Specific gene probes as tools in yeast taxonomy
T. Seehaus,Rosaura Rodicio,J. Heinisch,Andrés Aguilera,H. D. Schmitt,Friedrich K. Zimmermann +5 more
TL;DR: The genePDC1 ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae coding for pyruvate decarboxylase was used as a hybridization probe to detect gene sequence homologies in different strains of Saccharomycingcetaceae and in other yeast species.

Yeast mutants without phosphofructokinase activity can still perform glycolysis and alcoholic fermentation
TL;DR: Mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae without detectable phosphofructokinase activity belonged to two genes called PFK1 and PFK2, and produced significant amounts of radioactivity from other carbon atoms and pfk mutants generated CO2 almost equally well from all six carbon atoms of glucose.

Genetic and anti-tubulin effects induced by pyridine derivatives
TL;DR: Four pyridine derivatives were found to induce mitotic gene conversion and 2-phenyl-pyridine also induced reverse mutation in strain D7 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and these two agents also inhibited the GTP-mediated assembly of porcine brain tubulin in vitro.

The detection of chemically induced aneuploidy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: An assessment of mitotic and meiotic systems
TL;DR: Several chemicals have been identified that clearly induce aneuploidy in at least one or more of the systems evaluated, and chromosome gain and loss are detectable in mitotic diploid cells.

Genetic change may be caused by interference with protein-protein interactions
TL;DR: The in vitro experiments with porcine brain tubulin suggest that genetic change can result from interference with specific protein-protein interactions, and fumaric acid dinitrile was the only exception since it did induce aneuploidy but had no effects on the assembly of porCine brain Tubulin.
