title: Analysis of the ntp1+ gene, encoding neutral trehalase in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
abstract: We have cloned and sequenced the ntp1+ gene that codes for neutral trehalase in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The ntp1+ gene product (Ntp1p) showed a 45-55% identity with neutral trehalases from other yeasts at the amino acid sequence level. However, in clear contrast to other neutral yeast trehalases so far characterized (which show two cAMP phospho-sites), only one consensus site for cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation was found in Ntp1p. Northern blot hybridization experiments demonstrated that the Wis-Phh1/Sty1 MAP kinase cascade regulates ntp1+ expression during osmostress.
