High impact information on FAA2

  • We have isolated and characterized three unlinked Fatty Acid Activation genes from S. cerevisiae, FAA1, FAA2, and FAA3 [1].
  • GFP-FAA2 was inducible by oleate, as is the wild type gene, demonstrating that specific expression patterns are not grossly affected by the promoter manipulation [2].
