Transformation of Aspergillus aculeatus using the drug resistance gene of Aspergillus oryzae and the pyrG gene of Aspergillus nidulans.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transformation systems for Aspergillus aculeatus has been developed, based on the use of the pyrithiamine resistance gene of Aspergillus oryzae and the orotidine-5'-monophosphate decarboxylase gene (pyrG) of Aspergillus nidulans. An A. aculeatus mutant which can be transformed effectively by the A. nidulans pyrG gene was isolated as a transformation host. This is the first report of transformation of A. aculeatus.

Development of a pyrG Mutant of Aspergillus oryzae Strain S1 as a Host for the Production of Heterologous Proteins
The ease with which auxotrophic strains and genes that complement them can be manipulated, as well as the stability of auxotrophic selection systems, are amongst the advantages of using auxotrophic markers to produce heterologous proteins. Most auxotrophic markers in Aspergillus oryzae originate from chemical or physical mutagenesis that may yield undesirable mutations along with the mutation o...
متن کاملRole of the regulatory gene areA of Aspergillus oryzae in nitrogen metabolism.
The areA gene of Aspergillus oryzae was cloned by cross-hybridization with the Aspergillus nidulans areA gene and was found to encode an 866-amino-acid protein that is very similar to other fungal nitrogen regulatory proteins. The A. oryzae areA gene can complement A. nidulans areA loss-of-function mutations. Functional analyses indicated that the N-terminal region of the A. oryzae AreA protein...
متن کاملGenetic Transformation of an argB Mutant of Aspergillus oryzae.
An argB mutant of Aspergillus oryzae NRRL 492 has been genetically transformed with the Aspergillus nidulans argB gene. Protoplasts were generated with a combination of Novozyme 234 and beta-glucuronidase and regenerated on sucrose-stabilized minimal medium without arginine as described for A. nidulans. A frequency of 5 to 10 transformants per mug of DNA was obtained; however, most transformant...
متن کاملTransformation of Aspergillus sp. and Trichoderma reesei using the pyrithiamine resistance gene (ptrA) of Aspergillus oryzae.
A pyrithiamine (PT) resistance gene (ptrA) was cloned from a PT resistant mutant of Aspergillus oryzae and was useful as a dominant selectable marker for transformation of all A. oryzae wild type strain as well as A. nidulans. For further study, we examined whether or not ptrA could be used as the transformation marker in other species of filamentous fungi. Two types of plasmid, which contain p...

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae is a well-known expression host used to express homologous and heterologous proteins in a number of industrial applications. To facilitate higher yields of proteins of interest, we constructed the pAsOP vector to express heterologous proteins in A. oryzae. pAsOP carries a selectable marker, pyrG, derived from Aspergillus nidulans, and a strong promoter ...
