Abstract

Double-stranded DNA encoding the human hormone somatomedin-C (SMC) has been synthesized. This synthetic gene has been inserted into a plasmid bearing the strong leftward promoter (PL) of bacteriophage lambda and expressed in E. coli. Codons for the N-terminal region of SMC which maximized the hormone's synthesis were chosen in an SMC-lac z fusion assay. The amounts of SMC accumulated in E. coli were influenced by mutations at two chromosomal loci, lon and htpR.
