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 nucleic acid construct comprising a polynucleotide encoding a 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. 2. The nucleic acid construct of claim 1 , wherein the promoter comprises a nucleotide sequence having at least 96% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1. 3. The nucleic acid construct of claim 1 , wherein the promoter comprises a nucleotide sequence having at least 97% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1. 4. The nucleic acid construct of claim 1 , wherein the promoter comprises a nucleotide sequence having at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1. 5. The nucleic acid construct of claim 1 , wherein the promoter comprises a nucleotide sequence having at least 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1. 6. The nucleic acid construct of claim 1 , wherein the promoter comprises the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. 7. The nucleic acid construct of claim 1 , wherein the promoter sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 is contained in a tandem promoter. 8. A recombinant host cell comprising the nucleic acid construct of claim 1 . 9. The recombinant host cell of claim 8 , which is a filamentous fungal cell. 10. The recombinant host cell of claim 8 , which is a yeast cell.
