概括
酵母三酶是一种分解三糖的酶,有两种形式:中性和酸性. 虽然基因组数据表明第二个中性三酶基因 (NTH2),但实验证据表明它缺乏活动和功能.
科学领域:
- 生物化学 生物化学
- 分子生物学分子生物学
- 酵母遗传学 酵母遗传学
背景情况:
- 三酶酶水解三,这是一种对酵母抗压力至关重要的脱糖体.
- 酵母具有截然不同的中性 (NTH1) 和酸性 (ATH1) 三酶,由单独的基因编码.
- 基因组数据表明,一些酵母具有第二个中性三酶基因 (NTH2),是NTH1.1的类型.
研究的目的:
- 调查酵母中假定中性三酶2 (NTH2) 基因在酵母中的功能作用.
- 为了使基因组预测与关于NTH2活动的实验观测相协调.
主要方法:
- 在酵母中NTH1和NTH2的基因破坏 (无突变).
- 生物化学测试以测量中性三酶活性.
- 表型分析,包括热耐受性评估.
主要成果:
- NTH2基因产物 (Nth2p) 没有可测量的中性三酶活性.
- 单独或与NTH1一起破坏NTH2不会影响中性三酶活性.
- 在NTH2中断时,除了轻微的耐热效应外,没有显著的表型.
结论:
- 尽管有基因组预测,但实验证据并不支持NTH2编码功能中性三酶.
- 在一些酵母中提出的重复NTH基因系统需要进一步验证.
- Nth2p的确切作用和调节在很大程度上是未知的.

Yeast Signaling
14.6K
Yeasts are single-celled organisms, but unlike bacteria, they are eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus). Cell signaling in yeast is similar to signaling in other eukaryotic cells. A ligand, such as a protein or a small molecule released from a yeast cell, attaches to a receptor on the cell surface. The binding stimulates second-messenger kinases to activate or inactivate transcription factors that further regulate gene expression. Many of the yeast intracellular signaling cascades have similar...

Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay
10.6K
The Upf proteins that carry out nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) are found in all eukaryotic organisms, including humans. Each protein has an individual role, but they need to work in collaboration. Upf1 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that unwinds the RNA helix. Because Upf1 can unwind any RNA, Upf2 and Upf3 are required to help Upf1 discriminate between nonsense and normal mRNAs.
Usually, Upf3 binds to an Exon Junction Complex (EJC) at mRNA splice sites. If a ribosome fully translates the mRNA,...
