Abstract To construct a vector for high-level expression of heterologous genes in Lentinus edodes, the L. edodes GPD promoter, which is expressed constitutively and strongly, was fused to a hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hph) derived from Escherichia coli as a selective marker. Using the resulting pLG-hph construct, L. edodes was efficiently transformed to hygromycin resistance by restriction enzyme-mediated integration (REMI). The restriction enzyme concentrations yielding the maximal numbers of transformants by the REMI method were 10 U per transformation in the case of BglII and 25–50 U in the case of HindIII. Southern analysis of the transformants indicated that some 50% of plasmid integrations were REMI-mediated events. These results indicate that pLG is a useful vector for transformation of L. edodes. Deletion analysis of the GPD promoter region suggested that the segment between positions −442 bp and −270 bp relative to the transcription start point may be essential for function.
