GC-rich DNA elements enable replication origin activity in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris.

The well-studied DNA replication origins of the model budding and fission yeasts are A/T-rich elements. However, unlike their yeast counterparts, both plant and metazoan origins are G/C-rich and are associated with transcription start sites. Here we show that an industrially important methylotrophic...
