title: Expression of chicken egg white lysozyme by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: An efficient yeast promoter was isolated using a beta-galactosidase (beta Gal) promoter probe vector. This promoter was then used to express chicken egg white lysozyme in yeast using a complete intron-free lysozyme-coding sequence constructed by in vitro recombination between a cDNA clone lacking the 5' end and the corresponding 5' end from a nuclear DNA clone. The resulting lysozyme is efficiently exported into the growth medium suggesting that the chicken signal sequence is recognized by the yeast secretion process.
