Isolation and Characterization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mutants
Aculeacin A is a lipopeptide that inhibits ,B-glucan synthesis in yeasts. A number of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants resistant to this antibiotic were isolated, and four loci (ACRI, ACR2, ACR3, and ACR4) whose products are involved in the sensitivity to aculeacin A of yeast ceils were defined. Mutants containing mutations in the four loci were also resistant to echinocandin B, another member ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of MMS-sensitive mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
We have isolated mutants sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Alleles of rad1, rad4, rad52, rad55 and rad57 were found amoung these mms mutants. Twenty-nine of the mms mutants which complement the existing radiation-sensitive (rad and rev) mutants belong to 22 new complementation groups. Mutants from five complementation groups are sensitive only to MMS. Mutan...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae glycolytic pathway mutants.
Yeast strains carrying recessive mutations representing four different loci that cause defects in pyruvate kinase, pyruvate decarboxylase, 3-phosphoglycerate kinase, and 3-phosphoglycerate mutase were isolated and partially characterized. Cells carrying these mutations were unable to use glucose as a carbon source as measured in turbidimetric growth experiments. Tetrad analysis indicated that t...
متن کاملMutants defective in Rad1-Rad10-Slx4 exhibit a unique pattern of viability during mating-type switching in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Efficient repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) requires the coordination of checkpoint signaling and enzymatic repair functions. To study these processes during gene conversion at a single chromosomal break, we monitored mating-type switching in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains defective in the Rad1-Rad10-Slx4 complex. Rad1-Rad10 is a structure-specific endonuclease that removes 3' nonhomo...
متن کاملMutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with defects in acetate metabolism: isolation and characterization of Acn- mutants.
The two carbon compounds, ethanol and acetate, can be oxidatively metabolized as well as assimilated into carbohydrate in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The distribution of acetate metabolic enzymes among several cellular compartments, mitochondria, peroxisomes, and cytoplasm makes it an intriguing system to study complex metabolic interactions. To investigate the complex process of carbon...
