Induction of yeast killer factor mutations.
نویسنده
چکیده
Two related killer strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were mutagenized and screened for nonkiller variants. About 20% of the mutants derived from one strain lacked all detectable double-straned ribonucleic acid (dsRNA). About 70% of the mutants from the other strain lacked one of the dsRNA species normally associated with the killer factor and had in its place another species of dsRNA with a lower molecular weight.

Functional investigation of the BRCA1 Val1714Gly and Asp1733Gly variants by computational tools and yeast transcription activation assay
Mutations in the BRCA1 gene are known to be a major cause of hereditary breast cancer. However, characterizing the point mutationsassociated with cancer in BRCA1 is challenging because the functional impact of most of them is still unknown. Nowadays, a variety of methods are employed to identify cancer-associated mutations in BRCA1. This study is aimed to ass...
متن کاملPoly(A) site choice and Pol2 CTD Serine-5 status govern lncRNA control of phosphate-responsive tgp1 gene expression in fission yeast.
Expression of fission yeast glycerophosphate transporter Tgp1 is repressed in phosphate-rich medium and induced during phosphate starvation. Repression is enforced by transcription of the nc-tgp1 locus upstream of tgp1 to produce a long noncoding (lnc) RNA. Here we identify two essential elements of the nc-tgp1 promoter: a TATA box -30TATATATA-23 and a HomolD box -64CAGTCACA-57, mutations of wh...
متن کاملTOR and PKA Pathways Synergize at the Level of the Ste11 Transcription Factor to Prevent Mating and Meiosis in Fission Yeast
BACKGROUND In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the TOR (target of rapamycin) and PKA (protein kinase A) signaling transduction pathways regulate the expression of genes required for cell growth and sexual differentiation in response to the nutritional environment. Inhibition of Tor2 signaling results in the induction of genes involved in sexual differentiation, and the cells undergo...
متن کاملFunctional distinctions between yeast TATA elements.
Although the yeast his3 promoter region contains two functional TATA elements, TR and TC, the GCN4 and GAL4 upstream activator proteins stimulate transcription only through TR. In combination with GAL4, an oligonucleotide containing the sequence TATAAA is fully sufficient for TR function, whereas almost all single-base-pair substitutions of this sequence abolish the ability of this element to a...
متن کاملDefining the DNA Binding Site Recognized by the Fission Yeast Zn2Cys6 Transcription Factor Pho7 and Its Role in Phosphate Homeostasis
Fission yeast phosphate homeostasis entails transcriptional induction of genes encoding phosphate-mobilizing proteins under conditions of phosphate starvation. Transcription factor Pho7, a member of the Zn2Cys6 family of fungal transcription regulators, is the central player in the starvation response. The DNA binding sites in the promoters of phosphate-responsive genes have not been defined, n...
