摘要:
A method for the production of C-terminal amidated recombinant peptides is provided. The method employs a recombinant protein construct having multiple copies of a target peptide linked by intraconnecting peptides. The intraconnecting peptides permit the multicopy construct to be selectively reacted to produce product peptides having a C-terminal .alpha.-carboxamide. A recombinant gene containing a DNA sequence coding for the recombinant protein construct and an expression cassette, an expression vector and a transformed cell including the recombinant gene are also provided.
摘要:
A process for the recombinant preparation of a calcitonin fragment and the use of the fragment in the preparation of calcitonin and related analogs is provided. The process includes recombinantly forming a fusion protein which includes the calcitonin fragment linked to a carbonic anhydrase. The recombinantly formed fusion protein is subsequently cleaved to produce a polypeptide which includes the calcitonin fragment. A method for producing a calcitonin carba analog which includes condensing a desaminononapeptide with the recombinantly formed calcitonin fragment is also provided.

摘要:
The invention provides a method of producing a polypeptide having a C-terminal &agr;-carboxamide group. It particularly concerns an enzymatic modification of selected substrate polypeptides which result in cleavage of the substrate polypeptide to form a product peptide with a C-terminal arginine residue having an &agr;-carboxamide group (C-terminal “Arg-NH2”). The method includes contacting an aqueous-based solution including (i) ammonia reagent and (ii) the substrate polypeptide with (iii) clostripain.

The invention provides method and kits for detecting a metallic cation in a sample of a body fluid. The preferred method and kits include the use of at least two different types of antibodies having different specificities. In the preferred method, the sample of body fluid can be contacted with an effective amount of a capture antibody specific for a naturally occurring polypeptide that can bind the metallic cation to form a first antigen-antibody complex. An effective amount of an antibody specific for an epitope on a metallic cation-naturally occurring polypeptide complex or an antibody specific for a metallic cation is added to the first antigen-antibody complex to form a second antigen-antibody complex. The amount of the metallic cation in the sample of body fluid is determined by detecting the amount of the second antigen-antibody complex.
