We have isolated a gene NUO51 coding for a homologue of the nucleotide-binding subunit of mitochondrial respiratory chain linked NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase from the obligately aerobic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. DNA sequencing revealed a 1464 bp open reading frame encoding a protein with predicted molar mass of about 53.7 kDa. The sequence is highly conserved with its counterparts from filamentous fungi and represents the first yeast homologue of the NADH-binding subunit (51 kDa) of the respiratory complex 1. In addition, PFGE and Southern hybridization analysis indicate that NUO51 is a single copy gene in the genome of Y. lipolytica. The expression of NUO51 by Northern blot analysis was also examined.
我们从专性需氧酵母解脂耶氏酵母中分离出了一个基因NUO51,该基因编码线粒体呼吸链连接的NADH:泛醌氧化还原酶核苷酸结合亚基的同源物。DNA测序揭示了一个1464 bp的开放阅读框,编码一种预测摩尔质量约为53.7 kDa的蛋白质。该序列与其在丝状真菌中的对应序列高度保守,代表了呼吸复合体1的NADH结合亚基(51 kDa)的首个酵母同源物。此外,脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE)和Southern杂交分析表明,NUO51是解脂耶氏酵母基因组中的单拷贝基因。我们还通过Northern印迹分析检测了NUO51的表达。
