چکیده
The GAL80 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a negative regulatory protein for the set of inducible genes involving metabolism of galactose and melibiose. We have determined the nucleotide sequence of GAL80 and its flanking regions and assigned the 5' end of its mRNA to the sequence. The deduced coding sequence for GAL80 protein contains 1305 nucleotides and the calculated molecular weight of the peptide chain is 48309. The 5' end of the GAL80 mRNA maps about 67 nucleotides upstream from the translation initiating ATG. We have also determined the nucleotide sequence of uninducible alleles GAL80S-0, GAL80S-1 and GAL80S-2, and found single base substitution in each of these mutant genes which would lead to alteration of amino acid in GAL80 protein.

Chromatin structure and regulation of the eukaryotic regulatory gene GAL80.
The chromatin structure around the 5' end of the yeast regulatory gene GAL80 has been determined. The chromatin organization is very similar to that on the 5' regions of the GAL1-10 structural genes: a constitutive hypersensitive region containing the upstream activating sequence (UAS) element, and nucleosomes around this hypersensitive region. The downstream nucleosome, which is a positioned n...
متن کاملYeast Two Hybrid Assay: A Fishing Tale
Galactose metabolism Galactose is imported into the cell and converted to galactose-6-phosphate by six enzymes (GAL1, GAL2, PGM2, GAL7, GAL10, MEL1) which are transcriptionally regulated by the proteins Gal80, Gal3, and Gal4, the latter of which plays the central role of DNA-binding transactivator (Figure 1). Gal80 binds Gal4 and inhibits its transcriptional ability. Gal3, in the presence of ga...
متن کاملCloning and sequencing of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) interferon regulatory factor 7
Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) gene was cloned from a subtractive cDNA library constructed with mRNAs obtained from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) macrophage cell line (RTS-11). Using expressed sequence tag clones of submitted IRF7 amino acid sequences, specific primers were designed. Results showed that IRF7 cDNA contains an ORF of 1251 nucleotides that translates into a 416 resi...
متن کاملEvolution of gene network activity by tuning the strength of negative-feedback regulation.
Despite the examples of protein evolution via mutations in coding sequences, we have very limited understanding on gene network evolution via changes in cis-regulatory elements. Using the galactose network as a model, here we show how the regulatory promoters of the network contribute to the evolved network activity between two yeast species. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we combinatorially repl...
متن کاملGAL 4 Mutations That Separate the Transcriptional Activation and GALSO - Interactive Functions of the Yeast GAL 4 Protein
The carboxy-terminal28 amino acids of the Saccharomyces cermisiae transcriptional activator protein GAL4 execute two functions-transcriptional activation and interaction with the negative regulatory protein, GALSO. Here we demonstrate that these two functions are separable by single amino acid changes within this region. We determined the sequences of four GAL4"-mutations, and characterized the...
