Cloning and characterisation of the ribosomal RNA genes of the dimorphic yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica
Tóm tắt
The ribosomal RNA genes of Yarrowia lipolytica have been identified, both in restriction digests of total genomic DNA and in a pBR322 gene bank, by hybridisation with cloned Saccharomyces cerevisiae rDNA. The Y. lipolytica rDNA repeat unit is 8.9 kb in size and contains the genes for the 25S and 18S, but not the 5S, rRNA species. The number of copies of these repeat units is approx. 50 per haploid genome. Several clones were found which did not conform to the standard restriction map due to differences outside the coding region. It appears that there is either heterogeneity of the spacer sequence within a strain or that the Y. lipolytica rDNA genes may be present as a number of separate clusters within this yeast's genome.
