B.Subtilis expression plasmids generally require a stringent Shine-Dalgo Sequence(SDS). Site-directed-mutagenesis was explored to change the Shine-Dalgo Sequence from AAAAATGGGG (mutant type) to AAAAAGGGGG (wild type) in recombinant plasmid PSM604. The single base substitution made the plasmid with wild SDS unstable in structure and segregation. The interaction of SDS with subtilisin leader sequence of PSM604 might be responsible for the instability of plasmid.
