  • Vector containing multiple nucleotide sequences for the expression of enzymes
    Patent number: 9347107
    Abstract: An expression vector is provided. The vector includes a promoter configured to drive the expression of the transgene in the cell. The vector also includes a tag sequence encoding a tag peptide directing the protein of the expressed transgene to a pre-determined location. The vector further includes a cleavage sequence encoding a peptide that is recognizable by a protease and a marker gene configured to encoding a protein to indicate the expression of the transgene.
    Type: Grant
