The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD: http://genome-www.stanford.edu/Saccharomyces/) has recently developed new resources to provide more complete information about proteins from the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The PDB Homologs page provides structural information from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) about yeast proteins and/or their homologs. SGD has also created a resource that utilizes the eMOTIF database for motif information about a given protein. A third new resource is the Protein Information page, which contains protein physical and chemical properties, such as molecular weight and hydropathicity scores, predicted from the translated ORF sequence. 相似文献

The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) collects and organizes information about the molecular biology and genetics of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The latest protein structure and comparison tools available at SGD are presented here. With the completion of the yeast sequence and the Caenorhabditis elegans sequence soon to follow, comparison of proteins from complete eukaryotic proteomes will be an extremely powerful way to learn more about a particular protein's structure, its function, and its relationships with other proteins.

The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) provides Internet access to the complete Saccharomyces cerevisiae genomic sequence, its genes and their products, the phenotypes of its mutants, and the literature supporting these data. The amount of information and the number of features provided by SGD have increased greatly following the release of the S.cerevisiae genomic sequence, which is currently the only complete sequence of a eukaryotic genome. SGD aids researchers by providing not only basic information, but also tools such as sequence similarity searching that lead to detailed information about features of the genome and relationships between genes. SGD presents information using a variety of user-friendly, dynamically created graphical displays illustrating physical, genetic and sequence feature maps. SGD can be accessed via the World Wide Web at http://genome-www.stanford.edu/Saccharomyces/ 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used to provide fundamental understanding of eukaryotic genetics, gene product function, and cellular biological processes. Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) has been supporting the yeast research community since 1993, serving as its de facto hub. Over the years, SGD has maintained the genetic nomenclature, chromosome maps, and functional annotation, and developed various tools and methods for analysis and curation of a variety of emerging data types. More recently, SGD and six other model organism focused knowledgebases have come together to create the Alliance of Genome Resources to develop sustainable genome information resources that promote and support the use of various model organisms to understand the genetic and genomic bases of human biology and disease. Here we describe recent activities at SGD, including the latest reference genome annotation update, the development of a curation system for mutant alleles, and new pages addressing homology across model organisms as well as the use of yeast to study human disease. 相似文献

Upon the completion of the SACCHAROMYCES: cerevisiae genomic sequence in 1996 [Goffeau,A. et al. (1997) NATURE:, 387, 5], several creative and ambitious projects have been initiated to explore the functions of gene products or gene expression on a genome-wide scale. To help researchers take advantage of these projects, the SACCHAROMYCES: Genome Database (SGD) has created two new tools, Function Junction and Expression Connection. Together, the tools form a central resource for querying multiple large-scale analysis projects for data about individual genes. Function Junction provides information from diverse projects that shed light on the role a gene product plays in the cell, while Expression Connection delivers information produced by the ever-increasing number of microarray projects. WWW access to SGD is available at genome-www.stanford. edu/Saccharomyces/. 相似文献

When the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae consumes glucose, the expression of the genes for the glucose transport is controlled via signal transduction pathways and sensor molecules. Most publications describe the behavior of deletion strains while little is published about the in vivo regulation of glucose transporters in a wild type of S. cerevisiae. Here a global gene expression analysis via microarray experiments from cultivations with glucose concentrations of 50, 70, 100 and 500 mg/L is presented. This permits the observation of the fine-tuning of gene expression in dependency on the glucose concentration. We detected indications that the transport system for high glucose concentrations is activated at glucose concentrations between 50 and 100 mg/L. The regulation of genes coding enzymes for the signal pathways and of those encoding the transporters themselves supports this assumption. The expression of sensor-, signal- and transporter genes will be discussed in detail. In addition, new information about the behavior of the so far little described carriers HXT8, HXT12, HXT13, HXT17 and GAL2 will be given. According to our findings, HXT13 is active during starvation. HXT12, HXT17 and GAL2 are used at low glucose concentrations. The carrier HXT8 supports the glucose transport both during starvation and at low glucose concentrations. 相似文献

The SUC gene family of yeast (Saccharomyces) includes six structural genes for invertase (SUC1 through SUC5 and SUC7) found at unlinked chromosomal loci. A given yeast strain does not usually carry SUC+ alleles at all six loci; the natural negative alleles are called suc0 alleles. Cloned SUC2 DNA probes were used to investigate the physical structure of the SUC gene family in laboratory strains, commercial wine strains, and different Saccharomyces species. The active SUC+ genes are homologous. The suc0 allele at the SUC2 locus (suc2(0) in some strains is a silent gene or pseudogene. Other SUC loci carrying suc0 alleles appear to lack SUC DNA sequences. These findings imply that SUC genes have transposed to different chromosomal locations in closely related Saccharomyces strains. 相似文献

The yeast genetics community has embraced genomic biology, and there is a general understanding that obtaining a full encyclopedia of functions of the approximately 6000 genes is a worthwhile goal. The yeast literature comprises over 40,000 research papers, and the number of yeast researchers exceeds the number of genes. There are mutated and tagged alleles for virtually every gene, and hundreds of high-throughput data sets and computational analyses have been described. Why, then, are there >1000 genes still listed as uncharacterized on the Saccharomyces Genome Database, 10 years after sequencing the genome of this powerful model organism? Examination of the currently uncharacterized gene set suggests that while some are small or newly discovered, the vast majority were evident from the initial genome sequence. Most are present in multiple genomics data sets, which may provide clues to function. In addition, roughly half contain recognizable protein domains, and many of these suggest specific metabolic activities. Notably, the uncharacterized gene set is highly enriched for genes whose only homologs are in other fungi. Achieving a full catalog of yeast gene functions may require a greater focus on the life of yeast outside the laboratory. 相似文献

