Production of heterologouus proteins from Zygosaccharomyces bailii
The production of recombinant gene products from cultures of the yeast Zygosaccharomyces bailii strains transformed with expression vectors bearing the gene coding for the proteins.
1. A strain of Z. bailii transformed with an expression vector comprising an ARS sequence from S. cerevisiae , a CEN (centromeric) sequence from Z. bailii or S. cerevisiae , a gene coding for a protein, a promoter controlling the expression of the gene, and a marker.
2. A strain according to claim 1 , produced by transforming Z. bailii ATCC36947, Z. bailii ATCC60483, or Z. bailii ISA1307 with an expression vector comprising an ARS sequence from S. cerevisiae , a CEN (centromeric) sequence from Z. bailii or S. cerevisiae , a gene coding for a protein, a promoter controlling the expression of the gene, and a marker.
