YEAST GROWTH: SELF-INHIBITION BY YEAST

Respiratory mutant and liquid holding recovery inhibition in yeast cells

Background: Cell ability to recover from radiation damage is of great relevance in cancer treatment. It is often believed that the inhibition of cell ability to the liquid holding recovery (LHR) may be an indicator of the overall suppression of cell ability to recover from potentially lethal radiation damage. However, the literature contains no experimental evidence whether the LHR inhibition m...

pH dependence of the inhibition of yeast glyoxalase 1 by prophyrins

Growth inhibition of yeast by compactin (ML-236B) analogues.

Numbers in the parentheses represent relative activity to inhibit rat liver HMG-CoAreductase. The present communication deals with sensitivity of the growth of yeast strains to compactin. Of approximately 300 strains tested, 4 strains, Rhodotorula glutinis H3-9-1, Sporobolomyces salmonicolor WF 188, Aessosporon salmonicolor IFO 1845 and Citeromyces matritensis IFO 0954, were found to be sensiti...

Inhibition of growth by amber suppressors in yeast.

Strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that contain highly efficient amber (UAG) suppressors grow poorly on nutrient medium, while normal or nearly normal growth rates are observed when these strains lose the supressors or when the suppressors are mutated to lower efficiencies. The different growth rates account for the accumulation of mutants with lowered efficiencies in cultures of str...

Yeast peroxisomes multiply by growth and division

Peroxisomes can arise de novo from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via a maturation process. Peroxisomes can also multiply by fission. We have investigated how these modes of multiplication contribute to peroxisome numbers in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the role of the dynamin-related proteins (Drps) in these processes. We have developed pulse-chase and mating assays to follow the fate of exist...
