ABSTRACT

The invasive and filamentous growth forms of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are adaptations to specific environmental conditions, under particular conditions of limited nutrient availability. Both growth forms are dependent on the expression of the FLO11 gene, which encodes a cell-wall-associated glycoprotein involved in cellular adhesion. A complex regulatory network consisting of signaling pathways and transcription factors has been associated with the regulation of FLO11. Mss11p ...

Identification of Novel Activation Mechanisms for FLO11 Regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Genetics ; ABSTRACT Adhesins play a central role in the cellular response of eukaryotic microorganisms to their host environment. In pathogens such as Candida spp. and other fungi, adhesins are responsible for adherence to mammalian tissues, and in Saccharomyces spp. yeasts also confer adherence to solid
Cumulative Mutations Affecting Sterol Biosynthesis in the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae Result in Synthetic Lethality That Is Suppressed by Alterations in Sphingolipid Profiles
Genetics ; ABSTRACT UPC2 and ECM22 belong to a Zn(2)-Cys(6) family of fungal transcription factors and have been implicated in the regulation of sterol synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans. Previous reports suggest that double deletion of these genes in S. cerevisiae is lethal depending
The Histone Deubiquitinating Enzyme Ubp10 Is Involved in rDNA Locus Control in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Affecting Sir2p Association
Genetics ; ABSTRACT Histone modifications influence chromatin structure and thus regulate the accessibility of DNA to replication, recombination, repair, and transcription. We show here that the histone deubiquitinating enzyme Ubp10 contributes to the formation/maintenance of silenced chromatin at the rDNA by
A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in the DNA Polymerase Gamma Gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Laboratory Strains Is Responsible for Increased Mitochondrial DNA Mutability
Genetics ; ABSTRACT In the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains used for genome sequencing and functional analysis, the mitochondrial DNA replicase Mip1p contains a single nucleotide polymorphism changing the strictly conserved threonine 661 to alanine. This substitution is responsible for the increased rate of

Translation Initiation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mitochondria: Functional Interactions Among Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein Rsm28p, Initiation Factor 2, Methionyl-tRNA-Formyltransferase and Novel Protein Rmd9p
Genetics ; ABSTRACT Rsm28p is a dispensable component of the mitochondrial ribosomal small subunit in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is not related to known proteins found in bacteria. It was identified as a dominant suppressor of certain mitochondrial mutations that reduced translation of the COX2 mRNA. To
A Role for Sterol Levels in Oxygen Sensing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Genetics ; ABSTRACT Upc2p and Ecm22p are a pair of transcription factors responsible for the basal and induced expression of genes encoding enzymes of ergosterol biosynthesis in yeast (ERG genes). Upc2p plays a second role as a regulator of hypoxically expressed genes. Both sterols and heme depend upon
Evidence That Spt10 and Spt21 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Play Distinct Roles in Vivo and Functionally Interact With MCB-Binding Factor, SCB-Binding Factor and Snf1
Genetics ; ABSTRACT Mutations in SPT10 and SPT21 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been previously shown to cause two prominent mutant phenotypes: (1) defects in transcription of particular histone genes and (2) suppression of Ty and δ-insertion mutations (Spt^sup -^ phenotype). The requirement for Spt10
Multiple regulatory mechanisms maintain zinc homeostasis in saccharomyces cerevisiae
The Journal of Nutrition ; ABSTRACT Zinc is an essential nutrient, yet it is toxic if it accumulates in excess amounts within cells; therefore the intracellular labile zinc content of cells is tightly controlled. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, zinc homeostasis is regulated by the controlled activity of zinc uptake transporters
