[Cloning and physical mapping of the ADE1 gene of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae].
ADE1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae codes for the primary structure of SAICAR-synthetase. Mutational changes of ADE1 gene result in the accumulation of red pigment in cells. Colour differences, thus, serve as a basis for the selection of mutants or transformants. ADE1 gene was cloned as a 4.0 kb HindIII fragment of yeast DNA in a shuttle vector by complementing the ade1 mutation in yeast. The study of ADE1 gene expression in Escherichia coli showed that the 4.0 kb fragment containing the ADE1 gene does not complement purC mutations in E. coli. However, prototrophic colonies appeared at a frequency of 10(-7)-10(-8) after incubating clones bearing the recombinant plasmid with ADE1 gene on selective media. The plasmid DNA isolated from such clones complements the purC mutation in E. coli and the ade1 mutation in S. cerevisiae. Structural analysis of the plasmid demonstrated that the cloned DNA fragment contained an additional insertion of the bacterial origin. Further restriction enzyme analysis proved the insertion to be the bacterial element IS1. Expression of the cloned ADE1 gene in S. cerevisiae is controlled by its own promoter, whereas in E. coli it is controlled by the IS1 bacterial element.
