Basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor heterocomplex of Yas1p and Yas2p regulates cytochrome P450 expression in response to alkanes in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica.

Abstract excerpt

The expression of the ALK1 gene, which encodes cytochrome P450, catalyzing the first step of alkane oxidation in the alkane-assimilating yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, is highly regulated and can be induced by alkanes. Previously, we identified a cis-acting element (alkane-responsive element 1 [ARE1]...
