H. Arai et al., PRODUCTION OF RECOMBINANT CYTOCHROME C-551 IN A PSEUDOMONAS-AERUGINOSA MUTANT STRAIN, Journal of fermentation and bioengineering, 79(5), 1995, pp. 489-492
A mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lacking the cytochrome c-551 gene (
nirM) was constructed by marker exchange mutagenesis. When the nirM ge
ne was introduced in this strain using a multi-copy expression vector,
pHA10, recombinant cytochrome c-551 was produced as a hole-form under
aerobic conditions, whereas the expression was not observed when the
nirM gene specifically lacking the signal sequence for membrane transl
ocation was used.
