title: Construction of a plasmid for high level expression of Escherichia coli phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase.
abstract: The minimum size DNA fragment (3011 bp) containing the entire phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [EC 4.1.1.31] gene of E. coli was cloned into a modified plasmid vector of high copy-number. The gene expression was directed by its own promoter and the content of the enzyme reached about 30% of total soluble protein of the transformed cells.