In order to analyze the response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to starvation on a gene expression level, microarray experiments were performed using a yeast whole genome array. It is well known that under stress conditions like heat, high salt concentrations, pressure or the presence of toxins, special stress response genes are induced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This includes the genes encoding the typical heat shock proteins as well as numerous genes concerning cell membrane composition, central carbon metabolism or cell cycle. In this contribution, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae starvation‐stress response is analyzed. Starvation is a living condition often experienced by yeast in natural surroundings. As Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an eukaryote, many results from the gene expression analysis are valid for mammalians as well. The understanding of response of the yeast to the absence of a nutrient is also important for the development of feeding strategies in cultivations. Therefore, knowledge about the gene expression during starvation is important for both research and industrial applications. The regulation of 233 genes, which are involved in the stress response according to the literature, was examined via microarray experiments. In addition, a screening was carried out identifying 115 genes, which are hitherto not known to be comprised in the stress response, but which were significantly up‐regulated during starvation. 相似文献

Summary The fidelity of translation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is controlled by a number of gene products. We have begun a molecular analysis of such genes and here describe the cloning and analysis of one of these genes, SAL3. Mutations at this locus, and at least four other unlinked loci (designated SAL1-SAL5), increase the efficiency of the tRNA ochre suppressor SUQ5, and are thus termed allosuppressors. We have cloned the SAL3 gene from a yeast genomic library by complementation of a sal3 mutation. Integration of the cloned sequence into the yeast chromosome was used to confirm that the SAL3 gene had been cloned. SAL3 gene is present in a single copy in the yeast genome, is transcribed into a 2.3-kb polyadenylated mRNA and encodes a protein of Mr 80 000. The size of the SAL3 gene product strongly suggests that it is not a ribosomal protein. 相似文献

Aims: To determine the chromosomal location and entire sequence of Lg-FLO1, the expression of which causes the flocculation of bottom-fermenting yeast. Methods and Results: Two cosmid clones carrying DNA from a bottom-fermenting yeast chromosome VIII right-arm end were selected by colony hybridization. Sequencing revealed that the clones contained DNA derived from a Saccharomyces cerevisiae type chromosome VIII and a Saccharomyces bayanus type chromosome VIII, both from bottom-fermenting yeast. Conclusions: Lg-FLO1 is located on the S. cerevisiae type chromosome VIII at the same position as the FLO5 gene of the laboratory yeast S. cerevisiae S288c. The unique chromosome VIII structure of bottom-fermenting yeast is conserved among other related strains. FLO5 and Lg-FLO1 promoter sequences are identical except for the presence of three 42 bp repeats in the latter, which are associated with gene activity. Flocculin genes might have been generated by chromosomal recombination at these repeats. Significance and Impact of the Study: This is the first report of the exact chromosomal location and entire sequence of Lg-FLO1. This information will be useful in the brewing industry for the identification of normal bottom-fermenting yeast. Moreover, variations in the FLO5 locus among strains are thought to reflect yeast evolution. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and analysis of strictosidine beta-D-glucosidase, an enzyme in terpenoid indole alkaloid biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Strictosidine beta-D-glucosidase (SGD) is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs) by converting strictosidine to cathenamine. The biosynthetic pathway toward strictosidine is thought to be similar in all TIA-producing plants. Somewhere downstream of strictosidine formation, however, the biosynthesis diverges to give rise to the different TIAs found. SGD may play a role in creating this biosynthetic diversity. We have studied SGD at both the molecular and enzymatic levels. Based on the homology between different plant beta-glucosidases, degenerate polymerase chain reaction primers were designed and used to isolate a cDNA clone from a Catharanthus roseus cDNA library. A full-length clone gave rise to SGD activity when expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. SGD shows approximately 60% homology at the amino acid level to other beta-glucosidases from plants and is encoded by a single-copy gene. Sgd expression is induced by methyl jasmonate with kinetics similar to those of two other genes acting prior to Sgd in TIA biosynthesis. These results show that coordinate induction of the biosynthetic genes forms at least part of the mechanism for the methyl jasmonate-induced increase in TIA production. Using a novel in vivo staining method, subcellular localization studies of SGD were performed. This showed that SGD is most likely associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, which is in accordance with the presence of a putative signal sequence, but in contrast to previous localization studies. This new insight in SGD localization has significant implications for our understanding of the complex intracellular trafficking of metabolic intermediates during TIA biosynthesis. 相似文献

The release of the complete genome sequence of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has ushered in a new phase of genome research in which sequence function will be assigned. The goal is to determine the biological function of each of the >6,000 open reading frames in the yeast genome. Innovative approaches have been developed that exploit the sequence data and yield information about gene expression levels, protein levels, subcellular localization and gene function for the entire genome. 相似文献

The completion of the DNA sequence of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulted in the identification of a large number of genes. However, the function of most of these genes is not known. One of the best ways to determine gene function is to carry out mutational and phenotypic analysis. In recent years, several approaches have been developed for the mutational analysis of yeast genes on a large scale. These include transposon-based insertional mutagenesis, and systematic deletions using PCR-based approaches. These projects have produced collections of yeast strains and plasmid alleles that can be screened using novel approaches. Analysis of these collections by the scientific community promises to reveal a great deal of biological information about this organism. 相似文献

This paper reports the genomic analysis of strain CBS732 of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, a homothallic diploid yeast. We explored the sequences of 4934 random sequencing tags of about 1 kb in size and compared them to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene products. Approximately 2250 nuclear genes, 57 tRNAs, the rDNA locus, the endogenous pSR1 plasmid and 15 mitochondrial genes were identified. According to 18S and 25S rRNA cladograms and to synteny analysis, Z. rouxii could be placed among the S. cerevisiae sensu lato yeasts. 相似文献
