Vector having promoter that is inducible by methanol and/or glycerol
First Claim
1. A methanol and/or glycerol inducible expression cassette which comprises a promoter having the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ. I.D. No. 1;
- a heterologous gene downstream of said promoter; and
a terminator having the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ. I.D. No. 2 downstream of said heterologous gene.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an expression vector which is induced by methanol and/or glycerol utilizing an alcohol oxidase gene of a methylotrophic yeast; a recombinant methylotrophic yeast containing said vector and capable of accumulating a significantly high amount of an expression product of a heterologous gene; and a method for producing useful products utilizing said recombinant.
The expression vector is constructed by utilizing the promoter and terminator of an alcohol oxidase gene of methylotrophic yeast. Further, a significantly high amount of adenylate kinase, cytochrome C552 or peroxidase is produced by using said expression vector.
