Hansenula fabianii J640 highly expresses an extracellular glucoamylase (GA). Here, we purified the GA and showed that it has pH and temperature optima of 5.0 and 50 °C, respectively, stable at temperatures up to 50 °C, and is inhibited by Ag(2+), Hg(2+), and Cu(2+). The gene was found in an expression library with anti-GA antibodies. A cDNA was found to encode 491 amino acids, including a putative signal peptide of 21 amino acids. Because of the gene's high expression, we used its promoter and terminator regions to improve a previously developed H. fabianii J640 expression system.

We previously developed a host vector system for the wastewater treatment yeast Hansenula fabianii J640. The promoter and terminator regions of the gene encoding glucoamylase from H. fabianii J640 were used for a new expression vector, pHFGE-1.

Inorganic phosphate is an essential nutrient. In general, microorganisms take up phosphorus when the extracellular phosphorus concentration is low, but not when it is high. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the major phosphate transporters, such as Pho84p, and acid phosphatases (APases), such as Pho5p, are regulated in parallel by the phosphate signal transduction pathway (PHO pathway).

A transformation system for Hansenula fabianii J640, a commonly used wastewater treatment yeast, was constructed. As a host cell, a uracil auxotrophic mutant designated as H. fabianii J640 u-1, which was confirmed to have a mutation at the locus of the gene for orotidine-5'-phosphate (OMP) decarboxylase (URA3), was obtained by positive selection using 5-fluoroorotic acid.
