Plant Secretory Signal Peptides And Nectarins
US Patent:
5939288, Aug 17, 1999
Filed:
Jun 7, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/478259
Inventors:
Robert Thornburg - Ames IA
Assignee:
Iowa State University Research Foundation, Inc. - Ames IA
International Classification:

US Classification:
435 698
Abstract:
Provided herein are signal peptides, and constructs and vectors having signal peptides, as well as methods of using signal peptides to deliver proteins into secretory material. The invention facilitates the purification of recombinant proteins. Also provided are a new class of proteins called nectarins, from which the signal peptides may be derived. Additionally, the nectarins possess oxalate oxidase activity and have utility as agents for treating diseases or conditions relating to abnormal oxalate deposition or metabolism or as diagnostics for measuring oxalate concentrations in specimens.
