Genome organization of the killer plasmid pGK12 from Kluyveromyces lactis
We have determined the entire sequence of the plasmid K2 from Kluyveromyces lactis which is involved in the maintenance of both killer plasmids in the cell. K2 shares many of the characteristics of the smaller killer plasmid K1: high A+T content (74.7%) and very compact genomic organization. K2 contains ten open reading frames. Some of them overlap on different strands and some on the same stra...
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.
متن کاملGenome wide distribution of illegitimate recombination events in Kluyveromyces lactis
Illegitimate recombination (IR) is the process by which two DNA molecules not sharing homology to each other are joined. In Kluyveromyces lactis, integration of heterologous DNA occurred very frequently therefore constituting an excellent model organism to study IR. IR was completely dependent on the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway for DNA double strand break (DSB) repair and we detect...
متن کاملKluyveromyces lactis killer system: analysis of cytoplasmic promoters of the linear plasmids.
All of the 14 genes encoded by the cytoplasmic linear killer plasmids of Kluyveromyces lactis are preceded by upstream conserved sequences (UCSs), cis-acting elements involved in plasmid gene transcription. Using the bacterial glucose-dehydrogenase gene as a reporter, expression driven by seven cytoplasmic promoters was determined. The level of expression ranged from 0.5 to 6 nkat. The highest ...
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...
