DNA fragments having basidiomycete-derived promoter activity and expression of foreign genes under control of the promoter activity

摘要

This invention relates to a Coriolus hirsutus host cell transformed with a vector containing a basidiomycete-derived promoter region selected from the group consisting of basidiomycete-derived ras and priA gene promoter regions. This invention is particularly characterized in that the basidiomycete-derived promoter region is a Lentinus edodes-derived ras or priA gene promoter region or a Coriolus hirsutus-derived ras gene promoter region. This host cell can be utilized for the high productivity of lignin degrading enzymes.
