Earlier, we showed that the lsd90 promoter elicited significantly greater GFP expression level than the adh1 and nmt1 promoters, albeit in different vector backbones. Here, we have systematically investigated the contribution of selectable markers, LEU2 and URA3m to GFP expression: while LEU2 elicited very low expression, the URA3m gene, with truncated promoter, elicited much greater GFP expression level with all promoters. Paradoxically, an inverse correlation was observed between the GFP transcription and translation efficiency. This system can be useful for understanding the factors governing recombinant gene expression and optimization of protein production.
