摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the recombinant production of a heterologous polypeptide of interest, comprising, (i) cultivation of a bacterial host cell which is transformed with an expression vector which comprises a nucleic acid molecule which codes for a fusion polypeptide, the fusion polypeptide comprising a derivative of an autoprotease N pro of Pestivirus, wherein at least one cysteine residue of the naturally occuring autoprotease N pro of Pestivirus is replaced by another amino acid residue, and a second polypeptide which is connected to the first polypeptide at the C-terminus of the first polypeptide in a manner such, that the second polypeptide is capable of being cleaved from the fusion polypeptide by the autoproteolytic activity of the first polypeptide, said second polypeptide being a heterologous polypeptide, wherein cultivation occurs under conditions which cause expression of the fusion polypeptide and formation of corresponding cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, (ii) isolation of the inclusion bodies from the host cell, (iii) solubilization of the isolated inclusion bodies, (iv) induction of autoproteolytic cleavage of the heterologous polypeptide of interest from the fusion polypeptide, and (v) isolation of the cleaved heterologous polypeptide of interest.

摘要:
Amino acid residue misincorporations are necessarily found in sequence variants at low concentrations in admixture with expressed polypeptides, resulting from one or more base mismatches within codons susceptible to amino acid residue misincorporation during transcription and/or translation. The invention provides a method of optimizing the coding sequences of a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide, wherein at least one codon is susceptible to amino acid residue misincorporation. The method of the invention can be used to reverse-engineer an unknown coding sequence, which encodes the same polypeptide, but differs in said at least one codon from the known coding sequence. The method can further be used to alter the immunogenic potential of an expressed polypeptide. Thus, the invention is useful in engineering optimized polynucleotides encoding polypeptides.
