Sensitivity of spermidine-deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae to paromomycin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spermidine-deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells are much more sensitive to paromomycin than nondeficient cells, resulting in cessation of growth and cell death.

Cisplatin 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 کاملCharacterization of an Interesting Novel Mutant Strain of Commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The yeast strains that are resistant to high concentration of ethanol have biotechnological benefits and aresuitable models for physiology and molecular genetics research fields. A novel ethanol-tolerant mutant strain,mut1, derived from the commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed higher ethanol production, and alsodemonstrated resistance to ethanol but not to other alcohols...
متن کاملHypusine modification for growth is the major function of spermidine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae polyamine auxotrophs grown in limiting spermidine.
Spermidine and its derivative, hypusinated eIF5A, are essential for the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Very low concentrations of spermidine (10(-8) M) are sufficient for the growth of S. cerevisiae polyamine auxotrophs (spe1Delta, spe2Delta, and spe3Delta). Under these conditions, even though the growth rate is near normal, the internal concentration of spermidine is <0.2% of the spermidi...
متن کاملSpermidine or spermine requirement for killer double-stranded RNA plasmid replication in yeast.
The spe2 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae codes for S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase, an enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway for the polyamines spermidine and spermine. We previously found that spe2 mutants completely lacking enzymic activity have no spermidine or spermine when grown in polyamine-free medium and require spermidine or spermine for meiotic sporulation and optimal growth. We now ...
