Abstract
This invention relates to a Coriolus hirsutus host cell transformed with a vector containing a basidiomycete-derived promoter region selected from the group consisting of basidiomycete-derived ras and priA gene promoter regions. This invention is particularly characterized in that the basidiomycete-derived promoter region is a Lentinus edodes-derived ras or priA gene promoter region or a Coriolus hirsutus-derived ras gene promoter region. This host cell can be utilized for the high productivity of lignin degrading enzymes.

A Coriolus hirsutus host cell transformed with a vector containing a promoter region selected from the group consisting of a ras gene promoter region derived from Coriolus hirsutus, a ras promoter region derived from Lentinus edodes, and a priA gene promoter region derived from Lentinus edodes.
An isolated DNA fragment containing a Coriolus hirsutus-derived ras gene promoter region as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
An isolated DNA which contains a Coriolus hirsutus-derived ras gene promoter sequence and a ras gene sequence and has a nucleotide sequence shown in SEC ID NO:
- 2.
