Investigation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Trm10 tRNA methyltransferase (m1G9) activity: Substrate Specificity and Essential Amino Acid Residues for Catalysis
Henderson, Jeremy ( 2009-06 )Trm10 catalyzes N-1 methylation of G9 (m1G9) for at least 10 tRNA species in S. cerevisiae, including tRNAGly. However, at least 12 yeast tRNA species, including tRNAVal and tRNALeu, have an unmodified G9, and the sequence ... -
Using fluorescence microscopy to determine whether Gal80 subcellular redistribution is a key mechanistic element of the GAL gene switch
Frey, Benjamin ( 2008-06 )This thesis studies the GAL gene switch in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using fluorescently tagged molecules of Gal80p in vivo.
