1 ACC1 overexpression led to decreased fatty acid content in the squalene-overproducing strain (factor of 0.7), while sterols and squalene were increased (factor of 1.5). Fatty Acids acetyl-CoA carboxylase ACC1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
2 In the wild-type strain, ACC1 overexpression led to increased levels of both fatty acids and squalene/sterols (factors of 4.0 and 1.7, respectively). Fatty Acids acetyl-CoA carboxylase ACC1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
3 The microarray expression profiles showed that genes upregulated in ACC1-overexpressing strains are FAS1, ERG11, ERG28, ERG5, ERG2 and ERG20, supporting the observed increase of zymosterol and saturated fatty acids. Fatty Acids acetyl-CoA carboxylase ACC1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
