Red yeast rice is produced from rice using Monascus purpureus fungus, which results in the red colour of the fermented rice. Red yeast rice has been used for a thousand years as a food preservative and in traditional medicine to support vascular and digestive health. This study used Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to concurrently analyse citrinin and monacolin K produced by M. purpureus strain.

In this study, the fruiting bodies of the X. nigripes were collected to isolate, propagate in the liquid medium, and then cultured to induce the fruiting body formation in the rice medium. The results showed that the X. nigripes was successfully isolated on PDAY (Potato Dextrose Agar Yeast Extract) medium, and the mycelium and spore of the X. nigripes had unique characteristics of the species.

During the last decade several novel yeast genes encoding proteins related to the PPP family of Ser/Thr protein phosphatases have been discovered and their functional characterization initiated. Most of these novel phosphatases display intriguing structural features and/or are involved in a number of important functions, such as cell cycle regulation, protein synthesis and maintenance of cellular integrity. While in some cases these genes appear to be restricted to fungi, in others similar proteins can be found in higher eukaryotes. ...

An unconventional phospholipase D (PLD) activity was identified recently in Saccharomyces cerevisiae which is Ca2+-dependent, preferentially hydrolyses phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) and phosphatidylserine and does not catalyse a transphosphatidylation with primary short-chain alcohols. We have characterized the cytosolic and membrane-bound forms of the yeast PtdEtn-PLD and examined the regulation of its activity under certain growth, nutritional and stress conditions. Both forms of PtdEtn-PLD activity were similarly activated by Ca2+ ions in a biphasic manner. Likewise, other divalent cations affected both cytosolic and membrane-bound forms to the same extent....

Trehalose metabolism is an essential component of the stress response in yeast cells. In this work we show that the products of the principal genes involved in trehalose metabolism in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, tps1+ (coding for trehalose6-P synthase, Tps1p), ntp1+ (encoding neutral trehalase, Ntp1p) and tpp1+ (that codes for trehalose-6-P phosphatase, Tpp1p), interact in vitro with each other and with themselves to form protein complexes. Disruption of the gene tps1+ blocks the activation of the neutral trehalase induced by heat shock but not by osmotic stress. We propose that this association may reflect the Tps1p-dependent requirement for thermal activation of trehalase....

We previously reported that GTS1 is involved in regulating ultradian oscillations of the glycolytic pathway induced by cyanide in cell suspensions as well as oscillations of energy metabolism in aerobic continuous cultures. Here, we screened a yeast cDNA library for proteins that bind to Gts1p using the yeast two-hybrid system and cloned multiple TDH cDNAs encoding the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). We found that the zinc-finger and dimerization sites of Gts1p were required for full ability to bind GAPDH, and Gts1ps mutated at these sites lost the ability to regulate both aerobic and unaerobic ultradian oscillations of energy metabolism. ...

The p25rum1 is an inhibitor of Cdc2 kinase expressed in fission yeast and plays an important role in cell-cycle control. As its amino-acid sequence suggests that p25rum1 has putative phosphorylation sites for mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), we investigated the ability of MAPK to phosphorylate p25rum1. Direct in vitro kinase assay using GST-fusion proteins of wild-type as well as various mutants of p25rum1 demonstrated that MAPK phosphorylates the N-terminal portion of p25rum1 and residues Thr13 and Ser19 are major phosphorylation sites for MAPK....

Eukaryotic ribonuclease (RNase) H2 consists of one catalytic and two accessory subunits. Several single mutations in any one of these subunits of human RNase H2 cause Aicardi–Goutie`res syndrome. To examine whether these mutations affect the complex stability and activity of RNase H2, three mutant proteins of His-tagged Saccharomyces cerevisiaeRNase H2 (Sc-RNase H2*) were constructed. Sc-G42S*, Sc-L52R*, and Sc-K46W* contain single mutations in Sc-Rnh2Ap*, Sc-Rnh2Bp*, and Sc-Rnh2Cp*, respectively....

Important hydrogenbonding interactions between substrate OH-groups inyeasta-glucosidases andoligo-1,6-glucosidase from glycoside hydrolase family 13 have been identi®ed by measuring the rates of hydrolysis of methyla-isomaltoside and its seven monodeoxygenated analogs. The transition-state stabilization energy, DDGà, contributed by the indi-vidual OH-groups was calculated from the activities for the parent and the deoxy analogs, respectively, according toDDGà ˆ±RTln[(Vmax/Km)analog /(Vmax/Km) parent]....

The ability of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases to distinguish betweensimilaraminoacidsiscrucial foraccuratetrans-lation of the genetic code. Saccharomyces cerevisiae seryl-tRNA synthetase (SerRS) employs tRNA-dependent recognition of its cognate amino acid serine [Lenhard, B., Filipic, S., Landeka, I., Skrtic, I., So¨ll, D. & Weygand-Durasevic, I. (1997)J. Biol. Chem.272, 1136–1141]. Herewe show that dimeric SerRS enzyme complexed with one molecule of tRNA Ser is more specific and more efficient in catalyzing seryl-adenylate formation than the apoenzyme alone. ...

The oxidant function of pro-apoptotic protein Bax was investigated through heterologous expression in yeast. Direct measurements of fatty acid content show that Bax-expression induces oxidation of mitochondrial lipids. This effect is prevented by the coexpression of Bcl-xL. The oxi-dation actually could be followed on isolated mitochondria as respiration-induced peroxidation of polyunsaturatedcis-parinaric acid and on whole cells as the increase in the amount of thiobarbituric acid-reactiveproducts. ...

Novel properties of the primer independent synthesis of poly(A), catalyzed by the yeast poly(A) polymerase are presented.The commercial enzyme fromyeast, incontrast to theenzymefromEscherichia coli, is unable to adenylate the 3¢-OH end of nucleosides, nucleotides or dinucleoside poly-phosphates (NpnN).

Mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (mrps) of the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have been extensively characterized genetically and biochemically. However, the list of thegenes encoding individualmrps is still not complete and quite a fewof the mrps are only predicted from their similarity to bacterial ribosomal proteins. We have con-structed a yeast strain in which one of the small subunit proteins, termed Mrp4, was tagged with S-peptide and used for affinity purification of mitochondrial ribosome. ...

Mitochondrial cytochromecoxidase is a key protonmotive component of the respiratory chain. Mutations in the mito-chondrially-encoded subunits of the complex have been reported in associationwith a range of diseases. In this work we used yeast and bacterial mutants to assess the effect of humanmutations insubunit 1 (L196I) andsubunit 3 (G78S, A200T,DF94–F98, F251L and W249Stop).
