    Notizen: Redundancy is a salient feature of all living organisms' genome. The yeast genome contains a large number of gene families of previously uncharacterized functions that can be used to explore the functional significance of structural redundancy in a systematic manner. In this work, we describe results on a three-member gene family with moderately divergent sequences (YOL055c, YPL258c and YPR121w ). We demonstrate that two members are isofunctional and encode a hydroxymethylpyrimidine phosphate (HMP-P) kinase (EC 2.7.4.7), an activity required for the final steps of thiamine biosynthesis, whose genes were not previously known in yeast. In addition, we show that the three genes are each composed of two distinct domains, each corresponding to individual genes in prokaryotes, suggesting gene fusion during evolution. The function of the carboxy-terminal part of the proteins is not yet understood, but it is not required for HMP-P kinase activity. Expression of all three genes is regulated in the same way. Several other examples of gene fusions exist in the same biosynthetic pathway when eukaryotic genes are compared with prokaryotic ones.

    Notizen: Abstract We have developed a system in which a unique double-stranded break (DSB) can be introduced into a yeast chromosome during mitotic growth. The recognition site for the endonuclease I-SceI was inserted at different places in the yeast genome in haploid and diploid cells expressing this endonuclease. Induction of the break in haploids results in cell death if no intact copy of the cleaved region is present in the cell. If such a copy is provided on a plasmid, as an ectopic gene duplication, or on a homologous chromosome, the break can be repaired. Repair results in two identical copies in the genome of the locus which has been cut. We call this phenomenon homozygotization by reference to diploids heterozygous for the cut site in which repair leads to homozygosis at this site. We have compared the efficiencies of repair in the various topological situations examined, and conclude that some mechanism must search for regions of homology to both sides of the DSB and that repair is successful only if the homologies are provided by the same template molecule.

    Notizen: We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a fragment of chromosome XV of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cloned into cosmid pEOA048. The analysis of the 26 857 bp sequence reveals the presence of 19 open reading frames (ORFs), and of one RNA-coding gene (SNR17A). Six ORFs correspond to previously known genes (MKK1/SSP32, YGE1/GRPE/MGE1, KIN4/KIN31/KIN3, RPL37B, DFR1 and HES1, respectively), all others were discovered in this work.Only five of the new ORFs have significant homologs in public databases, the remaining eight correspond to orphans (two of them are questionable). O5248 is a probable folylpolyglutamate synthetase, having two structural homologs already sequenced in the yeast genome. O5273 shows homology with a yeast protein required for vanadate resistance. O5268 shows homology with putative oxidoreductases of different organisms. O5257 shows homology with the SAS2 protein and another hypothetical protein from yeast. The last one, O5245, shows homology with a putative protein of Caenorhabditis elegans of unknown function. The present sequence corresponds to coordinates 772 331 to 799 187 of the entire chromosome XV sequence which can be retrieved by anonymous ftp (ftp. mips. embnet. org).

    Notizen: We report here the DNA sequence of a segment of chromosome III extending over 8·2 kb. The sequence was determined using the random clone strategy followed by oligonucleotide-directed sequencing. The segments contains five long open reading frames, YCR521, 522, 523, 524 and 526, with only short distances between them. YCR523 (333 codons) endodes a ribokinase, a new function for yeast. YCR526 originates inside the MAT cassette, which is in continuity with the present segment, and extends over 358 codons outside of MAT. YCR524 (923 codons) codes for a putative membrane protein. YCR521, 522 and 524, have each been disrupted by insertion of a URA3 cassette and are non-essential genes. An active ARS element is located within YCR523 or its vicinity.

    Notizen: A detailed and systematic transcript map is a first and necessary step to characterize new genes revealed by systematic sequencing. Chromosome XI of Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains 331 open reading frames (ORFs) of which 44% are of unknown function (Dujon et al., 1994). As a first study towards complete transcript analysis of chromosome XI, we have extracted RNA from three isogenic strains (a, α and 2 n) grown in three standard laboratory media, and have analysed them using contiguous probes covering two regions of 17 and 19 kilobases, respectively. All 20 predicted ORFs in the sequences correspond to expressed genes, six of which have no predicted function. Four short ORFs which were suspected as not being real genes on the basis of their sequence are not expressed in our growth conditions. An additional transcript which does not correspond to a large ORF was found. Steady-state RNA level of most ORFs is 10 to 100 times than that of the actin gene, only three are transcribed in comparable amounts. Three ORFs show variable levels of transcripts in the different growth conditions, all patterns being different from one another. Extrapolation of these results to systematic transcript analysis of chromosome XI and other yeast chromosomes is presented.

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: New tools are needed for speedy and systematic study of the numerous genes revealed by the sequence of the yeast genome. We have developed a novel transformation strategy, based on ‘split-marker’ recombination, which allows generation of chromosomal deletions and direct gene cloning. For this purpose, pairs of yeast vectors have been constructed which offer a number of advantages for large-scale applications such as one-step cloning of target sequence homologs and combinatorial use. Gene deletions or gap-repair clonings are obtained by cotransformation of yeast by a pair of recombinant plasmids. Gap-repair vectors are based on the URA3 marker. Deletion vectors include the URA3, LYS2 and kanMX selection markers flanked by I-SceI sites, which allow their subsequent elimination from the transformant without the need for counter-selection. The application of the ‘split-marker’ vectors to the analysis of a few open reading frames of chromosome XI is described.
