Analysis and utilization of the preprotoxin gene encoded in the M1 double-stranded RNA of yeast
Abstract:
The yeast type 1 toxin is a secreted protein which, along with immunity to the toxin, is encoded by an encapsidated double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) as a precursor protein, the preprotoxin. This chapter reviews recent work that has led to sequencing of complementary DNA (cDNA) copies of the preprotoxin gene, expression of toxin and toxin-immunity from cDNA, and use of the cDNA to effect secretion from yeast of a bacterial cellulase.
