TheSaccharomyces diastaticusstructural geneSTA2, encoding an extracellular glucoamylase (1,4-α-d-glucan glycohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.3.), has been cloned by complementation of astaostrain. A genomic library was initially constructed from aSTA2yeast strain in the yeastEscherichia colishuttle cosmid vector pYCl. The Sta+complementing function was further delimited to an 8.3 kbBglII fragment whose restriction map was found to be similar to related genomic regions ofSTA1andSTA3. Fusions of several DNA fragments derived from the 8.3 kbBglII fragment with a truncatedE. coliβ-galactosidase gene resulted in two overlapping fragments that could direct the production of large fusion proteins inE. coli. These fusion proteins were immunoprecipitable by anti-glucoamylase II antibodies, confirming that the Sta+complementing fusion was due to the expression of a gene that coded for a yeast glucoamylase. Measurements of theSTA1, STA2andSTA3RNA transcripts by RNA-DNA hybridization using an internal fragment of the clonedSTA2gene as the probe indicated that a common transcript of 2.5 kb is produced by each of theSTAgenes. Integrative disruption of theSTA2gene through homologous recombination was achieved by transforming aSTA2yeast strain to Sta−using an in vitro constructed donor DNA fragment that has theURA3gene inserted within the coding region of the cloned glucoamylase gene. This was confirmed by tetrad analysis of crosses between strains carrying a disruptedSTA2and a functionalSTA2. Southern blot analysis usingBamHI digested genomic DNA from 15 tetrads demonstrated consistent co-segregation and Mendelian inheritance of the Sta−phenotype withSTA2::URA3. These data further confirm that the cloned DNA that showed Sta+complementing activity carries a functionalSTA2gene that encodes the yeast extracellular glucoamylase II.
