A process for obtaining hirudin derivatives from E. coli secretor mutants in which (1) a recombinant vector on which the gene coding for a hirudin derivative is located directly behind a DNA section which codes for a bacterial signal peptide is constructed, (2) a E. coli secretor mutant is transformed with the recombinant vector constructed in step (1), (3) the transformed cells are cultivated in a medium and (4) the hirudin derivative is obtained from the medium, and a recombinant vector which contains one or more copies of a gene construct which codes for a protein consisting of a bacterial signal peptide and a hirudin derivative, and a hirudin derivative with the N-terminal amino-acid sequence A-Thr-Tyr-Thr-Asp in which A is Ala, Gln, His, Phe, Tyr, Glu, Ser, Asp or Asn are described. |
