Disease relevance of TRP5

 

High impact information on TRP5

  • Expression of the yeast tryptophan synthetase activity from the cloned yeast gene (trp5) is relatively inefficient in E. coli, as measured by growth rates of trpAB/pYe(trp5)1 strains on minimal media lacking tryptophan and by enzyme assays [3].
  • Plasmid DNA [pYe(trp5)2] from one of these variants was shown to contain a DNA insertion (1.3 kilobase pairs) in the cloned yeast DNA segment in relatively close proximity to the trp5 gene [3].
  • Control of expression of a cloned yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) gene (trp5) by a bacterial insertion element (IS2) [3].
  • The peak reversion frequency for lys5 is somewhat later, while the peaks for tyr3 and trp5 occur near the end of DNA replication [4].
  • The R388 plasmid-encoded drug-resistant type II dihydrofolate reductase gene (R . dhfr) was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by fusing the R . dhfr coding sequence to the yeast TRP5 promoter [5].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of TRP5

 

Biological context of TRP5

 

Associations of TRP5 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of TRP5

  • During mitosis, gene conversion events at the TRP5 locus on chromosome VII are coupled with conversion events at LEU1, a locus 18 cM away, 1200 times more frequently than would be expected for two independent acts of recombination [16].
 

Regulatory relationships of TRP5

 

Other interactions of TRP5

  • Within a 31 kb region from PMA1 towards TRP5, a total of 12 transcription products ranging from 0.6 to 3.6 kb were identified in cells grown exponentially on rich medium [9].
  • The plasmid-borne genes TRP2 to TRP5 were expressed and regulated normally in the frame of the general control [6].
  • In yeast, coincident gene conversion events involving the LEU1 and TRP5 loci (16 cM apart) occur at frequencies that are far greater than is expected for two independent acts of recombination [18].
  • The wild-type scl1+ gene was isolated by screening subclones of the 35-kb region between TRP5 and LEU1 for restoration of the ts phenotype in an SCL1-1 crl3-2 strain [19].
  • The systems comprise auxotrophic host strains (trp5 in the case of S. occidentalis; trp5-10, his3 in the case of P. stipitis) and suitable transformation vectors [12].
