We placed the Saccharomyces cerevisiae GAL4 gene under control of the galactose regulatory system by fusing it to the S. cerevisiae GAL1 promoter. After induction with galactose, GAL4 is now transcribed at about 1,000-fold higher levels than in wild-type S. cerevisiae. This regulated high-level expression has enabled us to tentatively identify two GAL4-encoded proteins. 相似文献

Lack of GAL4 gene dosage on the level of uridine diphosphogalactose epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2) activity suggests the positive regulatory role for this locus on the control of galactose catabolic enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 相似文献

The activities of the first three enzymes for galactose catabolism normally become detectable within 15 min after the addition of galactose into a culture of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In S. cerevisiae with a recessive mutation termed gal3, a longer-than-normal lag is observed before the appearance of the enzyme activities (O. Winge and C. Roberts, C. R. Trav. Lab. Carlsberg Ser. Physiol. 24:263-315, 1948). I isolated two S. cerevisiae mutants with temperature-sensitive defects in the GAL3 gene. Temperature shift experiments with one of those mutants led to the conclusion that the GAL3 function is required not only for the initiation of enzyme induction but also for the maintenance of the induced state in galactose-nonfermenting S. cerevisiae because of a defect in any of the genes for the galactose-catabolizing enzymes, such as gal1 or gal10. In contrast, the GAL3 function is phenotypically dispensable in galactose-metabolizing S. cerevisiae. Thus, the normal catabolism of galactose can substitute for the GAL3 function. 相似文献

Nucleosome structure and repair of N-methylpurines were analyzed at nucleotide resolution in the divergent GAL1-10 genes of intact yeast cells, encompassing their common upstream-activating sequence. In glucose cultures where genes are repressed, nucleosomes with fixed positions exist in regions adjacent to the upstream-activating sequence, and the variability of nucleosome positioning sharply increases with increasing distance from this sequence. Galactose induction causes nucleosome disruption throughout the region analyzed, with those nucleosomes close to the upstream-activating sequence being most striking. In glucose cultures, a strong correlation between N-methylpurine repair and nucleosome positioning was seen in nucleosomes with fixed positions, where slow and fast repair occurred in nucleosome core and linker DNA, respectively. Galactose induction enhanced N-methylpurine repair in both strands of nucleosome core DNA, being most dramatic in the clearly disrupted, fixed nucleosomes. Furthermore, N-methylpurines are repaired primarily by the Mag1-initiated base excision repair pathway, and nucleotide excision repair contributes little to repair of these lesions. Finally, N-methylpurine repair is significantly affected by nearest-neighbor nucleotides, where fast and slow repair occurred in sites between pyrimidines and purines, respectively. These results indicate that nucleosome positioning and DNA sequence significantly modulate Mag1-initiated base excision repair in intact yeast cells. 相似文献

A mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae deficient in the lactate-proton symport was isolated. Transformation of the mutant with a yeast genomic library allowed the isolation of the gene JEN1 that restored lactate transport. Disruption of JEN1 abolished uptake of lactate. The results indicate that, under the experimental conditions tested, no other monocarboxylate permease is able to efficiently transport lactate in S. cerevisiae. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains two genes, CIT1 and CIT2, encoding functional citrate synthase (K.-S. Kim, M. S. Rosenkrantz, and L. Guarente, Mol. Cell. Biol. 6:1936-1942, 1986). We show here that CIT2 encodes a nonmitochondrial form of citrate synthase. The DNA sequence of CIT2 presented provides a possible explanation for why the CIT2 product, unlike the CIT1 product, fails to be imported into mitochondria. While the products of these two genes are highly homologous, they diverge strikingly at their amino termini. The amino terminus of the CIT1 primary translation product extends 39 residues beyond the amino termini of Escherichia coli and porcine citrate synthases. This extension consists of a typical mitochondrial targeting motif. The amino terminus of the CIT2 primary translation product extends 20 residues beyond the amino termini of the E. coli and porcine enzymes. The CIT2-encoded extension is not homologous to that of CIT1, resulting in a nonmitochondrial localization of the product. The CIT2-encoded extension, however, does bear certain similarities to mitochondrial targeting sequences. The possible role of this sequence in targeting this CIT2 product to a nonmitochondrial organelle is discussed. 相似文献

Cloning and characterization of the previously described Saccharomyces cerevisiae IMP1 gene, which was assumed to be a nuclear determinant involved in the nucleomitochondrial control of the utilization of galactose, demonstrate allelism to the GAL2 gene. Galactose metabolism does not necessarily involve the induction of the specific transport system coded by GAL2/IMP1, because a null mutant takes up galactose and grows on it. Data on galactose uptake are presented, and the dependence on ATP for constitutive and inducible galactose transport is discussed. These results can account for the inability of imp1/gal2 mutants to grow on galactose in a respiration-deficient background. Under these conditions, uptake was affected at the functional level but not at the biosynthetic level. 相似文献

We have analyzed a GAL1 mutant (gal1-r strain) of the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis which lacks the induction of beta-galactosidase and the enzymes of the Leloir pathway in the presence of galactose. The data show that the K. lactis GAL1 gene product has, in addition to galactokinase activity, a function required for induction of the lactose system. This regulatory function is not dependent on galactokinase activity, as it is still present in a galactokinase-negative mutant (gal1-209). Complementation studies in Saccharomyces cervisiae show that K. lactis GAL1 and gal1-209, but not gal1-r, complement the gal3 mutation. We conclude that the regulatory function of GAL1 in K. lactis soon after induction is similar to the function of GAL3 in S. cerevisiae. 相似文献
