Abstract:
Gene expression in heterologous species is a powerful tool for the cloning and characterization of genes. Here, we present a family of expression shuttle vectors which work in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and also in mammalian cells. The quantity of product expressed by the gene under study can be modulated in yeast by virtue of the control over plasmid copy number and culture conditions.
