Abstract: | Synthetic genes coding for artificial proteins with predeflnedand nutritionally valuable amino acid compositions have beenconstructed and cloned In bacterial plasmid vector pKK233-2.The genes were constructed from three easily interchangeablecassettes encoding either essential, non-essentialor branched-chain amino acid residues. A potential hairpin loopstructure in the mRNA around the region of the ribosome bindingsite was probably the reason for blockage of translation fromthis vector. Two selected genes, AHB (containing one copy ofeach cassette) and A (consisting of six copies concatemerizedA6cassette) were cloned into pUR300, a (ß-Gal fusionvector and expressed as fusion proteins (ß-Gal-AHBand (ß-Gal-A6. |
