    Notes: Summary Four haploid yeast strains differing in proficiency for DNA repair were treated with cis- or transDDP. The wild type was least sensitive while the excision-deficient mutants rad1, rad2 and snm1exhibited higher sensitivities to either platinum compound. In all four strains tested cisDDP showed a two- to five-fold higher cytotoxicity than equimolar concentrations of transDDP. DNA interstrand cross-linking was caused by both agents in all strains. However, transDDP introduced more DNA cross-links at exposure times up to 6 h while cisDDP was the more active cross-linking agent at longer times. There was no clear-cut correlation of the number of DNA interstrand cross-links with survival. Formaldehyde-treated cells showed DNA with lower buoyant density due to proteinase K sensitive DNA-protein cross-linking; this effect was not observed after treatment with either platinum compound. Post-treatment incubation of wild-type cells exposed to cisDDP led to degradation of DNA by single and double-strand breaks, parallel with further increase of DNA interstrand cross-linking. DNA from transDDP-treated cells did not show extensive degradation although interstrand cross-links were lost during liquid holding.

    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.

    Hyperresistance to DNA damaging agents in yeast (1986)
    Springer

    Notes: Summary In order to study resistance to DNA damaging agents, yeast DNA segments conferring hyperresistance in this organism to such genotoxic agents were selected for among yeast cells transformed by a yeast genome library based on the multi-copy vector plasmid YEp13. Genetic variants hyperresistant to 4-nitroquinohne-N-oxide, formaldehyde, and alkylating agents were isolated and the respective hyperresistance determinants shown to co-segregate with the vector plasmid. Phenotypical characterization indicated different degrees of resistance, few cases of cross-resistance and differing structural stability of the cloned DNA. By transfer to E. coli and subsequent retransformation of yeast a number of plasmids was shown to stably carry the genetic information for hyperresistance.

    Molecular structure of the DNA cross-link repair gene SNM1(PSO2) of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1992)

    Notes: Summary A 3.2 kb yeast DNA fragment containing the DNA interstrand cross-link-specific repair gene SNM1 has been sequenced. Two genes were identified. SNM1 has an open reading frame of 1983 by and codes for a 661 amino acid protein. Hydrophobic analysis shows that the protein is most probably not directly membrane bound. The second gene, UGX1, has an open reading frame of 573 by coding for a polypeptide of 191 amino acid residues. The two genes are arranged head to head and share a 192 by divergent promoter region that contains three TATAAA motives, two for the SNM1 and one for the UGX1 locus. Gene UGX1 has no apparent influence on the sensitivity of the cell to cross-linking nitrogen mustard, as its disruption in wild type does not increase sensitivity to nitrogen mustard and the presence of multiple copies of the gene fails to complement the nitrogen mustard sensitivity phenotype of snm1 disruption mutants. Northern analysis revealed that the expression of SNM1 yields an average of 0.3 copies/cell of a 2.4 kb transcript, while expression of UGX1 yields higher levels of a 0.8 kb poly(A)+ RNA.
