Yeast as a screening tool.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The versatile genetic malleability of yeast, and the high degree of conservation between its cellular processes and those of human cells, have made it the model of choice for pioneering research in molecular and cell biology over the past four decades. These characteristics of yeast, taken together with technical advantages such as simple growth conditions, rapid cell division and the development of a wealth of genetic tools for analysis of biological functions, have expanded the application of yeast as screening tool to the field of drug discovery.:

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used for the process of fermentation as well as for studies in biochemistry and molecular biology as a eukaryotic model cell or tool for the analysis of gene functions. Thus, yeast is essential in industries and researches. Yeast cells have a cell wall, which is one characteristic that helps distinguish yeast cells from other eukaryotic cells ...
متن کاملBudding yeast as a screening tool for discovery of nucleoside analogs for use in HSV-1 TK suicide-gene therapy.
We present a fast, convenient and inexpensive method that allows the automated, large-scale screening of chemical libraries for compounds that are converted by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) thymidine kinase (TK) into inhibitors of cell growth. The method is based on the use of budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) transformed with the HSV-1 TK gene on a multicopy plasmid. Eight nuc...
متن کاملConstruction of a convenient system for easily screening inhibitors of mutated influenza virus neuraminidases☆
Neuraminidase (NA) is a surface glycoprotein produced by the influenza virus. Specific NA mutations that confer resistance to anti-viral drugs have been reported. The aim of this study was to demonstrate quick preparation of the mutated NAs using the yeast surface display and its applicability for screening inhibitors. Plasmids encoding the head domain of wild-type and drug-resistant NAs were c...
