✦ Synopsis
The gene encoding centromere binding factor 3d (CBF3D) of the human pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata has been isolated by hybridization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBF3D (ScCBF3D) DNA to a C. glabrata partial genomic library. Sequence analysis revealed a 540 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 179 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 20•9 kDa. The amino acid sequence is highly homologous (78•6% identity) to ScCbf3d and 48•3% identical to the human homologue p19 (SKP1). Southern blot analysis indicates that CgCbf3d is encoded by an unique nuclear gene. The cloned CgCBF3D gene can functionally substitute the S. cerevisiae homologue in a S. cerevisiae CBF3D-deletion mutant.
