| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ogataea minuta is a methylotrophic yeast species. As the structure of glycans in O. minuta is similar to that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we have chosen this yeast species as a host for the production of therapeutic glycoproteins. To refine the production system, we are investigating mechanisms of mating and sporulation in O. minuta, which enable genetical analysis in this species, and developing plasmids propagated in O. minuta cells.
We determined DNA sequence around MAT locus in O. minuta, and found that two MAT loci were surrounded by a couple of inverted repeat sequences, as reported in Ogataea (Hansenula) polymorpha. We clarified that the mating type is switched by inversion of the chromosomal region between two MAT loci. To identify autonomous replicating sequence (ARS) in O. minuta, we constructed plasmid library from O. minuta genomic DNA and looked for plasmids that were retained without integrating into genomic DNA. As a result, we isolated 12 candidate sequences for ARS.
