Novel efficient promoter of the mitochondrial porin, voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), in the genome of the Yarrowia lipolytica yeast

Abstract

This article presents the characteristics of the highly inducible promoter of the gene encoding the mitochondrial porin, the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC). This promoter is recommended for use in new genetic constructs both in basic research for assessing the adaptive strategy of lower eukaryotes under adverse conditions and in designing new highly competitive transformants producing economically important compounds (proteins, lipids, and organic acids) on its basis.
