Expression arrays were used to identify 4 putative oxidoreductases that were upregulated (>3-fold) by furfural (15 mM, 15 min). Plasmid expression of one (ucpA) increased furan tolerance in ethanologenic strain LY180 and wild-type strain W. Deleting ucpA decreased furfural tolerance. Although the mechanism remains unknown, the cryptic ucpA gene is now associated with a phenotype: furan resistance.
表达谱芯片被用于鉴定出 4 种推测的氧化还原酶,它们受糠醛(15mM,15 分钟)诱导表达上调(>3 倍)。一个(ucpA)的质粒表达增加了工程菌 LY180 和野生型菌 W 对呋喃的耐受性。ucpA 的缺失降低了糠醛的耐受性。尽管其机制尚不清楚,但隐性的 ucpA 基因现在与表型相关:呋喃抗性。
