RESUMO
The gene responsible for the methylglyoxal resistance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cloned, and its phenotypic characteristics were investigated. S. cerevisiae cells with the gene could accumulate large amounts of glutathione in the medium and should remarkably high resistance to various toxic compounds such as methylglyoxal, tetramethylthiuram disulfide, iodoacetamide, and heavy-metal ions. The gene was also expressed in Escherichia coli cells, and the resistance of E. coli cells to toxic compounds also increased as observed for S. cerevisiae cells. The phenotypic characteristics of the gene were applicable to the selection of the transformants of wild-type yeast strains having no genetic markers.
