Abstract
No eukaryotic species has a system for homologous DNA recombination of the mitochondrial genome. We report on an integrative genetic system based on the pQ-SRUS construct that allows the expression of the RecA recombinase from Bacillus subtilis and its transportation to mitochondria of Yarrowia lipolytica. The targeting of recombinant RecA to mitochondria is provided by leader sequences (5'-UTR and 3'-UTR) derived from the SOD2 gene mRNA, which exhibit affinity to the outer mitochondrial membrane and provides cotranslational import of RecA to the inner space of mitochondria. The accumulation of RecA in mitochondria of the Y. lipolytica recombinant strain bearing the pQ-SRUS construct has been shown by immunoblotting of purified mitochondrial preparations.
