X Abstract

cyr1-2 is a temperature-sensitive mutation of the yeast adenylate cyclase structural gene, CYR1. The cyr1-2 mutation has been suggested to be a UGA mutation since a UGA suppressor SUP201 has been isolated as a suppressor of the cyr1-2 mutation. Construction of chimeric genes restricted the region containing the cyr1-2 mutation, and the cyr1-2 UGA mutation was identified at codon 1282, which lies upstream of the region coding for the catalytic domain of adenylate cyclase. Alterations in the region upstream of the cyr1-2 mutation site result in null mutations. The complete open reading frame of the cyr1-2 gene expressed under the control of the GAL1 promoter complemented cyr1-d1 in a galactose-dependent manner. These results suggest that at the permissive temperature weak readthrough occurs at the cyr1-2 mutation site to produce low levels of active adenylate cyclase. An endogenous suppressor in yeast cells is assumed to be responsible for this readthrough.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
