YEAST (SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE) PROMOTER SEQUENCE FOR GLYCEROL-3-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE AND ITS USE IN HETEROLOGOUS GENE EXPRESSION.

摘要

A yeast promoter, believed to be that for glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, has been sequenced and characterised and can be used to regulate expression of heterologous genes in yeast. In particular, expression can thereby be depressed by addition of glycerol or ethanol to the fermentation medium.
