摘要:
This invention provides a method of stabilizing a host microorganism / expression vector system for large scale production of a protein which comprises transforming an auxotrophic strain of said microorganism, having at least one mutation in the tryptophan operon such that the cells are unable to produce sufficient tryptophan to survive or grow, with a recombinant vector which comprises (a) a gene which encodes a protein of interest and is under the control of regulatory sequences for expression and (b) one or more functional trp genes, under the control of regulatory sequences for expression, which at least complement the mutation(s) in the tryptophan operon of the host cells thereby enabling the said host cells to synthesize tryptophan.
摘要:
A method and vectors for high level expression of genes in bacteria are disclosed. According to one aspect, the present invention provides a method for expressing a gene coding for a desired protein in a bacterium at elevated levels of expression, which comprises ligating at a site adjacent to the translation termination codon of a structural gene for the desired protein, a terminal mRNA sequence from a gene coding for a stable mRNA coding for a bacterial protein; situating the ligated gene so formed in a vector that is replicable in the bacterium such that the gene is operably linked to a transcription promoter; transforming the bacterium with the vector containing the gene; and expressing the gene in the transformed bacterium.
