  • Vector for expression of polypeptides in bacilli
    Patent number: 4801537
    Abstract: A replicable plasmidic expression vector, capable of high levels of expression and secretion of polypeptides in a bacillus is disclosed. The vector contains a DNA sequence comprising the promoter and regulatory regions which control expression and secretion of proteases in a bacillus operably liked to a DNA sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide. The expression vector is particularly useful in the production of B. amyloliquefaciens proteases or other heterologous proteins in B. subtilis.
