Selection and characterization of ricin toxin A-chain mutations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract:

:A DNA sequence encoding the A chain of ricin toxin (RTA) from the castor bean plant, Ricinus communis, was placed under GAL1 promoter control and transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Induction of expression of RTA was lethal. This lethality was the basis for a selection of mutations in RTA which inactivated the toxin. A number of mutant alleles which encoded cross-reactive material were sequenced. Eight of the first nine mutant RTAs studied showed single-amino-acid changes involving residues located in the proposed active-site cleft.

  • Tx1: a transposable element from Xenopus laevis with some unusual properties.

    abstract::A family of transposable genetic elements in the genome of the frog, Xenopus laevis, is described. They are designated Tx1. Transposability of the elements was deduced by characterization of a chromosomal locus which is polymorphic for the presence or absence of a Tx1 element. Nucleotide sequence analysis suggested th...
