Rap1 in Candida albicans: an Unusual Structural Organization and a Critical Function in Suppressing Telomere Recombination

Abstract: Rap1 (repressor activator protein 1) is a conserved multifunctional protein initially identified as a transcriptional regulator of ribosomal protein genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae but subsequently shown to play diverse functions at multiple chromosomal loci, including telomeres. The function of Rap1 appears to be evolutionarily plastic, especially in the budding yeast lineages. We report here our biochemical and molecular genetic characterizations of Candida albicans Rap1, which exhibits an unusual, miniatu… Show more

“…Because of the atypical translation of the CUG codon in Candida species, the CTG triplets encoding amino acids 33 and 132 of CtCdc13 were mutated to TCG to enable the expression of wild-type proteins in Escherichia coli (38). Following induction, extracts were prepared and the fusion proteins purified with Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) chromatography as previously described (46). The fusion protein was cleaved by the ULP1 protease, and the Cdc13 fragment was purified away from the His 6 -SUMO tag by a second round of Ni-NTA affinity chromatography.…”

“…The His 6 -SUMO fusion proteins were expressed and purified essentially as previously described (52). Briefly, extracts were prepared from E. coli following IPTG (isopropyl-␤-D-thiogalactopyranoside) induction and the fusion proteins were purified using Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) chromatography.…”
