Mitochondrial and nuclear mutations that affect the biogenesis of the mitochondrial ribosomes of yeast. II. Biochemistry. 1979

F Sor, and G Faye

1. Several nuclear mutants have been isolated which showed thermo- or cryo-sensitive growth on non-fermentable media. Although the original strain carried mitochondrial drug resistance mutations (CR, ER, OR and PR), the resistance to one or several drugs was suppressed in these mutants. Two of them showed a much reduced amount of the mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit (37S) and of the corresponding 16S ribosomal RNA. Two dimensional electrophoretic analysis did not reveal any change in the position of any of the mitochondrial ribosomal proteins. However one of the mitochondrial ribosomal proteins. However one of the mutants showed a striking decrease in the amounts of three ribosomal proteins S3, S4 and S15. 2. Four temperature-sensitive mitochondrial mutations have been localized in the region of the gene coding for the large mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (23S). These mutants all showed a marked anomaly in the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (50S) and/or the corresponding 23S ribosomal RNA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D002874 Chromosome Mapping Any method used for determining the location of and relative distances between genes on a chromosome. Gene Mapping,Linkage Mapping,Genome Mapping,Chromosome Mappings,Gene Mappings,Genome Mappings,Linkage Mappings,Mapping, Chromosome,Mapping, Gene,Mapping, Genome,Mapping, Linkage,Mappings, Chromosome,Mappings, Gene,Mappings, Genome,Mappings, Linkage
D004272 DNA, Mitochondrial Double-stranded DNA of MITOCHONDRIA. In eukaryotes, the mitochondrial GENOME is circular and codes for ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, and about 10 proteins. Mitochondrial DNA,mtDNA
D004351 Drug Resistance Diminished or failed response of an organism, disease or tissue to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should be differentiated from DRUG TOLERANCE which is the progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, as a result of continued administration. Resistance, Drug
D012269 Ribosomal Proteins Proteins found in ribosomes. They are believed to have a catalytic function in reconstituting biologically active ribosomal subunits. Proteins, Ribosomal,Ribosomal Protein,Protein, Ribosomal
D012270 Ribosomes Multicomponent ribonucleoprotein structures found in the CYTOPLASM of all cells, and in MITOCHONDRIA, and PLASTIDS. They function in PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS via GENETIC TRANSLATION. Ribosome
D012331 RNA, Fungal Ribonucleic acid in fungi having regulatory and catalytic roles as well as involvement in protein synthesis. Fungal RNA
D012335 RNA, Ribosomal The most abundant form of RNA. Together with proteins, it forms the ribosomes, playing a structural role and also a role in ribosomal binding of mRNA and tRNAs. Individual chains are conventionally designated by their sedimentation coefficients. In eukaryotes, four large chains exist, synthesized in the nucleolus and constituting about 50% of the ribosome. (Dorland, 28th ed) Ribosomal RNA,15S RNA,RNA, 15S
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.
