Using yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the integrate vector system, we have isolated and characterized an autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) from Aspergillus nidulans. The DNA fragment, designated ANR1, is 5.0 kb in size and maintained free from the chromosome in S. cerevisiae. The YIplac211-ANR1 recombinant plasmid, which consists of sequences derived from the yeast integrative vector YIplac211 and 5.0 kb ANR1 fragment, showed a 10⁴-fold enhancement in transformation efficiency over that found for YIplac211, and was easily recovered from the transformed yeast. Genetic analysis of transformants showed that YIplac21-ANR1 could be over 96% cured when cultured over 20 generations in complete medium and thus suggests that this sequence is mitotically unstable. In A. nidulans, recombinant plasmid PILJ16-4.5 which carries the 4.5 kb EcoRI fragment of ANR1 showed a 170-fold enhancement in transformation efficiency compared to that of the integrative vector PILJ16.

In order to express the CDC70 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by heat shock, we have designed heat inducibe hybrid promoters using the Drosophila melanogaster heat shock elements (HSEs). A 220 bp-long upstream fragment of the D. melanogaster hsp70 gene comprised of four HSEs was placed upstream of the putative proximal TATA box of the CDC70 gene. Hybrid promoters containing different fusion joints were tested for their ability to drive the CDC70 gene expression by heat shock. The results showed that the HSEs of D. melanogaster conferred the heat-induced CDC70 gene expression, but the heat inducibility was much lower than that in D. melanogaster.
