    Detection and analysis of alternative splicing in Yarrowia lipolytica reveal structural constraints facilitating nonsense-mediated decay of intron-retaining transcripts

    Hemiascomycetous yeasts have intron-poor genomes with very few cases of alternative splicing. Most of the reported examples result from intron retention in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and some have been shown to be ...

    Functional genetics of Yarrowia lipolytica

    The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica has been used for industrial bioconversions since the late 1960’s, mainly by the food and chemical industries. The most important process is presently the production of citric acid f...

    Cloning the Yarrowia lipolytica homologue of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SEC62 gene

    Yarrowia lipolytica SEC62 cDNA was cloned by functional complementation of a thermo-sensitive sec62 Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant strain. The Y. lipolytica SEC62 promoter region was amplified by the inverse po...

    Multiple-copy integration in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

    Using an EcoRI-BglII fragment of the G unit of the rDNA of Y. lipolytica and a set of 11 deletions in the URA3 promoter, we have constructed several plasmids to test gene amplification in the rDNA. These plasmids...

    LYC1 is the structural gene for lysine N-6-acetyl transferase in yeast

    In the yeastYarrowia lipolytica, theLYC1 locus controls the first step of the lysine degradation pathway which is catalyzed by lysine N-6-acetyl transferase (LAT). This gene was cloned by complementation of thely...

    Chromosomal polymorphism of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica and related species: electrophoretic karyoty** and hybridization with cloned genes

    Significant differences in electrophoretic karyoty** patterns were found among 27 strains of Y. lipolytica. Twenty-one of these strains were classified into four groups of similar karyotypes while six strains s...

    Cloning of the mating-type gene MATA of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

    The mating type gene MA TA of the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was cloned. The strategy used was based on the presumed function of this gene in the induction of sporulation. A diploid strain homozygous for...

    The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica has two, functional, signal recognition particle 7S RNA genes

    Cells containing a deletion of either the SCR1 or SCR2 genes, which code for the 7SL RNA component of the signal recognition particle (SRP) homologue, were found to be viable. Two independent approaches demonstra...

    Expression of invertase activity in Yarrowia lipolytica and its use as a selective marker

    Few selective markers are available for the transformation of the industrial yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, and those that are require the use of specialized hosts (e.g., auxotrophs, antibiotic sensitive). To enable ...
