Abstract excerpt
To develop the budding yeast Pichia pastoris (Pp) as a model system for the study of protein secretion, we have characterized a secreted acid phosphatase (Pho1p) from this yeast. Pho1p can be induced 100-fold by starvation for phosphate. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity from a cell-wall extract by DEAE-Sepharose chromatography. We selected mutants that lacked extracellular phosphatase activity and the gene...
