A plasmid incorporating a gene encoding the DHFR-GIF fusion protein of the present invention has already been constructed by the present inventors (patent pending), but was previously unknown.

It is thought that it can be easily integrated into an appropriate expression vector and expressed in a host such as E. coli. However, even if short peptides are produced in a host such as E. coli, they will be degraded by proteases or the like, so even if the efficiency of gene expression is improved, they cannot be accumulated within the cells. Therefore, when attempting to produce a short polypeptide such as GIF using genetic engineering technology, it is necessary to create a fusion gene and express it as a fusion protein.

7残基/分子という値であった。This value almost matched. In addition, the SH group content of DHFR (1-168) whose carboxy terminal side has not been changed (
3 residues/molecule) were similarly measured and the results were 2.4 to 2.
The value was 7 residues/molecule.
以上の結果は2組換えプラスミドpGIF1を含有する
E、 co目C600株から得られたDHFR−GIF
融合タンパクが、確かにGIFを含んでいることを示し
ている。The above results demonstrate that DHFR-GIF obtained from the E. coccine strain C600 containing the two recombinant plasmids pGIF1.
This shows that the fusion protein does indeed contain GIF.
