EXPRESSION OF HEPATITIS B SURFACE ANTIGEN IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE
The genome of HB V virus of serotype ayw cloned in pBR322 and expression shuttle vector p YES2 were used for construction of the HBsAg chimeric genes and their expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two recombinant plasmids were constructed. One of them contained the coding sequences for the major polypeptide of surface antigen. Another construct carried the major polypeptide with the pre-S2 a...
متن کاملThe Qo site of cytochrome b6f complexes controls the activation of the LHCII kinase.
We created a Qo pocket mutant by site-directed mutagenesis of the chloroplast petD gene in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. We mutated the conserved PEWY sequence in the EF loop of subunit IV into PWYE. The pwye mutant did not grow in phototrophic conditions although it assembled wild-type levels of cytochrome b6f complexes. We demonstrated a complete block in electron transfer through the cytochrome...
متن کاملCbp1 is required for translation of the mitochondrial cytochrome b mRNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Expression of the yeast mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (COB) is controlled by at least 15 nuclear-encoded proteins. One of these proteins, Cbp1, is required for COB mRNA stability. Delta cbp1 null strains fail to accumulate mature COB mRNA and cannot respire. Since Delta cbp1 null strains lack mature COB transcripts, the hypothesis that Cbp1 also plays a role in translation of these mRNAs coul...
متن کاملRecapitulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae of cytochrome b mutations conferring resistance to atovaquone in Pneumocystis jiroveci.
Pneumocystis jiroveci (human-derived P. carinii) is an opportunistic pathogenic fungus which causes pneumonia and is life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals. Spontaneously acquired resistance to atovaquone, a hydroxynaphthoquinone that is used to treat P. jiroveci infections, was linked to mutations in the mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b gene. Because P. jiroveci cannot be easily...
