摘要:
The present invention relates to the modification of immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) domains, IgSF fragments and fusion proteins thereof, especially to the modification of antibody derivatives, so as to improve their solubility, and hence the yield, and ease of handling. The inventors have found that this can be achieved by making the region which comprises the interface with domains adjoined to said IgSF domain in a larger fragment or a full IgSF protein, and which becomes exposed in the IgSF domain, more hydrophilic by modification. The present invention describes DNA sequences encoding modified IgSF domains or fragments and fusion proteins thereof, vectors and hosts containing these DNA sequences, IgSF domains or fragments or fusion proteins obtainable by expressing said DNA sequences in suitable expression systems, and a method for modifying IgSF domains, so as to improve their solubility, expressibility and ease of handling.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for identifying nucleic acid molecules encoding (poly)peptides that interact with target molecules. The method of the present invention is particularly characterized by an in vitro translation step under conditions that allow formation of polysomes in the presence of antisense oligonucleotides complementary to the tag-coding sequence of ssrA-RNA. The present invention further relates to kits that are useful for carrying out the method of the invention.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for obtaining nucleic acid sequence encoding (poly)peptides which increase the expression yields of periplasmic proteins in functional form upon co-expression of said (poly)peptides and said periplasmic proteins. The invention also provides a method for the identification of said (poly)peptides. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for increasing the expression yields of periplasmic proteins in functional form by co-expressing (poly)peptides, for example Skp, FkpA, or a homolog of Skp or FkpA, in bacteria.
