Characterization of a double gene disruption in the LYS2 locus of the pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans.

Abstract excerpt

The 4.2 kbp LYS2 gene of Candida albicans encodes the 150 kDa subunit of the 180 kDa heterodimeric enzyme alpha-aminoadipate reductase. To facilitate structural and functional studies of the LYS2 gene, in this investigation both alleles were sequentially disrupted in C. albicans CAI4. The disruptions were performed using a targeting vector that contained a 2.2 kbp portion of LYS2 from which a 600-bp fragment had...
