KlADH4 yeast promoter, ethanol inducible

This part is the ethanol inducible promoter controlling the KlADH4-gene of K. lactis.

The use of this ethanol inducible promoter to produce heterologous proteins in K. lactis was shown by Salioa et al. 1999 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=9872759].

We characterized this part in S. cerevisiae (strain INVSc1) to find out whether this part is also ethanol-inducible in this yeast.


Usage and Biology

The UASe-region of this promoter has been shown to be responsible for the ethanol sensitivity of this promoter in K. lactis (Mazzoni et al., 2000 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=10724480]). The region includes binding sites for the Rap1-protein (repressor activator protein 1) and the Yap1-protein (a transcription factor involved in stress response) as well as two heat shock elements (HSE) and five stress response elemtents (STRE). All these cis-elements and the respecitve proteins also occur in S. cerevisiae. For this reason we wanted to examine whether the KlADH4-promoter remains ethanol inducible if it is transferred from its natural organism (K. lactis) to S. cerevisiae.

The characterization of this part was done using a KlADH4-promoter + eGFP construct.

In a first experiment, the transformed yeast cells were picked grown in a pre-culture (SC-U Medium) over night and transferred into SC-U Medium with different concentrations of ethanol (0%, 4%, 8%, 10%). The eGFP-fluorescence and the OD600 were measured at t = 0h, 3h, 18h, 21h, 24h.

For the evaluation of the experimental data, the measured fluorescence was divided by the respecitve OD600, to normalize the fluorescence to the respecitve cell count. This was done to take the intrinsic auto-fluorescence in account. The results are shown below:

The promoter is generally functional in S. cerevisiae, which can be seen by the fact that eGFP is expressed (also see
