SNM1 is involved in the repair of DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and possibly in human cells, although relatively little is known about its biochemical function. The hSNM1 contains a long 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) predicted to fold into a complex secondary structure, and which contains numerous short open reading frames (ORFs). We show here using bicistronic constructs that human SNM1 mRNA contains an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) that generally suppresses translation, except during mitosis where translation is upregulated. These results suggest that hSNM1 may have a mitotic function possibly involved in response to DNA interstrand cross-linking agents.

A novel yeast species, isolated from the bark of pine trees in Gyeongju, South Korea, and designated as KCTC 37304 (ex-type KACC 410729), is characterized by its genetic, morphological and physiological properties. Molecular phylogenetic analysis involving the D1/D2 domain of the 26S LSU rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region confirms that it belongs to the genus . In comparison to CBS:10065, the type strain of its closest relative, KCTC 37304 exhibits 8 nucleotide substitutions (~2.

Six strains (DMKU-SG26, DMKU-SG42, DMKU-SYM22, DMKU-RG41, DMKU-RX317 and DMKU-RGM25) representing a novel basidiomycetous yeast species were isolated from leaf surfaces of mangrove plants collected in Thailand. Pairwise sequence analysis indicated that the six strains either had identical nucleotide substitution in the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene sequences or differed by one to three nucleotide(s). They also had identical or differed by one to five nucleotide substitution(s) in the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions.

Background And Purpose: Plants are crucial habitats for fungus communities as they provide an appropriate physical environment for the growth and reproduction of the yeast microbiome. Varieties of pathogenic and non-pathogenic yeast could be found in trees. Although species are the most common pathogenic yeasts associated with trees, other yeasts also grow on trees and are critical to human health.
