摘要:
The efficiency of production of a heterologous protein by a transformant of a yeast host is improved.A method of constructing a host for expression of a foreign gene which comprises deleting or inactivating at least one gene selected from the protease-associated genes (especially, metalloprotease genes and serine protease genes) of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a host in which the above-mentioned gene is deleted or inactivated, a transformant obtained by introducing a foreign gene into the host and a method of producing a heterologous protein using the transformant.The protease-associated gene is at least one gene selected from the group consisting of psp3 (SPAC1006.01), is sxa2 (SPAC1296.03c), ppp51 (SPAC22G7.01c) and ppp52 (SPBC18A7.01) or at least two genes selected from the group consisting of metalloprotease genes and serine protease genes, especially, three genes psp3 (SPAC1006.01), isp6 (SPAC4A8.04) and ppp53 (SPAP14E8.04). A host in which four genes consisting of the above three genes and ppp16 (SPBC1711.12), or five genes consisting of the above four genes and ppp22 (SPBC14C8.03) are deleted or inactivated is preferred.

The present invention relates to a transformant, containing a lactate dehydrogenase gene which is introduced into Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a host, in which a part of a gene cluster encoding a pyruvate decarboxylase in the Schizosaccharomyces pombe host is deleted or inactivated.
摘要:
A method for transforming Schizosaccharomyces pombe which comprises integrating a vector into a chromosome of Schizosaccharomyces pombe through homologous recombination, wherein the vector has an expression cassette containing a heterologous protein structural gene and a promoter and a gene segment which induces homologous recombination of the chromosome and has lost a replication origin which functions in cells of an organism other than Schizosaccharomyces pombe required for construction of the vector.
