摘要: The thioredoxin gene (trxA) from Escherichia coli K12 has been cloned on a 3-kilobase pair PvuII fragment in derivative of pBR325 (pBHK8). Thioredoxin protein production was amplified 150-200-fold strain containing pBHK8 (SK3981), with the greatest increase/cell observed after cultures reached stationary phase. A simple purification procedure, involving DEAE and AcA-54 column chromatography, yielded homogeneous approximately 70% yield. high amplification these cells (i.e. 10(6) copies/cell representing 40% total cell protein) approaches maximum yields seen genetically constructed cloning vehicles (Bernard, H.U., Helinski, D.R. (1980) Genetic Engineering (Setlow, J. K., Hollaender, A., eds) Vol. 2, pp. 133-167, Plenum Press, New York). This tremendous overproduction is attributed to plasmid copy number SK3981 (1700/cell). These results suggest role for DNA replication.
