摘要
A versatile plasmid shuttle vector system pKDU7 was constructed, which is useful for the heterologous gene expression in a wide range of Kluyveromyces and Saccharomyces strains. This cloning vector was constructed using the 1.6-mu m circular plasmid pKD1 of Kluyveromyces drosophilarum, the URA3 gene of K. marxianus as well as the pUC19 sequences. The stability of vector in transformants strongly depends on the integrity of the functionally important elements of pKD1. It was shown by comparison of three recombinant vectors, which possessed the pKD1 sequence inserted in different ways. The efficient transformation and stability maintenance of the vector constructed in various strains of Kluyveromyces and Saccharomyces was shown by the expression of the EPG1 gene of the Kluyveromyces marxianus encoding pectin-degrading endopolygalacturonase.
