Inhibition of thiamine transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by thiamine disulfides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Both thiamine disulfide and O-benzoyl thiamine disulfide, which are thiolfrom derivatives of thiamine, strongly inhibited thiamine transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The inhibition appeared to be due to a high affinity of the analogs for yeast cell membranes, in which thiamine transport component(s) may be integrated.

Thiamine transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae protoplasts.
Thiamine was found to be accumulated in protoplasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the same manner as in intact cells, suggesting that a soluble thiamine-binding protein in periplasm may not be an essential component of the thiamine transport system of S. cerevisiae. It was also found that thiamine pyrophosphate cannot be taken up by yeast protoplasts.
متن کاملA constitutive thiamine metabolism mutation, thi80, causing reduced thiamine pyrophosphokinase activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
We identified a strain carrying a recessive constitutive mutation (thi80-1) with an altered thiamine transport system, thiamine-repressible acid phosphatase, and several enzymes of thiamine synthesis from 2-methyl-4-amino-5-hydroxymethylpyrimidine and 4-methyl-5-beta-hydroxyethylthiazole. The mutant shows markedly reduced activity of thiamine pyrophosphokinase (EC 2.7.6.2) and high resistance t...
متن کاملThiamine increases expression of yeast gene.
We found that CPY production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae KS58-2D/pCY303 was increased by the addition of thiamine into the medium, while the addition of thiamine had no effect on cell growth. It became clear that the positive effect of thiamine was due to transcriptional increase, because the levels of CPYmRNA were increased according to the amount of thiamine added. Furthermore, it was suggest...
متن کاملPartial Decay of Thiamine Signal Transduction Pathway Alters Growth Properties of Candida glabrata
The phosphorylated form of thiamine (Vitamin B1), thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is essential for the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates in all organisms. Plants and microorganisms, such as yeast, synthesize thiamine de novo whereas animals do not. The thiamine signal transduction (THI) pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is well characterized. The ~10 genes required for thiamine biosynt...
متن کاملModification of thiamine pyrophosphate dependent enzyme activity by oxythiamine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells.
Oxythiamine is an antivitamin derivative of thiamine that after phosphorylation to oxythiamine pyro phosphate can bind to the active centres of thiamine-dependent enzymes. In the present study, the effect of oxythiamine on the viability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the activity of thiamine pyrophosphate dependent enzymes in yeast cells has been investigated. We observed a decrease in pyruvat...
