[Expression in Escherichia coli cells of the nucleotide sequence of DNA coding for the bovine lipotropic hormone]
Abstract
A cDNA fragment of bovine proopiomelanocortin coding for beta-lipotropic hormone was joined with a promoter and ribosome binding site of B. amyloliquefaciens and cloned in E. coli in pBR 327 plasmid. The level of beta-lipotropin synthesis in bacterial cells transformed by the obtained plasmid was estimated immunochemically. The level of beta-lipotropin production was shown to be 5 mg per liter of bacterial culture.
