Molecular Biology of Sacchromyces

At a fundamental research level, the yeasts offer opportunities for modelling regulatory and metabolic processes in multicellular eukaryotic organisms. This volume deals with the multifunctional chromosome regulatory proteins, topoisomerase and nuclear transport.

At a fundamental research level, the yeasts offer opportunities for modelling regulatory and metabolic processes in multicellular eukaryotic organisms.This volume deals with the mulitfunctional chromosome regulatory proteins, topoisomerase and nuclear transport. A combination of biochemical and genetic approaches applied to the yeast translation system is also currently yielding data, while the mating pheromone signal transduction components used by multicellular organisms, including receptors, G proteins, protein kinases and transcription factors. With a well-established history of fermentation studies, yeasts remain the first-choice vehicle for production of heterologous eukaryotic proteins. Interest is diversifying, as an increasing number of non-Saccharomyces species are now being utilized for the production of specific heterologous proteins. Molecular biologists, microbiologists and biochemical geneticists should find this volume a useful update of this area of research.
