Translation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: initiation factor 4A-dependent cell-free system.
Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes TIF1 and TIF2 (translation initiation factor) encode a protein tentatively called translation initiation factor (Tif) due to the similarity of its amino acid sequence and its molecular weight to mammalian eukaryotic initiation factor 4A. To clarify whether Tif is involved in translation, we produced an affinity-purified anti-Tif antibody by using Tif isolate...
متن کاملThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologue of mammalian translation initiation factor 6 does not function as a translation initiation factor.
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 6 (eIF6) binds to the 60S ribosomal subunit and prevents its association with the 40S ribosomal subunit. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene that encodes the 245-amino-acid eIF6 (calculated Mr 25,550), designated TIF6, has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant protein prevents association between 40S and 60S ribosomal subu...
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 کاملEukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF) 5A stimulates protein synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Within the field of eukaryotic protein synthesis, one factor remained putative for decades: eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF) 5A. Because eIF5A is an essential protein required for cell proliferation, and one easily targeted by inhibitors, identifying its role in the cell remains important and urgent. Recent reports support early findings that eIF5A stimulates protein synthesis and...
متن کاملInteraction of translation initiation factor eIF4G with eIF4A in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4A is an essential protein that, in conjunction with eIF4B, catalyzes the ATP-dependent melting of RNA secondary structure in the 5'-untranslated region of mRNA during translation initiation. In higher eukaryotes, eIF4A is assumed to be recruited to the mRNA through its interaction with eIF4G. However, the failure to detect this interaction in yeast brought in...
