  • Tool for the transfer and production of proteins using the pseudomonas type III secretion system
    Patent number: 7939319
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vector for expression of a chimeric protein which is the result of the fusion between the N-terminal end of ExoS of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and an amino acid sequence of interest, the N-terminal end of ExoS corresponding to the N-terminal end of the chimeric protein. The vector contains the following from 5? to 3?: a promoter, a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding at least the 48 (SEQ ID 4) and at the most the 96 (SEQ ID 6) amino acids of the N-terminal end of ExoS; or any sequence of the same size that is at least 70% identical thereto and that has a secretion activity at the same level as that of ExoS, a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of interest.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 10, 2011
    Assignee: Universite Joseph Fourier
    Inventors: Benoit Polack, Bertrand Toussaint, Lauriane Quenee
