Abstract
The objective of the present invention is to provide a transformation method that is applicable to a wide variety of species of algae with high efficiency. The promoter of the present invention is characterized in containing a polynucleotide constituting a non-coding region located upstream from a gene encoding a replication-associated protein of a CdebDNA virus or the like.
Claims5
A promoter, containing any one of the following polynucleotide (1) to (3):
- (1) a polynucleotide constituting a non-coding region located upstream from a gene encoding a replication-associated protein of a CdebDNA virus;
- (2) a polynucleotide corresponding to the polynucleotide (1) with one or more nucleotide deletions, substitutions or additions and activating expression of a gene encoding an arbitrary protein in an algal cell;
- (3) a polynucleotide hybridizing with the polynucleotide (1) in a stringent condition and activating expression of a gene encoding an arbitrary protein in an algal cell.
