Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the simultaneous integration of two or more copies of a polynucleotide of interest into the chromosome of a fungal host cell comprising at least two pairs of recognition sequences of a site-specific recombinase, each pair flanking a resident negative selection marker; transformation of the cell with a construct carrying a gene of interest also flanked by the recognition sequences to ensure double-crossover events after transient expression of the recombinase, followed by selection for excision of all negative selection markers from the cell.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a recombinant fungal host cell comprising at least one first polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide of interest; and one or more second polynucleotide encoding a fungal PepC protease, wherein the one or more second polynucleotide is operably linked to a regulated heterologous promoter, as well as a method for producing a polypeptide of interest, comprising cultivating said fungal host cell.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having protease activity and isolated polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for reducing or eliminating the expression of a target gene in a filamentous fungal strain, comprising: (a) inserting into the genome of the filamentous fungal strain a double-stranded transcribable nucleic acid construct comprising a first nucleotide sequence comprising a promoter operably linked to a homologous coding region of the target gene and a second nucleotide sequence comprising the homologous coding region, or a portion thereof, of the target gene, wherein the first and second nucleotide sequences are complementary to each other and the second nucleotide sequence is in reverse orientation relative to the first nucleotide sequence; and (b) inducing production of an interfering RNA encoded by the double-stranded transcribable nucleic acid construct by cultivating the filamentous fungal strain under conditions conducive for production of the interfering RNA; wherein the interfering RNA interacts with RNA transcripts of the target gene to reduce or eliminate expression of the target gene. The present invention also relates to the filamentous fungal strains and to methods of producing a biological substance of interest in such filamentous fungal strains.
