されていない。Conventional technology hEGF is secreted mainly from the duodenum and the submandibular line 5
It is a polypeptide hormone consisting of 3 amino acids and has gastric acid secretion inhibitory action and epidermal cell growth promoting action. The gastric acid inhibitory action of hEGF shows its potential as a therapeutic drug for duodenal tumor. Furthermore, it is known that hEGF binds to the EGF receptor present on the cell membrane surface to induce multifaceted biological reactions [D. G
ospodarowicz, “Annual Review
Of Physiology (Ann. Rev. Physio
l. ) ”, 43 251 (1981)]. The response induced by EGF is the same as the response induced by the oncogene product of oncovirus, and elucidation of the role of EGF in vivo and the mechanism of cell growth regulation is also important in order to investigate the mechanism of carcinogenesis. It is considered to be interesting. However, since the amount of naturally occurring hEGF is extremely small, recombinant DN
Production using technology A has come to the fore. hEGF
Since it is extremely difficult to obtain a gene from human tissues due to various restrictions, the DNA sequence of hEGF has not been determined yet.

ていない。On the other hand, the previously determined amino acid sequence of hEGF [H. Gregory, “Nature
e) ”, 257 , 325 ('75)], a chemically synthesized structural gene is known to be expressed in a microorganism. However, EGF is a peptide having a relatively low molecular weight, and is expressed as a fusion peptide in consideration of the fact that it is recognized as a foreign substance in the bacterial cell and is easily enzymatically decomposed [J. Smith et al., Nucleic Acids Research.

It is not suitable for mass production due to the slow growth rate of yeast.

った。Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, the DNA sequence of the hEGF gene has not yet been elucidated, and there have been attempts to express corresponding genes synthesized on the basis of the amino acid sequence of hEGF in various systems. In the method of expressing as a fusion peptide, there is complexity in its operation, difficulty in removing unnecessary portions, etc., and in the case of directly expressing the synthetic gene without using the fusion peptide, the production amount is extremely low, It wasn't practical.

Compared with 3)], there is 70% homology in the amino acid sequence, and most of the differences in amino acids are also derived by the one point mutation of the codon. That is, the DNA sequence of the hEGF gene is presumed to be very similar to that of mouse. Generally, when a DNA sequence is derived from an amino acid sequence, a large number of DNA sequences are possible due to degeneracy of codons. Therefore, as a standard for determining the sequence of the synthetic gene, it is customary to adopt the most accepted codon in the cells of the expression system [Itakura et al., "Science", 198 , 1056 (197).

第1図にはDNA配列に加えてアミノ酸配列を示す。However, recent findings show that eukaryotic genes can be expressed in prokaryotes without any problems and in some cases are more efficient than genes adapted to the expression system [M. H. C
aruthers, "Nucleic Acids Research, Symposium Series (Nucleic Aci
ds Research, Symposium Ser
ies) " 11 , 197 ('82)]. There are many factors for enhancing gene expression,
The stability of the mRNA corresponding to the structural gene and the translation efficiency are also emphasized. In this case, the higher-order structure determined by the base sequence of mRNA is presumed to have an important meaning. Considering these points, the DNA sequence of the hEGF gene should be similar to the mouse EGF gene as long as the amino acid sequence is not changed. In fact, when the hEGF gene was designed based on this idea, it was possible to have a homology close to 90% with that of the mouse. However, in order to construct the target gene accurately, the presence of relatively long self-complementarity on the DNA strand or abnormal complementarity between double-stranded DNAs should be minimized. A computer was used to make some modifications to satisfy these conditions.
We have found a new DNA sequence that is most suitable for the production of GF.
FIG. 1 shows the amino acid sequence in addition to the DNA sequence.
該遺伝子は融合ペプチドとして発現させることもできる
し、融合ペプチドとせず、直接hEGFとして発現する
こともできる。The gene can be expressed as a fusion peptide, or can be directly expressed as hEGF without being a fusion peptide.

遺伝子の3′末端側にhEGF以外の蛋白質をコードす
るDNAを配し、停止コドン(例えばTAG)で終って
もよい。In the former case, a DNA coding for a protein other than hEGF starting from the start codon ATG is placed at the 5′-end side of the hEGF synthetic gene, and ends with a stop codon (eg, TAG) or starts with the start codon ATG. A DNA encoding a protein other than hEGF may be placed at the 3'end of the gene and terminated with a stop codon (eg, TAG).
