The structural gene for diphtheria toxin, tox, has been modified at its Sph I site by the introduction of an oligonucleotide linker encoding a unique Pst I restriction endonuclease site and a synthetic oligonucleotide encoding .alpha.-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (.alpha.-MSH). The resulting fusion gene directs the expression of a diphtheria toxin-related .alpha.-MSH hybrid protein in which the diphtheria toxin receptor-binding domain has been replaced with .alpha.-MSH sequences. The chimeric toxin has been partially purified from periplasmic extracts of recombinant Escherichia coli K-12 and has been found to be selectively toxic for .alpha.-MSH receptor-positive human malignant melanoma NEL-M1 cells in vitro.
