NOVEL DEVELOPMENT CONTROL SEQUUENCE OF GRAM POSITIVE BACTERIA

摘要

New gram-positive expression control DNA sequences useful in the expression of pro- or eukaryotic proteins in gram-positive organisms are provided having in the downstream direction of transcription a transcription initiation DNA sequence of gram-negative origin combined with a ribosome binding site-encoding DNA sequence, optionally a foreign gene and a transcription termination sequence. Also described are expression vectors containing these expression control DNA sequences and processes using same for the manufacture of pro- and eukaryotic polypeptides. In addition processes for the manufacture of such gram-positive expression control DNA sequences and such expression vectors are described.
