  • Transmembrane integrator sequences
    Patent number: 4983521
    Abstract: Novel DNA constructions are provided, as well as their expression products, involving the use of transmembrane integrator sequences joined from one to two open reading frames and optionally a signal sequence, particularly at the N-terminus. The DNA constructs when used with membranal translation systems provide for translocation of the peptides into the membrane. Alternatively, a signal sequence may be introduced internal to an open reading frame, where the resulting translation product may be processed by a membrane to provide two peptides.
