  • Publication number: 20180105564
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for using endogenous transcriptional control systems to regulate the expression of heterologous protein(s). In particular, targeted genome editing is used to integrate a sequence encoding the heterologous protein(s) in-frame with an endogenous coding sequence such that the expression of the heterologous and endogenous sequences is regulated by the endogenous control system.

  • Publication number: 20180105570
    Abstract: The method for preparation of a recombinant protein from a precursor, preferably mammalian insulins, including human insulins and their analogues, characterised in that a protease is used which hydrolyses one or more peptide bonds in this protein, wherein the protease disrupts the peptide bond from the C-end side of a basic amino acid, when the amino acid is the second one after other basic or neutral amino acid, and such an order enables specific recognition of both amino acids by the protease. The invention is applicable in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry.
