Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 172 words
A process for producing a fusion protein comprising a calcium-binding protein and biogenic substance of E. coli which facilitates the extracellular secretory production of the fusion protein, which process comprises: preparing a recombinant plasmid as a cloning vehicle for expression of the fusion protein in E. coli, said plasmid comprising a first DNA sequence consisting of a lipoprotein promoter region being linked in reading phase with a second DNA sequence located downstream of said first DNA sequence, said second DNA sequence coding for a signal peptide of outer membrane protein A and being linked in reading phase with a third DNA sequence located downstream of said second DNA sequence, said third DNA sequence coding for the fusion protein, inserting said plasmid into E. coli to obtain a transformed E. coliand cultivating the transformed E. coli in a suitable medium to produce said fusion protein, wherein said calcium-binding protein is selected from the group consisting of calmodulin, troponin c, myosin light chain, parvalubumin, vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding proteins, S-100, S-100β, calpactin, carpaine/CANP, and oncomodulin.
