Abstract excerpt
The methylotrophic yeasts are commonly used as hosts for heterologous gene expression. In this study, we describe a novel gene, TRM1, in Candida boidinii, responsible for the transcriptional activation of several methanol-inducible promoters. The encoded protein, Trm1p, is a Zn(II)2Cys6-type zinc cluster protein. Deletion of TRM1 completely inhibits growth on methanol but causes no growth defect on glucose or...
