title: Expression of marY1, a gypsy-type LTR-retroelement from the ectomycorrhizal homobasidiomycete Tricholoma matsutake, in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: marY1 is a gypsy-type LTR-retroelement present in the genome of the ectomycorrhizal homobasidiomycete Tricholoma matsutake. We document here that a marY1-lacZ gene fusion was expressed in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The finding strongly suggests that marY1 is activated by trans-regulatory factors common to higher fungi, and may be useful for the development of new recombinant systems in ectomycorrhizal fungi and homobasidiomycetes.
