrease in plasmid stability, indicating that KlCDEII must have a certain length for proper centromere function. Centromeres of K. lactis do not function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and vice versa. Adapting the length of K1CDEII to that of ScCDEII did not improve KlCEN function in S. cerevisiae, while doubling the ScCDEII length did not improve ScCEN function in K. lactis. Thus the difference in CDEII length is not in itself responsible for the species specificity of the centromeres from each of the two species of budding yeast. A chimeric K. lactis centromere with ScCDEIII instead of KlCDEIII was no longer functional in K. lactis, but did improve plasmid stability in S. cerevisiae, although to a much lower level then a wild-type ScCEN. This indicates that the exact CDEIII sequence is important, and suggests that the flanking AT-rich CDEII has to conform to specific sequence requirements.

    Notes: Seventy-six red adenine mutants of Kluyveromyces lactis were isolated. By complementation they could be assigned to two groups with 31 and 45 mutants. Transformation of several strains from each group with plasmids containing the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ADE1 or ADE2 gene showed that the largest group was ade2 and the other group was ade1. Several previously isolated ‘ade1’ mutants were classified to either group and given new gene and allele numbers. ADE1 was localized at chromosome III, closely linked to the mating type gene, making it a convenient marker for mating type. ADE2 was localized at chromosome V.

    Notes: The gene coding for the centromere-binding factor 5 (CBF5) of Kluyveromyces lactis has been isolated by hybridization of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBF5 DNA probe to a K. lactis library. The amino acid sequence of KlCbf5 is highly homologous, 88% identity, to ScCbf5, but also to the rat protein Nap57 (64% identity). The main difference between both yeast proteins and the rat protein is the presence of a lysine-rich domain with KKE/D repeats in the C-terminal part of the protein. These repeats are thought to be involved in binding of the protein to microtubules. Deletion of the KKE/D domain in KlCbf5 however, has no discernible effect on growth on rich medium, sensitivity to the microtubule-destabilizing drug benomyl or segregation of a reporter plasmid. On the other hand, insertion of two leucine residues adjacent to the KKE domain increases the loss rate of a reporter plasmid. In both yeasts complementation of a lethal CBF5 disruption with the heterologous gene results in a slight increase in benomyl sensitivity. A possible role of CBF5 in chromosome segregation will be discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
