  • Patent number: 11390862
    Abstract: Provided herein is a thermolabile proteinase and methods of using the same. In some embodiments, the thermolabile proteinase may comprise an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to any of SEQ ID NOs:1-11 and at least one amino acid substitution in helix 3. The thermolabile proteinase is active at a temperature in the range of 4° C.-40° C. and is inactivated by raising the temperature to above 50° C., where the proteinase is substantially inactive at 65° C.

  • Publication number: 20110097737
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for producing membrane proteins or toxic proteins from recombinant DNA introduced into a prokaryotic host cell by targeting the expressed proteins to the envelope of the host cell. The methods and compositions utilize a protein vehicle fused to a protein of interest. The fusion protein may contain one or more protease cleavage sites to separate the protein of interest from the protein vehicle either in vivo or in vitro. The protein vehicle is characterized by a membrane-tar peptide and a trans-membrane segment separated by a cytoplasmic amino acid sequence that includes a cytoplasmic affinity-binding domain.

  • Patent number: 7052897
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for altering the DNA recognition and cleavage characteristics of an endonuclease without prior knowledge of the endonuclease's three-dimensional structure and/or amino acid residues responsible for activity and/or specificity. Methods include subjecting a mutagenized endonuclease gene library to a genetic selection in prokaryotic cells which tolerate the expression of mutated endonuclease and where the endonuclease is active and determining the altered recognition-site specificity for the endonuclease.
