[Comparative molecular-genetic analysis of the beta-fructosidases in yeast Saccharomyces].
To infer the molecular evolution of polymeric beta-fructosidase SUC genes of the yeast Saccharomyces, we have cloned and sequenced a new SUC gene from S. cariocanus and determined the sequence similarity of beta-fructosidases within the genus Saccharomyces. The proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its five sibling species (S. bayanus, S. cariocanus, S. kudriavzevii, S. mikatae, S. paradoxus) have high degree of identity - 90-97%. The invertase of S. bayanus is the most divergent among the proteins studied. The data obtained indicated that the yeast invertases are highly conservative. In the coding regions of the SUC genes the pyrimidine transitions were the most abundant event due to silent changes mainly in the third codon position. There is only one, probably, non-telomeric SUC gene in each of the Saccharomyces species. In S. cerevisiae, S. bayanus, S. kudriavzevii, S. mikatae and S. paradoxus the SUC gene have been mapped on chromosome IX, whereas in S. cariocanus this gene is located in chromosone XV, in the position of translocation.
