摘要:
The subject invention describes the cloning and overexpression of leader peptidase genes. A method for isolating a leader peptidase gene is disclosed. Overexpression of the signal peptidase in a suitable host species leads to an enhanced rate of protein processing.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of a pharmaceutically active compound in a stereospecific form of the formula ##STR1## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, like an alkali metal salt or an alkaline earth metal salt or a pivaloyl ester, wherein R.sub.1 represents an optionally substituted aryl group such as a phenyl or naphthyl group optionally included in a heterocyclic ring system, which is optionally substituted, or represents a heteroaromatic ring system containing in addition to carbon atoms one or more atoms selected from nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen, this ring system being optionally substituted, which comprises subjecting a compound of the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sub.2 is an ester residue and preferably an alkyl group optionally substituted, to the action of a micro-organism having the ability for stereoselective hydrolysis of compound (II) into compound (I), having at least 80% by weight the S-configuration, and if desired converting compound (I) into the pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof.

摘要:
A new expression system is provided which comprises component(s) of a lipase regulation cascade. the lipase regulation cascade as disclosed herein includes a kinase, a DNA binding regulator, a polymerase, a promoter, an upstream activating sequence, and secretion factors. Plasmids and transformed cells are also provided as well as methods of transforming host cells using the plasmids. Further, there is provided a kinase that can regulate the expression of a protein, a DNA binding regulator that can regulate the expression of a protein, a Pseudomonas alcaligenes polymerase, a Pseudomonas alcaligenes sigma 54 promoter, a Pseudomonas alcaligenes upstream activating sequence, the Pseudomonas alcaligenes secretion factors XcpP, XcpQ, XcpR, XcpS, XcpT, XcpU, XcpV, XcpW, XcpX, XcpY, XcpZ and the xcp regulators OrfV, OrfX.
摘要:
New mutant .beta.-lactam Penicillin G acylases are provided, exhibiting altered substrate specificities. These Penicillin G acylases are obtained by expression of a gene encoding said Penicillin G acylase and having an amino acid sequence which differs at least in one amino acid from the wild-type Penicillin G acylase.
摘要:
Thermostable and acid stable .alpha.-amylases are provided as expression products of genetically engineered .alpha.-amylase genes isolated from microorganisms, preferably belonging to the class of Bacilli. Both chemical and enzymatic mutagenesis methods are e.g. the bisulphite method and enzymatic misincorporation on gapped heteroduplex DNA. The mutant .alpha.-amylases have superior properties, e.g. improved thermostability over a broad pH range, for industrial application in starch processing and textile desizing.
