Abstract: Prepared is an extract composition having an improved protein synthetic activity in a cell-free protein synthesis system using a mammalian cultured cell extract. An eukaryotic translation initiation factor and/or translational regulator are added to a cell-free protein synthesis system comprising an extract prepared from cultured mammalian cells and a template mRNA. These factors are one or more selected from the group consisting of eukaryotic translation initiation factors 4E (eIF4E), 2 (eIF2) and 2B (eIF2B), and eukaryotic translational regulator p97.

Abstract: Provided is a process for producing a protein with post-translational modification in a cell-free protein synthesis system having a higher protein synthetic activity and glycosylation capability. The process of the present invention comprises preparing a cell extract from cultured cells of an immortalized mammalian cell line that has enhanced protein secreting activity, and adding an mRNA encoding a glycoprotein to the cell extract.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel human Prt1 (hPrt1) and eIF4G-like (p97) proteins which are involved in eukaryotic transcription In particular, isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding the human hPrt1 and p97 proteins. hPrt1 and p97 polypeptides are also provided, as are vectors, host cells and recombinant methods for producing the same. The invention further relates to screening methods for identifying agonists and antagonists of hPrt1 and p97 activity. Also provided are therapeutic methods for treating disease states associated with the hPrt1 and p97 proteins.
