Zusammenfassung
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome contains nine open reading frames (ORFs) - YLR214w (FRE1), YKL220c (FRE2), YOR381w, YNR060w, YOR384w, YLL051c, YOL152w, YGL160w and YLR047c - which, based on amino acid sequence similarity, fall in the category of iron/copper reductase-related genes. FRE1 and FRE2 are the first identified and studied genes of this family. They both encode for plasma membrane ferric/cupric reductases and their expression is regulated by iron and copper availability, mediated by the transcription factors Aft1p and Mac1p, respectively. We have studied the expression of the seven ORFs of unknown function by monitoring mRNA accumulation under different growth conditions, namely, their response to iron and copper availability in the medium, as well as the involvement of transcription factors Aft1p and Mac1p in their expression. A compilation of these results, together with sequence comparison data, permits a first classification of these genes under three major groups: genes mainly regulated by iron availability, genes mainly regulated by copper availability and genes not regulated by either metal.

Endophthalmitis in HIV Infection
Tsirouki T., Steffen J., Dastiridou A., Praidou A., Androudi S. (2020)Purpose: The role of HIV infection in exogenous and endogenous endophthalmitis has not been clarified. We aim to assess the potential role of HIV as a risk factor or a poor prognostic feature in this sight-threatening ... -
Pus1p-dependent tRNA Pseudouridinylation Becomes Essential When tRNA Biogenesis Is Compromised in Yeast
Großhans, H.; Lecointe, F.; Grosjean, H.; Hurt, E.; Simos, G. (2001)Yeast Pus1p catalyzes the formation of pseudouridine (ψ) at specific sites of several tRNAs, but its function is not essential for cell viability. We show here that Pus1p becomes essential when another tRNA: pseudouridine ... -
Role of Arc1p in the modulation of yeast glutamyl-tRNA synthetase activity
Graindorge, J. S.; Senger, B.; Tritch, D.; Simos, G.; Fasiolo, F. (2005)Yeast methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS) and glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRS) possess N-terminal extensions that bind the cofactor Arc1p in trans. The strength of GluRS-Arc1p interaction is high enough to allow copurification ...
