Yeast prions: could they be exaptations? The URE2/[URE3] system in Kluyveromyces lactis.

FEMS yeast research - 1 Feb 2011

Safadi Rim Al, Talarek Nicolas, Jacques Noémie, Aigle Michel

Abstract excerpt

We examined aspects of the URE2/[URE3] prion system in Kluyveromyces lactis, which lies on a different evolutionary branch from Saccharomyces. We first analysed the polymorphism of the prion-forming domain in 38 strains. Considerable differences were found between these two genera, with little variation within K. lactis. We then analysed the regulatory function of Ure2p, using a deletion of URE2. We assessed the...
