Isolation of a GPD gene from Debaryomyces hansenii encoding a glycerol 3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (NAD+)
A gene homologous to GPD1, coding for glycerol‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (sn‐glycerol 3‐phosphate: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.8), has been isolated from the halophilic yeast Debaryomyces hansenii by complementation of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae gpd1Δ mutant. DNA sequencing of the complementing ge...

Summary: | A gene homologous to GPD1, coding for glycerol‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (sn‐glycerol 3‐phosphate: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.8), has been isolated from the halophilic yeast Debaryomyces hansenii by complementation of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae gpd1Δ mutant. DNA sequencing of the complementing genomic clone indicated the existence of an open reading frame encoding a protein with 369 amino acids. Comparative analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence showed high similarity to homologous genes described for other eukaryotic GPD enzymes. The sequence has been submitted to the GenBank database under Accession No. AY333427. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
