In order to increase the expression of XMP aminase [EC 6.3.4.1], which catalizes the conversion of 5'-XMP to the DNA fragment containing gua A gene coding for XMP aminase from pLC 34-10 plasmid was subcloned into pBR 322, and 1.7 kb gua A gene fragment was recloned under the control of trp promoter of pDR 720, E. coli expression vector. XMP aminase activity had increased by about 17 times when compared with that of the strain earring pLC 34-10.
