Description
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDA) is an enzyme that catalyzes the sixth step of glycolysis. The gene gpdA is constitutively expressed in A. nidulans (Punt et al., 1990). Moreover, the gpdA promoter is able to drive robust transcription of heterologous genes. Intracellularly expressed model heterologous proteins like the E. coli b-galactosidase (lacZ) and b-glucuronidase (uiaA) under the control of the gpdA promoter can account for up to 10???25% of soluble protein in A. niger (Punt, Zegers, Busscher, Pouwels, & van den Hondel, 1991). The ability to drive constitutive tran- scription makes the gpdA promoter particularly useful for expression, under varying cultures conditions, of selection markers and reporter genes, many of which are from heterologous sources
