Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a DNA construct capable of being transformed into a yeast or mammalian cell for the secretion of heterologous proteins therefrom. The construct comprises a transcriptional promoter operably linked to a DNA sequence encoding a signal peptide, followed in reading frame by a second DNA sequenca encoding a portion of the BAR1 gene product, including at least a portion of the C-terminal domain and a heterologous protein or polypeptide. The invention may be used to express a variety of proteins including urokinase, insulin, platelst-derived growth factor and analogs thereof. The signal sequence and the sequence encoding a portion of the Barrier Cterminal region encode a hybrid secretory peptide which is then used to direct the secretion of heterologous proteins or polypeptides from host cells. The secretory peptide is subsequently cleaved from the heterologous protein.
