Abstract: | Dinitrogenase reductase, a component of a complex and highly regulated prokaryotic enzyme, nitrogenase, is expressed in the eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A plasmid pH-ADH-1 was constructed that directs the expression of the Klebsiella pneumoniae nifH gene, encoding dinitrogenase reductase, from the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase I promoter. In addition to being polyadenylated, yeast nifH-specific RNA is shown to be under the regulation of the alcohol dehydrogenase I promoter and is the size predicted by the nifH nucleotide sequence. Yeast transformed with the pH-ADH-1 plasmid synthesizes a polypeptide that reacts with antisera raised against dinitrogenase reductase and which, on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels, co-migrates with dinitrogenase reductase isolated from K. pneumoniae. |
