The recently cloned cDNA for pea chloroplast thioredoxin f was used to produce, by PCR, a fragment coding for a protein lacking the transit peptide. This cDNA fragment was subcloned into a pET expression vector and used to transform E. coli cells. After induction with IPTG the transformed cells prod

β¦ Synopsis
A 1.5 kb plasmid-encoded lysostaphin gene fragment of Staphylococcus staphylolyticus was amplified by polymerase chain reaction OPCR) and cloned in Escherichia coli by using plasmid pET29b(+) as an expression vector. By optimizing culture conditions, the activities of lysostaphin were expressed as 66 %, 30 %, and 4 % in extracellular, intraeeilular, and periplasmic fractions of recombinant E. coli, respectively. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by using a simple one-step fractionation on bacterial cells of lysostaphin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus mutant. The recombinant enzyme had an Mr of approximate 27 kDa, and its bacteriolytic activity was indistinguishable to the authentic lysostaphin purified from Staphylococcus staphylolytlcus.

The genes for ferredoxin from heterocysts (fdx H) and vegetative cells (pet F) ofAnabaena sp. strain 7120 were subcloned into plasmid pUC 18/19. Both genes were expressed in Escherichia coli at high levels ( ~ 10 ~o of total protein). Pet F could be expressed from its own promoter. The ferredoxins w
