Methylotrophic yeasts have been widely recognized as a promising host for production of recombinant proteins and value-added chemicals. Promoters for controlled gene expression are critical for construction of efficient methylotrophic yeasts cell factories. Here, we summarized recent advances in characterizing and engineering promoters in methylotrophic yeasts, such as Komagataella phaffii and Ogataea polymorpha. Constitutive and inducible promoters controlled by methanol or other inducers/repressors were introduced to demonstrate their applications in production of proteins and chemicals. Furthermore, efforts of promoter engineering, including site-directed mutagenesis, hybrid promoter, and transcription factor regulation to expand the promoter toolbox were also summarized. This mini-review also provides useful information on promoters for the application of metabolic engineering in methylotrophic yeasts. KEY POINTS: • The characteristics of six methylotrophic yeasts and their promoters are described. • The applications of Komagataella phaffii and Ogataea polymorpha in metabolic engineeringare expounded. • Three promoter engineering strategies are introduced in order to expand the promoter toolbox.
