1DT1 - PubMed Abstract: 
We describe the design of Escherichia coli cells that synthesize a structurally perfect, recombinant cytochrome c from the Thermus thermophilus cytochrome c552 gene. Key features are (1) construction of a plasmid-borne, chimeric cycA gene encoding an Escherichia coli-compatible, N-terminal signal sequence (MetLysIleSerIleTyrAlaThrLeu AlaAlaLeuSerLeuAlaLeuProAlaGlyAla) followed by the amino acid sequence of mature Thermus cytochrome c552; and (2) coexpression of the chimeric cycA gene with plasmid-borne, host-specific cytochrome c maturation genes (ccmABCDEFGH) ...
