    • Isolation and characterization of extrachromosomal double-stranded RNA elements from carotenogenic yeasts 
      Baeza, Marcelo; Fernández Lobato, María; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Cifuentes, Víctor (Humana Press, 2018)
      Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules are widely found in yeasts and filamentous fungi. It has been suggested that these molecules may play an important role in the evolution of eukaryote genomes and could be a valuable ...
    • Metallopeptidase Stp1 activates the transcription factor Sre1 in the carotenogenic yeast Xanthophyllomyces ... 
      Gómez, Melissa; Gutiérrez Gutiérrez, María Soledad; González, Ana; Gárate Castro, Carla; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Barahona, Salvador; Baeza, Marcelo; Cifuentes, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2020)
      Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycete yeast known as a natural producer of astaxanthin, a carotenoid of commercial interest because of its antioxidant properties. Recent studies indicated that X. dendrorhous has ...
    • Pectinase secreted by psychrotolerant fungi: Identification, molecular characterization and heterologous ... 
      Carrasco, Mario; Rozas, Juan Manuel; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer; Cifuentes, Víctor; Baeza, Marcelo (BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
      Background: Pectinolytic enzymes, which are used in several industries, especially in the clarification process during wine and fruit juice production, represent approximately 10% of the global enzyme market. To prevent ...
    • Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (Sre1) promotes the synthesis of carotenoids and sterols in ... 
      Gutiérrez, María Soledad; Campusano, Sebastián; González, Ana María; Gómez, Melissa; Barahona, Salvador; Sepúlveda, Dionisia; Espenshade, Peter J.; Fernández-Lobato, María; Baeza, Marcelo; Cifuentes, Víctor; Alcaíno Gorman, Jennifer (Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)
      Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycete yeast that synthesizes carotenoids, mainly astaxanthin, which are of great commercial interest. Currently, there are many unknown aspects related to regulatory mechanisms ...
