| Abstract | We previously described the isolation of yeast mutants (sex mutants) that secrete reduced amounts of mature α-factor when it is synthesized as part of a fusion with prosomatostatin. In the present study we show that the sex3-1 mutant displays pleiotropic phenotypes. These include an abnormal morphology, an osmoremediable caffeine sensitivity, reduced secretion of mature α-factor, a weakened cell wall and a marked deficiency in halotolerance. Cloning of the SEX3 gene revealed that it is identical to the RPB4 gene. This gene encodes the fourth largest subunit of yeast RNA polymerase II, which has been postulated to play a major role in the response to stress. We show that transcriptional activation in response to either a cell wall stress or to growth in the presence of elevated salt concentrations is minimally affected by the loss of RPB4 function. However, whereas the levels of several mRNAs are similarly reduced (by about 30%) in rpb4 mutants grown in rich medium at moderate temperature, some transcripts, in particular ZDS1, are more abundant. An increase dosage of ZDS1, or of genes involved in cell wall assembly and in secretion (RHO1 and SRO77, respectively), partially suppresses the sensitivity of rpb4 Δ cells to high temperature, heat shock and stationary phase. Collectively, our results indicate that the loss of Rpb4p perturbs several cellular functions that contribute to the inappropriate stress response of rpb4 Δ yeast. We therefore conclude that this RNA polymerase II subunit is not specifically involved in the stress response. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
