NOVEL NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES THAT INCREASE GENE EXPRESSION, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING PROTEINS USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to novel stab nucleic acid molecules that increase gene expression, wherein said stab nucleic acid molecules are interposed between a promoter and a target gene to increase the expression rate of a downstream target gene. More particularly, the present invention relates to novel stab nucleic acid molecules existing upstream from the mwp gene of Brevibacillus brevis, and to novel stab nucleic acid molecules in which nucleic acids of the 5' end of the mwp structural gene are connected to the 3' end of said nucleic acid molecules. Further, the present invention relates to a vector containing said stab nucleic acid molecules, to a host cell containing said vector, and to a method for producing target proteins from said host cell.
