RÉGIONS PROMOTRICES DE DIACYLGLYCÉROL ACYLTRANSFÉRASE D'YARROWIA POUR L'EXPRESSION DU GÈNE DANS LA LEVURE

摘要

Promoter regions associated with the Yarrowia lipolytica diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (dgat2) 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.
