Autonomously replicating sequences, GAPDH gene and promoter derived from Hansenula polymorpha, expression vectors containing same and method for the selection of transformants

摘要

Autonomously replicating sequences(ARS), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH) gene and GAPDH promoter derived from Hansenula polymorpha DL-1(ATCC 26012); a vector for H. polymorpha which contains the novel ARS and is capable of inserting tandem repeating multiple copies of a polynucleotide encoding a foreign protein to the chromosome of H. polymorpha; a process for the production of a foreign protein in H. polymorpha by employing said vector; and a method for the selection of transformed H. polymorpha having multiple copies of integrated foreign genes.
