Domains of gene silencing near the left end of chromosome III in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Initiation of Ageing Process by Meiotic and Mitotic Recombination within the Ribosomal DNA Genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

In the budding yeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiae the tandem repeated of rDNA genes are located onchromosome XII, which is in the nucleolus. There are different types of proteins in the nucleoluskeleton,silencing proteins have got important role in nucleolus.It is shown that meiotic recombination between nonsister chromatids in the rDNA genes are stronglysuppressed, and s...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae donor preference during mating-type switching is dependent on chromosome architecture and organization.

Saccharomyces mating-type (MAT) switching occurs by gene conversion using one of two donors, HMLalpha and HMRa, located near the ends of the same chromosome. MATa cells preferentially choose HMLalpha, a decision that depends on the recombination enhancer (RE) that controls recombination along the left arm of chromosome III (III-L). When RE is inactive, the two chromosome arms constitute separat...

A 700 bp cis-Acting Region Controls Mating-Type Dependent Recombination Along the Entire Left Arm of Yeast Chromosome III

Homothallic switching of the mating-type MATa gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae results from replacement by gene conversion of MAT-Ya DNA with Y(alpha) sequences copied from one of two unexpressed donors. MATa preferentially recombines with HML(alpha), located near the left end of chromosome III, but can use HMR(alpha), near the right chromosome end. MATa donor preference depends on a 700 bp ori...

Inhibitory Effect of Supernatant and Lysate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on Expression of exoA Gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Background and Aim: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important ubiquitous and especially common pathogen in the hospital. Exotoxin A that encoded by exoA gene has a role in pathogenesis of this bacterium. Today, probiotics are widely used in the treatment and prevention of diseases. The present study aimed to study the Saccharomyces cerevisiae S3 effect on the expression of exoA gene. Materials an...
