ACE1 regulates expression of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae metallothionein gene.

Open access
Thiele, D J·1988·Molecular and Cellular Biology

Abstract

Copper resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is mediated, in large part, by the CUP1 locus, which encodes a low-molecular-weight, cysteine-rich metal-binding protein. Expression of the CUP1 gene is regulated at the level of transcriptional induction in response to high environmental copper levels. This report describes the isolation of a yeast mutant, ace1-1, which is defective in the activation of CUP1 expression upon exposure to exogenous copper. The ace1-1 mutation is recessive and lies in a genetic element that encodes a trans-acting CUP1 regulatory factor. The wild-type ACE1 gene was isolated by in vivo complementation and restores copper inducibility of CUP1 expression and copper resistance to the otherwise copper-sensitive ace1-1 mutant. Linkage analysis and gene deletion experiments verified that this gene represents the authentic ACE1 locus. ACE1 maps to the left arm of chromosome VII, 9 centimorgans centromere distal to lys5. The ACE1 gene appears to play a direct or indirect positive role in activation of CUP1 expression in response to elevated copper concentrations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
