title: A high-copy-number ADE2-bearing plasmid for transformation of Candida glabrata.
abstract: The Candida glabrata ADE2 gene encoding aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (AIR) carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.21) was isolated by complementation of the ade2-1 mutation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The predicted amino acid (aa) sequence is 75% identical to that of S. cerevisiae. Integrative transformation was used to produce a C. glabrata strain bearing a deletion of ADE2 coding sequences. A high-copy-number shuttle vector bearing the ADE2 gene was constructed and contains a fragment of S. cerevisiae mitochondrial (mt) DNA that confers the ability to replicate autonomously in C. glabrata.
