Abstract excerpt
We have expressed human alpha and beta-globin cDNA clones from separate, synthetic galactose-regulated hybrid promoters contained on a single plasmid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Co-expression of the alpha and beta-globin chains in S. cerevisiae results in the assembly of these proteins into soluble tetrameric hemoglobin that accumulates to 3-5 percent of the total cell protein. Endogenously produced heme is...
