RNA polymerase I promoter and splice acceptor site recognition affect gene expression in non-pathogenic Leishmania species

RNA polymerase I promoter and splice acceptor site recognition affect gene expression in non-pathogenic Leishmania species

Leishmania (Sauroleishmania) tarentolae has biotechnological potential for use as live vaccine against visceral leishmaniasis and as a system for the over expression of eukaryotic proteins that possess accurate post-translational modifications. For both purposes, new systems for protein expression i...
