Isolation of the gene for cytochrome P450L1A1 (lanosterol 14 alpha-demethylase) from Candida albicans 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytochrome P450 L1A1 (lanosterol 14 alpha-demethylase)-coding gene was used as a hybridization probe to isolate two HindIII fragments of 2.5 kb and 6.85 kb from a phage lambda library of Candida albicans nucleotide sequences. Restriction endonuclease mapping and Southern blot hybridization experiments indicated that these fragments represent two allelic forms of the same gene. This cloned sequence, when introduced into S. cerevisiae or C. albicans on a multiple copy vector, produced an increase in cytochrome P450 content and resistance to imidazole antifungal agents which are inhibitors of cytochrome P450 L1A1. In addition, the cloned sequence was able to complement a cytochrome P450 L1A1 gene disruption when introduced into S. cerevisiae. These data indicate that the cloned sequence codes for the lanosterol 14 alpha-demethylase cytochrome P450 L1A1 from C. albicans. 相似文献

A multispecies-based taxonomic microarray targeting coding sequences of diverged orthologous genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces paradoxus, Saccharomyces mikatae, Saccharomyces bayanus, Saccharomyces kudriavzevii, Naumovia castellii, Lachancea kluyveri and Candida glabrata was designed to allow identification of isolates of these species and their interspecies hybrids. Analysis of isolates of several Saccharomyces species and interspecies hybrids demonstrated the ability of the microarray to differentiate these yeasts on the basis of their specific hybridization patterns. Subsequent analysis of 183 supposed S. cerevisiae isolates of various ecological and geographical backgrounds revealed one misclassified S. bayanus or Saccharomyces uvarum isolate and four aneuploid interspecies hybrids, one between S. cerevisiae and S. bayanus and three between S. cerevisiae and S. kudriavzevii . Furthermore, this microarray design allowed the detection of multiple introgressed S. paradoxus DNA fragments in the genomes of three different S. cerevisiae isolates. These results show the power of multispecies-based microarrays as taxonomic tools for the identification of species and interspecies hybrids, and their ability to provide a more detailed characterization of interspecies hybrids and recombinants. 相似文献

A rapid and sensitive microarray assay for the detection of HCV-1b was developed in our laboratory and a cDNA fragment library
for HCV-1b cDNA microarray probes was constructed. The full-length cDNAs of HCV-1b were digested with restriction endonuclease
Sau3A I and the fragments were cloned with the pMD18-T vectors. Positive clones were isolated and identified by sequencing. The
cDNA microarray was prepared by spotting the gene fragment on the surface of an amido-modified glass slide using the robotics
system and samples were fluorescent labeled by the restriction display PCR (RD-PCR) technique, In the present study, modified
protocols were used for probe selection and hybridization temperature. The detection of a microarray was validated by the
hybridization and the sequence analysis. A total of 22 different specific gene fragments of HCV-1b ranging from 250 to 750
bp were isolated and sequenced, and these fragments were further used as probes in the microarray preparation. The diagnostic
validity of the microarray method was evaluated after the washing and scanning process. The results of hybridization and sequence
data analysis showed a significant specificity and sensitivity in the detection of HCV-1b RNA. The method of preparing microarray
probes by construction of cDNA fragments library was effective, rapid, and simple; the optimized microarray was sensitive
in the clinical detection of HCV-1b. The RD-PCR technique for the sample labeling was useful for significantly increasing
the sensitivity of the assay. The cDNA microarray assay can be widely used in the clinical diagnosis of HCV-1b. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequence of the GDH gene coding for the NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The isolation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene for NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP-GDH) by cross hybridization to the Neurospora crassa am gene, known to encode for NADP-GDH is described. Two DNA fragments selected from a yeast genomic library in phage lambda gt11 were shown by restriction analysis to share 2.5 kb of common sequence. A yeast shuttle vector (CV13) carrying either to the cloned fragments complements the gdh- strain of S. cerevisiae and directs substantial overproduction of NADP-GDH. One of the cloned fragments was sequenced, and the deduced amino acid (aa) sequence of the yeast NADP-GDH is 64% homologous to N. crassa, 51% to Escherichia coli and 24% to bovine NADP-GDHs. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains a large family of genes related to hsp70, the major heat shock-inducible gene of Drosophila melanogaster. One subfamily, identified by sequence homology, contains four genes, SSA1, SSA2, SSA3, and SSA4 (formerly YG100, YG102, YG106, and YG107, respectively). Previous studies showed that strains containing mutations in SSA1 and SSA2 are temperature sensitive for growth. SSA4, which is normally heat inducible and not expressed during vegetative growth, is expressed at high levels in ssa1 ssa2 strains at 23 degrees C. We constructed mutations in SSA3 and SSA4 and analyzed strains carrying mutations in the four genes. Strains carrying mutations in SSA3 SSA4 or SSA3 and SSA4 were indistinguishable from the wild type. However, ssa1 ssa2 ssa4 strains were inviable. SSA3, like SSA4, is a heat-inducible gene that is not normally expressed at 23 degrees C. Nevertheless, an intact copy of SSA3 regulated by the constitutive SSA2 promoter was capable of rescuing a ssa1 ssa2 ssa4 strain. This indicates that SSA3 encodes a functional protein and that the SSA1, SSA2, SSA3, and SSA4 gene products are functionally similar. 相似文献

