Abstract
The 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolases catalyze the last step of the fatty acid β-oxidation pathway. In yeasts and plants, this pathway takes place exclusively in peroxisomes, whereas in animals it occurs in both peroxisomes and mitochondria. In contrast to baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, yeast species from the Debaryomycetaceae family also encode a thiolase with predicted mitochondrial localization. These yeasts are able to utilize a range of hydroxyaromatic compounds via the 3-oxoadipate pathway the last step of which is catalyzed by 3-oxoadipyl-CoA thiolase and presumably occurs in mitochondria. In this work, we studied Oct1p, an ortholog of this enzyme from Candida parapsilosis. We found that the cells grown on a 3-oxoadipate pathway substrate exhibit increased levels of the OCT1 mRNA. Deletion of both OCT1 alleles impairs the growth of C. parapsilosis cells on 3-oxoadipate pathway substrates and this defect can be rescued by expression of the OCT1 gene from a plasmid vector. Subcellular localization experiments and LC-MS/MS analysis of enriched organellar fraction-proteins confirmed the presence of Oct1p in mitochondria. Phylogenetic profiling of Oct1p revealed an intricate evolutionary pattern indicating multiple horizontal gene transfers among different fungal groups.

Abstract
3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT) is known as an inhibitor of catalase to whose active center it specifically and covalently binds. Subcellular fractionation and immunoelectronmicroscopic observation of the yeast Candida tropicalis revealed that, in 3-AT-treated cells in which the 3-AT was added to the n-alkane medium from the beginning of cultivation, catalase transported into peroxisomes was inactivated and was present as insoluble aggregated forms in the organelle. The aggregation of catalase in peroxisomes occurred only in these 3-AT-treated cells and not in cells in which 3-AT was added at the late exponential growth phase. Furthermore, 3-AT did not affect the transportation of catalase into peroxisomes. The appearance of aggregation only in cells to which 3-AT was added from the beginning of cultivation suggests that, in the process of catalase transportation into yeast peroxisomes, some conformational change may take place and that correct folding may be inhibited by the binding of 3-AT to the active center of catalase. Accordingly, 3-AT will be an interesting compound for investigation of the transport machinery of the peroxisomal tetrameric catalase.

Abstract
In the yeast Candida rugosa the lipase isozymes are encoded by a family of genes, five of which have been cloned and sequenced in our laboratory. In this paper we report on the identification and preliminary characterization of two new related sequences, thus extending this multigene family to seven members. The total DNA content of Candida cells was estimated by laser flow-cytometry at about 20 Mb. Eight chromosomes with sizes ranging between 100 kb and 2.1 Mb, as determined by comparison with S. cerevisiae chromosomal bands, were resolved by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The lipase-encoding genes were localized on chromosome I, therefore suggesting that they have originated through multiple duplication events of an ancestral gene.

Abstract
We have studied the genetic interactions between mutant alleles in 12 genes, designated PER1-PER12, which are essential for peroxisome biogenesis in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha. Recessive mutations in any of these genes determined three different morphological phenotypes: (i) complete absence of peroxisomes (Per-); (ii) presence of small peroxisomes in conjunction with a major fraction of peroxisomal matrix proteins in the cytosol (Pim-); and (iii) presence of peroxisomes with aberrant crystalline matrix substructure (Pss-). Extensive complementation analysis showed many cases of noncomplementation--that is, diploids that contained both wild-type and mutant alleles of two different PER genes were unable to grow on methanol and showed peroxisomal defects. The observed cases of unlinked noncomplementation appeared to be gene and allele specific and were predominantly observed at lower temperatures (cold sensitive). The genetic results obtained were used to formulate a model of PER gene product interactions. In this model, five PER gene products are key or core components of the complex. Other PER gene products appear to play a more peripheral role.

Abstract
Two genes encoding acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (thiolase I; EC 2.3.1.9), whose localization in peroxisomes was first found with an n-alkane-utilizing yeast, Candida tropicalis, were isolated from the lambda EMBL3 genomic DNA library prepared from the yeast genomic DNA. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that both genes contained open reading frames of 1209 bp corresponding to 403 amino acid residues with methionine at the N-terminus, which were named as thiolase IA and thiolase IB. The calculated molecular masses were 41,898 Da for thiolase IA and 41,930 Da for thiolase IB. These values were in good agreement with the subunit mass of the enzyme purified from yeast peroxisomes (41 kDa). There was an extremely high similarity between these two genes (96% of nucleotides in the coding regions and 98% of amino acids deduced). From the amino acid sequence analysis of the purified peroxisomal enzyme, it was shown that thiolase IA and thiolase IB were expressed in peroxisomes at an almost equal level. Both showed similarity to other thiolases, especially to Saccharomyces uvarum cytosolic acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (65% amino acids of thiolase IA and 64% of thiolase IB were identical with this thiolase). Considering the evolution of thiolases, the C. tropicalis thiolases and S. uvarum cytosolic acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase are supposed to have a common origin. It was noticeable that the carboxyl-terminal regions of thiolases IA and IB contained a putative peroxisomal targeting signal, -Ala-Lys-Leu-COOH, unlike those of other thiolases reported hitherto.

Abstract
Using different DNA probes from the first two previously described alkane-inducible cytochrome P450 genes of the Candida tropicalis CYP52 gene family, we isolated five independent additional members by screening a genomic library under low-stringency conditions. These genes are not allelic variants and, when taken gogether, constitute the largest gene family known in this organism. The seven members of this gene family are located on four different chromosomes and four of them are tandemly arranged on the C. tropicalis genome. The products of the seven genes, alk1 to alk7, were compared to each other and revealed a high degree of divergence: the two most diverged proteins exhibit a sequence identity of only 32%. Six of the seven genes were shown to be induced by a variety of different aliphatic carbon sources but repressed when the organism was grown on glucose. Three of the five additional CYP52 genes could be successfully expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and display different substrate specificities in in vitro assays with model substrates: alk2 and alk3 exhibit a strong preference for hexadecane, while alk4 and alk5 preferentially hydroxylate lauric acid.
