Zusammenfassung:The invention generally features a novel recombinant DNA molecule useful for producing a heterologous protein, e.g., insulin-like growth factor-I, in yeast. The DNA molecule includes the following sequences joined in frame and in the following 5' to 3' progression: a sequence encoding a signal peptide of a yeast secreted protein; a sequence encoding at least 5 amino acids of the N-terminal region of a mature acid phosphatase protein, a sequence encoding a heterologous protein. Preferably the DNA molecule also encodes a spacer element that includes a proteolytic cleavage site.
