Abstract
A composition for expression of a protein-encoding gene in a host cell is described, making use of an heterologous regulon. This composition provides a protein-encoding gene under control of a promoter heterologous to the host cell, and a gene for an RNA polymerase, preferably a single-subunit RNA polymerase that recognizes the promoter heterologous to the host cell. The gene for the RNA polymerase is under control of an inducible promoter recognized by the host cell. Also disclosed is a method for expressing the protein-encoding gene using the composition described.
