Abstract
A yeast promoter comprising the promoter of the (cytoplasmically located glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (GPD 1) possesses advantageous capacity to regulate the expression of heterologous polypeptides in yeasts transformed therewith. Expression of such polypeptides utilizing the GPD1 promoter can be regulated by the presence(repressed) or absence(derepressed) of high levels of sucrose or glucose in the fermentation medium. Alternatively, a non-repressing carbon source, such as glycerol or ethanol, can be added to the fermentation medium.
