There is disclosed a method for providing for the coexpression of N-myristoyltransferase and a protein substrate for said N-myristoyltransferase in E. coli comprising introducing into E. coli a dual plasmid system comprising (A) the isopropyl- beta -D-thiogalactopyranoside-inducible tac promoter, the g10-L ribosome binding site, a NMT gene, the kanamycin resistance gene and the p15A origin of replication in operable sequence and (B) the recA promoter, the g10-L ribosome binding site, a mammalian gene, the ampicillin resistance gene and the Col E1 origin of replication in operable sequence. This allows production of mammalian N-myristoylproteins or proteins containing covalently linked analogs of myristate with altered physical-chemical properties.
