Abstract:
A method for producing a polypeptide, comprising:(a) cultivating a fungal host cell in a medium for the production of the polypeptide, wherein the fungal host cell comprises a first nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide operably linked to a second nucleic acid sequence comprising a promoter foreign to the first nucleic acid sequence, wherein the promoter comprises a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of (i) nucleotides 1 to 938 of SEQ ID NO:2; (ii) a subsequence of (i) that retains the promoter activity of nucleotides 1 to 938 of SEQ ID NO:2; and (iii) a nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes under medium stringency conditions with nucleotides 1 to 938 of SEQ ID NO:2; and (b) isolating the polypeptide from the cultivation medium.
