    Notizen: Southern blot analysis showed that ATP1 and ATP2 map on chromosomes II and X, respectively. Physical mapping of ATP1 and ATP2 by chromosome fragmentation showed that ATP1 is at the left end of chromosome II and ATP2 is at the right end of chromosome X. Both are located close to telomere sequences of each chromosome; ATP1 and ATP2 being approximately 30 kb and 85 kb from the respective telomeres.

    Notizen: The DNA sequence of two contiguous 7648 bp and 1194 bp BamHI fragments from the cosmid α1201 located about 60 kb from the centromere on the left arm of chromosome II from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined. Sequence analysis reveals four new open reading frames longer than 300 bp: YBL0415 (309 bp), YBL0416 (4539 bp). YBL0417 (1035 bp) and YBL0414 (2115 bp), which extends into the neighbouring 5·2 kb BamHI fragment. The YBL0414 shows homologies to the mouse 68 kDa and Drosophila melanogaster 76 kDa subunits of the DNA polymerase α-primase complex. The YBL0417 is homologous to bacterial GTP cyclohydrolase II (EC 3.5.4.25). The sequence has been deposited in the EMBC data library under Accession Number X74738.

    Notizen: The complete DNA sequence of cosmid clone pUKG148 comprising 28 600 base pairs was determined from an ordered set of subclones. The sequence contains 22 open reading frames longer than 100 amino acids of which five are entirely covered by other, longer reading frames. YKL054 exhibits 25% homology at the amino acid level to a number of plant storage proteins of the glutenin type, YKL056 is 40% homologous to a translationally controlled mammalian tumour protein, YKL058 (TOA2) is identical to the small subunit of transcription factor TFIIA from yeast and YKL060 is identical to the FBA1 gene also from yeast, already sequenced but not mapped to chromosome XI. The remaining 13 open reading frames show weak or no homology to known genes. The nucleotide sequence data have been deposited in the EMBL and GenBank data libraries under Accession Number X75781.

    Notizen: The mutations rad3-101 and rad3-102 (formerly rem1-1 and rem1-2) of the essential RAD3 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae confer a phenotype of semidominant enhancement of spontaneous mitotic recombination and mutation frequencies, but not extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) light. These properties differ from the previously published observations of other rad3 mutations, which are very UV-sensitive but do not alter recombination frequencies significantly. We have located the position of DNA sequence changes from wild-type RAD3 to the rad3-101 and rad3-102 mutations and have demonstrated that these sequence changes are necessary and sufficient to confer the (Rem-) mutant phenotype when transferred into otherwise wild-type RAD3 plasmids. The Rem- mutations are not located in the same region. It is possible that the two regions of the gene in which these mutations map define portions of the molecule which are in contact when folded in the native configuration. To begin to test this hypothesis, we have constructed two double mutant alleles, one with rad3-101 and rad3-102, and one with the UV-sensitive rad3-1 mutation and rad3-102. We find that plasmids carrying these double mutant alleles of RAD3 are no longer able to confer a hyper-recombinational phenotype and do not complement the UV-sensitivity of the excision-defective rad3-2 allele. We conclude that the double mutant alleles are non-functional for excision repair, and may be null. We have also constructed new rad3 alleles by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis and have tested their effects on spontaneous mutation and mitotic recombination and on UV repair.

    Notizen: SPT genes are suppressors of mutations induced by the retrotransposon Ty in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. All SPT genes isolated to date suppress Ty-induced mutations by altering transcription. SPT23 was identified as a multicopy suppressor of the Ty-induced promoter mutations his4-912δ and lys2-61. Multicopy expression of SPT23 suppresses a variety of Ty-induced promoter mutations, including the MAT-regulated alleles his4-917 (480) and lys2-173R2. Here, we report the initial characterization of the SPT23 gene, including its nucleotide sequence and location in the yeast genome. The SPT23 gene contains a 1854 base pair open reading frame. Searches of the current data bases show no homology between SPT23 and previously described genes or proteins. The SPT23 gene is located between RAM2 and MAK11 on the left arm of chromosome XI. Tn10-LUK insertional mutagenesis of the SPT23 gene indicates that SPT23 is not essential for vegetative growth and spt23 mutations do not confer an Spt- phenotype.

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: The pattern of energy metabolism of different types of yeasts (obligate aerobes and facultative anaerobes) in aerobic chemostat cultures has been evaluated and interpreted on the basis of a coupling of metabolic fluxes between glycolytic and oxidative components.A model has been formulated which defines glycolytic and oxidative subunits through which the substrate C-flux (gram-atom g-1 h-1) is calculated, stating that a relative imbalance between glycolytic flux and subsequent oxidative steps alone is sufficient to account for the onset of oxidoreductive metabolism in any type of yeast, irrespective of the maximum respiratory capacity. The model is able to reproduce the patterns of behaviour reported for the different types of yeasts, and the individual features of each strain are explained on the basis of metabolic differences which are defined by a set of normalized parameters. The model can be applied to different substrates and conditions, providing a methodological basis for more detailed studies of the steps controlling yeast energy metabolism.

    Notizen: The constitutive transport of hexoses in yeast has been re-examined with a new radioactive experimental approach devised to distinguish between association or independence of the transport step with phosphorylation of the sugar substrate. The approach takes advantage of the fact that the label of [2-3H]mannose disappears once it has been phosphorylated by the yeast, due to its conversion to fructose-6-phosphate. Our results with wild-type yeast and this fermentable sugar support the view that the transport of hexoses in yeast does not involve phosphorylation of the substrate. Other features of the transport process have been examined using this experimental procedure and are also reported.

    Notizen: In this paper are described a set of new high-copy-number yeast vectors, which are specially designed for the conditional expression of epitope-tagged proteins in vivo. One of the major advantages of these plasmids is that they allow polymerase chain reaction-amplified open reading frames to be automatically fused in frame with the epitope-coding sequence, avoiding longer procedures such as site-directed mutagenesis. This heterologous construction can be realized either at the 5′-end of the coding sequence, in the pYeF1 vector, or at its 3′-end, in pYeF2, generating N- or C-terminal tagged proteins, respectively. Moreover, to increase the usefulness of the method, derivatives of the two basic URA3-borne pYeF1 and pYeF2 were constructed, carrying either the HIS3 or TRP1 gene as a marker of selection. These vectors could be of use for the purpose of functional analysis of the newly discovered genes resulting from the systematic sequencing of the yeast genome. Here, we present results showing the functional expression and the efficient immunoprecipitation of the epitope-tagged Rna15 protein, which is involved in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mRNA stability.

    Notizen: The location and sequence of the PDA1 gene, encoding the E1α subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, were determined. The PDA1 gene was located on a 6·2 kb fragment of chromosome V, approximately 18 kb centromere distal to RAD3. Consistent with this, the PDA1 gene was genetically mapped at 4 cM from RAD3. A part of the 6·2 kb fragment of chromosome V was sequenced. The nucleotide sequence contained the PDA1 open reading frame and the entire putative promoter. Computer analysis revealed a putative GCN4 binding motif in the PDA1 promoter. The presence of transcriptional elements was experimentally determined by deletion analysis. To this end, ExoIII deletions were constructed in the 5′ to 3′ direction of the PDA1 promoter and effects on transcription were determined by Northern analysis. Transcription was unaffected upon deletion to position - 190 relative to the ATG start codon. Deletions from position - 148 and beyond, however, reduced promoter activity at least 40-fold. Apparently the 42 bp between nucleotides - 190 and - 148 contain an element essential for transcription. Inactivation of the PDA1 promoter could not be attributed to deletions of a recognizable TATA element or any known yeast regulatory motifs. The possible role of the CCCTT sequence present in the 42 bp region and also in the promoters of the other genes encoding subunits of the PDH complex is discussed.

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a genetic program for selecting and assembling a bud site on the cell cortex. Yeast cells confine their growth to the emerging bud, a process directed by cortical patches of actin filaments within the bud. We have investigated how cells regulate budding in response to osmotic stress, focusing on the role of the high osmolarity glycerol response (HOG) pathway in mediating this regulation. An increase in external osmolarity induces a growth arrest in which actin filaments are lost from the bud. This is followed by a recovery phase in which actin filaments return to their original locations and growth of the original bud resumes. After recovery from osmotic stress, haploid cells retain an axial pattern of bud site selection while diploids change their bipolar budding pattern to an increased bias for forming a bud on the opposite side of the cell from the previous bud site. Mutants lacking the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase encoded by HOG1 or the MAP kinase kinase encoded by PBS2 (previously HOG4) show a similar growth arrest after osmotic stress. However, in the recovery phase, the mutant cells (a) do not restart growth of the original bud but rather start a new bud, (b) fail to restore actin filaments to the original bud but move them to the new one, and (c) show a more random budding pattern. These defects are elicited by an increase in osmolarity and not by other environmental stresses (e.g., heat shock or change in carbon source) that also cause a temporary growth arrest and shift in actin distribution. Thus, the HOG pathway is required for repositioning of the actin cytoskeleton and the normal spatial patterns of cell growth after recovery from osmotic stress.

