Publication number: 20100035236Abstract: A method for selecting novel proteins such as growth hormone and antibody fragment variants having altered binding properties for their respective receptor molecules is provided. The method comprises fusing a gene encoding a protein of interest to the carboxy terminal domain of the gene III coat protein of the filamentous phage M13. The gene fusion is mutated to form a library of structurally related fusion proteins that are expressed in low quantity on the surface of a phagemid particle. Biological selection and screening are employed to identify novel ligands useful as drug candidates. Disclosed are preferred phagemid expression vectors and selected human growth hormone variants.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2009Publication date: February 11, 2010Applicant: Genentech, Inc.Inventors: Lisa J.

Patent number: 5304472Abstract: Nucleic acid is provided encoding a molecule having certain variations within the phosphate-binding region of native E. coli PstS. Additionally provided are bacterial cells comprising this nucleic acid under control of the native pstS gene promoter, and optionally further comprising nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide of interest under control of the alkaline phosphatase (AP) promoter. Bacterial cells containing both pstS variant nucleic acid and polypeptide nucleic acid are cultured in a medium at a concentration of inorganic phosphate that at all phases of cell growth is above the level at which the cells are starved for phosphate. Alternatively, the cells are cultured under conditions whereby the concentration of inorganic phosphate in the culture medium is controlled during the production period so that the polypeptide is produced under the control of the partially induced AP promoter.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1992Date of Patent: April 19, 1994Assignee: Genentech, Inc.Inventors: Steven Bass, James R.
