    Notes: During studies of integrative transformation in Hansenula polymorpha, it was found that transformants with plasmids possessing the LEU2 gene of H. polymorpha were frequently unstable and lost plasmids while growing on non-selective medium. These transformants possessed reorganized plasmids capable of replication in H. polymorpha. Two such plasmids were isolated and characterized. It was shown that they contain additional DNA segments which were not present in the original plasmid used for transformation. Southern hybridization analysis carried out with labeled DNA probes derived from these segments showed that they consisted of H. polymorpha DNA. The hybridization patterns indicated that corresponding sequences were homologous to several chromosomal regions. These chromosomal DNA segments apparently carried H. polymorpha autonomous replicating sequences (HARS), since plasmids bearing them could transform H. polymorpha with high efficiency and were maintained in transformants in an autonomous state. Sequence analysis of one such captured chromosomal fragment revealed several eight- to ten-base AT-rich blocks similar to the presumed HARS sequence defined by Roggenkamp et al. (1986). Analogous reorganization was also observed with respect to integrative plasmids carrying the TRP3 and HIS3 genes of H. polymorpha and the ADE2 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as selectable markers.

    Notes: A DNA fragment carrying the LEU2 gene of methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha was isolated by complementation of the leuB mutation of Escherichia coli. The nucleotide sequence of the isolated DNA fragment contains an open reading frame of 363 codons, coding for a protein 80% identical to the LEU2 gene product of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Further downstream, there is a partial reading frame with no obvious similarity to known proteins. The LEU2 gene of H. polymorpha cannot complement the leu2 mutation of S. cerevisiae. The sequence has been entered in the EMBL data library under the Accession Number U00889.

    Notes: Insertion of the HindIII-PstI fragment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2 μm DNA into the Hansenula polymorpha replicative plasmids decreases plasmid copy number and ensures their distribution to daughter cells at both mitotic and meiotic cell divisions. This suggests that the stabilization effect is caused by the improvement of plasmid partitioning. Deletion analysis revealed that the region of 2 μm DNA sequence responsible for the increase of mitotic stability of H. polymorpha plasmids involves the 2 μm STB locus and adjoining region. Further analysis demonstrated that the stabilization effect may depend on the number of 24-28 bp imperfect repeats which were found in several copies in the STB locus and adjoining region. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
