Metallothionein gene from Tetrahymena thermophila with a copper-inducible-repressible promoter.

ABSTRACT: We describe a novel metallothionein gene from Tetrahymena thermophila that has a strong copper-inducible promoter. This promoter can be turned on and off rapidly, making it a useful system for induction of ectopic gene expression in Tetrahymena and enhancing its applications in cell and molecular biology, as well as biotechnology.
