摘要:
57 Novel methods and compositions are provided for enhanced yield of heterologous proteins in fungi. The method and compositions involve employing fusion sequences involving a sequence encoding a heterologous product produced in relatively large amount as a stable polypeptide in the host fused to a second sequence in open reading frame with the prior sequence coding for a different heterologous polypeptide, where the two polypeptides are joined by a selectively cleavable linkage. In particular, a sequence coding for superoxide dismutase is joined to another polypeptide of interest at either terminus of the superoxide dismutase in a yeast expression vector under transcriptional control of an active promoter and the vector introduced into a yeast host and the host grown. High yields of the fusion product are obtained in this manner, where the fusion product can be selectively cleaved so as to produce both the superoxide dismutase and the other polypeptide in high yield. The S. cerevisiae strains 2150-2-3 (pYASl1) and AB110 (pYLUIGF2-14) were deposited at the A.T.C.C. on February 27, 1985 and March 19,1986, respectively; and given accession nos. 20745 and 20796, respectively. CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a Continuation of application Serial No. 717 209, filed March 28, 1985, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
摘要:
Newly discovered and isolated microorganism strains and their natural mutants and genetically engineered derivatives are capable of growth under aerobic conditions in a culture medium containing a C 2 -C 10 alkane or a C 2 -C 10 alkyl radical donating compound as their major carbon and energy source. These microbial cells, which possess a high content of protein, can be utilized as feedstuffs or in oxidizing oxidizable organic substrates containing at least two carbon atoms, for example, converting alkanes and alicyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons to alcohols and/or ketones, alkenes, dienes, and vinyl aromatic compounds to 1,2-epoxides, and secondary alcohols to methyl ketones. Genetically engineered derivatives and enzyme preparations derived from these microbial cells may also be employed in the oxidative conversions.

Method for obtaining purified superoxidic-dismutasis from animal tissues, in particular from erythrocytes or from hepatic tissue, through affinity chromatography or immunoabsorbent with specific purified antibodies for the enzyme.
摘要:
This invention provides novel strains of microorganisms (e.g., Pseudomonas putida Biotype A) which are capable of converting toluene to muconic acid quantitatively by the ortho(β-ketoadipate) pathway. Muconate lactonising enzyme is not induced in the microorganism, thereby permitting the muconic acid to be produced and accumulated in a quantity greater than one gram of muconic acid per litre of growth medium.
摘要:
A novel superoxide dismutase is produced by cultivating a microorganism belonging to the genus Serratia. The superoxide dismutase is useful as an antiinflammatory agent. An immobilized superoxide dismutase has properties of decreased antigenicity and increased antiinflammatory activity.
