Alternative CUG codon usage (Ser for Leu) in Pichia farinosa and the effect of a mutated killer gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Protein engineering - 1 Mar 2002

Suzuki C, Kashiwagi T, Hirayama K

Abstract excerpt

The halotolerant yeast Pichia farinosa KK1 strain produces a killer toxin termed SMKT (salt-mediated killer toxin). Mass spectrometry and Edman sequencing of peptides from the mature SMKT and secreted protoxin demonstrate that positions specified by the CUG codon contain unmodified serine (Ser) in P.farinosa. In order to express the authentic SMK1 product in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which uses the universal...