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: THI4, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene originally identified as a result of transient expression in molasses medium and named MOL1 is regulated by thiamine. Using a THI4 promoter-lacZ fusion on a centromeric yeast vector, we have shown that the THI4 is completely repressed throughout batch culture by thiamine at a concentration around 1 μM, but shows high level constitutive expression in thiamine-free medium. The transient expression pattern observed in molasses medium can be mimicked by the addition of 0·15 μM-thiamine to defined minimal medium. Cells grown in thiamine-free medium have an intracellular thiamine concentration of around 9 pmol/107 cells. A low level (1 μM) of exogenous thiamine is completely sequestered from the medium within 30 min; intracellular thiamine concentrations rise rapidly, followed by a gradual decrease as a result of dilution during growth. A saturating extracellular level of thiamine leads to a maximal intracellular concentration of around 1600 pmol/107 cells, at which point the transport system is shut down. After transfer from repressing to non-repressing medium, THI4 becomes induced when the intracellular concentration of thiamine falls to 20 pmol/107 cells. A thi4::UARA3 disruption strain is auxotrophic for thiamine, but can grow in the presence of hydroxyethyl thiazole, indicating that the gene product is involved in the biosynthetic pathway leading to the formation of the thiazole precursor of thiamine.

    Notizen: We have isolated, sequenced, mapped and disrupted a novel gene, CCC1, from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This gene displays non-allelic complementation of the Ca2+-sensitive phenotype conferred by the csg1 mutation. The ability of this gene, in two copies per cell, to reverse the csg1 defect suggests it may have a role in regulating Ca2+ homeostasis. The sequence of CCC1 indicates that it encodes a 322 amino acid, membrane-associated protein. The CCC1 gene is located on the right arm of chromosome XII. The sequence has been deposited in the GenBank data library under Accession Number L24112.

    Notizen: Conjugation in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is controlled by the reciprocal action of mating pheromones. We recently showed that M-factor, the pheromone released by cells of the cellular mating type Minus, is a nonapeptide in which the C-terminal cysteine residue is carboxyl-methylated and S-alkylated, probably with a farnesyl residue (Davey, 1992): Tyr-Thr-Pro-Lys-Val-Pro-Tyr-Met-Cys(S-farnesyl)-OCH3. Here we describe the chemical synthesis of this modified peptide and show that it exhibits all of the properties of the native pheromone. These results confirm the structure of the M-factor while the production of relatively large amounts of pure pheromone will be invaluable for studying the mating response in this yeast.

    Notizen: Sequence analysis of a 4·6-kb HindIII fragment containing the malic enzyme gene (mae2) of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, revealed the presence of an open reading frame of 1695 nucleotides, coding for a 565 amino acid polypeptide. The mae2 gene is expressed constitutively and encodes a single mRNA transcript of 2·0 kb. The mae2 gene was mapped on chromosome III by chromoblotting. The coding region and inferred amino acid sequence showed significant homology with 12 malic enzyme genes and proteins from widely different origins. Eight highly homologous regions were found in these malic enzymes, suggesting that they contain functionally conserved amino acid sequences that are indispensable for activity of malic enzymes. Two of these regions have previously been reported to be NAD- and NADP-binding sites.

    Notizen: This paper reports the DNA sequence and analysis of an 11·7 kb segment localized on the right arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome II. This fragment contains one incomplete and five long and non-overlapping open reading frames (ORFs) designated from centromere to telomere-proximal side as: YBR1406, 1409, 1410, 1411, 1412 and 1413. YBR1406 corresponds to the 5′ end to PGI1 encoding phosphoglucoisomerase. YBR1410 encodes a polypeptide of 798 amino acids whose C terminus contains five repeats (WD-40 repeat) similar to those found in the β-subunits of G proteins and different yeast proteins such as Tup1, Prp4 and Cdc4. The higher similarity score is obtained with dTAFII80, a component of the RNA polymerase II transcriptional complex TFIID. YBR1411 encodes a polypeptide of 464 amino acids which belongs to the family of α-mannosyltransferases: KRE2/MNT1, KTR1, KTR2, YUR1 and the product of previously sequenced ORF YBR1445. YBR1412 corresponds to BEM1. The two ORFs, YBR1409 and YBR1413, which do not exhibit significant similarity with any known coding sequences, define new genes. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL Data Library under Accession Number Z21487.

    Notizen: We searched for fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) proteins that preferentially bind to a synthetic curved DNA sequence, by means of a DNA-binding gel shift assay in the presence of an excess amount of a non-curved DNA sequence as a competitor. We identified such a protein in S. pombe. The protein, thus purified, has an apparent molecular weight of 42 000, as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It was suggested that this protein (42 K-protein) recognizes and binds to a curved DNA structure in a given nucleotide sequence, although it also binds to a non-curved DNA sequence with lower affinity. As its putative coding sequence, a 1·9-kilobase genomic DNA from S. pombe was cloned and sequenced. Sequencing of a cDNA clone also revealed the existence of an open reading frame, with no intron, encoding a 381-amino-acid protein with a calculated molecular mass, 41 597. This protein appears to be located in the nucleus. The predicted protein sequence revealed that the 42 K-protein exhibits no significant similarity to any other known proteins, except to a hypothetical protein of Caenorhabditis elegans.

    Notizen: We report here the cloning and sequencing of the gene encoding arginase (car1) from Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Since no arginase-less strain exists in this organism, we cloned the gene by functional complementation of a car1 mutant strain from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The S. pombe car1 gene encodes a 323 amino acids polypeptide sharing identity with arginases from different organisms. Measurements of arg3, arg11 and car1 mRNA under different growth conditions confirm the very weak repression by arginine of the two anabolic genes and show that the induction of arginase synthesis operates at a transcriptional level. The promoter of S. pombe car1 gene does not contain the ‘arginine boxes’ defined as the target of the ARGR-MCM1 proteins in the promoters of the arginine co-regulated genes in S. cerevisiae. The heterologous expression of S. pombe car1 gene in S. cerevisiae is independent of the ARGRII gene product (ArgRIIp/Arg81p). Determination of arginine, ornithine and citrulline intracellular concentrations shows the efficiency of the different controls operating in S. cerevisiae, and also indicates that in S. pombe enzyme compartmentation is not always sufficient to control the arginine metabolic flux.

    Notizen: Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains at least four PRS genes, all of which have been cloned and sequenced. Each of the four derived amino acid sequences have more than 60% similarity to the corresponding polypeptides of man, rat, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. The PRS1 gene maps on chromosome XI, PRS2 on chromosome V, PRS3 on chromosome VIII and PRS4 on chromosome II. One member of this gene family, PRS1, contains a region of non-homology (NHR) shown by cDNA cloning and sequencing not to be an intron. The results presented here suggest that the presence of this NHR is not detrimental to the function of the gene. To date the possibility of protein splicing can be neither proven nor disputed. The sequences submitted to the EMBL data library are available under the following accession numbers: PRS1 (X70069), PRS2 (X74414) and PRS3 (X74415).

    Notizen: The sequence of the poliovirus genome encoding 3CD (a protease) was transferred to the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae on expression vectors with either a constitutive or an inducible promoter. Transformants could only be obtained with vectors carrying the inducible transcription unit. Extracts of induced cells were able to cleave cell-free synthesized P1, the precursor of the poliovirus capsid proteins, into VP0, VP3 and VP1.In yeast cells constitutively expressing P1, induction of 3CD expression resulted in only trace amounts of processed products. Processing could be improved considerably by simultaneous induction of both P1 and 3CD expression. Analysis of extracts of such induced cells revealed the presence of particles that resembled authentic subviral particles.

    Notizen: In the framework of the European yeast genome sequencing project, we have determined the nucleotide sequence of the cosmid clone 233 provided by F. Galibert (Rennes Cedex, France). We present here 9464 base pairs of this cosmid located on the left arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome X. This sequence contains two new open reading frames and includes the published sequences of the RADH gene (also identified as SRS2/HPR5) and the 3′-end of the gene BCK1/SLK1/SSP31. Deletion mutants of the two unknown genes J0909 and J0911 are viable. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under accession number X77087.

