HFA1

acetyl-CoA carboxylase HFA1, L000000769, YMR207C
Mitochondrial acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase; catalyzes production of malonyl-CoA in mitochondrial fatty acid biosynthesis; relocalizes from mitochondrion to cytoplasm upon DNA replication stress; HFA1 has a paralog, ACC1, that arose from the whole genome duplication

Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Metabolic engineering is an attractive approach in order to improve the microbial production of drugs. Triterpenes is a chemically diverse class of compounds and many among them are of interest from a human health perspective. A systematic experimental or computational survey of all feasible gene modifications to determine the genotype yielding the optimal triterpene production phenotype is a laborious and ... [more]

Throughput

  • Low Throughput

Ontology Terms

  • chemical compound accumulation (APO:0000095)

Additional Notes

  • genetic complex
  • overexpression of both genes results in a synergistic increase in the production of ergosterol
  • overexpression of erg8, erg9 and hfa1 causes a synthetic increase in ergosterol production over that seen in the double mutants
