The term "plant" encompasses plants obtained by conventional plant breeding and optimization methods (e.g., marker-assisted selection) and plants obtained by genetic engineering, including cultivars that may be protected by plant breeders' rights and those that are not protected.
[0081] As used herein, the term "plant cell" refers to a cell of a whole plant, a cell taken from a plant, or a cell derived from a cell taken from a plant. Thus, the term "plant cell" includes cells in seeds, suspension cultures, embryos, meristematic regions, callus tissue, leaves, buds, gametophytes, sporophytes, pollen, and microspores.
[0082] As used herein, the term "plant growth regulator" refers to an agent or combination of agents whose application accelerates or delays the growth / maturity rate of a plant by a direct physiological effect on the plant or otherwise changes the behavior of the plant by a direct physiological effect on the plant. "Plant growth regulator" should not be interpreted as including any agent or combination of agents excluded from the definition of "plant regulator" stated in Section 2(v) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. § 136 (v)). Therefore, "plant growth regulator" does not cover microorganisms applied to plants, plant parts or plant growth media to enhance the availability and / or uptake of nutrients, nutrients necessary for normal plant growth, soil amendments applied to improve soil characteristics that are conducive to plant growth, or vitamin hormone products as defined in 40 C.FR § 152.6 (f).

[0085] As used herein, the term "protein" is not intended to refer to a specific amino acid chain length, and encompasses peptides, oligopeptides and polypeptides. It should be understood that the term "protein" also encompasses two or more polypeptides combined to form an encoded product, as well as hybrid polypeptides and fusion proteins.
[0086] As used herein, the term "purified" refers to polynucleotides, proteins, or cells that are substantially free of other components as determined by analytical techniques well known in the art (e.g., purified polynucleotides or proteins can form discrete bands in an electrophoretic gel, a chromatography eluate, and / or a medium subjected to density gradient centrifugation). A purified polynucleotide or protein is at least about 50% pure, typically at least about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, about 99.5%, about 99.6%, about 99.7%, about 99.8% or more pure (e.g., percentage by weight or by mole). In a related sense, a composition is enriched for a molecule when the concentration of the molecule is substantially increased after application of a purification or enrichment technique. The term "enriched" refers to compounds, polynucleotides, proteins, cells, nucleic acids, amino acids or other designated materials or components that are present in a composition at a relative or absolute concentration greater than that of the starting composition.
[0087] In one aspect, the term "purified" as used herein refers to a protein or cell that is substantially free of components (especially insoluble components) from the producing organism. In other aspects, the term "purified" refers to a protein that is substantially free of insoluble components (especially insoluble components) from the natural organism from which it is obtained. In one aspect, the protein is separated from some soluble components of the organism and culture medium from which it is recovered. The protein can be purified (i.e., separated) by one or more of the unit operations filtration, precipitation, or chromatography.
[0088] Therefore, protein can be purified so that only a small amount of other proteins, particularly other proteins, are present. As used herein, the term "purified" can refer to the removal of other components present in the cell of the protein source, particularly other proteins and most particularly other enzymes. Protein can be "substantially pure", i.e., free of other components from the organism producing it (e.g., a host organism for recombinantly producing the protein). In one aspect, by the weight of the total protein material present in the preparation, the protein is at least 40% pure. In one aspect, by the weight of the total protein material present in the preparation, the protein is at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% or 90% pure. As used herein, "substantially pure protein" can refer to a protein preparation containing by weight up to 10%, preferably up to 8%, more preferably up to 6%, more preferably up to 5%, more preferably up to 4%, more preferably up to 3%, even more preferably up to 2%, most preferably up to 1% and even most preferably up to 0.5% of the protein and other protein materials associated with it naturally or recombinantly.
[0089] Thus, it is preferred that a substantially pure protein is at least 92% pure, preferably at least 94% pure, more preferably at least 95% pure, more preferably at least 96% pure, more preferably at least 97% pure, more preferably at least 98% pure, even more preferably at least 99% pure, most preferably at least 99.5% pure, based on the weight of the total protein material present in the preparation. The proteins of the present disclosure are preferably in substantially pure form (i.e., the preparation is substantially free of other protein material). This can be achieved, for example, by preparing the protein by well-known recombinant methods or by classical purification methods.
[0090] As used herein, the term "recombinant" is used in its conventional sense to refer to the manipulation (e.g., cutting and rejoining) of a nucleic acid sequence to form a sequence group that is different from that found in nature. The term recombinant refers to a cell, nucleic acid, protein, or vector that has been modified from its native state. Thus, for example, a recombinant cell expresses genes not found in the native (non-recombinant) form of the cell, or expresses native genes at different levels or under different conditions than those found in nature. The term "recombinant" is synonymous with "genetically modified" and "transgenic".
