Abstract:
:The n-alkane-assimilating diploid yeast, Candida tropicalis, possesses two acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (Thiolase I) isozymes encoded by one allele: peroxisomal and cytosolic Thiolase Is encoded by both CT-T1A and CT-T1B. To clarify the function of peroxisomal and cytosolic Thiolase Is, the site-directed mutation leading Thiolase I delta C6 without a putative C-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal was introduced on CT-T1A locus in the ct-t1b delta-null mutant. The C-terminus-truncated Thiolase I was active and solely present in the cytosol. Although the ct-t1a delta/t1b delta-null mutants showed mevalonate auxotrophy, the mutants having the C-terminus-truncated Thiolase I did not require mevalonate for growth, as did the strains having cytosolic Thiolase I. These results demonstrate that the presence of Thiolase I in the cytoplasm is indispensable for the sterol synthesis in this yeast. It is of greater interest that peroxisomal and cytosolic Thiolase I isozymes, products of the same genes, play different roles in the respective compartments, although further investigations will be necessary to analyze how to be sorted into peroxisomes and the cytosol.
