Ura3 promoter

This part is the promoter of the Ura3 gene of Yarrowia lipolytica.

Usage and Biology

The Ura3 gene encodes the orotidine 5'-phosphate decarboxylase, an enzyme (EC. 4.1.1.23) that catalyzes the decarboxylation of orotidine monophosphate to uridine monophosphate in the pyrimidine ribonucleotides synthesis pathway. In the absence of this enzyme, the cells are able to grow only if uracil or uridine are present in the media.

It is a wildly used auxotrophic selection marker in yeast.
