Vectors expressible in a host that is the rhaBAD promoter region of the L-rhamnose operon operably linked to a transcriptional unit that is:

Rhamnose promoter expression system

New vectors expressible in a host comprising the promoter region of the melibiose operon operably linked to a transcriptional unit that includes nucleic acid sequence which is heterologous to the host. The expression of the nucleic acid sequence is controlled by the promoter region of the melibiose operon. The new vector can be used for the regulated heterologous expression of a nucleic acid sequence in a prokaryotic host. There is an isolated and purified nucleic acid sequence expressible in a host comprising the promoter region of the melibiose operon operably linked to a transcriptional unit that includes a nucleic acid sequence which is heterologous to the host. The expression of the nucleic acid sequence is controlled by the promoter region of the melibiose operon. A prokaryotic host is transformed with the vector or the isolated and purified nucleic acid sequence. There is a method for producing a polypeptide in a host using the vector.
