Effects of expression of mammalian G alpha and hybrid mammalian-yeast G alpha proteins on the yeast pheromone response signal transduction pathway (1990)

Kang, Yoon-Se, Kane, Jeffrey, Kurjan, Janet, Stadel, Jeffrey M., Tipper, Donald J.

Scg1, the product of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SCG1 (also called GPA1) gene, is homologous to the alpha subunits of G proteins involved in signal transduction in mammalian cells. Scg1 negatively...

tRNA synthesis: identification of in vivo precursor tRNAs from parental and mutant yeast strains (1981)

Hopper, Anita K., Kurjan, Janet

In vivo yeast precursor tRNAs have been identified using a modification of the Northern-hybridization procedure. Two species of pre-$${\hbox{ tRNA }}_{\hbox{ 2 }}^{\hbox{ Ser }}$$ and 2 species of...

Multiple Sex Pheromones and Receptors of a Mushroom-producing Fungus Elicit Mating in Yeast

Fowler, Thomas J., DeSimone, Susan M., Mitton, Michael F., Kurjan, Janet, Raper, Carlene A.

The mushroom-producing fungus Schizophyllum commune has thousands of mating types defined, in part, by numerous lipopeptide pheromones and their G protein-linked receptors. Compatible combinations of...

Mutations at the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SUP4 tRNATyr Locus: Isolation, Genetic Fine-Structure Mapping, and Correlation with Physical Structure

Kurjan, Janet, Hall, Benjamin D.

The SUP4 tRNATyr locus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied by the isolation and characterization of mutations at the SUP4 gene which result in the loss of suppressor function. Most of the...
