Yarrowia lipolytica HygR marker

Resistance marker gene for Hygromycin B, designed for expression for Yarrowia lipolytica.

-

Usage and Biology

Due to the limited number of auxotrophic markers available for Yarrowia lipolytica, we had to use antibiotic-resistance markers for the selection of possible attempted deletion in our chassis. In order to use the selection marker, we had to use 200µg/ml of hygromycin B in our selection plates.

Hygromycin B tends to kill cells by interfering in polypeptide synthesis, making the organism unable to synthesise proteins. The selection marker gene, which codes for a phosphotransferase, confers resistance by modifying the hygromycin B drug molecule; making it ineffective.
