High impact information on RPS17B

  • We altered the RP51 gene dose by creating deletions of the RP51A or RP51B genes or both [1].
  • Rap1p DNA-binding sites in ribosomal protein gene promoters are mainly UASrpg-like; their replacement by telomeric sequences in one of these promoters (RPS17B) decreased transcription by two-thirds [2].
 

Biological context of RPS17B

  • The cloned genes, in combination with the one-step gene disruption techniques of Rothstein (R. J. Rothstein, Methods Enzymol. 101:202-211, 1983), were used to generate haploid strains containing mutations in the RP51A or RP51B genes or in both [3].
 

Other interactions of RPS17B

  • The results of Northern blot and primer extension experiments indicate that strains with a wild-type copy of the RP51B gene and a mutant (or deleted) RP51A gene grow slowly because of an insufficient amount of RP51 mRNA [3].
