Studies on the HIS 5 Gene of Yeast - The nucleotide sequence of 5' upstream region of the HIS 5 Gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae -

Saccharomyces cerevisiae HIS 5 유전자는 histidinol phosphate aminotransferase (EC: 2, 6, 1,9)를 code하는 아미노산 합성유전자이다. 이 유전자는 plasmid pSH 530에 cloning되어 E. coli와 Saccharomyces cerevisiae 숙주에서 promoter로서 전사하였다. HIS 5 유전자의 총염기 수는 736개이였고 5' 상류영역에는 긴 reading frame, directed repeat, 전사개시점, 그리고 Pribnow box염기배열이 있었다. 특히 HIS 5 유전자의 ATG 주변 염기배열은 -A-A-A-T-T-A-C-A-C-T-A-T-G-G-T-T-T-T-T-G-A-T-였으며 C block은 없었다.

The HIS5 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae host was encoded histidinol phosphate aminotransferase(E.C.: 2.6. 1.9). The HIS5 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cloned on plasmid pSH 530. This gene mighted be transcripted from a promoter of yeast gene both in E. coli and yeast hosts. We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the yeast HIS5 gene and its 5' and 3' flanking sequences. There are no large differences between the relative levels of HIS5 mRNA molecules with different 5' termini in represent and derepressed cell. In the DNA sequence upstream from the 5' termini of HIS5 mRNA we have found live closely related copies of a 9 base pair sequence. The sequence is also repeated in the 5' noncoding regions of HIS1, HIS3, HIS4, HIS5 and TRP5. Closely related sequence are not found flanking repeat sequence plays a role in the regulation of amino acid biosynthetic genes subject to the general amino acid control.
