The HOG1 gene encodes a MAP kinase that plays an essential role in maintaining water homeostasis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A gene homologous to S. cerevisiae HOG1 has been isolated from a highly salt-tolerant yeast, Debaryomyces hansenii, by phenotypic complementation. DNA sequencing of

✦ Synopsis
To study the function of GCR3, a gene involved in the expression of glycolytic genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a Candida albicans gene which complements the growth defect of the gcr3 mutant was isolated. Transformants of this gene also recovered the glycolytic enzyme activities. Its DNA sequencing predicted an 886 amino acid protein with 30•4% identity to the Gcr3p of S. cerevisiae. Its DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank Accession Number is AB015281.
