UV-inducible proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 1985

Two UV-inducible proteins have been detected in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The proteins have molecular weights of 78,000 Daltons and 23,000 Daltons. This induction is specific for UV-irradiation as exposure to X-rays, mitomycin C and heat shock does not result in the synthesis of the proteins. The larger (78 kD) protein is induced in various rad strains and in a rho degree cir degree strain. Attempts are being made to isolate the genes coding for these inducible proteins.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008937	Mitomycins	A group of methylazirinopyrroloindolediones obtained from certain Streptomyces strains. They are very toxic antibiotics used as ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS in some solid tumors. PORFIROMYCIN and MITOMYCIN are the most useful members of the group.
D008970	Molecular Weight	The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule.	Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular

D012441	Saccharomyces cerevisiae	A species of the genus SACCHAROMYCES, family Saccharomycetaceae, order Saccharomycetales, known as "baker's" or "brewer's" yeast. The dried form is used as a dietary supplement.

D014466	Ultraviolet Rays	That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.

D016685	Mitomycin	An antineoplastic antibiotic produced by Streptomyces caespitosus. It is one of the bi- or tri-functional ALKYLATING AGENTS causing cross-linking of DNA and inhibition of DNA synthesis.
