Popis: DNA fragments corresponding to the sequences of Escherichia coli tRNA(2ser) and amber suppressor tRNA(ser), were synthesized from overlapping oligonucleotides. These were interposed between a strong promotor and a synthetic transcriptional terminator to ensure the production of a transcript of the correct size. The genes of promotor, fragment and terminator were cloned into a conditional runaway replication plasmid. At temperatures below 37 degrees C this vector has a low copy number but, following a temperature shift to 42 degrees C, the copy number is no longer regulated. Using these constructs an overexpression of tRNA(ser) of about 20 times the level of the wild-type pool could be obtained (corresponding e.g. to 200 times the expression tRNA(2ser)). From these systems 10 mg quantities of tRNA(ser)s could be isolated with a serine acceptance of 1,100 pmol/A280 unit.
