  • Title: Cloning and characterization of a TEF gene for elongation factor 1 alpha from the yeast Arxula adeninivorans.
    Author: Rösel H, Kunze G.
    Journal: Curr Genet; 1995 Sep; 28(4):360-6. PubMed ID: 8590482.
    Abstract:
    The translation elongation factor EF-1 alpha appears to play a major role in the control of cell proliferation and ageing in higher eukaryotes. Here we report the cloning of the TEF1 gene encoding the elongation factor 1 alpha of the dimorphic yeast Arxula adeninivorans Ls3. The gene is localized on chromosome 2 from Arxula adeninivorans, comprises 1380 bp and encodes a protein containing 459 amino acids. In contrast to other fungi, a second TEF gene encoding an identical, or nearly identical, polypeptide could not be identified. The transcriptional activity of the TEF1 gene did not change during mycelial growth, whereas a slight decrease could be detected during the yeast growth.
