5'-Atp → HCID 178518213, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Escherichia coli cells containing the recombinant DNA collected in Example 2 (3) were suspended (cell concentration was 100 g wet cell weight/ml) in 100 mM Tris-hydrochloride buffer (pH 8.0) containing 10 mM ATP, 10 mM inosine and 5 mM magnesium sulfate. Xylene was added to the suspension in a concentration of 10 ml/l. After thoroughly stirring, the mixture was allowed to stand at 30° C. for an hour. The reaction solution was analyzed by HPLC and an amount of 51 -IMP in the reaction solution was quantitatively determined. Almost all transformants did not produce 5'-IMP but 5'-IMP-producing bacteria were obtained in a proportion of 1 out of 50,000 samples, The thus obtained 5'-IMP-producing bacteria are transformants carrying a recombinant DNA containing inosine guanosine-kinase gene.
