Overexpression of the malarial enzyme, orotidine-5′monophosphate decarboxylase (ODCase, EC 4.1.1.23) was performed. The malarial ODCase expression vector (pET-ODC) was used to transformE. coli. The slower growth ofE. colicontaining pET-ODC compared with cells containing other malarial expression plasmids, suggested that the malarial ODCase was toxic toE. coliand produced at low levels prior to induction with isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside. It is concluded that the new hybrid plasmid, pMICO, facilitates the overexpression of malarial ODCase and is likely to be useful for the over-expression of other genes which utilize rareE. colicodons and whose protein products are toxic toE. coli.
