DNA transfer vectors for human proinsulin and human pre-proinsulin, microorganisms transformed thereby, and processes involving such substances.

摘要

A DNA having a base sequence coding for human proinsulin and a DNA having a base sequence coding for human pre-proinsulin have been cloned, and novel recombinant DNA transfer vectors containing said cloned DNAs have been constructed. Novel microorganisms transformed by said recombinant transfer vectors have been obtained. Certain of said transformed microorganisms have demonstrated capability to express the cloned DNA's, synthesizing a protein comprising human proinsulin and a protein comprising human pre-proinsulin.
