Assignee:

Genenco International, Inc. - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

C12N 952

US Classification:

435220, 435 691, 435221, 435222, 43525231, 4353201, 435471, 536 232, 510300

Abstract:

Novel carbonyl hydrolase mutants derived from the amino acid sequence of naturally-occurring or recombinant non-human carbonyl hydrolases and DNA sequences encoding the same. The mutant carbonyl hydrolases, in general, are obtained by in vitro modification of a precursor DNA sequence encoding the naturally-occurring or recombinant carbonyl hydrolase to encode the substitution, insertion or deletion of one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence of a precursor carbonyl hydrolase. Such mutants have one or more properties which are different than the same property of the precursor hydrolase.

Appl. No.:

09/912733

Inventors:

Michael Ward - San Francisco CA
Scott D. Power - San Bruno CA

Assignee:

Genencor International, Inc. - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

C07K 100

US Classification:

530350, 435 697

Abstract:

The invention includes novel fusion nucleic acids encoding fusion polypeptides which when expressed in a filamentous fungus result in the expression of fusion polypeptides. The fusion nucleic acids comprise four nucleic acids which encode a fusion polypeptide comprising first, second, third and fourth amino acid sequences. The first nucleic acid encodes a signal polypeptide functional as a secretory sequence in a first filamentous fungus. The second nucleic acid encodes a secreted polypeptide or functional portion thereof which is normally secreted from the same filamentous fungus or a second filamentous fungus. The third nucleic acid encodes a cleavable linker while the fourth nucleic acid comprises at least two nucleic acids encoding desired polypeptides.
