Prm1 transcription factor in the P.pastoris GS115 strain

Transcription factor in the P. pastoris GS115 strain. Self-upregulates PRM1 expression and upregulates MIT1 and AOX1 expression.

Usage and Biology

The Prm1 transcription factor is homogeneous to the P. pastoris GS115 strain and is critical in the regulation of AOX1 (alcohol oxidase 1) expression in the methylotrophic yeast. Upon methanol induction, the Mxr1 transcription factor is expressed and the PRM1 promoter (P_PRM1) is activated. Mxr1 derepresses the AOX1 promoter (P_AOX1), whereas the Prm1 protein not only self-upregulates but also upregulates the expression of the MIT1 gene. Prm1 and Mit1 both upregulate AOX1 expression, allowing the yeast to rapidly produce enough alcohol oxidase 1 to metabolize methanol. Mit1 however, also downregulates the expression of PRM1, inhibiting the over-activation of P_PRM1, P_MIT1 and P_AOX1.

Functional Parameters

A single-base mutation is introduced for compatibility with Type IIS. This single mutation does not affect the protein sequence.
