Isolation and sequence analysis of the orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase gene (URA3) of Candida utilis. Comparison with the OMP decarboxylase gene family
Abstract
The URA3 gene of Candida utilis encoding orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase enzyme was isolated by complementation in Escherichia coli pyrF mutation. The deduced amino-acid sequence is highly similar to that of the Ura3 proteins from other yeast and fungal species. An extensive analysis of the family of orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase is shown. The URA3 gene of C. utilis was able to complement functionally the ura3 mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
