title: Cloning of DNA Fragments Possessing Promoter Function from Kluyveromyces cicerisporus.
abstract: Using three yeast promoter-probe plasmids pSK-kan401, pSK-kan1105, pSK-kan1238 with different reading frames, eight DNA fragments possessing high efficient promoter function have been cloned from K. cicerisporus. Their 3'-DNA sequences have been analyzed. The relative strength of their promoter function was studied by comparing their ability to promote the expression of the reporter gene APHI with that of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (GAPDH) promoter in K. lactis. The results showed that the insertion fragments in pSK-kan401-41 and pSK-kan1105-51 have stronger promoter function and they are also functional in K. cicerisporus Y179.
