A mutation allowing expression of normally silent a mating-type information in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Mating type in haploid cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is determined by a pair of alleles MATa and MAT alpha. Under various conditions haploid mating types can be interconverted. It has been proposed that transpositions of silent cassettes of mating-type information from HML OR HMR to MAT are the source of mating type conversions. A mutation described in this work, designated AON1, ...
متن کاملA mutation that permits the expression of normally silent copies of mating-type information in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Studies of heterothallic and homothallic strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have led to the suggestion that mating-type information is located at three distinct sites on chromosome 3, although only information at the mating-type (MAT) locus is expressed (Hicks, Strathern and Herskowitz, 1977). We have found that the recessive mutation cmt permits expression of the normally silent copies of mat...
متن کاملDesign of a minimal silencer for the silent mating-type locus HML of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The silent mating-type loci HML and HMR of Saccharomyces cerevisiae contain mating-type information that is permanently repressed. This silencing is mediated by flanking sequence elements, the E- and I-silencers. They contain combinations of binding sites for the proteins Rap1, Abf1 and Sum1 as well as for the origin recognition complex (ORC). Together, they recruit other silencing factors, for...
متن کاملMating-type gene switching in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The study of yeast mating-type (MAT) gene switching has provided insights into several aspects of the regulation of gene expression. MAT switching is accomplished by a highly programmed site-specific homologous recombination event in which mating-type-specific sequences at MAT are replaced by alternative DNA sequences copied from one of two unexpressed donors. The mating-type system has also pr...
متن کاملCLONING AND EXPRESSION OF HUMAN IFNα2B GENE IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE
Interferon is a protein secreted by eucaryotic cells following stimulation by viruses, bacteria, and many other immunogenes. Recent medical studies indicate that interferons have effective role in the treatment of virus infections, immunodeficiency and certain types of cancer such as hairy cell leukaemia (HCL). The aim of the present study is to apply yeast strain for secreting human IFNα2b fol...
