Cloning and restriction analysis of the hexokinase PII gene of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 1984

K U Fröhlich, and K D Entian, and D Mecke

Carbon catabolite repression in yeast depends on catalytic active hexokinase isoenzyme PII ( Entian 1980a ). A yeast strain lacking hexokinase isoenzymes PI and PII was transformed, using a recombinant pool with inserts of yeast nuclear DNA up to 10 kbp in length. One hundred transformants for hexokinase were obtained. All selected plasmids coded for hexokinase isoenzyme PII, none for hexokinase isoenzyme PI, and carbon catabolite repression was restored in the transformants. Thirty-five independently isolated stable plasmids were investigated further. Analysis with the restriction enzyme EcoRI showed that these plasmids fell into two classes with different restriction behaviour. One representative of each class was amplified in Escherichia coli and transferred back into the yeast hexokinase-deficient strain with concomitant complementation of the nuclear mutation. The two types of insert were analysed in detail with 16 restriction enzymes, having 0-3 cleavage sites on transformant vector YRp7 . The plasmids differed from each other by the orientation of the yeast insert in the vector. After yeast transformation with fragments of one plasmid the hexokinase PII gene was localised within a region of 1.65 kbp.

D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