    Notizen: There is accumulating evidence for a large, highly conserved gene family of putative ATPases. We have identified 12 different members of this novel gene family (the YTA family) in yeast and determined the nucleotide sequences of nine of these genes. All of the putative gene products are characterized by the presence of a highly conserved domain of 300 amino acids containing specialized forms of the A and B boxes of ATPases. YTA1, YTA2, YTA3 and YTA5 exhibit significant similarity to proteins involved in human immunodeficiency virus Tat-mediated gene expression but more significantly to subunits of the human 26S proteasome. YTA1 and YTA2 are essential genes in yeast. Remarkably, the cDNA of human TBP-1 can compensate for the loss of YTA1. Preliminary experiments indicate that YTA1 is a component of the 26S protease complex from yeast. Our findings lead us to propose that YTA1, YTA2, YTA3 and YTA5 function as regulatory subunits of the yeast 26S proteasome. YTA10, YTA11 and YTA12 share significant homology with the Escherichia coli FtsH protein, and together with YTA4 and YTA6 may constitute a separate subclass within this family of putative ATPases.

    Notizen: The ability of Candida parapsilosis to grow in the presence of high levels of ethidium bromide (EB) has been explored to study the effects of this intercalating dye on DNA in vivo. By employing confocal microscopy we have determined that EB penetrates the cellular membranes and binds rapidly to the nucleolus, whereas mitochondrial DNA becomes stained after a longer exposure to this dye. No detectable staining of the nucleus has been detected under these conditions.Electrophoretic studies of both undigested and restricted DNAs confirm that the nuclear DNA is unaffected by high levels of EB, with the exception of the rDNA-bearing chromosome that undergoes significant structural alterations in the presence of EB. Moreover, the hybridization signal with the rDNA probe is proportionally reduced in samples obtained from cultures grown in the presence of EB, suggesting that the average copy number of rRNA genes in these cultures may be affected.In striking contrast to other fungal species, the linear organelle genome in C. parapsilosis retains its structural and functional integrity in the presence of high concentrations of EB.

    Notizen: In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expression of a gene adjacent to the retrotransposon Ty1 is often mediated by Ty-internal sequences. We have identified novel mutants, tye7, which are affected in Ty1-mediated expression of ADH2 through a Ty1 sequence distal to the 5′ long terminal repeat sequence. The TYE7 gene has been isolated and characterized. It encodes a 33 kDa protein whose N-terminal third is extremely rich in serine residues (28%). Within its C-terminal sequence, a remarkable similarity to Myc and Max proteins can be found. Thus, TYE7 is a potential member of the basic region/helix-loop-helix/leucine-zipper protein family. TYE7 function is not essential for growth. It may primarily function as a transcriptional activator in Ty1-mediated gene expression, as has been confirmed by the activation of reporter gene expression by a LexA-TYE7 hybrid protein. ADH2 activation by defined Ty1 derivatives revealed that TYE7 acts positively through the more distal Ty1 enhancer element (region D), and negatively in a region between A (the 5′ proximal enhancer element) and D.

    Notizen: We describe a rapid, sensitive and semi-quantitative plate assay for monitoring pheromone activity in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. It is based on the observation that meiosis requires stimulation by pheromone and exploits diploid strains that will only sporulate after addition of exogenous pheromone. The tester strains are heterozygous for mating type, are non-switching, and are mutated in one of the early subfunctions (either mat1-Mc or mat1-Pc), so that meiosis is only induced after exposure to exogenous pheromone (M-factor or P-factor, respectively). Pheromone activity is assessed as an iodine-positive halo of sporulation surrounding the pheromone source, and the width of the halo is related to the amount of pheromone being produced. The assay is sufficiently sensitive to monitor the low amount of M-factor produced by an M mam1 strain, and its sensitivity towards P-factor is greatly increased by using a hyper-sensitive tester strain lacking the Sxa2 protease that is believed to degrade this pheromone. We also demonstrate that the production of P-factor is very much stimulated by exposure of P cells to M-factor.

    Notizen: In the framework of the EC programme for sequencing yeast chromosome II, we have determined the nucleotide sequence of a 70 kb region. Subsequent analysis revealed 35 open reading frames, 14 of which correspond to known yeast genes. From structural parameters and/or similarity searches with entries in the current data libraries, a preliminary functional assessment of several of the putative novel gene products can be made. The gene density in this region amounts to one gene in 1.98 kb. Coding regions occupy 75% of the total DNA sequence. Within the intergenic regions, potential regulatory elements can be predicted. The data obtained here may serve as a basis for a more detailed biochemical analysis of the novel genes. The complete nucleotide sequence of the 70 kb segment as depicted in Figure 1 has been deposited in the EMBL data library under Accession Number X78993.

    Notizen: Lipid particles of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, were isolated to high purity and their components were analysed. The hydrophobic core of this organelle consists of triacylglycerols and steryl esters, which are almost exclusively located to that compartment. Lipid particles are stabilized by a surface membrane consisting of phospholipids and proteins. Electron microscopy confirmed the purity of the preparations and the proposed structure deduced from biochemical experiments. Major proteins of lipid particles have molecular weights of 72, 52, 43 and 34 kDa, respectively. The 43 kDa protein reacts with an antiserum against human apolipoprotein AII. In lipid particles of the yeast mutant strain S. cerevisiae erg6, which is deficient in sterol Δ24-methyltransferase, this protein is missing thereby identifying the protein and confirming our previous finding (Zinser et al., 1993) that sterol Δ24-methylation is associated with lipid particles. A possible involvement of surface proteins of lipid particles in the interaction with other organelles is discussed with respect to sterol translocation in yeast.

Deletion mutants of two earlier unknown open reading frames J0840 and J0904 are viable and the open reading frame J0902 is essential for yeast growth.

We have cloned this gene by complementation of the rev7-2 mutant defect, and determined its sequence. REV7 encodes a predicted protein of Mr 28 759 which is unlike any other protein in the NCBI non-redundant protein sequence data base, and which is inessential for viability. The sequence of the 3·88 kb yeast genomic fragment containing REV7 has been deposited in Genbank accession number U07228.

    Notizen: We report the nucleotide sequence of a 17·4 kb DNA segment from the left arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome II. This sequence contains 12 open reading frames (ORFs) longer than 300 bp and a putative autonomously replicating sequence (ARS). The ORF YBL0418 contains the KH motif present in several nucleic acid-binding proteins and shares homologies with the mouse X protein of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleo-protein (hnRNP) complexes involved in pre-mRNA processing. YBL0424 is the yeast member of the ribosomal protein L19 (YL14) family. YBL0425 is related to the D1 core polypeptide of the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) particles involved in the splicing of introns. YBL0437 is a putative homologue of the human protein p120, one of the major antigens associated with malignant tumours. Mcm2, a protein important for ARS activity, as well as Aac2, one of the three isoforms of the mitochondrial ATP/ADP carrier, were previously described (Yan et al., 1991; Lawson and Douglas, 1988). Four ORFs show no homology or particular features that could help to assess their functions. The last ORFs are not likely to be expressed for they are localized on the complementary strand of longer ORFs. The sequence has been submitted to the EMBL data library under Accession Number X77291.

    Notizen: We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of a 29·7 kb segment from the right arm of chromosome II carried by the cosmid α61. The sequence encodes the 3′ region of the IRA1 gene and 13 complete open reading frames, of which ten correspond to new genes and three (CIF1, ATPsv and CKS1) have been sequenced previously. The density of protein coding sequences is particularly high and corresponds to 84% of the total length. Two new genes encode membrane proteins, one of which is particularly large, 273 kDa. In one case (ATPsv), the comparison of our sequence and the published sequence reveals significant differences. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under the Accession Number X75891.

    Notizen: The sequence of a 32 420 bp segment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome II has been deduced. The sequence data revealed 19 potential new genes covering 83·5% of the sequence. Four genes had already been cloned and sequenced: part of RIF1, DPB3, MRP-L27 and SNF5. Besides these four genes, 15 open reading frames (ORFs) of at least 100 amino acids encoding potential new genes were identified. Two of these ORFs are overlapping and a third is located within another ORF.The putative gene product of ORF YBR2039 was homologous to the group of uncoupling proteins involved in the mitochondrial energy transfer system. We propose a remapping of the MRP-L27 gene encoding the mitoribosomal protein YmL27 as it previously has been mapped on chromosome X. The ORF YBR2020 has a strong homology with a 31·9% identity in a 473 amino acid region to the yeast gene SEC61, suggesting that YBR2020 is a new gene encoding a protein involved in translocation of proteins in the yeast cell. Six of the potential genes do not exhibit any significant homology to previously sequenced genes as predicted in the Fast A analysis. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under Accession Number X76053.

    Notizen: We report the sequence of a 12 kilobase region spanning the centromere of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome II. The sequence from the left arm includes genes for histones H2A and H2B. The sequence from the right arm includes a gene that probably encodes a novel trehalase, as well as the COQ1 gene (for an enzyme involved in coenzyme Q biosynthesis), and an open reading reading frame with significant similarity to bacterial genes of unknown function. The trehalase gene (YBR0106) on chromosome II is located beside the centromere and transcribed towards it. This is identical to the arrangement of the neutral trehalase gene (NTH1) beside the centromere of chromosome IV. The centromere regions of chromosomes II and IV may therefore have arisen through a duplication of the centromere region of an ancestral chromosome. The YBR0106 and NTH1 proteins are 77% identical in predicted amino acid sequence, but there is no pronounced sequence similarity between the two centromeres (CEN2 and CEN4) outside of the universally conserved CDE I and CDE III elements. The genes flanking the centromere and trehalase genes differ between the two chromosomes, so the similarity between chromosomes II and IV may be less extensive than that recently reported between chromosomes III and XIV. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under Accession Number Z26494.

