  • Title: Heterologous protein secretion directed by a repressible acid phosphatase system of Aspergillus niger.
    Author: MacRae WD, Buxton FP, Gwynne DI, Davies RW.
    Journal: Gene; 1993 Oct 15; 132(2):193-8. PubMed ID: 8224863.
    Abstract:
    A new expression-secretion system of Aspergillus niger which directs the secretion of heterologous proteins is described. The promoter and signal peptide-encoding region of the phosphate-repressible aphA gene of A. niger, when fused to the coding region of the human interferon alpha 2 (hIFN alpha 2)-encoding gene (hIFN alpha 2), drives the expression of this gene and the secretion of the hIFN alpha 2 protein. Synthesis of hIFN alpha 2 in either A. niger or A. nidulans transformants carrying these constructs was regulated by inorganic phosphate (Pi) present in the medium, so that derepression of heterologous protein expression can be attained by lowering Pi concentration.
