Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel recombinant nucleic acids for introducing yeast chromosomal elements into the genomes of bacteria. The invention provides methods to convert the modified bacterial genomes into artificial yeast chromosomes by fusing the bacteria with yeast that linearize the modified bacterial genomes, to produce artificial chromosomes.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for simplified recombinant production of fibrillar collagens. DNAs encoding fibrillar collagen monomers lacking the N propeptide, the C propeptide, or both propeptides are introduced into recombinant host cells and expressed. Trimeric collagen is recovered from the recombinant host cells.
