    Abstract

    A 207 bp DNA fragment from the 5' region of the hyg gene of Streptomyces hygroscopicus was located preceding a DNA sequence encoding the mature form of human interferon alpha 2. This gene fusion, inserted in the Streptomyces vector pIJ702, expressed interferon activity in Streptomyces lividans indicating that the 207 bp sequence has promoter activity. The transcription initiation site was located. No significant homology with previously described Streptomyces promoters could be found. It appears therefore, it represents a novel class of Streptomyces promoters.
