Effects of perinuclear chromosome tethers in the telomeric URA3/5FOA system reflect changes to gene silencing and not nucleotide metabolism [PDF]
Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences that protect the ends of linear chromosomes. Telomeres also recruit histone deacetylase complexes that can then spread along chromosome arms and repress the expression of subtelomeric genes in a process known as ...

Characterizing the Fitness Effects of Mutations in the Yeast URA3 Gene [PDF]
The central goal of this project is to study the mechanisms by which changes in gene sequence affect the level of function of the associated protein and therefore, fitness of the organism that carries a particular allele of a gene. In order to study this process, we performed random mutagenesis of the yeast URA3 gene and are currently assaying the ...

Acetate‐Mediated Production of Orotic Acid by ura3 Mutants of Candida albicans [PDF]
AbstractCandida albicans ura3 mutants were found to produce large amounts of orotic acid when the growth medium was supplemented with sodium acetate. Experiments with 13C‐labeled acetate showed that the acetate served as a precursor of orotic acid.

Oxalurate Induction of Multiple URA3 Transcripts in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
The URA3 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is localized on a 1.1-kilobase (kb) DNA fragment. By using this fragment as a hybridization probe, we found that oxalurate, a gratuitous inducer of the allantoin degradative system, also serves to induce URA3 specific RNA. This response is restricted to oxalurate; other conditions which bring about high-level

SIR2 Expression Noise Can Generate Heterogeneity in Viability but Does Not Affect Cell-to-Cell Epigenetic Silencing of Subtelomeric URA3 in Yeast [PDF]
Chromatin structure clearly modulates gene expression noise, but the reverse influence has never been investigated, namely how the cell-to-cell expression heterogeneity of chromatin modifiers may generate variable rates of epigenetic modification.

The development and application of a multiple gene co-silencing system using endogenous URA3 as a reporter gene in Ganoderma lucidum. [PDF]
Ganoderma lucidum is one of the most important medicinal mushrooms; however, molecular genetics research on this species has been limited due to a lack of reliable reverse genetic tools.

cis- and trans-acting regulatory elements of the yeast URA3 promoter. [PDF]
Expression of the yeast pyrimidine biosynthetic gene, URA3, is induced three- to fivefold in response to uracil starvation, and this regulation is mediated by the transcriptional activator PPR1 (pyrimidine pathway regulator 1). In this study, we have analyzed the regulatory elements of the URA3 promoter by DNase I footprinting, using partially purified

Efficient multiple gene knock-out in Colletotrichum higginsianum via CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein and URA3 -based marker recycling [PDF]
AbstractColletotrichum higginsianum is a hemibiotrophic pathogen that causes anthracnose disease on crucifer hosts, including Arabidopsis thaliana. Despite the availability of genomic and transcriptomic information and the ability to transform both organisms, identifying C.
