). The use of rDNA or plasmids containing rDNA replication origins as vectors to carry the target gene allows the target gene to be introduced into the MAC and maintain its high copy number (Table 1). The constructed DNA is integrated into the rDNA mini-chromosome and transcribed normally. Expression of the transformed target gene can be regulated further by modifying its promoter, such as by replacing the original promoter with the histone H4 promoter (Yao and Yao 1991, Kahn
