The Escherichia coli d-xylose isomerase (d-xylose ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.5) gene, xylA, has been cloned on various E. coli plasmids. However, it has been found that high levels of overproduction of the d-xylose isomerase, the protein product of the xylA gene, cannot be accomplished by cloning the intact gene on high copy-number plasmids alone. This is believed to be due to the fact that the expression of the gene through its natural promoter is highly regulated in E. coli. In order to overcome this, the xylA structural gene has been fused with other strong promoters such as tac and lac, resulting in the construction of a number of fused genes. Analysis of the E. coli transformants containing the fused genes, cloned on high copy-number plasmids, indicated that a 20-fold overproduction of the enzyme can now be obtained. It is expected that overproduction of the enzyme in E. coli can still be substantially improved through additional manipulation with recombinant DNA techniques.
