Kluyveromyces lactis γ-toxin, a ribonuclease that recognizes the anticodon stem loop of tRNA
Kluyveromyces lactis gamma-toxin is a tRNA endonuclease that cleaves Saccharomyces cerevisiae [see text] between position 34 and position 35. All three substrate tRNAs carry a 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine (mcm(5)s(2)U) residue at position 34 (wobble position) of which the mcm(5) group is required for efficient cleavage. However, the different cleavage efficiencies of mcm(5)s(2)U(34)-co...
متن کاملInsight into the Kluyveromyces lactis Pdr1p regulon.
The overexpression of efflux pumps is an important mechanism leading to the development of multidrug resistance phenomenon. The transcription factor KlPdr1p, belonging to the Zn2Cys6 family, is a central regulator of efflux pump expression in Kluyveromyces lactis. To better understand how KlPDR1-mediated drug resistance is achieved in K. lactis, we used DNA microarrays to identify genes whose e...
متن کاملRegulation of lactose transport in Kluyveromyces lactis
Kluyveromyces lactis is able to ferment lactose and it is considered as an alternative model for biochemical, physiological and genetic studies in nonSaccharomyces yeasts. Understanding the mechanisms of lactose uptake and the regulation involved in the transport is an important step towards better biotechnological applications. The transport of lactose in K. lactis is mediated by a membrane pe...
متن کاملReoxidation of cytosolic NADPH in Kluyveromyces lactis.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces lactis are considered to be the prototypes of two distinct metabolic models of facultatively-aerobic yeasts: Crabtree-positive/fermentative and Crabtree-negative/respiratory, respectively. Our group had previously proposed that one of the molecular keys supporting this difference lies in the mechanisms involved in the reoxidation of the NADPH produced ...
متن کاملAvoidance of antisense, antiterminator tRNA anticodons in vertebrate mitochondria
Protein synthesis (translation) stops at stop codons, codons not complemented by tRNA anticodons. tRNAs matching stops, antitermination (Ter) tRNAs, prevent translational termination, producing dysfunctional proteins. Genomes avoid tRNAs with anticodons whose complement (the anticodon of the 'antisense' tRNA) matches stops. This suggests that antisense tRNAs, which also form cloverleaves, are o...
