Why This Gene?

We chose this gene after reading an article that summarized the findings of an interesting study on yeast genes that impart flavor in beer and wine during the brewing process. This particular gene was one of two genes that were identified as producing higher levels of a compound called phenylethyl acetate, which imparts a flavor reminiscent of rose or honey (de Carvalho et al., 2017). FAS2 was one of those two genes; it is responsible for encoding the alpha subunit of fatty acid synthase, an enzyme that is unsurprisingly involved in fatty acid synthesis. We thought it would be interesting to explore this gene as it is also essential for the synthesis of essential fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, which is the most common fatty acid present in eukaryotes.