We propose a new method for identifying and validating drug targets by using gene networks, which are estimated from cDNA microarray gene expression profile data. We created novel gene disruption and drug response microarray gene expression profile data libraries for the purpose of drug target elucidation. We use two types of microarray gene expression profile data for estimating gene networks and then identifying drug targets. The estimated gene networks play an essential role in understanding drug response data and this information is unattainable from clustering methods, which are the standard for gene expression analysis. In the construction of gene networks, we use the Bayesian network model. We use an actual example from analysis of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene expression profile data to express a concrete strategy for the application of gene network information to drug discovery. 相似文献

Mitochondrial DNA from wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae and from an "extreme" petite mutant were analyzed by hybridization of several tRNAs on DNA fragments of different buoyant density, obtained by sonication and fractionation on a CsCl gradient. The hybridization patterns show that the genes for tRNAser, tRNAphe, tRNAhis, tRNAval, tRNAileu are present on wild-type mitochondrial DNA, while only genes for tRNAser and tRNAhis are present on petite mitochondrial DNA; moreover the hybridization patterns indicate that these genes are not clustered and suggest that more than one gene might exist for tRNAser and tRNAhis. 相似文献

A series of 18 small overlapping restriction fragments has been cloned, covering the complete mitochondrial genome of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. By hybridizing mitochondrial gene probes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Neurospora crassa with restriction fragments of Schizosaccharomyces pombe mitochondrial DNA, the following homologous genes were localized on the mitochondrial genome of S. pombe: cob, cox1, cox2 and cox3, ATPase subunit 6 and 9 genes, the large rRNA gene and both types of open reading frames occurring in mitochondrial introns of various ascomycetes. The region of the genome, hybridizing with cob exon probes is separated by an intervening sequence of about 2500 bp, which is homologous with the first two introns of the cox1 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (class II introns according to Michel et al. 1982). Similarly, in the cox1 homologous region, which covers about 4000 bp, two regions were detected hybridizing with class I intron probes, suggesting the existence of two cox1 introns in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Hybridization with several specific exon probes with a determined order has revealed that cob, cox1, cox3 and the large rRNA gene are all transcribed from the same DNA strand. The low intensities of hybridization signals suggest a large evolutionary distance between Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Neurospora crassa mitochondrial genes. Considering the length of the mitochondrial DNA of Schizosaccharomyces pombe (about 19.4 kbp) and the expected length of the localized genes and intron sequences there is enough space left for encoding the expected set of tRNAs and the small rRNA gene. The existence of leader-, trailer-, ori- and spacer sequences or further unassigned reading frames is then restricted to a total length of about 3000 bp only. 相似文献

Abstract Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of chromosomal DNA and hybridization with the MEL1 probe, we determined the chromosomal locations of polymeric α-galactosidase genes in monosporic cultures of natural strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae . An unusual phenomenon consisting of an accumulation of the MEL genes has been found in some specific Saccharomyces cerevisiae populations. Many strains possessed a new MEL gene located on chromosome I. 相似文献

