ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a copper-inducible promoter system of yeast for the controlled expression of recombinant genes. The invention comprises a promoter element comprising at least two tandemly-repeated MRE sequences and a minimal TATA element from the 35S-promoter of the cauliflower mosaic virus.
