    Characterization, regulation, and phylogenetic analyses of the Penicillium griseoroseum nitrate reductase gene and its use as selection marker for homologous transformation
    (Canadian Journal Of Microbiology, 2004) Pereira, Jorge Fernando; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira de; Lopes, Francis Júlio Fagundes; Rocha, Rodrigo Barros; Daboussi, Marie-Josée; Araújo, Elza Fernandes de
    Penicillium griseoroseum has been studied because of its efficient pectinases production. In this work, the Penicillium griseoroseum nitrate reductase gene was characterized, transcriptionally analyzed in different nitrogen sources, and used to create a phylogenetic tree and to develop a homologous transformation system. The regulatory region contained consensus signals involved in nitrogen metabolism and the structural region was possibly interrupted by 6 introns coding for a deduced protein with 864 amino acids. RT-PCR analysis revealed high amounts of niaD transcript in the presence of nitrate. Transcription was repressed by ammonium, urea, and glutamine showing an efficient turnover of the niaD mRNA. Phylogenetics analysis showed distinct groups clearly separated in accordance with the classical taxonomy. A mutant with a 122-bp deletion was used in homologous transformation experiments and showed a transformation frequency of 14 transformants/microg DNA. All analyzed transformants showed that both single- and double-crossover recombination occurred at the niaD locus. The establishment of this homologous transformation system is an essential step for the improvement of pectinase production in Penicillium griseoroseum.

    Impala, a transposon from Fusarium oxysporum, is active in the genome of Penicillium griseoroseum
    (FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2002-12-12) Queiroz, Marisa Vieira de; Daboussi, Marie-Josée
    An autonomous impala transposon trapped in Fusarium oxysporum by insertion within the niaD gene encoding nitrate reductase was introduced in the genome of the fungus Penicillium griseoroseum, a producer of pectinase enzymes. Through a phenotypic assay, we demonstrate that this element is able to excise from the niaD gene and to reinsert at new genomic positions. As in the original host, impala inserts into a TA site and footprints left by impala excisions are generally 5 bp. The fact that impala is able to transpose in P. griseoroseum offers the opportunity to develop a gene-tagging system based on this element with the objective to detect and clone genes related in pectinase production.
