The present invention relates to the field of plant secondary metabolites. More particularly plant cell lines are established from the medicinal plant Veratrum californicum. Said plant cell lines can be used for the production of cyclopamine and related steroid alkaloids and their precursors.
摘要:
Provided is a method for improving secretion efficiency of a recombinant foreign protein in a yeast expression system. The method comprises transforming a yeast host with a recombinant foreign gene construct comprising a galactose-inducible promoter, a secretion signal sequence and a gene encoding the foreign protein to construct a transformed yeast strain; and culturing the transformed yeast strain under the condition that the activity of the galactose-inducible promoter is controlled. Improved secretion efficiency of the foreign protein can be achieved by decreasing over-expression-induced insoluble precipitation of the recombinant foreign protein suffered by a conventional galactose-inducible promoter-based yeast expression system, via appropriate control of a level of galactose functioning as an inducer of the galactose-inducible promoter in cells. Due to improved secretion efficiency of the recombinant foreign protein, present invention makes a contribution to improvement in productivity of recombinant foreign proteins in the yeast expression system and reduction in production costs.
摘要:
Methods and means are provided for the modification of the reactivity of plant cell walls, particularly as they can be found in natural fibers of fiber producing plants by inclusion of positively charged oligosaccharides or polysaccharides into the cell wall. This can be conveniently achieved by expressing a chimeric gene encoding an N-acetylglucosamine transferase, particularly an N-acetylglucosamine transferase, capable of being targeted to the membranes of the Golgi apparatus in cells of a plant.
摘要:
Agaricus bisporus serine protease is selectively expressed in the stipe, with maximum expression observed after 5 days at 18 °C, the promoter thereof being effective to permit selective expression of a heterologous protein in the fruiting body. Transformants can be selected without having to induce fruiting, by forcing expression using humic proteins. Post-transcriptional gene suppression is useful to suppress the serine protease to allow harvesting of heterologous proteins from the fruiting body without degradation by the serine protease.
摘要:
cDNAs encoding myrcene synthase, (-)-limonene synthase and (-)-pinene synthase from Grand fir (Abies grandis) haven been isolated and sequenced, and the corresponding amino acid sequences have been determined. Accordingly, isolated DNA sequences (SEQ ID NO:1; SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ ID NO:5) are provided which code for the expression of myrcene synthase (SEQ ID NO:2), (-)-pinene synthase (SEQ ID NO:4) and (-)-limonene synthase (SEQ ID NO:6) , respectively, from Grand fir (Abies grandis). In other aspects, replicable recombinant cloning vehicles are provided which code for myrcene synthase, (-)-limonene synthase and (-)-pinene synthase, or for a base sequence sufficiently complementary to at least a portion of myrcene synthase, (-)-limonene synthase or (-)-pinene synthase DNA or RNA to enable hybridization therewith. In yet other aspects, modified host cells are provided that have been transformed, transfected, infected and/or injected with a recombinant cloning vehicle and/or DNA sequence encoding myrcene synthase, (-)-limonene synthase or (-)-pinene synthase. Thus, systems and methods are provided for the recombinant expression of the aforementioned recombinant monoterpene synthases that may be used to facilitate their production, isolation and purification in significant amounts. Recombinant myrcene synthase, (-)-limonene synthase or (-)-pinene synthase may be used to obtain expression or enhanced expression of myrcene synthase, (-)-limonene synthase or (-)-pinene synthase in plants in order to enhance the production of monoterpenoids, or may be otherwise employed for the regulation or expression of myrcene synthase, (-)-limonene synthase and (-)-pinene synthase, or the production of their products.
摘要:
Establishment of a system for mass-producing proteins or peptides, particularly a system for mass-producing cellulase in molds such as Trichoderma viride. As the regulatory sequence of cellulase cbh1 genes originating in Trichoderma viride can highly express objective proteins, objective proteins, particularly cellulase, can be amply expressed with this sequence. Thus an endoglucanase originating in Humicola insolens has now been successfully produced in a quantity of 15 g/l.