    Notizen: We report here the sequence of a 33,117 bp DNA fragment located approximately 30 kb from the centromere on the right arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome II. We have detected 16 open reading frames (ORFs) longer than 450 bp, provisionally called YBR0301 to YBR0322, covering 70·4% of the entire sequence. The ORFs YBR0301, YBR0302, YBR0303, YBR0305 and YBR0315 correspond to previously sequenced S. cerevisiae genes GAL10, GAL1, FUR4, CAL1 and L2B, respectively. Translation products of two other ORFs, YBR0308 and YBR0312 exhibit similarity to previously known S. cerevisiae proteins: the mitochondrially associated protein SCO1 and the protein kinase YKR2. The predicted protein product of the ORF YBR0321 shows a 41·6% identity score with the Escherichia coli pyroxamine 5′-phosphate oxidase. The nine other ORFs show no significant homology to known proteins. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under Accession Number X76078.

    Notizen: We have tested the clones used in the European Yeast Chromosome III Sequencing Programme for possible artefacts that might have been introduced during cloning or passage through Escherichia coli. Southern analysis was performed to compare the BamHI, EcoRI, HindIII and PstI restriction pattern for each clone with that of the corresponding locus on chromosome III in the parental yeast strain. In addition, further enzymes were used to compare the restriction maps of most clones with the map predicted by the nucleotide sequence (Oliver et al., 1992). Only four of 506 6-bp restriction sites predicted by the sequence were not observed experimentally. No significant cloning artefacts appear to disrupt the published sequence of chromosome III. The restriction patterns of six yeast strains have also been compared. In addition to two previously identified sites of Ty integration on chromosome III (Warmington et al., 1986; Stucka et al., 1989; Newlon et al., 1991), a new polymorphic site involving Ty retrotransposition (the Far Right-Arm transposition Hot-Spot, FRAHS) has been identified close to CRY1. On the basis of simple restriction polymorphisms, the strains S288C, AB972 and W303-1b are closely related, while XJ24-24a and J178 are more distant relatives of S288C. A polyploid distillery yeast is heterozygous for many polymorphisms, particularly on the right arm of the chromosome.

    Notizen: Rearrangements within plasmid DNA are commonly observed during transformation of eukaryotic cells. One possible cause of rearrangements may be recombination between repeated sequences induced by some lesions in the plasmid. We have examined the mechanisms of transformation-associated recombination in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a plasmid system which allowed the effects of physical state and/or extent of homology on recombination to be studied. The plasmids contain homologous or diverged (19%) repeats of the URA3 genes (from S. cerevisiae or S. carlsbergensis) separated by the genetically detectable ADE2 colour marker. Recombination during transformation for covalently closed circular plasmids was over 100-fold more frequent than during mitotic growth. The frequency of recombination is partly dependent on the method of transformation in that procedures involving lithium acetate or spheroplasting yield higher frequencies than electroporation. When present in the repeats, unique single-strand breaks that are ligatable, as well as double-strand breaks, lead to high levels of recombination between diverged and identical repeats. The transformation-associated recombination between repeat DNAs is under the influence of the RAD52 and RAD1 genes.

    Notizen: The above paper (Yeast 9:, 289-293, 1993) erroneously presented a non-updated sequence due to data-transmission errors. The corrected sequence is 4939 bp in length and has been deposited in the EMBL Data Library under the accession number X71329. Consequently the amino acid sequences of YBR 12.03 and YBR 12.05 changed.

    Notizen: We have isolated two yeast genes, KIN1 and KIN2, by their homology to the protein kinase family of viral oncogenes. Previous studies have identified the yeast KIN1 gene product (pp145KIN1) as a 145 kilodalton (kDa) phosphoprotein with serine/threonine-specific protein kinase activity. To identify and biochemically characterize the KIN2 gene product, antibodies were raised against a bacterial β-galactosidase/KIN2 fusion polypeptide. In vivo, the KIN2 gene product is a 145 kDa phosphoprotein, pp145KIN2. In immune complexes, pp145KIN2 demonstrates serine/threonine protein kinase activity, transferring phosphate from [γ-32P]ATP to either itself or the exogenously added substrates α-casein, acid-denatured enolase, or phosvitin. In vitro, kinase activity is dependent on either Mn2+ or Mg2+ ions. Both enzymes, pp145KIN1 and pp145KIN2, prefer ATP over GTP as their phosphoryl donor. Since a new class of yeast protein kinases has been identified which are serine/tyrosine-specific, we analysed a wide range of substrates to see if any could be phosphorylated by pp145KIN1 or pp145KIN2 on tyrosine residues. Both enzymes phosphorylate α-casein, acid-denatured enolase, and phosvitin on serine and threonine residues. Neither enzyme could phosphorylate tyrosine residues even though good substrates for tyrosine-specific kinases such as enolase, angiotensin II, and the synthetic polymer GLU80TYR20 were used. The biochemical analysis of KIN2 kinase activity shows remarkable similarity to that of its most closely related yeast kinase, KIN1. It remains to be seen if these two yeast protein kinases share any functional relationships or substrates in vivo.

    Notizen: We report the development of a homologous in vitro assay system for analysing translocation of proteins across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Our protocol for preparing an S. pombe extract capable of translating natural messenger RNAs was modified from a procedure previously used for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which cells are lysed in a bead-beater. However, we were unable to prepare fission yeast microsomes active in protein translocation using existing budding yeast protocols. Instead, our most efficient preparations were isolated by fractionating spheroplasts, followed by extensive washing and size exclusion chromatography of the crude membranes. Translocation of two ER-targeted proteins, pre-acid phosphatase from S. pombe and prepro-α-factor from S. cerevisiae, was monitored using two distinct assays. First, evidence that a fraction of both proteins was sequestered within membrane-enclosed vesicles was provided by resistance to exogenously added protease. Second, the protected fraction of each protein was converted to a higher molecular weight, glycosylated form; attachment of carbohydrate to the translocated proteins was confirmed by their ability to bind Concanavalin A-Sepharose. Finally, we examined whether proteins could be translocated across fission yeast microsomal membranes after their synthesis was complete. Our results indicate that S. cerevisiae prepro-α-factor can be post-translationally imported into the fission yeast ER, while S. pombe pre-acid phosphatase crosses the membrane only by a co-translational mechanism.

    Notizen: The DNA sequence of the flocculation gene FLO1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is located on chromosome I (Watari et al., 1989) was determined. The sequence contains a large open reading frame (ORF) of 2586 bp and codes for a protein of 862 amino acids. However, further study (genomic Southern and polymerase chain reaction analyses) indicated that the gene we cloned was not the intact FLO1 gene but a form with an approximately 2 kb deletion in the ORF region. The intact FLO1 gene was then cloned and its nucleotide sequence determined. The sequence revealed that the ORF of the intact gene is composed of 4611 bp which code for a protein of 1537 amino acids. A remarkable feature of the putative Flo1 protein is that it contains four families of repeated sequences composed of 18, 2, 3 and 3 repeats and that it has a large number of serines and threonines. In the deleted FLO1 form, a large part of these repeated sequences was missing. The N- and C-terminal regions are hydrophobic and both contain a potential membrane-spanning region, suggesting that the Flo1 protein is an integral membrane protein and a cell wall component.

    Notizen: Luminal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins carry a sorting signal that allows them to be retrieved from the Golgi apparatus by a specific receptor. In yeast, this receptor is encoded by the ERD2 gene. Although retrieval of ER proteins does not appear to be an essential process, cells lacking ERD2 do not grow. Several multicopy suppressors of this growth defect have been isolated. The sequence of one of these, SED6, is presented here. Its product contains motifs characteristic of methyltransferases, and it is identical to ERG6, the presumed structural gene for S-adenosylmethionine:Δ24-sterol-C-methyltransferase. The gene is located adjacent to PDR4, near the centromere of chromosome XIII.

