Zusammenfassung:Methods for producing heterologous proteins in a host organism whereby the proteins are processed through the secretory pathway of the host are provided. Secretion is achieved by transforming a host organism with a DNA construct comprising a transcriptional promoter operably linked to DNA sequences encoding a signal peptide, at least a portion of the BAR1 C-terminal domain capable of directing the export of heterologous proteins and a heterologous protein or polypeptide. DNA constructs and transformants are also provided wherein the DNA sequence encoding at least a portion of the C-terminal domain of BAR1 capable of directing the export of heterologous proteins further comprises a DNA sequence encoding a proteolytic cleavage site operably linked to the DNA sequence encoding a heterologous protein.
