Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a novel enhancer of protein production in host cells. It discloses a vector for expressing recombinant proteins in these cells, comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a) a secretion peptidic signal, b) a 6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase enzyme (MGMT, EC 2.1.1.63), a mutant or a catalytic domain thereof, and c) a recombinant protein. Said MGMT enzyme is preferably the so-called SNAP protein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A vector for expressing recombinant proteins in isolated host cells, comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding in a single open reading frame, from 5′ to 3′: a) a peptidic secretion signal which is functional in said isolated host cells, b) a 6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase enzyme (MGMT) or mutant thereof, wherein said MGMT enzyme or MGMT mutant is the protein of SEQ ID NO:2, or a homologous sequence thereof that is at least 80% identical to SE…