    Notizen: Using the anticoagulant, hirudin, from the leech Hirudo medicinalis as a secreted reporter protein, the influence of physiological parameters on activity and regulation of the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) metallothionein (CUP1) promoter was studied. Induction of CUP1-directed hirudin expression from 2μ-based vectors was possible at any time point during diauxic batch growth, even in cells approaching stationary phase. The highest titers of hirudin were obtained when the CUP1 promoter was activated immediately following inoculation of the cultures. If such a pseudo-constitutive fermentation strategy was adopted, the promoter was superior to an optimized variant (GAPFL) of the strong, constitutive GAPDH promoter. This superiority was primarily due to the relative independence of CUP1 promoter activity of the physiological status of host cells: whilst the maximal strength of the CUP1 and GAPFL promoters was comparable, CUP1-directed hirudin expression was high in all phases of diauxic batch growth, whereas hirudin production from the GAPFL promoter declined in post-diauxic cultures. High activity of the CUP1 promoter was observed on both a fermentable (glucose) and a non-fermentable (ethanol) carbon source. Hirudin expression could be adjusted to different levels by varying the amount of inducer (cupric sulphate) added to cultures. The copper concentrations required for maximal promoter induction had no negative effects on host growth and interfered with neither hirudin secretion nor with the biological activity of the peptide. Overexpression of the transcriptional activator, ACE1, resulted in increased levels of hirudin mRNA. Hirudin titers increased in parallel to mRNA concentrations in cultures grown in the presence of low concentrations of copper. In contrast, at high copper doses, elevated levels of the ACE1 protein resulted in inferior hirudin production. Cells overexpressing ACE1 while harbouring a CUP1-drived hirudin expression cassette showed slow growth and poor plasmid maintenance. It was tested whether this might be the result of a block in the secretory pathway; however, measurements of intracellular hirudin did not support this hypothesis. The data rather indicated that hirudin production was limited by a metabolic constraint downstream of transcription but upstream of the secretory pathway.

    Notizen: We have used four glycoproteins as markers to study how disulfide bond formation and protein folding effect the intracellular transport of proteins in yeast. Under normal conditions, the vacuolar enzyme carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) and the secretory stress-protein hsp150 acquired disulfide bonds in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Treatment of living cells with the reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT) prevented disulfide formation of newly synthesized CPY and hsp150, resulting in retention of the proteins in the ER. When DTT was removed, the sulfhydryls were reoxidized, and the transport of the proteins to their correct destinations was resumed. Even mature CPY, located in the vacuole, could be reduced with DTT, and reoxidized after removal of the drug. DTT treatment blocked intracellular transport of hsp150 only when present during the synthesis and translocation of the protein. Reduction of folded hsp150, accumulated in the ER due to a sec block prior to DTT treatment, did not inhibit its secretion. The Kar2p/BiP protein, a component of the ER lumen, was found to be associated with fully translocated reduced hsp150, but not with native hsp150, suggesting that Kar2p/BiP may be involved in the putative retention mechanism. The cysteine-free pro-α-factor, and invertase which was shown to have free sulfhydryls, were secreted and modified similarly in the presence and absence of DTT, showing that the secretory pathway of yeast functioned under reducing conditions.

    Notizen: The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in some yeasts has a linear structure with inverted terminal repeats closed by a single-stranded loop. These mtDNAs have generally a constant gene order, beginning with a small ribosomal RNA gene at the right end and terminating with a cytochrome oxidase subunit 2 gene (COX2) at the left end, independently of the wide variation in genome size. In the mtDNAs from several species of the genus Williopsis, we found an additional open reading frame, ORF1, which was homologous to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae RF1 gene encoding a group I intron maturase-like protein. ORF1 genes from W. mrakii and W. suaveolens were mapped and sequenced. Next to ORF1, COX2 and methionyl tRNA genes were present on the opposite strand. The same relative positions of genes in the mtDNAs so far examined suggests that the constancy of gene order is generally conserved also at the level of individual tRNA genes. We identified another open reading frame, ORF2, in W. mrakii mtDNA. It was mapped next to the cytochrome oxidase subunit 3 gene. Rich in adenine-thymine bases, ORF2 appears to be a homologue of the VAR1 gene which codes for a small ribosomal subunit protein in S. cerevisiae mitochondria. Nucleotide sequences data have been deposited in the EmBL data library under the following Accession Numbers: X66594 (Apocytochrome b and ORF2 genes of W. mrakii), X66595 (ORF1, tRNA-Met and COX2 genes of W. mrakii), X73415 (tRNA-Met and COX2 genes of W. suaveolens), X73416 (ORF1 gene of W. suaveolens) and X73414 (tRNA-Met and COX2 genes of P. jadinii).

    Notizen: We describe six new yeast episomal vectors which encode glutathione S-transferase (GST) affinity tags. These allow for the production of GST-fusion proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the control of the CUP1 promoter. Affinity chromatography with glutathione-Sepharose permits convenient purification of the fusion protein from a yeast lysate. The presence of a protease cleavage site facilitates subsequent removal of the GST tag. The expression and single-step purification of both GST and a functional GST-metallothionein fusion from yeast are shown as an example of the application of these vectors.

    Notizen: The strictly aerobic yeasts Candida pinus, Cryptococcus albidus, Rhodotorula minuta, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Trichosporon beigelii possess mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenases with significant features of the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I). These species show in all growth phases and under standard cultivation conditions, NADH dehydrogenases of approximately 700 kDa, which are sensitive to rotenone, a specific inhibitor of this complex. Identical results were obtained with the weakly fermenting C. pinus. The facultatively fermenting yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces marxianus do not possess the 700 kDa-complex and are insensitive to rotenone. In S. cerevisiae, a rotenone-insensitive NADH dehydrogenase of about 500-600 kDa is detected only in stationary phase cells.As in Neurospora crassa, upon incubation of the obligately aerobic yeast R. mucilaginosa with chloramphenicol, an intermediate NADH dehydrogenase of approximately 350 kDa was formed, which was insensitive to rotenone.

The nucleotide sequence of the isolated DNA fragment contains an open reading frame of 363 codons, coding for a protein 80% identical to the LEU2 gene product of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Further downstream, there is a partial reading frame with no obvious similarity to known proteins. The LEU2 gene of H. polymorpha cannot complement the leu2 mutation of S. cerevisiae. The sequence has been entered in the EMBL data library under the Accession Number U00889.

    Notizen: A clone encoding the catalytic subunit of a protein phosphatase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was isolated. Except for replacement of IIe-245 by Met the structure of the phosphatase was identical to that encoded by PPH3 (Ronne, H., Carlberg, M., Hu, G. Z. and Nehlin, J. O. (1991). Mol. Cell. Biochem. 11, 4876-4884) and exhibited 63% sequence identity to PPX cloned from a rabbit liver cDNA library (Brewis, N. D., Street, A. J., Prescott, A. R. and Cohen, P. T. W. (1993). EMBO J. 12, 987-996). Expression of active enzyme was achieved in Escherichia coli mutants which were generated by a genetic selection based on functional complementation of bacterial phosphoserine phosphatase. Though some of the properties of PPH3 resembled those of protein phosphatase 2A and PPX, others were different. PPH3 exhibited lower sensitivity against inhibition by okadaic acid, showed different substrate specificity and required a divalent cation (Mn2+ was preferred before Mg2+ and Ca2+) for activity when assayed with phospho-histone as a substrate. However, 25% of maximum activity was observed in the absence of divalent cations when the peptide LRRAS(P)LG was used as substrate. The PPH3-protein was also identified by chromatography of extracts from S. cerevisiae on DEAE-cellulose. Protein immunoreactive with an antiserum raised against the non-conserved N-terminal 53 amino acids of PPH3 was coeluted with a single peak of LRRAS(P)LG dephosphorylating activity.

    Notizen: A new molecular taxonomic method applicable to the identification of medically important Candida species and other yeast species has been developed. It is based on the electrophoretic pattern of total tRNA samples (a ‘tRNA profile’) isolated from Candida species and generated using high-resolution semi-denaturing urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and methylene blue staining. Species-specific tRNA profiles for the species. C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. guilliermondii, C. glabrata and Pichia guilliermondii were obtained. Detailed studies with the major human pathogen of the Candida genus, C. albicans, demonstrated that the tRNA profile for a given species was both reproducible and strain-independent; seven different C. albicans strains generated identical tRNA profiles. Minor strain-specific heterogeneities in the tRNA profiles of C. guilliermondii and C. parapsilosis were detected, but in neither case did they significantly alter the species-specific diagnostic tRNA profile. The potential of this method in clarifying taxonomic anomalies was demonstrated by the finding that Type I and Type II strains of C. stellatoidea generate very different tRNA profiles, with that of a Type II strain being identical to the C. albicans tRNA profile. This method offers a number of advantages over current electrophoretic karyotype methods for species identification, both within the Candida genus and with yeast species in general.

    Notizen: Yeast exo-1,3-β-glucanases are secretable proteins whose function is basically trophic and may also be involved in cell wall glucan hydrolytic processes. Since fluorescein di(β-D-glucopyranoside) is a fluorogenic substrate detectable and quantifiable by flow cytometry, it was used for testing the ability of the EXG1 gene product of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its homologous gene in Candida albicans to function as reporter genes. These open reading frames were coupled to different promoters in multicopy plasmids, and exoglucanase activity quantified at flow cytometry. Exoglucanases were found to be useful tools for the study of promoter regions in S. cerevisiae. This technique has the advantage over other reporter gene systems - such as β-galactosidase fusions - that it does not require permeabilization of yeast cells and therefore it allows the recovery of viable cells - by sorting - after flow cytometry analysis.

