  • Patent number: 6660492
    Abstract: A chimeric serine protease whose protease domain is composed of two domain halves (half-sides) with a &bgr;-folded sheet structure, wherein the first domain half corresponds to the first domain half of a first serine protease and the second domain half corresponds to the second domain half of a second serine protease, has improved properties and can be readily crystallized.

  • Publication number: 20030207402
    Abstract: A process for the recombinant production of a protease is characterized by a) transforming a host cell with a recombinant nucleic acid which codes for a zymogenic precursor of a protease containing an autocatalytic cleavage site which does not occur naturally, wherein the active form of the said protease recognizes this cleavage site and cleaves the precursor to form the active protease, b) culturing the host cell in such a way that the zymogenic precursor of the protease is formed in the host cell in the form of inclusion bodies, c) isolating the inclusion bodies and renaturation under such conditions that the protease part of the zymogenic precursor is formed in its natural conformation and d) autocatalytic cleavage of the renatured zymogenic precursor to produce the active protease. This process is suitable for providing recombinant proteases in a simple manner and in large amounts.

  • Patent number: 6277618
    Abstract: The invention relates to a non-glycosylated protein with enzymatic and serin protease activity, the zymogenous form thereof comprising the following domains of a protease of the factor IX family: (a) a catalytic domain, N-terminal bonded with (b) a zymogenous activation domain, N terminal bonded with (c) a EGF1 and/or EGF2 domain. Said protein can be used in a same way as the natural serine proteases of the factor IX family.