[0091] As used herein, the terms "recover" and "recovery" refer to removing a protein from at least one fermentation broth component selected from the list of cells, nucleic acids or other specified materials, such as recovering a protein from a whole fermentation broth or from a cell-free fermentation broth by harvesting protein crystals, by filtration (e.g., depth filtration (by using filter aids or packed filter media, cloth filtration in box filters, drum filtration, drum filtration, rotary vacuum drum filters, candle filters, horizontal leaf filters or the like, sheet or pad filtration using a frame or modular arrangement) or membrane filtration (using plate filtration, modular filtration, candle filtration, microfiltration, cross-flow, dynamic cross-flow or ultrafiltration in dead-end operation)) or by centrifugation (using a decanter centrifuge, a disk stack centrifuge, a hyrdo cyclone or the like) or by precipitating the protein and using related solid-liquid separation methods to harvest the protein from a broth medium by using size fractionation. Recovery encompasses the isolation and / or purification of the protein.
[0092] As used herein, the relatedness between two amino acid sequences or between two nucleotide sequences is described by the parameter "sequence identity".
[0093] For the purpose of this disclosure, the sequence identity between two amino acid sequences is determined as the output of "longest identity" using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, 1970, J.Mol.Biol. [Journal of Molecular Biology] 48: 443-453), which is implemented in the Needle program of the EMBOSS software package (EMBOSS: European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite), Rice et al., 2000, Trends Genet. [Genetics Trend] 16: 276-277) (preferably 6.6.0 version or later). The parameters used are gap opening penalty 10, gap extension penalty 0.5 and EBLOSUM62 (EMBOSS version of BLOSUM62) substitution matrix. In order for the Needle program to report the longest identity, it is necessary to specify the non-simplified (-nobrief) option in the command line. The output of the "longest identity" marked by Needle is calculated as follows:
[0094] (number of identical residues x 100) / (length of alignment - total number of gaps in the alignment)
[0095] For the purpose of this disclosure, the sequence identity between two polynucleotide sequences is determined as the output of "longest identity" using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, 1970, supra), which is implemented in the Needle program of the EMBOSS software package (EMBOSS: European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite, Rice et al., 2000, supra) (preferred 6.6.0 version or later). The parameters used are gap opening penalty 10, gap extension penalty 0.5 and EDNAFULL (EMBOSS version of NCBI NUC4.4) substitution matrix. In order for the Needle program to report the longest identity, it is necessary to specify the non-simplified (nobrief) option in the command line. The output calculation of the "longest identity" of the Needle mark is as follows:
[0096] (Identical deoxyribonucleotides x 100) / (Alignment length - Total number of gaps in the alignment).
[0097] As used herein, the term "signal peptide" refers to an amino acid sequence attached to the N-terminal portion of a protein that promotes secretion of the protein outside the cell. The mature form of the extracellular protein lacks a signal peptide, which is cleaved off during the secretion process.
[0098] As used herein, the terms "stabilizing compound" and "stabilizer" refer to an agent or combination of agents whose administration enhances the stability of an enzyme.
[0099] As used herein, the term "subsequence" refers to a polynucleotide lacking one or more nucleotides at the 5' and / or 3' end of a mature protein coding sequence; wherein the subsequence encodes a fragment having enzymatic activity.
[0100] As used herein, the term "variant" refers to a protein comprising an artificial mutation (i.e., substitution, insertion (including extension) and / or deletion (e.g., truncation)) at one or more positions. Substitution means replacing the amino acid occupying a certain position with a different amino acid; deletion means removing the amino acid occupying a certain position; and insertion means adding 1-5 amino acids (e.g., 1-3 amino acids, particularly 1 amino acid) adjacent to and immediately following the amino acid occupying a certain position.
[0101] As used herein, the term "wild-type" with respect to an amino acid sequence or a nucleic acid sequence means that the amino acid sequence or the nucleic acid sequence is a native or naturally occurring sequence.

[0610] As described above, in some embodiments, the protein of the present disclosure comprises any of SEQ ID NOs: 1-91, 45906, 72144, 72147, and 72149, or an N-terminal extension thereof having one or more amino acids (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or more amino acids), a C-terminal extension of one or more amino acids (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or more amino acids), one or more substitutions (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or more amino acids). , 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or more substitutions), one or more insertions (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or more insertions), and / or one or more deletions (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or more deletions) of the mature polypeptide. The amino acid changes may be of a minor nature, i.e., conservative amino acid substitutions or insertions that do not significantly affect the folding and / or activity of the protein; small deletions, typically of 1-30 amino acids; small amino-terminal or carboxyl-terminal extensions, such as an amino-terminal methionine residue; small linker peptides of up to 20-25 residues; or small extensions that facilitate purification by altering the net charge or another function, such as a polyhistidine stretch, an antigenic epitope, or a binding module.
