Publication number: 20110165656Abstract: The present invention relates to functional cDNA and genomic sequences encoding PrtT proteins, which have transcriptional activity on a protease promoter, to PrtT proteins and to their use. The invention further relates to two distinct types of filamentous fungal cells. Filamentous fungal cells are transformed to over-express these PrtT proteins: this type of filamentous fungus will be highly suited as protease producer. Alternatively, the endogenous prtT genes of filamentous fungal cells are inactivated: this type of filamentous fungus is highly suited for the production of any polypeptide native or not which is highly sensitive for protease degradation. The PrtT proteins of the invention provide means for identification of functional homologues in other species.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2010Publication date: July 7, 2011Applicant: DSM IP Assets B.V.Inventors: Noël Nicolaas Maria Elisabeth van Peij, Lucie Parenicova

Publication number: 20090286280Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of optimization of a protein coding sequences for expression in a given host cell. The methods apply genetic algorithms to optimise single codon fitness and/or codon pair fitness sequences coding for a predetermined amino acid sequence. In the algorithm generation of new sequence variants and subsequent selection of fitter variants is reiterated until the variant coding sequences reach a minimum value for single codon fitness and/or codon pair fitness. The invention also relates to a computer comprising a processor and memory, the processor being arranged to read from and write into the memory, the memory comprising data and instructions arranged to provide the processor with the capacity to perform the genetic algorithms for optimisation of single codon fitness and/or codon pair fitness.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2007Publication date: November 19, 2009Applicant: DSM IP Assets B.V.Inventors: Johannes Andries Roubos, Noël Nicolaas Maria Elisabeth Van Peij

Publication number: 20090176219Abstract: We have discovered DNA binding sites which are specifically recognized by PrtT, a transcriptional activator for protease genes. The DNA binding site can be defined structurally by a consensus nucleotide sequence and functionally by PrtT's ability to regulate transcriptional activation through that sequence. Both PrtT and its cognate DNA binding site (i.e., the nucleotide sequence in each promoter that is recognized by PrtT) can be used in a gene expression system. Possession of only a PrtT transcriptional activator is insufficient, its cognate DNA binding site is necessary for recognition by PrtT (i.e., binding to the site and activating transcription under appropriate conditions). A functional site, such as one obtained from a wild-type fungal gene, will confer PrtT-dependent transcriptional activation on 3?-downstream sequences. A mutation of a wild-type promoter that results in a non-functional site will abolish PrtT-dependent transcriptional activation of 3?-downstream sequences.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2006Publication date: July 9, 2009Inventors: Lucie Parenicova, Noël Nicolaas Maria Elisabeth Van Peij
