Prokaryotic recombinant expression vector pBV220CD was constructed. Clone with high enzyme activity were selected by detecting their specific activity of cytosine deaminase. 5FC（5FC, 5fluorocytosine） could induce the lethal toxicity to cells containing active CD gene. DNA sequence analysis indicated that there were 16 altered bases and 5 of them resulted in the alteration of amino acids in predicted peptide by comparing DNA sequence of the clone H30CD11 with high enzyme activity with CD gene reported in Gene Bank.展开更多
