Induction of the allantoin degradative enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the last intermediate of the pathway.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae can degrade allantoin in five steps to glyoxylate, ammonia, and "CO(2)." We previously demonstrated that synthesis of the urea carboxylase-allophanate hydrolase multienzyme complex is contingent upon the presence of allophanic acid, the product of the urea carboxylase reaction. Since these enzymes catalyze the last two reactions of allantoin degradation, experiments wer...
متن کاملCisplatin cytotoxicity is dependent on mitochondrial respiration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Objective(s): To understand the role of mitochondrial respiration in cisplatin sensitivity, we have employed wild-type and mitochondrial DNA depleted Rho0 yeast cells. Materials and Methods: Wild type and Rho0 yeast cultured in fermentable and non-fermentable sugar containing media, were studied for their sensitivity against cisplatin by monitoring growth curves, oxygen consumption, pH changes ...
متن کاملNitrogen repression of the allantoin degradative enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae can utilize allantoin as a sole nitrogen source by degrading it to ammonia, "CO(2)," and glyoxylate. We have previously shown that synthesis of the allantoin degradative enzymes is contingent upon the presence of allophanate, the last intermediate in the pathway. The reported repression of arginase by ammonia prompted us to ascertain whether or not the allantoin degrada...
متن کاملCa2+ transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Cytosolic free Ca2+ is maintained at submicromolar levels in budding yeast by the activity of Ca2+ pumps and antiporters. We have recently identified the structural genes for two Ca2+ pumps, PMC1 [correction of PCM1] and PMR1, which are required for Ca2+ sequestration into the vacuole and secretory organelles, respectively. The function of either Ca2+ pump is sufficient for yeast viability, but...
متن کاملOxalurate transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Oxalurate, the gratuitous inducer of the allantoin degradative enzymes, was taken into the cell by an energy-dependent active transport system with an apparent Km of 1.2 mM. Efflux of previously accumulated oxalurate was rapid, with a half-life of about 2 min. The oxalurate uptake system appears to be both constitutively produced and insensitive to nitrogen catabolite repression. The latter obs...
