摘要

An expression vector (CIpI0-MAL2p) for Use in Candida albicans has been constructed in which a gene of interest can be placed under the control of the CaMAL2 maltase promoter and stably integrated at the CaRPIO locus. Using this vector to express the Candida URA3 gene from the CaMAL2 promoter, we have demonstrated tight regulation of CaURA3 expression by carbon source. Thus under conditions when the CaMAL2 promoter is not induced, expression of Candida URA3 was unable either to complement a C. albicans ura3 mutation or to confer sensitivity to 5-fluoroorotic acid, a compound which is highly toxic to URA3 strains. Since Candida albicans is an obligate diploid organism, analysis of gene function requires manipulation of both copies of any gene of interest. Our expression vector provides a strategy by which the remaining copy of a gene of interest can be placed under CaMAL2 promoter control in a strain where the first copy has been deleted, permitting analysis of gene function by manipulation of carbon source. Clpl0-MAL2p should therefore provide a useful means for functional analysis of genes in C. albicans. We have used this strategy with' C. albicans DPB2 to demonstrate that the gene is essential and that loss of function leads cells to adopt a hypha-like morphology as they cease proliferation.
