title: [Creation of artificial hybrid operons with partially overlapping genes to achieve an expression of heterologous genes in Escherichia coli cells].
abstract: A new method of optimization of foreign gene expression in E. coli, based on the construction of hybrid operons with partially overlapping genes is described. The partial overlapping of the translation termination and initiation sites in the formed operon must provide translational coupling of appropriate gene product synthesis. Such an approach has provided the synthesis of human interferon alpha F in E. coli cells under the control of the lacUV5-promotor up to about (3-4).10(7) units per liter of bacterial culture. The reinitiation of the distal gene translation is shown to take place in the intercistronic region. Substitution of the lacUV5 promotor by the more efficient tac one allowed to increase the synthesis level of interferon alpha F to (1-2).10(8) units per liter. The conclusion is made about the equimolarity of distal and proximal to the promotor genes products syntheses when the intercistronic region of E. coli trpE-trpD genes are used for translational coupling.
