Yeast metallothionein, encoded by the CUP1 gene, and its copper-dependent transcriptional activator ACE1 play a key role in mediating copper resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using an ethyl methanesulfonate mutant of a yeast strain in which CUP1 and ACE1 were deleted, we isolated a gene, designated CUP9, which permits yeast cells to grow at high concentrations of environmental copper, most notably when lactate is the sole carbon source.

Abstract:
In yeast, Ace1p-dependent induction of CUP1 is responsible for protecting cells from copper toxicity. Although the mechanism of yeast CUP1 induction has been studied intensively, it is still uncertain which chromatin remodelers are involved in CUP1 transcriptional activation. Here, we show that yeast cells are inviable in the presence of copper when either chromatin remodeler, Ino80p or Snf2p, is not present. This inviability is due to the lack of CUP1 expression in ino80Δ and snf2Δ cells. Subsequently, we observe that both Ino80p and Snf2p are present at the promoter and they are responsible

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The relationship between chromatin remodeling and histone acetylation at the yeast CUP1 gene was addressed. CUP1 encodes a metallothionein required for cell growth at high copper concentrations. Induction of CUP1 with copper resulted in targeted acetylation of both H3 and H4 at the CUP1 promoter. Nucleosomes containing upstream activating sequences and sequences farther upstream were the targets for H3 acetylation. Targeted acetylation of H3 and H4 required the transcriptional activator (Ace1p) and the TATA boxes, suggesting that targeted acetylation occurs when TATA-binding protein b

ABSTRACT The baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses a single gene encoding heat shock transcription factor (HSF), which is required for the activation of genes that participate in stress protection as well as normal growth and viability. Yeast HSF (yHSF) contains two distinct transcriptional activation regions located at the amino and carboxyl termini. Activation of the yeast metallothionein gene, CUP1, depends on a nonconsensus heat shock element (HSE), occurs at higher temperatures than other heat shock-responsive genes, and is highly dependent on the carboxyl-terminal transactivat

Abstract:
The RAD52 gene product of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is required for most spontaneous recombination and almost all double-strand break (DSB) repair. In contrast to recombination elsewhere in the genome, recombination in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) array is RAD52 independent. To determine the fate of a DSB in the rDNA gene array, a cut site for the HO endonuclease was inserted into the rDNA in a strain containing an inducible HO gene. DSBs were efficiently repaired at this site, even in the absence of the RAD52 gene product. Efficient RAD52-independent DSB repair was also observed at anoth

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Yeast (CUP1) and mammalian (HMT-1A) metallothioneins (MTs) have been efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli as fusions to the outer membrane protein LamB. A 65-amino-acid sequence from the CUP1 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast [Y] MT) was genetically inserted in permissive site 153 of the LamB sequence, which faces the outer medium. A second LamB fusion at position 153 was created with 66 amino acids recruited from the form of human (H) MT that is predominant in the adipose tissue, HMT-1A. Both LamB153-YMT and LamB153-HMT hybrids were produced in vivo as full-length prote

Abstract:
The ACE1 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was expressed as a trpE-ACE1 fusion protein in Escherichia coli and shown to bind CUP1 upstream activation sequences at multiple regions in a copper-inducible manner. These binding sites contain within them the sequence 5'-TC(T)4-6GCTG-3', which we propose constitutes an important part of the ACE1 consensus recognition sequence.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen which poses a major threat to long-term-hospitalized patients and individuals with cystic fibrosis. The capacity of P. aeruginosa to form biofilms is an important requirement for chronic colonization of human tissues and for persistence in implanted medical devices. Various stages of biofilm formation by this organism are mediated by extracellular appendages, such as type IV pili and flagella. Recently, we identified three P. aeruginosa gene clusters that were termed cup (chaperone-usher pathway) based on their sequence rel

Plant transcription factors are involved in different developmental pathways. NAC transcription factors (No Apical Meristem, Arabidopsis thaliana Activating Factor, Cup-shaped Cotyledon) act in various processes, e.g., plant organ formation, response to stress, and defense mechanisms. In Antirrhinum majus, the NAC transcription factor CUPULIFORMIS (CUP) plays a role in determining organ boundaries and lip formation, and the CUP homologs of Arabidopsis and Petunia are involved in flower organ formation.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Cyanophycin [multi-l-arginyl-poly(l-aspartic acid) (CGP)] was, for the first time, produced in yeast. As yeasts are very important production organisms in biotechnology, it was determined if CGP can be produced in two different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The episomal vector systems pESC (with the galactose-inducible promoter GAL1) and pYEX-BX (with the copper ion-inducible promoter CUP1) were chosen to express the cyanophycin synthetase gene from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6308 (cphA 6308) in yeast.
