Abstract

This invention relates to a novel chemically synthesized gene including a base sequence coding for the primary amino acid sequence of natutal-type streptokinase, a corresponding plasmid recombinant, corresponding transformant and process for preparing streptokinase by the incubation of the transformant, the invention further relating to novel streptokinase derivative proteins having streptokinase activity and a modified primary amino acid sequence corresponding to the primary amino acid sequence of natural-type streptokinase which is deficient in the amino acid residues at the 373-position to the C-terminus, and wherein at least one of the amino acid residues may be deficient, replaced or inserted; the chemically synthesized gene including a base sequence coding for the derivative protein, plasmid containing the gene, transformant transformed by the plasmid, and process for preparing the streptokinase derivative protein by the incubation of the transformant.
