A secretion vector for foreign protein production, in particular hirudin HV1, hirudin HV3 and hirudin analog HV1C3, is provided comprising a replication origin (ori) of a pUC plasmid, a tac or a trp promoter, a DNA sequence encoding signal peptide, and a DNA sequence encoding a foreign protein, all linked in an operable manner. Also provided are a method of producing said hirudins and hirudin analog employing the secretion vectors, and transformed microorganisms such as E. coli . |
