Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to isolated promoters and constructs, vectors, and fungal host cells comprising such promoters operably linked to polynucleotides encoding polypeptides. The present invention also relates to methods for producing such polypeptides.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a polypeptide, comprising: (a) cultivating a fungal host cell in a medium conducive for the production of the polypeptide, wherein the fungal host cell comprises a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide operably linked to a promoter selected from the group consisting of (i) a promoter comprising a nucleotide sequence that has at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1; and (ii) a promoter comprising SEQ ID NO: 1; wherein the polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide is foreign to the promoter; and (b) isolating the polypeptide from the cultivation medium. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the promoter comprises the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein one or more portions of the promoter sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 is contained in a hybrid promoter. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the promoter sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 is contained in a tandem promoter. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide is foreign to the fungal host cell. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fungal host cell is a filamentous fungal cell. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fungal host cell is a yeast cell. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the promoter comprises a nucleotide sequence having at least 96% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the promoter comprises a nucleotide sequence having at least 97% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the promoter comprises a nucleotide sequence having at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the promoter comprises a nucleotide sequence having at least 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1.
