We investigate uniform interpolants in propositional modal logics from the proof-theoretical point of view. Our approach is adopted from Pitts' proof of uniform interpolation in intuitionistic propositional logic. The method is based on a simulation of certain quantifiers ranging over propositional variables and uses a terminating sequent calculus for which structural rules are admissible. We can present such a proof of the uniform interpolation theorem for normal modal logics K, T, GL, S4Grz and K4Grz. It provides an explicit algorithm constructing the interpolants.
