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 sequencin

โฆ Synopsis
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 the clone revealed the presence of an open reading frame encoding a protein 387 amino acids long. The deduced amino acid sequence showed very high similarity with homologous genes identiยฎed from S. cerevisiae, Candida albicans and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. In addition, it has also TGY motif characteristics of hyperosmolarity-activated MAP kinases.
