摘要:
A recombinant plasmid for the expression of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is constructed by incorporating therein a combined promoter comprising (a) the fusion promoter (the tac promoter) composed of the trp promoter minus 35 region and the lac UV-5 promoter minus 10 region and (b) the P L promoter of the lambda phage, the tac promoter and the P L promoter being connected so as to have the same directional property. This recombinant plasmid permits more efficient expression of PAL in Escherichia coli.
摘要:
Optically active serine can be racemized at a high reaction rate under the relatively mild conditions by treating the optically active serine in an alkaline solution in the presence of pyridoxal phosphate or salicylaldehyde and an alkaline compound.
摘要:
Escherichia coli carrying a hybrid plasmid constructed by inserting a desired foreign gene into an expression vector, was cultured in a medium containing a sugar component utilizable by the E. coli as a carbon source at a concentration of 0.3% or more so that the expression of said desired foreign gene was suppressed. This E. coli was cultured in the medium in which the sugar concentration was maintained at 0.3% or more in a first process to suppress the foreign gene and to support sufficient cell growth and thereafter at less than 0.3% in a second process to release the suppression to permit effective production of the foreign gene product, which resulted in high concentration of the foreign gene product in the final culture.
摘要:
Human tissue type plasminogen activator (tPA) which is effective as a therapeutic agent is obtained at a high concentration by increasing the osmotic pressure of the cell culture medium or tPA producing medium using bicarbonate ion up to at least 350 milliosmole/liter optionally also supplementing the medium with an antiplasmin agent. Single-chain tPA is produced at a high concentration accordingly.
摘要:
A method for the production of human tissue type plasminogen activator (tPA) using cells includes use of a p-aminomethyl benzoic acid derivative to supplement a cell culture medium or a tPA producing medium and further an increase of osmotic pressure in the medium to 350 milliosmoles or more per litre. The method can produce single-chain tPA in a high concentration and with a relatively small amount of double-chain tPA in the medium.
摘要:
The 5-substituted hydantoins represented below can be transformed into D-α-amino acids by the use of the cultured broth, cells or treated cells of the genus Hansenula. 5-substituted hydantoins: wherein R represents an alkyl, substituted alkyl, phenyl or substituted phenyl group. D-a-amino acids: R-CH-COOH NH 2 wherein R represents the same meanings as above.
摘要:
Diclosed is a cloned gene encoding tryptophan synthase A and/or B. A recombinant plasmid containing the tryptophan synthase gene, an E. coli transformant transformed with the recombinant plasmid and a process of producing tryptophan synthase by culturing the transformant are also disclosed.
