High impact information on PRS1

 

Biological context of PRS1

  • The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome contains a family of five PRS genes, PRS1-PRS5 [5].
  • Heterozygotes in PRS1 produced approximately 35% less PRPP synthetase (P = 0.0004) and exhibited a similar reduction in transcript levels [6].
  • While no role in morphogenesis is elucidated by this work, the data strongly suggests that PRS1 is an essential gene in C. albicans and supports earlier results that indicated the presence of a single PRS gene in C. albicans [6].
 

Anatomical context of PRS1

 

Other interactions of PRS1

  • A FASTA search indicated that the C. albicans PRS (Ca PRS1) had an overall homology at the amino acid level of 91% with the S. cerevisiae PRS3 [7].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of PRS1

  • Confirmation of a heterozygous, single disruption in PRS1 was obtained by I-SceI digestion of chromosomal-sized DNA and Southern blot hybridizations [6].
