New mutant types at the ade3 locus of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract:

:Six mutants, allelic to ade3, were isolated after mutagenic treatment of a prototrophic strain of yeast. All six grow on medium supplemented with adenine alone and four respond to histidine. Supplementation with adenine plus histidine or methionine inhibits growth, but a mixture of these three is stimulatory. Heteroallelic diploids formed by the new mutants with the standard ade3 can resemble either parent or show an intermediate phenotype. The new mutants, unlike standard ade3, are not fully epistatic to ade2. The activities of three enzymes concerned in tetrahydrofolate metabolism have been assayed in the new and standard ade3 mutants and wild type. The only difference detected between the new and standard ade3 was in the levels of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase. Activity in the new mutants ranged from 36 to 109% of wild type compared with 10 to 12% in the standard ade3. Possible mechanisms to account for the varied phenotypes at the ade3 locus are discussed.

  • Cyclic AMP in mycobacteria: characterization and functional role of the Rv1647 ortholog in Mycobacterium smegmatis.

    abstract::Mycobacterial genomes are endowed with many eukaryote-like nucleotide cyclase genes encoding proteins that can synthesize 3',5'-cyclic AMP (cAMP). However, the roles of cAMP and the need for such redundancy in terms of adenylyl cyclase genes remain unknown. We measured cAMP levels in Mycobacterium smegmatis during gro...
