We have identified a mutant strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae which overproduces killer toxin. This strain contains a single mutation which fails to complement defects in both the SKI3 and SKI5 genes, while a cloned copy of this gene complements both the ski3 and ski5 defects. The level of secreted toxin from a cDNA based plasmid is not increased in a ski3 strain, showing that the overproduction phenotype is dependent upon an increased level of M1 dsRNA.
我们已经鉴定出一种酿酒酵母的突变菌株,该菌株过量产生杀伤毒素。此菌株含有一个单一突变,该突变无法弥补SKI3和SKI5基因的缺陷,而该基因的克隆拷贝则可弥补ski3和ski5的缺陷。基于cDNA的质粒分泌的毒素水平在ski3菌株中并未增加,这表明过量生产表型取决于M1双链RNA水平的升高。
