  • Methods for producing a polypeptide using a consensus translational initiator sequence
    Patent number: 6461837
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for producing a polypeptide, comprising: (a) cultivating a fungal host cell in a medium conducive for the production of the polypeptide, wherein the fungal host cell comprises a first nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide operably linked to a second nucleic acid sequence comprising a consensus translational initiator sequence foreign to the nucleic acid sequence; and (b) isolating the polypeptide from the cultivation medium. The present invention also relates to the isolated consensus translational initiator sequences and to constructs, vectors, and fungal host cells comprising the consensus translational initiator sequences operably linked to nucleic acid sequences encoding polypeptides.
