title: New expression vectors for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
abstract: A general expression vector (pMB332) for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe was constructed. The heterologous gene expression is driven by the S. pombe alcohol dehydrogenase (adh) promoter. Transcription termination signals were isolated from the S. pombe actin gene. The vectors carry the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ura3 gene, which complements the S. pombe ura4 mutation. The plasmid stability is conferred by the S. pombe ars and stb elements isolated from pFL120 [(1983) Cell 32, 371-377]. An 'ATG' vector (pMB340) was created, which allows the expression of protein fragments fused to a translational start codon downstream of the adh promoter. The function of this vector system is shown by the production of the human blood coagulation protein factor XIIIa.
