RAG4 gene encodes a glucose sensor in Kluyveromyces lactis.
The rag4 mutant of Kluyveromyces lactis was previously isolated as a fermentation-deficient mutant, in which transcription of the major glucose transporter gene RAG1 was affected. The wild-type RAG4 was cloned by complementation of the rag4 mutation and found to encode a protein homologous to Snf3 and Rgt2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These two proteins are thought to be sensors of low and high...
متن کاملRegulation of lactose transport in Kluyveromyces lactis
Kluyveromyces lactis is able to ferment lactose and it is considered as an alternative model for biochemical, physiological and genetic studies in nonSaccharomyces yeasts. Understanding the mechanisms of lactose uptake and the regulation involved in the transport is an important step towards better biotechnological applications. The transport of lactose in K. lactis is mediated by a membrane pe...
متن کاملInsight into the Kluyveromyces lactis Pdr1p regulon.
The overexpression of efflux pumps is an important mechanism leading to the development of multidrug resistance phenomenon. The transcription factor KlPdr1p, belonging to the Zn2Cys6 family, is a central regulator of efflux pump expression in Kluyveromyces lactis. To better understand how KlPDR1-mediated drug resistance is achieved in K. lactis, we used DNA microarrays to identify genes whose e...
متن کاملReoxidation of cytosolic NADPH in Kluyveromyces lactis.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces lactis are considered to be the prototypes of two distinct metabolic models of facultatively-aerobic yeasts: Crabtree-positive/fermentative and Crabtree-negative/respiratory, respectively. Our group had previously proposed that one of the molecular keys supporting this difference lies in the mechanisms involved in the reoxidation of the NADPH produced ...
متن کاملTransfer of DNA killer plasmids from Kluyveromyces lactis to Kluyveromyces fragilis and Candida pseudotropicalis.
Killer plasmids pGKL1 and pGKL2 of double-stranded linear DNAs were transferred from Kluyveromyces lactis to strains of Kluyveromyces fragilis and Candida pseudotropicalis. The resultant killer strains produced 17-fold and 6-fold larger amounts of killer toxin than K. lactis did, respectively. The killer toxin produced by each species appeared to be a glycoprotein.
