Abstract

The present invention is a method for expressing functional polypeptides in Streptomyces using a recombinant DNA expression vector comprising a novel transcriptional- and translational- activating sequence. The novel activating sequence can be synthesized by conventional methods and used in Streptomyces expression vectors. One such vector, plasmid pFJ350, expresses and confers hygromycin resistance in Streptomyces host cells.
