Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a new application of Ξ²-lactamase, in particular to the new application of Ξ²-lactamase as a leading protein to promote the folding of functional protein, and the fusion protein prepared from the leading protein. Background of the invention
[0002] The leader sequence of many proteins is essential for their correct folding and maturation. This leader sequence-dependent protein folding phenomenon was first discovered in 1987 by Ikemura et al. when studying subtilisin. Subtilisin is a kind of alkaline serine protease from Bacillus subtilis, the N-terminus of its zymogen is a leader sequence consisting of 77 amino acid residues. It is well documented that protein folding is regulated by a leader sequence in subtilisins. The "subtilisins" family includes enzymes of prokaryotic, eukaryotic and arcuate origin. The leader sequence is important for the production of active subtilisins both in vivo and in vitro, and as a leader...
