Abstract: Chromosome DNA was isolated from Bacillus subtilis(natto.var).Pre-pro-nk(encoding signal peptide,propeptide and mature peptide),pro-nk(encoding propeptide and mature peptide)and nk(encoding mature peptide)were then amplified from chromosome by PCR.The expression vector pET28a-nk and pHT315-nk was constructed and transformed into Escheri- chia coli and Bacillus subtilis to actively express nattokinase and be purified through ion-exchange chromatography.

Key words: nattokinase gene, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, active expression