    Notizen: The sequence of the Candida albicans inositol biosynthetic gene, CaINO1, and its flanking regions is determined in this study. The largest open reading frame has a coding sequence of 1560 base pairs, corresponding to a predicted protein of 521 amino acids. Three primary transcriptional start sites are found 64, 57 and 52 base pairs upstream of the ATG translational start site at position 1374. Five stop codons exist in a cluster at the end of the coding region. Within the upstream region TATA and CAAT eukaryotic regulatory sequences are identified along with regions corresponding to a 10 base pair inositol/choline responsive element consensus sequence. Computer analysis of the DNA sequence shows strong homology to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae INO1 gene. A comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of the C. albicans INO1 gene product, inositol-1-phosphate synthase, with its homolog in S. cerevisiae shows 64% identity and 77% similarity. The differences between the two proteins are most prominent in the N-terminal regions. The sequence has been deposited in the GenBank/EMBL data library under Accession Number L22737.

    Notizen: Mating was studied in the haploid, heterothallic yeast Clavispora opuntiae to assess the importance of nutritional, genetic, and other factors that may favour mating and recombination. Local populations of this yeast generally exhibit dramatic inequalities in mating type distributions, suggesting that mating is rare in nature even though most isolates mate freely in the laboratory. The absence of assimilable nitrogen is prerequisite to mating competence, presumably by causing G1 arrest. Maximum mating competence is found in cells entering stationary phase in nitrogen-limited media. Unlike the vast majority of mating yeasts, C. opuntiae does not appear to produce diffusible mating factors (sex pheromones), and mating-competent cells do not undergo sexual agglutination. Pairwise cell contact appears to be the only signal that triggers the sexual process in this case. In order to determine if mating type imbalances in nature are caused by reduced fertility of ‘consanguine’ crosses, meiotic recombination was measured in pairs of strains that varied in their genetic distances as indicated by restriction mapping. That hypothesis was rejected, as recombination efficiency decreased with increasing genetic distance. We conclude that the rarity of mating in local populations is exacerbated by the stringent physical (pairwise cell contact) and nutritional (nitrogen depletion) conditions that will allow mating to proceed. Parallels are drawn with mating patterns observed in Clavispora lusitaniae.

    Notizen: The nucleotide sequencing of 8887 bp of the left arm of chromsome XIV is described. The sequence includes the centromeric region. Both strands were sequenced with an average redundancy of 5·09 per base pair. The overall G+C content is 37·3% (39·2% for putative coding regions versus 32·5% for non-coding regions). Six open reading frames (ORFs) greater than 100 amino acids were detected, all of which are completely confined to the 8·9 kbp region. Codon frequencies of the six ORFs agree with codon usage in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and all show the characteristics of low-level expressed genes. Comparison of the translated sequences with protein sequences in data bases suggests the presence of two ORFs (N2014 and N2007) encoding ribosomal proteins, the latter of which is the previously sequenced MRP7 gene. Another ORF (N2012) could encode a membrane-associated protein since it contains secretory signal sequence and two presumed transmembrane helices. This protein might be involved in mitochondrial energy transfer. ORF N2016 is immediately adjacent to the centromere, suggesting that it corresponds to the SPO1 gene, which is very tightly linked to the centromere at the left arm side of chromosome XIV (Mortimer et al., 1989). The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL, GenBank and DDBJ Nucleotide Sequence Databases under the Accession Number X77114.

    Notizen: PXP-18 is a 14-kDa major peroxisomal protein of the yeast Candida tropicalis and a homologue of the non-specific lipid-transfer protein (nsLTP) of mammals. Mammalian nsLTP is thought to facilitate the contact of membranes, to stimulate lipid-transfer between them. If PXP-18 functions like nsLTP, it must be present on organelle membranes. Immunoelectron microscopy of C. tropicalis cells indicated that gold particles, which visualized PXP-18, localized exclusively in the matrix of peroxisomes. Subcellular fractionation followed by Western blotting revealed the association of PXP-18 with peroxisomes in C. tropicalis cells. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that almost all the PXP-18 associated with peroxisomes was detectable after the solubilization of the organelle but not before, implying the predominance of PXP-18 inside peroxisomes. This differential assay was applied to the intracellular import of the intact and truncated PXP-18s expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. Most of the intact PXP-18 was shown to be imported into the matrix of host-cell peroxisomes, whereas the truncated PXP-18, which lacked the C-terminal tripeptide Pro-Lys-Leu, no longer targeted peroxisomes. These results are consistent with the view that PXP-18 is the matrix protein of peroxisomes and must function in a system other than that of lipid transfer.

    Notizen: The DNA sequence of a 2967 bp fragment located near the centromere of chromosome II, between the CEN2 and FUR4 genes, was determined. The segment contains a new open reading frame of 1794 bp. The product encoded by the gene, designated TTP1, is a predicted type II membrane protein of 597 amino acid residues with a short cytoplasmic NH2-terminus, a membrane-spanning region and a large COOH-terminal region containing three potential N-glycosylation sites. Gene disruption indicated that TTP1 is not essential for cell growth. The sequence has been deposited in the GenBank data library under Accession Number U05211.

    Notizen: We have isolated a gene whose expression enables yeast cells to overcome the inhibition of growth produced by the presence of 2-deoxyglucose. The gene contains an open reading frame of 738 bp that may code for a protein of 27 100 Da. Cells carrying this gene contain high levels of a specific 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate phosphatase. The expression of this phosphatase is increased by the presence of 2-deoxyglucose and is constant along the growth curve. The sequence reported here has the GenBank accession number U03107.

    Notizen: We have sequenced a gene on the right arm near the telomere of chromosome II of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which codes for a putative P-type cation-transporting ATPase (PCA1). The gene codes for a 1216 amino acids protein. The PCA1 gene expresses a 3·5 kb message in both haploid and diploid cells when grown in glucose-based rich medium YPD. The gene product is most similar at the C-terminal region to a human copper-transporting ATPase and Enterococcus hirae copper-transporting ATPases and also an N-terminal dithiol region that was proposed to be a ‘metal-binding motif’. Cells lacking PCA1 display no obvious phenotype when tested under standard conditions; whereas they cease growth much earlier than the isogenic wild-type cells in a minimal medium with high copper concentration. Overexpression of PCA1 under GAL1/10 promoter in yeast cells causes poor growth. We also show that yeast strains carrying PCA1 in multiple copies grow slower than isogenic wild-type strains in a minimal synthetic medium containing 0·3 mM-CuSO4. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under Accession Number Z29332.

    Thema: Biologie
    Notizen: We have studied the phenomenon of infertility of yeast hybrids obtained with physiological conditions under the control of compatible mating systems. The yeasts investigated are three Saccharomyces species: S. cerevisiae, S. uvarum and a new species, S. douglasii. The diploid hybrids from crosses between these species sporulate well but are essentially infertile. The rare viable spores, one per 104 to 105 asci, that have been examined carry a complete genome comprised of chromosomes contributed by both parents but invariably have extra chromosomes, i.e. they are generally disomic for at least two or three chromosomes. This observation is consistent with a failure, in meiosis I, of the pairing and disjunction of homologous chromosomes which in most cases results in spores with an incomplete set of chromosomes. This apparent lack of pairing of ‘homeologous’ chromosomes in meiosis I was analysed in most detail with S. cerevisiae/S. douglasii hybrids. As a genetic tool we studied frequencies of recombination, taking advantage of an S. douglasii breeding stock of some 50 identified mutations in non-switching haploids. Recombination, although markedly reduced, could be observed at both the chromosomal and allelic levels, implying a sporadic pairing in meiosis to allow genetic exchange. Meiotic recombination frequencies were studied for 14 gene pairs and generally found to be reduced ten-fold. Heteroallelic recombination (gene conversion) frequencies were measured at 22 loci and were judged to be reduced at least two- to 100-fold. DNA hybridization experiments with S. cerevisiae gene probes gave results consistent with low DNA sequence homologies between S. cerevisiae and S. douglasii. Moreover, by chance, our experiments disclosed another Saccharomyces strain (CBS2908, originally classified as S. cerevisiae) with hybridization patterns identical to S. douglasii except for the hybridization with the Ty transposon probes. Crosses between CBS2908 and S. douglasii yielded diploid hybrids with 80-90% spore viability, thus establishing a second member of the S. douglasii species.

