摘要
利用原位杂交方法从野生型酵母菌染色体DNA中克隆了PHO80基因,全长约4.2kb,包括1.1kb的上游序列和879bp的编码序列。以URA3基因为筛选标记,通过体内同源重组和营养互补筛选获得了PHO80基因缺失突变株。进一步研究了PHO80在细胞内的功能,它是酵母阻遏型酸性磷酸酯酶结构基因以及调控基因PHO81表达的负调控因子,但不影响PHO4和PHO85的表达。还构建了PHO80-LacZ融合基因,探索它在细胞内的表达规律。β-半乳糖苷酶活力测定结果表明,PHO80基因在细胞内呈低水平表达,并受自身产物和PHO85的抑制,推测它与PHO5和PHO81基因的调控模式可能相似。
Through in situ hybridization,a 4.2 kb PstⅠ-BamH Ⅰfragment was obtained from S.cerevisiae gene library.The cloned fragment contained 1100 bp upstream sequence and 879 bp coding sequence of the PHO80 gene.Coding region of PHO80 gene was substituted with URA3 gene and used as donor to transform YPH499 to URA3.A pho80 mutant resulted from deletion of the chromosomal counterpart in PHO80 was oblained.In vivo functional study of the PHO80 gene indicated that PHO80 was a negative regulator in the Pi-repressible acid phosphatase system including the structural genes PHO5 and PHO11 and the regulatory gene PHO81,whereas the expression of PHO4 or PHO85 was independent of PHO80.The coding region of PHO80 was fused in frame with LacZ and β-galactosidase activities in various cells was deteimined.The results Showed that the PHO80 gene was expressed at a low level and suppressed by itself and PHO85.
