The nitrite reductase-encoding gene (YNI1) from the yeast Hansenula polymorpha was isolated from a lambda EMBL3 H. polymorpha genomic DNA library, using as a probe a 481 bp DNA fragment from the gene of Aspergillus nidulans encoding nitrite reductase (niiA). An open reading frame of 3132 bp, encoding a putative protein of 1044 amino acids with high similarity with nitrite reductases from fungi, was located by DNA sequencing in the phages lambdaNB5 and lambdaJA13. Genes YNI1 and YNR1 (encoding nitrate reductase) are clustered, separated by 1700 bp. Northern blot analysis showed that expression of YNI1 and YNR1 is co-ordinately regulated; induced by nitrate and nitrite and repressed by sources of reduced nitrogen, even in the presence of nitrate. A mutant lacking nitrite reductase activity was obtained by deletion of the chromosomal copy of YNI1. The mutant does not grow in nitrate or in nitrite; it exhibits a similar level of transcription of YNR1 to the wild type, but the nitrate reductase enzymic activity is only about 50% of the wild type. In the presence of nitrate the delta ynil::URA3 mutant extrudes approx. 24 nmol of nitrite/h per mg of yeast (wet weight), about five times more than the wild type.
