摘要:
A system and a method for the production of recombinant N-glycosylated target proteins. The system comprises a prokaryotic organism (e.g. Escherichia coli) into which is introduced a genetic information encoding for a metabolic apparatus capable of carrying out the requested N-glycosylation of the target protein. Said prokaryotic organism also contains the genetic information required for the expression of one or more recombinant target proteins. The metabolic apparatus preferably comprises specific glycosyltransferases for the assembly of the oligosaccharide on a lipid carrier and an OTase that covalently links this oligosaccharide to specific residues of the desired protein.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing pravastatin sodium. More specifically, in the process for preparing pravastatin sodium by adding a precursor of the pravastatin to a microorganism-culturing medium to obtain pravastatin sodium, the precursor of the pravastatin is added to a culture medium that is culturing Streptomyces carbophilus KBT229 (KCCM-10317), which is obtained by UV-mutating a Streptomyces carbophilus FERM BP-1145, and cultured to obtain the pravastatin sodium with high density and high efficiency.

The object of the present invention is to provide novel enone reductases useful for producing ketones. Accordingly, novel enone reductases derived from the genus Kluyveromyces are provided by the present invention. In addition, the present invention also provides genes encoding the enzymes and vectors containing the genes, as well as transformants. Furthermore, the present invention provides enone reductases derived from yeast. Methods for selectively reducing the carbon-carbon double bonds of null,null-unsaturated ketones using these enone reductases are provided. Ketones useful as a raw material for pharmaceuticals can be produced based on an enzymatic reaction.

The present invention relates to a novel enzyme that allows peptide to be produced easily, inexpensively and at high yield without going through a complex synthesis method. More particularly, the present invention provides a novel enzyme that catalyzes a peptide-producing reaction from a carboxy component and an amine component, a microbe that produces the enzyme, and a method for inexpensive production of peptides using this enzyme or microbe. The novel enzyme that efficiently produces peptide was discovered from a newly discovered microbe belonging to the genus Empedobacter, and a method was found that allows peptides to be produced inexpensively and easily.

Thus, a therapeutic agent for myeloma comprising anti-IL-6 receptor antibody for use in combination with a nitrogen mustard anticancer agent; a therapeutic agent for myeloma comprising a nitrogen mustard anticancer agent for use in combination with anti-IL-6 receptor antibody; and a therapeutic agent for myeloma comprising a nitrogen mustard anticancer agent and anti-IL-6 receptor antibody.
摘要:
The present invention provide a microorganism comprising an inactivated chromosomal tdcBC gene and an inactivated chromosomal pckA gene, which has remarkably improved productivity of L-threonine. Also, the present invention provides a method of producing L-threonine using the microorganism. The microorganism is prepared by incorporating by a recombination technique an antibiotic resistance gene into a pckA gene on the chromosome of a bacterial strain containing an L-threonine degradation-associated operon gene, tdcBC, which is inactivated. The microorganism has the effect of preventing degradation and intracellular influx of L-threonine due to the inactivation of the tdcBC operon gene, and includes more activated pathways for L-threonine biosynthesis. Therefore, the microorganism is useful for mass production of L-threonine because of being capable of producing L-threonine in high levels and high yields even in the presence of high concentrations of glucose.
