Yeast orthologues associated with glycerol transport and metabolism

Abstract

Glycerol is a key compound in the regulation of several metabolic pathways in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. From this yeast most of the genes involved in glycerol consumption, production and transport are now available. Some of the mechanisms involving glycerol metabolism and transport are common to other yeasts. This work presents a search for GPD1/2, GUT1, GUP1/2 and FPS1 orthologues in a series of hemiascomycetous yeasts. All the genes cloned were able to complement S. cerevisiae mutant phenotypes and presented a high degree of similarity to the corresponding genes in this yeast. A phylogenetic analysis is presented. The allocation of GUP genes in the membrane bound O-acyl transferases (MBOAT) family is suggested as more consistent than their inclusion in the TC-DB/glycerol uptake family.
