Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is an osmotolerant yeast known for its ability to survive in high-sugar environments, a trait that influences its role in fermentation and its capacity to spoil food products . Altered Inheritance of Mitochondria (AIM) proteins, including AIM36, are crucial for mitochondrial function and inheritance . AIM36, also known as Found in Mitochondria Protein 39 (FMP39), is a protein found in Zygosaccharomyces rouxii mitochondria . Recombinant AIM36 is produced in E. coli and may be used in research applications .
AIM36 is encoded by the gene AIM36 (ZYRO0A07700g), with synonyms including FMP39 . The protein has the UniProt ID C5DQ08 . The recombinant form of the protein, expressed in E. coli, includes a His tag for purification purposes . The full-length recombinant Zygosaccharomyces rouxii AIM36 protein consists of amino acids 36-238 .

Recombinant AIM36 is produced in E. coli and purified to greater than 90% purity, as determined by SDS-PAGE . It is often expressed with an N-terminal His tag to facilitate purification using affinity chromatography .
Zygosaccharomyces rouxii adapts to high sugar environments through differential gene expression . Key processes include glucan synthesis, transmembrane transport, and ribosome activity, which differ significantly from those in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a less tolerant yeast . For example, genes like FKS3 and KRE9, which are involved in cell wall remodeling, show different expression patterns in Z. rouxii compared to S. cerevisiae under sugar stress .
