The TPS1 gene from Hansenula polymorpha, which encodes trehalose-6-phosphate (Tre6P) synthase, has been isolated and characterized. The deletion of TPS1 rendered H. polymorpha cells incapable of trehalose synthesis under conditions where wild-type cells normally accumulate high levels of trehalose. Interestingly, the loss of Tre6P synthase did not cause any obvious growth defects on a glucose-containing medium, even at high temperatures, but seriously compromised the cells' ability to acquire thermotolerance.
多形汉逊酵母的TPS1基因已被分离和鉴定,该基因编码海藻糖-6-磷酸(Tre6P)合酶。在野生型细胞通常积累高水平海藻糖的条件下,TPS1基因的缺失使多形汉逊酵母细胞无法合成海藻糖。有趣的是,Tre6P合酶的缺失在含葡萄糖的培养基上并未导致任何明显的生长缺陷,即使在高温下也是如此,但严重损害了细胞获得耐热性的能力。
