One of the cyr 1 mutants (cyr 1-2) in yeast produced low levels of adenylate cyclase and cyclic AMP at 25 degrees and was unable to derepress acid phosphatase. Addition of cyclic AMP to the cyr1-2 cultures elevated the level of repressible acid phosphatase activity. The bcy1 mutation, which suppresses the cyr1-2 mutation by allowing activity of a cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase, also allows acid phosphatase synthesis without restoring adenylate cyclase activity. The CYR3 mutant had structurally altered cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and was unable to derepress acid phosphatase. The cyr1 locus was different from pho2, pho4 and pho81, which were known to regulate acid phosphatase synthesis. Mutants carrying cyr1-2 and pho80, PHO81c, PHO82 or pho85 mutations, which confer constitutive synthesis of repressible acid phosphatase, produced acid phosphatase. The cyr1-2 mutant produced significantly low levels of invertase and alpha-D-glucosidase. These results indicated that cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase exerts its function in the synthesis of repressible acid phosphatase and other enzymes.  相似文献

pho4 mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, although rare among phosphatase-negative mutants isolated from wild-type strains, were isolated efficiently from pho80, pho85, or pho80 pho85 strains. The distribution of these pho4 mutants over the pho4 locus was determined by analyzing random spores of two- and three-factor crosses. The pho4-4 mutation confers temperature-sensitive synthesis of repressible acid phosphatase. An intragenic suppressor for the pho4-12 allele results in the temperature-sensitive synthesis of repressible acid phosphatase. Recombination between these sites occurs at 1.0 to 3.0%, the highest for any pair of sites within the pho4 locus. All these results strongly indicate that the information of the pho4 locus is translated into a protein. The PHO82 site was mapped inside the pho4 locus by random spore analysis. The order met10-pho4-1PHO82-1-pho4-9 on the right arm of chromosome VI was confirmed by tetrad analysis. Doubly heterozygous diploids, pho3 PHO82c PHO4+/pho3 pho82+ pho4, produce variable amounts of repressible acid phosphatase under repressive conditions depending on the combination of PHO82c and pho4 alleles. This phenomenon may reflect the constitutive production of the pho82+-pho4 product in the repressed condition, which interferes with the function of the PHO82c-PHO4+ product. The earlier model for the function of the PHO82-pho4 cluster, in which the PHO82 site acts as an operator of the pho4 gene, has been revised to a model in which the PHO82 site codes for the part of the pho4 protein that has affinity for the regulatory protein encoded by the pho80 and pho85 genes.  相似文献

The yeast ILV2 gene encodes acetolactate synthase, the first enzyme in the biosynthesis of isoleucine and valine. Its multiple regulation has precluded the clear demonstration of whether ILV2 is under general amino acid control. Nonderepressible gcn4 strains were used as recipients for transformation with a YCp plasmid carrying GCN4. Parental gcn4 cells and their isogenic GCN4 transformants were evaluated for ALS derepression following induced amino acid starvation. GCN4 cells showed 1.5- to 1.7-fold derepression but no derepression was observed in isogenic control gcn4 strains. A similar depression of ILV2 mRNA was also observed. Genetic evidence for general amino acid control was the gcn4 suppression of high level resistance to sulfometuron methyl by the SMRI-410 allele of ILV2.  相似文献

One-step gene replacement in yeast by cotransformation   总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

A general method to replace chromosomal DNA sequences of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by any in vitro modified DNA sequence has been developed and was applied to the PHO5 locus on chromosome II. A recipient strain was constructed in which part of the chromosomal PHO5 sequence was substituted by the URA3 gene. Replacement of this pho5-URA3 substitution by pho5 mutant alleles was achieved in one step by cotransformation with a pho5 DNA fragment and the self-replicating plasmid YEp13, which contains the LEU2 gene as a selectable marker. Leu+ transformants were selected, and the replacement events at the PHO5 locus were detected by their Ura- phenotype (1-4% of the Leu+ were Ura-). In a similar way the PHO5 coding sequence was replaced by the sequence coding for human tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA).  相似文献

The repressible acid phosphatase gene PHO5 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires the two positively acting regulatory proteins PHO2 and PHO4 for expression. pho2 or pho4 mutants are not able to derepress the PHO5 gene under low-Pi conditions. Here we show that both PHO2 and PHO4 bind specifically to the PHO5 promoter in vitro. Gel retardation assays using promoter deletions revealed two regions involved in PHO4 binding. Further characterization by DNase I footprinting showed two protected areas, one located at -347 to -373 (relative to the ATG initiator codon) (UASp1) and the other located at -239 to -262 (UASp2). Exonuclease III footprint experiments revealed stops at -349 and -368 (UASp1) as well as at -245 and -260 (UASp2). Gel retardation assays with the PHO2 protein revealed a binding region that lay between the two PHO4-binding sites. DNase I footprint analysis suggested a PHO2-binding site covering the region between -277 and -296.  相似文献

Two lines of evidence showed that the PHO8 gene encodes the structure of repressible, nonspecific alkaline phosphatase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: (i) the enzyme produced by a temperature-sensitive pho8 mutant at the permissive temperature (25 degrees C) was more thermolabile than that of the wild-type strain, and (ii) the PHO8 gene showed a gene dosage effect on the enzyme activity. The pho8 locus has been mapped on chromosome IV, 8 centimorgans distal to rna3. A new mutant carrying the pho9 gene was isolated which lacks repressible alkaline phosphatase, but has the normal phenotype for the synthesis of repressible acid phosphatase. The pho9 gene segregated independently of all known pho-regulatory genes and did not show the gene dosage effect on repressible alkaline phosphatase activity. The pho9/pho9 diploid hardly sporulated and showed no commitment to intragenic recombination when it was inoculated on sporulation medium. Hence the pho9 mutant has a phenotype similar to the pep4 mutant, which was isolated as a pleiotropic mutant with reduced levels of proteinases A and B and carboxypeptidase Y. An allelism test indicated that pho9 and pep4 are allelic.  相似文献

Mutant regulatory loci of the branched pathway for the biosynthesis of isoleucine-valine and leucine were identified with the unusual phenotype of an amino acid dependent auxotrophy. Two mutant loci, bcs1 and bcs2, conferred branched chain amino acid sensitivity and showed independent segregation. Linkage studies defined bcs1 as a cis-acting regulatory site of ILV2 (SMR1). ILV2 upstream deletion analyses and high-copy transformation of the positive regulatory locus LEU3 ruled out the possibility of LEU3 protein binding palindromes mediating the branched chain amino acid dependent auxotrophy. In the presence of leucine and valine, the general amino acid control system (GCN4) was epistatic to bcs1 and bcs2, and under nonstarvation conditions GCN4 strains showed an increased acetolactate synthase activity over gcn4 strains. Thus in addition to general regulation of ILV2, GCN4 functions in basal level expression when the locus is subject to specific repression by pathway end product.  相似文献
