Genetic and molecular approaches to synthesis and action of the yeast killer toxin.

Experientia - 15 Feb 1990

Bussey H, Boone C, Zhu H, Vernet T, Whiteway M, Thomas D Y

Abstract excerpt

The K1 killer toxin of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a secreted, virally-coded protein lethal to sensitive yeasts. Killer yeasts are immune to the toxin they produce. This killer system has been extensively examined from genetic and molecular perspectives. Here we review the biology of killer yeasts, and examine the synthesis and action of the protein toxin and the immunity component. We summarise the structure of...