    Notizen: DNA was isolated from cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae incubated under conditions that enriched for DNA replication intermediates. A novel form of the 2 μm plasmid was detected, in which two monomeric or dimeric circles were joined by a linear double-stranded segment of variable length. We suggest that this molecule is a consequence of site-specific recombination within a dimeric DNA molecule during DNA replication. The existence of this molecule provides supporting physical evidence for a variant of the model of 2 μ plasmid amplification first proposed by Futcher (1986).

    Notizen: A 10 270 bp fragment from the left arm of chromosome XV of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was sequenced and analysed. The sequence reveals the presence of two open reading frames (ORFs), one of them is the larger part of the previously sequenced gene IRA2 (YOL0951). The other ORF, YOL0950, has a length of 1245 nucleotides and exhibits no significant homology with any known gene, although there is some similarity of its upstream region to the corresponding region of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdr1/nim1 gene which is involved in the control of mitotic cell size. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under Accession Number X75449.

    Notizen: We have cloned and expressed a bacterial thermostable alpha amylase gene in Pichia pastoris using the methanol-controlled alcohol oxidase (AOX1) promoter. Two integrative vectors were constructed with two different secretion signal sequences in order to obtain efficient secretion of the protein. One vector contains the structural gene encoding the mature alpha amylase fused to the SUC2 gene signal sequence from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the other vector, the alpha amylase is expressed with its own signal sequence. In both cases, the alpha amylase were secreted into the culture medium with high efficiency, around 2·5 and 0·9 g/l respectively.

    Notizen: The expression of the PMA1 and PMA2 genes during Saccharomyces cerevisiae growth in medium with glucose plus increasing concentrations of ethanol was monitored by using PMA1-lacZ and PMA2-lacZ fusions and Northern blot hybridizations of total RNA probed with PMA1 gene. The presence of sub-lethal concentrations of ethanol enhanced the expression of PMA2 whereas it reduced the expression of PMA1. The inhibition of PMA1 expression by ethanol corresponded to a decrease in the content of plasma membrane ATPase as quantified by immunoassays. Although an apparent correspondence could exist between the increase of plasma membrane ATPase activity and the level of PMA2 expression, the maximal level of PMA2 expression remained about 200 times lower than PMA1. On the other hand, ethanol activated the plasma membrane H+-ATPase activity from a strain expressing only the PMA1 ATPase but did not activate that from a strain expressing only the PMA2 ATPase. These results provide evidence that in the presence of ethanol it is the PMA1 ATPase which is activated, probably by a post-translational mechanism and that the PMA2 ATPase is not involved.

    Notizen: Candida boidinii is a methylotrophic yeast in which several growth substrates can cause vigorous peroxisomal proliferation. While such diverse substrates as methanol, oleic acid and D-alanine induce different peroxisomal metabolic pathways, membranes seem to contain common abundant peroxisomal membrane proteins (PMPs). These proteins have been termed PMP31, PMP32 and PMP47. The gene encoding PMP47 has been previously cloned and analysed. We now report the isolation of a second PMP47 gene (or allele) as well as PMP31 and PMP32. PMP47A and PMP47B share 95% sequence identity at the amino acid level. PMP31 and PMP32 each contain 256 amino acids and are highly similar (97% identity) in protein sequence. Both PMP31 and PMP32 are predicted to span the membrane once or twice. All abundant PMPs of C. boidinii are basic in charge; they all have predicted isoelectric points above 10. RNAs corresponding to the PMP47s and to PMPs31-32 are strongly induced by methanol, oleic acid and D-alanine. While the PMP47s probably encode substrate carriers, the functions of PMP31 and PMP32 from C. boidinii are still unknown. The GenBank Accession Numbers for PMP47B, PMP31, and PMP32 are L27998, L27999 and L28000, respectively. The 5′ untranslated sequence of PMP47A, accession number J05672, has been corrected.

    Notizen: We report the sequencing of a 22 470 bp DNA fragment from the left arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome II. Thirteen open reading frames longer than 300 bp provisionally called YBL0520, YBL0401 to YBL0408 and YBL0410 to YBL0413 have been detected. Five genes were previously sequenced: COR1, encoding a core protein of the mitochondrial coenzyme QH2 cytochrome c reductase complex (Tzagaloff and Crivellone, 1986). PRS3, a proteasome subunit gene (Lee et al., 1992), ERD2, coding for a protein involved in the secretory pathway (Semeza et al., 1990), URA7, which encodes a CTP synthetase (Ozier-Kalogeropoulos et al., 1991) and the gene for the ribosomal protein L16 (Pan et al., 1993). Among the others, YBL0406 shows striking homologies to FUR4 (Jund et al., 1988) and DAL4 (Yoo et al., 1992), the uracyl and allantoin permeases; YBL0520 is a DNA-related protein, possibly involved in gene regulation; YBL0412 shares homologies with the mouse α-adaptins A and C; and YBL0413 is homologous to a protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that is likely to be involved in proline biosynthesis. YBL0401, internal to YBL0520, is probably not expressed. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under accession number X78217

    Notizen: Incubation of starved galactose-grown S. cerevisiae cells with cyanide reduced glucose uptake as measured over a 5-s period. The Vmax for glucose uptake was decreased by over a factor of two but the apparent affinity for glucose doubled. When measured in the sub-second time scale, however, there was no significant inhibition of glucose uptake, by cyanide, up to 200-ms, clearly demonstrating that, in cyanide treated cells, glucose uptake was not linear for the first 5-s.After a 200-ms exposure of untreated cells to radio-labelled glucose, less than 10% of the intracellular label resided in soluble uncharged compounds. In cyanide-treated cells up to 43% of the labelled compounds were uncharged, with a concurrent reduction of intracellular label residing in anionic compounds. The results suggest that, in the presence of 10 mM cyanide when respiration is inhibited, a reduction in the cellular ATP concentration causes a reduction in hexose-kinase activity which results in an accumulation of internal free glucose, which in turn causes a reduction in net glucose transport.

    Notizen: We have isolated a pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) gene from the yeast Hanseniaspora uvarum using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PDC1 gene as a probe. The nucleotide sequence of this gene was determined and compared to PDC genes from yeast and other organisms. The H. uvarum PDC gene is more than 70% identical to the S. cerevisiae PDC isozymes and possesses a putative thiamine diphosphate binding site. The PDC enzyme was purified and partially characterized. The H. uvarum PDC was very similar to other known PDCs; the Km for pyruvate was 0·75 mM, and the enzyme is a homotetramer with subunits of Mr = 57 000. The sequence has been submitted to GenBank under Accession No. U13635.

    Notizen: Two fragments containing both an autonomous replicating sequence (ARS) and a centromere have been isolated and sequenced from the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus. The ARS and centromeric core sequences are only 500 bp apart, but ARS activity could be separated from the centromeric sequences.Centromeric sequences are organized in a similar way to those of budding yeasts: two well-conserved elements: CDEI (5′ TCACGTG 3′) and CDEIII (5′ TNTTCCGAAAGTWAAA 3′), are separated by a 165 bp AT-rich (± 90%) CDEII element whose length is twice that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CDEII but almost identical to that of K. lactis.The ARS-core consensus sequence (5′ TTTATTGTT 3′) is also similar to that of K. lactis. Both ARS and centromeric elements function in this strain, albeit inefficiently, but not in S. cerevisiae.A third ARS-containing fragment with a different organization has been isolated and sequenced.The nucleotide sequences of DNA fragments reported in this paper will appear in the EMB data library under the accession numbers: Z31562, Z31563, Z31564.

    Notizen: We report the amino acid sequence of 13 open reading frames (ORF 〉 299 bp) located on a 21·7 kb DNA segment from the left arm of chromosome XIV of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Five open reading frames had been entirely or partially sequenced previously: WHI3, GCR2, SPX19, SPX18 and a heat shock gene similar to SSB1. The products of 8 other ORFs are new putative proteins among which N1394 is probably a membrane protein. N1346 contains a leucine zipper pattern and the corresponding ORF presents an HAP (global regulator of respiratory genes) upstream activating sequence in the promoting region. N1386 shares homologies with the DNA structure-specific recognition protein family SSRPs and the corresponding ORF is preceded by an MCB (MluI cell cycle box) upstream activating factor. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under Accession Number X78898.

    Notizen: We have completely sequenced on both strands a continuous DNA segment of 36·2 kb located on the left arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome XI. Sequence analysis reveals the presence of 20 open reading frames (ORFs) at least 100 amino acids long. Five of these ORFs correspond to known genes; five others show homology with known proteins; the ten remaining ORFs identified show no detectable homology with other protein sequences contained in data banks and may represent new biological functions. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under Agreement Number Z26877.

