  • Patent number: 9422356
    Abstract: The present invention relates to expression vectors and methods for enhancing soluble expression and secretion of an insoluble heterologous protein, particularly a bulky folded active heterologous protein which has one or more transmembrane-like domains or intramolecular disulfide bonds by linking a leader peptide with acidic or basic pI and high hydrophilicity thereto; by substituting one or more amino acids within N-terminal of the heterologous protein with ones having acidic or neutral pI and high hydrophilicity; or reducing elevating ?GRNA value of a polynucleotide encoding the leader peptide having basic pI value and high hydrophilicity. The expression vector and the method may be used to produce of heterologous protein and to transduce of therapeutic proteins in a patient by preventing formation of insoluble inclusion body and by enhancing secretional efficiency of the heterologous protein into the periplasm or outside cell.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 19, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 23, 2016
    Assignee: Republic of Korea (Republic of National Fisheries Research and Development Institute)
    Inventors: Sang Jun Lee, Young Ok Kim, Bo Hye Nam, Hee Jeong Kong, Kyung Kil Kim
  • Patent number: 9352005
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an isolated Bacillus sp. strain having probiotic activity. More particularly, the present invention relates to an isolated Bacillus sp. 2-4 (KCCM11107P) strain having probiotic activity. Since the strain of the present invention functions as probiotics by having an antibacterial activity against various fish pathogenic bacteria, as well as secreting helpful enzymes such as protease, amylase, cellulose, and lipase to help the digestion and absorption of the feed, the strain of the present invention can be helpfully used as a feed additive for fish and crustaceans.
