The present invention provides a plasmid containing a promoter sequence, a nucleotide sequence encoding an exogenous protein, and a nucleotide sequence encoding an enzyme capable of modifying the exogenous protein. In a specific embodiment of the invention the encoded exogenous protein is human .beta.-casein and the encoded enzyme is a human kinase capable of phosphorylating recombinant .beta.-casein in a bacterial system. Phosphorylated recombinant human .beta.-casein synthesized using the plasmid of the invention is shown to have the same bioactivity as native human .beta.-casein.
摘要:
Genetic evidence that an imbalance in the activity of serine proteases can cause severe skin disease has recently been presented. The serine protease SCCE is preferentially expressed in cornifying epithelia. Increased expression of SCCE in psoriasis has previously been reported. Increased SCCE expression also in chronic lesions of atopic dermatitis is described herein. Transgenic mice expressing human SCCE in suprabasal epidermal keratinocytes were found to develop pathological skin changes with increased epidermal thickness, hyperkeratosis, dermal inflammation, and severe pruritus. The results strengthen the idea that SCCE may be involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory skin diseases, and may offer a new therapeutic target.

A packaging unit (1) for continuously producing aseptic sealed packages (2), containing a pourable food product, from a tube (14) of packaging material filled with the food product; the unit (1) has a first and second chain conveyor (10, 11) respectively having a number of jaws (12) and a number of counter-jaws (13), which interact with and grip the tube (14) to heat-seal the tube at successive cross sections by means of induction heating elements (29) on the jaws (12); and the jaws (12) and counter-jaws (13) are guided along respective work paths by pairs of cams (50, 51) having different profiles for controlling interaction of the jaws (12) and counter-jaws (13) with the tube (14) of packaging material.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:2 or an analogue or variant thereof having SCCE activity as defined in the present application, such as a polypeptide having a sub-sequence of the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:2. Furthermore, the present invention relates to nucleotide sequences encoding polypeptides having SCCE activity as well as to expression systems, expression vectors, plasmids and non-human organisms comprising said nucleotide sequences. Important aspects of the present invention relate to pharmaceutical, cosmetic and skin care compositions comprising a polypeptide having SCCE activity, and the use of a polypeptide having SCCE activity for the treatment or prophylaxis of various diseases such as acne, xeroderma or other hyperkeratotic conditions such as callosities and keratosis pilaris as well as the various ichthyoses, psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases such as eczemas. Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of a compound which has an inhibitory effect on the enzymatic activity of native SCCE for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for treatment or prophylaxis of autoimmune pemphigus diseases or acantholytic diseases such as familiar pemphigus and Darier's disease.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an expression system comprising a DNA sequence encoding a polypeptide which ha a biological activity of human &kgr;-casein, the system comprising a 5′-flanking sequence capable of mediating expression of said DNA sequence. In preferred embodiments the 5′-flanking sequence is from a milk protein gene of a mammal such as a casein gene or whey acidic protein (WAP) gene and the DNA sequence contains at least one intron sequence. The invention further relates to DNA sequences, replicable expression vectors and cells harboring said vectors, recombinant polypeptide e.g. in glycosylated form, and milk, infant formula or nutrient supplement comprising recombinant polypeptide. The invention also relates to a method for producing a transgenic non-human mammal comprising injecting an expression system as defined above and optionally a further DNA encoding &bgr;-casein or an analog, variant or subsequence thereof into a fertilized egg or a cell of an embryo of a mammal so as to incorporate the expression system into the germline of the mammal and developing the resulting injected fertilized egg or embryo into an adult female mammal. In one embodiment, the endogenous polypeptide expressing capability of the mammal is destroyed and/or replaced with the expression system defined above. The invention further relates to a transgenic non-human mammal such as a mouse, rat, rabbit, goat, sheep, pig, lama, camel or bovine species whose germ cells a somatic cells contain a DNA sequence as defined above as a result of chromosomal incorporation into the non-human mammalian genome, or into the genome of an ancestor of said non-human mammal.
