We have constructed a plasmid (pHE2) in which the synthetic human alpha- and beta-globin genes and the methionine aminopeptidase (Met-AP) gene from Escherichia coli are coexpressed under the control of separate tac promoters. The Hbs were expressed in E. coli JM109 and purified by fast protein liquid chromatography, producing two major components, a and b. Electrospray mass spectrometry shows that at least 98% and about 90% of the expressed alpha and beta chains of component a, respectively, have the expected masses. The remaining 10% of the beta chain in component a corresponds in mass to the beta chain plus methionine. In component b, both alpha and beta chains have the correct masses without detectable N-terminal methionine (
