摘要:
The present invention is directed to modified proteins and methods of their production. The modified proteins comprise a controllable intervening protein sequence (CIVPS) inserted into or adjacent a target protein, the CIVPS being capable of excision from or cleavage of the modified protein under predetermined conditions in cis or in trans, i.e., increase in temperature, exposure to light, unblocking of amino acid residues by dephosphorylation, treatment with chemical reagents or deglycosylation. If desired, the modified protein can be subjected to these conditions. The CIVPS may also be inserted into a region that substantially inactivates target protein activity. The CIVPS may be used in a number of applications including purification of the target protein in a one-step protocol.

摘要:
DNA sequences which are capable of converting L-malate into L-lactate are incorporated into suitable vectors and used to transform both prokaryotic and eukaryotic hosts. The DNA sequences and vectors are particularly useful in conferring the ability to perform malolactic fermentation on wine producing yeasts.Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2514-10C/ySWl and E. coli RRI/ySWl were deposited at the A.T.C.C. on Aug. 16, 1982, and given accession Ser. Nos. 20651 and 39176, respectively.
