YARROWIA N-ALKANE-HYDROXYLATING CYTOCHROME P450 PROMOTER REGIONS FOR GENE EXPRESSION IN YEAST

摘要

Promoter regions associated with the Yarrowia lipolytica n-alkane-hydroxylating cytochrome P450 (ALK2) gene are disclosed and have been found to be particularly effective for the expression of heterologous genes in yeast. These promoter regions will be useful for driving high-level expression of genes involved in the production of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
