Abstract
We have examined heterologous protein secretion from Candida glabrata with the aid of a stable C. glabrata vector and a secretion reporter cassette comprising the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PGK-gene promoter and a Kluveromyces Iactis secretion signal to drive secretion of Escherichia coli beta-lactamase. Abundant secretion of beta-lactamase from C. glabrata indicates that the S. cerevisiae PGK promoter functions in C. glabrata. Furthermore, we show that C. glabrata processes the secreted beta-lactamase in a manner similar to, but not identical with, S. cerevisiae and K. lactis. C. glabrata may be a suitable new host for the expression of foreign genes.