To obtain a better understanding of the genome-wide distribution and the nature of large sequence polymorphisms (LSPs) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we hybridized genomic DNA of 88 haploid or homozygous diploid S. cerevisiae strains of diverse geographic origins and source substrates onto high-density tiling arrays. On the basis of loss of hybridization, we identified 384 LSPs larger than 500 bp that were located in 188 non-overlapping regions of the genome. Validation by polymerase chain reaction-amplification and/or DNA sequencing revealed that 39 LSPs were due to deletions, whereas 74 LSPs involved sequences diverged far enough from the S288c reference genome sequence as to prevent hybridization to the microarray features. The LSP locations were biased toward the subtelomeric regions of chromosomes, where high genetic variation in genes involved in transport or fermentation is thought to facilitate rapid adaptation of S. cerevisiae to new environments. The diverged LSP sequences appear to have different allelic ancestries and were in many cases identified as Saccharomyces paradoxus introgressions. 相似文献

TIP 1, a cold shock-inducible gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Using differential hybridization, genes whose expression is induced at low temperatures were identified in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. One of these genes that corresponds to an mRNA that is induced 6-8-fold within 2 h after shifting the culture temperature from 30 to 10 degrees C was further characterized. Surprisingly, its expression was also induced by heat shock, and thus the gene was designated TIP 1 (temperature shock-inducible protein gene). Southern hybridization analysis demonstrated that there are several genes homologous to the TIP 1 gene on the yeast genome. A TIP 1 disruption mutation exerted an observable effect neither on growth nor on viability after being exposed to freezing temperatures. The TIP 1 gene encodes a protein of 210 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 20,727, containing 20.0% alanine and 23.3% serine. The TIP 1 protein has a typical signal peptide at the amino-terminal end and an extremely hydrophobic sequence at the carboxyl-terminal end. The TIP 1 protein is thus likely to be secreted across the membrane and anchored on the outside surface of the plasma membrane. These results indicate that the TIP 1 protein is a new type of stress inducible protein in yeast. 相似文献

The commonly used genetic approaches in yeast are designed to identify defects in cell/colony growth. In order to identify genes which control molecular mechanisms during quiescence ('stationary phase'), different tactics are required. We describe the development of a new genetic approach based on the previous observations that gene expression in quiescent Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells is largely repressed. For studying the mechanism controlling the repression of gene expression in stationary phase, we use UBI4-lacZ as a reporter gene. The product of this fusion gene was shown previously to encode an unstable protein in dividing cells. We show here that it is also unstable in stationary cells. We demonstrate that the relatively short half-life of this reporter protein can be utilized to monitor the dynamics of the repression of gene expression during stationary phase in liquid culture, using ACT1 or SSA3 promoters as the model promoters. By adapting a colony color test, we show that the reporter gene can also be used to monitor gene expression in quiescent colonies, thus serving as a tool to screen for defects in the regulation of this process during growth arrest. The utility of the approach was demonstrated by confirming the defects of top1Delta and bcy1Delta cells to appropriately express the ACT1p-UBI4-lacZ in stationary phase. The mutant colonies were easily discernible from wild-type colonies by our color test. Finally, using SSA3p-UBI4-lacZ as the reporter gene, we found that the 5'-untranslated region of SSA3 mRNA is sufficient to repress translation of the reporter mRNA after entry of the cells into stationary phase. The possibility that the short length of the SSA3 5'-untranslated region is a major determinant of the inefficient translation of SSA3p-UBI4-lacZ in stationary phase is discussed. 相似文献

We propose a new statistical method for constructing a genetic network from microarray gene expression data by using a Bayesian network. An essential point of Bayesian network construction is the estimation of the conditional distribution of each random variable. We consider fitting nonparametric regression models with heterogeneous error variances to the microarray gene expression data to capture the nonlinear structures between genes. Selecting the optimal graph, which gives the best representation of the system among genes, is still a problem to be solved. We theoretically derive a new graph selection criterion from Bayes approach in general situations. The proposed method includes previous methods based on Bayesian networks. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through the analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene expression data newly obtained by disrupting 100 genes. 相似文献
