ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a novel transcriptional and translational activating sequence. The novel activating sequence can be either chemically synthesized or isolated on a 0.17 kb PstI-SacI restriction fragment from plasmid pKC203, a plasmid of E. coli JR225 (ATCC 31912). The activating sequence directs expression of the aminoglycoside acetyltransferase aac(3)IV and hygromycin phosphotransferase aph(4) genes present on plasmid pKC203. A series of expression vectors have been constructed in which the activating sequence directs the expression of beta-galactosidase or hygromycin phosphotransferase. These vectors can be readily modified and have been designed to facilitate the subsequent cloning and expression of any gene of research or commercial interest. The expression and cloning vectors have been transformed into E. coli and other host cells in which the activating sequence functions.
