Surface expression vector for constitutive high-expression using promoter of galactose mutarotase gene derived from Lactobacillus casei, and use thereof

Abstract

Provided is a galactose mutarotase gene promoter derived from Lactobacillus casei and the use thereof, and more particularly, to a Lactobacillus casei-derived galactose mutarotase gene promoter having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, an expression vector containing the promoter, and a microorganism transformed with the expression vector. A microorganism transformed with an expression vector containing the promoter may effectively express a target protein on the cell surface, and thus is useful as a vaccine vehicle or the like. Moreover, provided is a surface expression vector having pgsA, which is a gene encoding poly-gamma-glutamate synthetase, and a method of expressing a target protein on the microbial surface using the vector. The vector containing foreign genes inserted therein is transformed into a microorganism and allows a foreign protein is to be stably expressed on the surface of the microorganism.
