Conversion of starch to ethanol in a recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain expressing rice alpha-amylase from a novel Pichia pastoris alcohol oxidase promoter
A recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae , expressing and secreting rice α -amylase, converts starch to ethanol. The rice α -amylase gene ( OS103 ) was placed under the transcriptional control of the promoter from a newly described Pichia pastoris alcohol oxidase genomic clone. The nucleotide sequence...

Zusammenfassung: | A recombinant
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
, expressing and secreting rice
α
-amylase, converts starch to ethanol. The rice
α
-amylase gene (
OS103
) was placed under the transcriptional control of the promoter from a newly described
Pichia pastoris
alcohol oxidase genomic clone. The nucleotide sequences of
ZZA1
and other methanol-regulated promoters were analyzed. A highly conserved sequence (TTG-N
3
GCTTCCAA-N
5
-TGGT) was found in the 5′ flanking regions of alcohol oxidase, methanol oxidase, and dihydroxyacetone synthase genes in
Pichia pastoris, Hansenula polymorpha
, and
Candida boidinii
S2. The yeast strain containing the
ZZA1-OS103
fusion secreted biologically active enzyme into the culture media while fermenting soluble starch. |
