The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes (CMP1 and CMP2) encoding calmodulin-binding proteins homologous to the catalytic subunit of mammalian protein phosphatase 2B.

TL;DR: Gene disruption experiments demonstrated that elimination of either or both of the CMP1 and CMP2 genes had no effect on cell viability, indicating that these genes are not essential for normal cell growth.

Nucleotide sequence of the extracellular glucoamylase gene STA1 in the yeast Saccharomyces diastaticus
TL;DR: Analysis of both the nucleotide sequence of the STA1 gene and the amino acid composition of the purified glucoamylase suggested that the putative precursor is processed to yield subunits H and Y of mature enzyme by both trypsin-like and chymotrypsin -like cleavages.

Bitterness of Leucine-containing Peptides
TL;DR: In this study, some oligo peptides containing leucine residues were synthesized and their taste was evaluated and the possibility of 2 binding sites between the bitter peptides and the bitter taste receptors of the gustation cells was postulated.

Polymorphic extracellular glucoamylase genes and their evolutionary origin in the yeast Saccharomyces diastaticus.
TL;DR: In this article, DNA coding for extracellular glucoamylase genes STA1 and STA3 was isolated from DNA libraries of two Saccharomyces diastaticus strains, each carrying STA1 or STA3.

Transcriptional control of the sporulation-specific glucoamylase gene in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Ichiro Yamashita,Sakuzo Fukui +1 more
TL;DR: A sporulation-specific glucoamylase gene (SGA) is identified and expression of SGA is positively regulated by the mating-type genes, both MATa1 and MAT alpha 2.