    Notizen: The complete DNA sequence of cosmid clone pEKG080 comprising 20 723 base pairs was determined from an ordered set of subclones. The sequence contains nine open reading frames (ORFs) longer than 100 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of YKL067 exhibits significant similarity to nucleoside diphosphate kinases from a number of species and probably represents this gene in yeast. YKL068 is identical to the NUP100 gene recently cloned and sequenced. The gene codes for a nuclear pore complex protein. YKL073 is identical to Hsp70 proteins from yeast and Hydra at about 20% of the amino acids. The significance of this similarity is uncertain. The remaining six ORFs do not share homology with known proteins. Three tRNAs for histidine, valine and tryptophan respectively were identified, the latter interrupted by a 34 bp intron. Solo delta sequences were found at three locations. The nucleotide sequence data have been deposited in the EMBL and GenBank data libraries under Accession Number X75780.

    Notizen: Developmental processes exert their influence on the evolution of complex morphologies through the genetic correlations they engender between traits. Butterfly wing color patterns provide a model system to examine this connection between development and evolution. In butterflies, the nymphalid groundplan is a framework used to decompose complex wing patterns into their component pattern elements. The first goal of this work has been to determine whether the components of the nymphalid groundplan are the products of independent developmental processes. To test this hypothesis, the genetic correlation matrices for two species of butterflies, Precis coenia and Precis evarete, were estimated for 27 wing pattern characters. The second purpose was to test the hypothesis that the differentiation of serial homologs lowers their genetic correlations. The “eyespots” found serially repeated across the fore- and hindwing and on the dorsal and ventral wing surfaces provided an opportunity to test this hypothesis. The genetic correlation matrices of both species were very similar. The pattern of genetic correlation measured between the different types of pattern elements and between the homologous repeats of a pattern element supported the first hypothesis of developmental independence among the elements of the groundplan. The correlation pattern among the differentiated serial homologs was similarly found to support the second hypothesis: pairs of eyespots that had differentiated had lower genetic correlations than pairs that were similar in morphology. The implications of this study are twofold: First, the apparent developmental independence among the distinct elements of wing pattern has facilitated the vast diversification in morphology found in butterflies. Second, the lower genetic correlations betweendifferentiated homologs demonstrates that developmental constraints can in fact be broken. The extent to which genetic correlations readily change, however, remains unknown. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Discussions about evolutionary change in developmental processes or morphological structures are predicated on specific quantitative genetic models whose parameters predict whether evolutionary change can occur, its relative rate and direction, and if correlated change will occur in other related and unrelated structures. The appropriate genetic model should reflect the relevant genetical and developmental biology of the organisms, yet be simple enough in its parameters so that deductions can be made and hypotheses tested. As a consequence, the choice of the most appropriate genetic model for polygenically controlled traits is a complex tissue and the eventual choice of model is often a compromise between completeness of the model and computational expediency. Herein, we discuss several developmental quantitative genetic models for the evolution of development and morphology. The models range from the classical direct effects model to complex epigenetic models. Further, we demonstrate the algebraic equivalency of the Cowley and Atchley epigenetic model and Wagner's developmental mapping model. Finally, we propose a new multivariate model for continuous growth trajectories. The relative efficacy of these various models for understanding evolutionary change in developmental and morphological traits is discussed. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The presence of the mutation Sex reversed (Sxr), a copy of a Y-chromosomal segment that gets transferred to an X chromosome, causes the resulting XXSxr mice to develop as apparent males. However, several features of male sexual development are abnormal in these animals. The testes are small and aspermatogenic, and the epididymides lack the initial segment. Testes and epididymides show abnormalities of extracellular matrix. In this study we examined transcription of the conserved Y chromosomal gene Zfy, which has an X-chromosomal homologue (Zfx). Northern blotting showed Zfy to be expressed in the testes of XXSxr animals, except for those that carry the coat-marker gene Tabby (Ta), despite the lack of germ cells in XXSxr mice. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) studies detected Zfy in mRNA in testes even when Ta was present. RT-PCR also demonstrated Zfy transcription in epididymides of normal males, though not in XXSxr mice. Previous authors reported an absence of Zfy transcription in XXSxr testes; Zfy transcription in normal testes has been ascribed to germ cells. Our observation indicates that this idea requires re-evaluation. The occurrence of Zfy transcription in the normal epididymis is similarly a novel finding that may help explain those aspects of epididymal development that occur in the absence of androgen. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The tassel seed mutations of maize cause sex reversal of the florets of the tassel, such that the normally staminate florets develop pistils. Although these mutations have been recognized for many years, little is known about how they act. We have tested the hypothesis that the tassel seed genes interact directly with each other and with other genes controlling sex determination in a single genetic pathway by the construction and analysis of double mutants. On the basis of the phenotypes of the double mutants, the tassel seed mutations were placed into two groups: ts1, ts2, Ts5 and ts4, Ts6. Both groups of tassel seed mutations were additive with the masculinizing mutation dwarf, indicating independent modes of action. Interactions of tassel seed mutations with silkless varied, allowing the ordering of the action of the various tassel seed mutations relative to silkless. Both groups of tassel seed mutations were epistatic with regard to sex expression to mutations that alter both architecture of the plant and distribution of male and female florets, Teopod 1, terminal ear, and teosinte branched. Thus, there are at least two separate genetic pathways that control the sex of florets in maize tassels. In addition, analysis of double mutants revealec that all tassel seed genes tested play a role in the regulation of flower morphogenesis as well as pistil suppression. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: A transient expression assay has been used to investigate the cause of a tissuespecific position effect on Adh expression from a transgene insertion in Drosophila. A 15.4-kb genomic clone containing the 3.2-kb Adh insert along with flanking regions of genomic DNA is expressed in this assay in a tissue-specific pattern resembling the abnormal expression pattern of the position effect. The 3.2-kb Adh insert is expressed normally without the flanking sequences. A silencer element is located upstream of the Adh gene within a 2-kb fragment that acts in both orientations and at a distance of at least 6.5 kb from the larval Adh promoter to suppress ADH expression in a nontissue specific fashion. The DNA sequence of the 2-kb fragment indicates that it is a noncoding region. A 17-bp sequence is repeated within this region and may be associated with the silencer activity, since subclones from the 2-kb fragment, each containing one of the repeated regions, both retain full silencer activity. This silencer fails to suppress expression from an α1-tubulin promoter-LacZ fusion construct or an hsp70 promoter-Ach fusion construct. In addition to the silencer, another element is located downstream of the Adh gene that produces a higher level of anterior than posterior midgut expression. These results suggest that the 5′ silencer and the 3′ element act together to create the tissue specific pcsition effect characteristic of the GC-1 line. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The insect prothoracic glands are the source of steroidal molting hormone precursors and the glands are stimulated by a brain neuropeptide, prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH). Previous work from this laboratory revealed that PTTH acts via a cascade including Ca2+/calmodulin activation of adenylate cyclase, protein kinase A, and the subsequent phosphorylation of a 34 kDa protein (p34) hypothesized, but not proven, to be the 56 protein of the 40S ribosomal subunit. The jmmunosuppressive macrolide, rapamycin, is a potent inhibitor of cell proliferation, a signal transduction blocker, and also prevents ribosomal S6 phosphorylation in mammalian systems. We demonstrate here that rapamycin inhibited PTTH-stimulated ecdysteroidogenesis in vitro by the prothoracic glands of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, with half-maximal inhibition at a concentration of about 5 nM. At concentrations above 5 nM, there was a 75% inhibition of ecdysteroid biosynthesis. Similar results, were observed with the calcium ionophore (A23187), a known stimulator of ecdysteroidogenesis. Most importantly, the inhibition of ecdysteroid biosynthesis was accompanied by the specific inhibition of the phosphorylation of p34, indicating that p34 indeed is ribosomal protein S6. In vivo assays revealed that injection of rapamycin into day 6 fifth instar larvae resulted in a decreased hemolymph ecdysteroid titer and a dose-dependent delay in molting and metamor-phosis. When S6 kinase (S6K) activity was examined using rapamycin-treated prothoracic glands as the enzyme source and a synthetic peptide (S6-21) or a 40S ribosomal subunit fraction from Manduca tissues as substrate, the date revealed that rapamycin inhibited S6K activity. The composite data suggest that rapamycin inhibits a signal transduction element leading to p34 phosphorylation that is necessary for PTTH-stimulated ecdysteroidogenesis in this insect endocrine gland, and lend further support to the concept that p34 is S6. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Two distinct cDNAs encoding thyroid hormone receptors (THRs) were cloned from a λ gtl0 library prepared from the whole bodies of metamorphosing flounder larvae (Paralichfhys olivaceus). Deduced amino acid sequences of the two isolated cDNAs shared 96% and 92% homologies in their DNA- and hormone-binding domains, respectively. These were highly conserved when compared to THRs for other vertebrates: 88-96% in the DNA-binding domain and 84-94% in the hormone-binding domain. Other receptors in the nuclear receptor family showed lower homologies than those of THRs. Both THRs for the flounder had higher homologies with the α-type THRs of other vertebrates than with the β-type. Thus, the two THRs for flounder were designated as fTHRαA and fTHRαB. © 1994 Wiiey-Liss, Inc.
