[0078] The specific operation method in the above-mentioned preparation method can be followed, for example, in Molecular Cloning (molecular cloning): A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, Methods in Yeast Genetics (yeast genetics method): A Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Course Manual, 2000 Edition, etc. The method described in the operation.

[0079] The first method for identifying a target candidate molecule of a test substance according to the present invention is characterized in that it includes the steps of: contacting the yeast cells contained in the above-mentioned yeast cell set with the test substance; The step of yeast cells with changed phenotype; the step of identifying the mutated gene as the first gene in the above-mentioned selected yeast cells; and the target of using the transcription product and / or translation product of the above-mentioned first gene as a substance to be detected Steps in which candidate molecules are identified.

[0122] (1) Preparation of a partner strain in which the PDR1 gene and the PDR3 gene are disrupted

[0123] Using the method described in PCR-based method for producing efficient gene-disrupted alleles (Baudin A. et al. (1993) Nucl. Acid Res. 21: 3329-3330), PDR1 gene and PDR3 gene-disrupted alleles were prepared as follows: Companion strains.

[0124] The PDR3 gene locus of the BY4741 strain (MATa) was replaced with the LEU2 gene, thereby disrupting the PDR3 gene (hereinafter referred to as KE383). Also, the PDR1 gene locus of the BY4742 strain (MATα) was replaced with the HIS3 gene, thereby disrupting the PDR1 gene (hereinafter referred to as KE384). The KE383 strain and the KE384 strain were mated to form spores to produce a Δmet15, MATa-type strain (hereinafter referred to as KE445) in which both PDR1 and PDR3 were disrupted.

[0137]

[0138] In Example 1, except that the counter selection using 5-FOA (5-fluoroorotic acid) was carried out instead of selecting yeast cells having the MATa gene, a yeast gene knockout having the MATα gene was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1. Strains set. Specifically, by using MATα selective agar medium (SD-(Met+,Ura+) / G418 / canavanine / 5FOA) instead of MATa selective agar medium (SD-(Met+) / G418 / canavanine), successfully prepared A set of yeast gene knockout strains (MATα type BF-YKO) composed of 1374 strains of yeast cells with MATα gene disrupted by PDR1 gene and PDR3 gene ( figure 2 ).

Abstract

It is intended to provide a set of yeast gene knockout strains whose drug sensitivity has been significantly improved. A set of yeast cells of the invention is a set of yeast cells comprising two or more species of yeast cells, wherein at least one mutually different gene has been deleted or mutated in each of the two or more species of yeast cells, and all the two or more species of yeast cells are drug hypersensitive yeast cells in which the expression of at least one drug sensitivity-related gene has been regulated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a yeast cell set, a target candidate molecular identification method, an action mechanism analysis method and a screening method. Background technique [0002] Now, the genome structure has been clarified, but the mechanism of the tested substances acting on cells and the identification of target molecules are still a difficult problem. Recently, with the development of post-genomic technologies such as DNA microarrays, attempts have been made to analyze the actions of test substances genome-wide (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1). Among them, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), hereinafter sometimes referred to as "yeast"), which has a large number of human homologous genes and can use genetic methods, is considered to be a useful tool for analyzing the mechanism of action of the test substance (For example, refer to Non-Patent Document 2). [0003] Recently, about 6,0...
