Molecular cloning and analysis of autonomous replicating sequence of Candida maltosa.
A Candida maltosa chromosomal DNA fragment which confers high frequency transformation of C. maltosa and autonomous replication of recombinant plasmids was cloned and sequenced. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the cloned DNA revealed a sequence homologous for C. maltosa autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) elements. Vector pRJ1 for C. maltosa was constructed, which contained a 1.3 kb ARS sequence, pICEM-19H and the ADE1 gene of C. maltosa. Southern blot analysis suggested that the copy number of pRJ1 in C. maltosa was approximately 20 per genome. The sequence analysis also revealed an open reading frame, encoding a polypeptide with high homology (70%) to the RS15 protein of Brugia pagangi. This open reading frame has an intron with canonical sites for correct splicing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
