Nucleotide sequence and protein overproduction of bacteriophage T4 thioredoxin.

PMCID: PMC253257  PMID: 3735493

Abstract

The bacteriophage T4 thioredoxin gene was cloned and physically mapped to 47.6 kilobases from the reference BamHI site. The DNA sequence is consistent with that reported from earlier protein sequence studies. The gene was subcloned into a lambda pL overexpression vector which allowed for the isolation of approximately 5 mg/liter.
