[Cycloheximide-dependent mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae].
Selection of sup1 and sup2 mutants in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae on cycloheximide containing media revealed classes of mutants that either are completely unable to grow on YAPD without cycloheximide or need this drug under high temperature incubation (30 or 36 degrees C). Some of these mutants also exhibit the growth dependence on another antibiotic--trichodermin, and, at the same time, the osmotic dependence. A hypothesis claiming that sup1 and sup2 mutations cause conformational lability fo yeast cytoplasmic ribosomes has been put forward. It is also proposed that binding of cycloheximide and trichodermin to the mutant ribosomes cause their conformational shift, which compensates the functional defects.
