Substrate activation of brewers' yeast pyruvate decarboxylase is abolished by mutation of cysteine 221 to serine.

TL;DR: Brewers' yeast pyruvate decarboxylase, a thiamin diphosphate and Mg(II)-dependent enzyme, isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses four cysteines/subunit at positions 69, 152, 221, and 222, and it is clearly shown that the mutation at C221, but not at C222, leads to abolished substrate activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonsense suppressors partially revert the decrease of the mRNA level of a nonsense mutant allele in yeast.

TL;DR: Suc2° is a naturally occurring amber mutant allele of the yeast invertase structural gene SUC2, which allows suc2° strains to ferment sucrose and causes an increase of the SUC-specific mRNA level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conditional Osmotic Stress in Yeast. A system to study transport through aquaglyceroporins and osmostress signaling

TL;DR: In this paper, the inability of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gpd1Δ gpd2Δ mutant to produce glycerol and to adapt to high osmolarity was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rewiring yeast osmostress signalling through the MAPK network reveals essential and non-essential roles of Hog1 in osmoadaptation

TL;DR: It is revealed that osmotic up-regulation of only two Hog1-dependent glycerol biosynthesis genes, GPD1 and GPP2, is sufficient for successful osmoadaptation and that knockout approaches may lead to over-interpretation of phenotypic data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implications of FPS1 deletion and membrane ergosterol content for glycerol efflux from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: Ergosterol supplementation was shown to partially suppress the hypo-osmotic sensitivity phenotype of the fps1delta strain, leading to more efficient glycerol efflux, and improved survival, and the results obtained suggest that a higher ergosterol content facilitates the flux of Glycerol across the plasma membrane of S. cerevisiae cells.
