Vector for high level gene expression

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5998302
A method is described for expressing a gene encoding a desired protein in an E. coli host at elevated levels of expression, which comprises: (a) inserting a structural gene encoding a desired protein and the trpt sequence of the E. coli tryptophan operon into a vector replicable in an E. coli host, such that the sequence is adjacent to and downstream from the translation termination codon of the structural gene; (b) transforming the E. coli host with the vector; and (c) expressing the structural gene in the thus transformed E. coli host.
