RESUMO
The reduction of acetate ester synthesis by aeration and the addition of unsaturated fatty acids to the medium has been reported to be the result of the reduction in alcohol acetyltransferase (AATase) activity induced by inhibition of this enzyme. However, regulation of the AATase gene ATF1 has not been reported. In this study, ATF1 gene expression was studied by Northern analysis, and the results showed that the ATF1 gene was repressed both by aeration and by unsaturated fatty acids. The results also showed that the reduction of AATase activity is closely related to the degree of repression of ATF1 mRNA, which suggested that the gene repression is the primary means of reducing AATase activity in vivo. Using the Escherichia coli lacZ gene as a reporter gene, it was shown that a 150-bp fragment of the 5' flanking sequence played a major role in the repression by aeration and unsaturated fatty acid addition.
