The functionality of P-galactosidase encoded by the E. coli lacZ gene as a reporter of gene expression in C. glabrata was investigated. C. glabrata/E. coli shuttle vectors were constructed, containing both a C. glabrata CEN-ARS cassette, to allow regular segregation and episomal replication of the plasmids, and the lacZ coding sequence of E, coli. The functionality of P-galactosidase in C. glabrata was verified by inserting the promoter and the 5' coding region of the HIS3 gene from C. glabrata directionally upstream of the lacZ gene. By fusing the promoter of the copper-controlled MTII gene to the lacZ reporter, we showed that P-galactosidase activity can be differentially induced in C. glabrata. P-galactosidase reporter activities were detected qualitatively by an indirect filter assay and quantitatively from permeabilized cells. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
