PglaA inducible promoter: glucoamylase gene promoter (PglaA) from Aspergillus niger

The Aspergillus a-glucoamylase (GlaA) enzyme is involved in starch utilization. The glaA promoter is induced by starch, maltose, and low concentrations of glucose but repressed by xylose (1). Basal transcription of glaA requires only 214 bp upstream of the start codon, while a high-level transcription expression requires the upstream region including -562 and -318 bp in the promoter region. The glaA promoters among different Aspergillus species are conserved.
