The gene coding for the prepolypeptides of alpha and beta, obtained as a 429 bp fragment from chromosomal DNA of Rhodospirillum rubrum S1 by polymerase chain reaction amplification, were cloned in tandem into the high-level expression vector pOTSNco 12 for expression in Escherichia coli. The vector pOTSNco12 is a derivative of the pAS vector system, which contains the strong lambda PL promotor and is under tight control by the cI857 repressor encoded by the expression strain AR58. Induction of transcription from the lambda PL promotor is achieved by shifting the growth temperature from 32 to 42 degrees C. Expression of the gene products was monitored by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blotting. The expressed B875 light-harvesting prepolypeptides were located in the E. coli inner membrane and could not be removed by washing with high salt. The amount of expressed B875 light-harvesting prepolypeptides was estimated to be about 0.1% of the total soluble protein.
