The inducible promoter MOX can be used in which of the following host expression system? (a) K. lactis (b) H. polymorpha (c) S. cerevisiae (d) S. occidentalis
Question
The inducible promoter MOX can be used in which of the following host expression system? (a) K. lactis (b) H. polymorpha (c) S. cerevisiae (d) S. occidentalis
Solution
The inducible promoter MOX can be used in the host expression system H. polymorpha (b). This promoter is derived from the methanol oxidase gene of H. polymorpha and is used to control the expression of genes in this yeast. It is induced by methanol and repressed by glucose.