[0611] Essential amino acids in a polypeptide can be identified according to procedures known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis or alanine scanning mutagenesis (Cunningham and Wells, 1989, Science 244: 1081-1085). In the latter technique, single alanine mutations are introduced at every residue in the molecule, and the catalytic activity of the resulting molecule is evaluated to identify amino acid residues that are critical to the activity of the molecule. See also, Hilton et al., 1996, J. Biol. Chem. 271: 4699-4708. The active site of an enzyme or other biological interaction can also be determined by physical analysis of the structure, such as by techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance, crystallography, electron diffraction, or photoaffinity labeling, together with mutations to putative contact site amino acids. See, e.g., de Vos et al., 1992, Science 255:306-312; Smith et al., 1992, J. Mol. Biol. 224:899-904; Wlodaver et al., 1992, FEBS Lett. 309:59-64. The identity of essential amino acids can also be inferred from alignments with related polypeptides, and / or from sequence homology and conserved catalytic mechanisms with related polypeptides or polypeptides / proteins from a common ancestor (typically having similar three-dimensional structures, functions, and significant sequence similarity) within a family of polypeptides or proteins. Additionally or alternatively, protein structure prediction tools can be used for protein structure modeling to identify essential amino acids and / or active sites of a polypeptide. See, e.g., Jumper et al., 2021, “Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold,” Nature 596:583-589.
[0612] Single or multiple amino acid substitutions, deletions and / or insertions can be made and tested using known mutagenesis, recombination and / or shuffling methods followed by relevant screening procedures, such as those disclosed by Reidhaar-Olson and Sauer, 1988, Science 241:53-57; Bowie and Sauer, 1989, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:2152-2156; WO 95 / 17413; or WO 95 / 22625. Other methods that can be used include error-prone PCR, phage display (e.g., Lowman et al., 1991, Biochemistry 30:10832-10837; US 5,223,409; WO 92 / 06204), and region-directed mutagenesis (Derbyshire et al., 1986, Gene 46:145; Ner et al., 1988, DNA 7:127).
[0613] Mutagenesis / shuffling methods can be combined with high-throughput, automated screening methods to detect the activity of cloned, mutagenized polypeptides expressed by host cells (Ness et al., 1999, Nature Biotechnology 17:893-896). Mutagenized DNA molecules encoding active polypeptides can be recovered from host cells and rapidly sequenced using standard methods in the art. These methods allow the importance of individual amino acid residues in a polypeptide to be rapidly determined.

Promoters described in “Gene Expression Systems in Fungi: Advancements and Applications.” Fungal Biology.
[0719] For expression in yeast hosts, examples of useful promoters are provided by Smolke et al., 2018, “Synthetic Biology: Parts, Devices and Applications” (Chapter 6: Constitutive and Regulated Promoters in Yeast: How to Design and Make Use of Promoters in S. cerevisiae) and Schmoll et al., 2018, “Synthetic Biology: Parts, Devices and Applications” (Chapter 6: Constitutive and Regulated Promoters in Yeast: How to Design and Make Use of Promoters in S. cerevisiae). 2016. “Gene Expression Systems in Fungi: Advancements and Applications.” Fungal Biology. Description.
[0720] The control sequence may also be a transcription terminator that is recognized by the host cell to terminate transcription. The terminator is operably linked to the 3' end of the polynucleotide encoding the protein. Any terminator that is functional in the host cell may be used in the present disclosure.
[0721] Preferred terminators for bacterial host cells can be obtained from the genes for Bacillus clausii alkaline protease (aprH), Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase (amyL), and Escherichia coli ribosomal RNA (rrnB).
[0722] Preferred terminators for filamentous fungal host cells can be obtained from Aspergillus or Trichoderma species, such as from the genes for Aspergillus niger glucoamylase, Trichoderma reesei β-glucosidase, Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase I, and Trichoderma reesei endoglucanase I as described in Mukherjee et al., 2013, “Trichoderma: Biology and Applications” and in Schmoll et al. 2016. “Gene Expression Systems in Fungi: Advancements and Applications.” Terminators described in Fungal Biology.
[0723] Preferred terminators for yeast host cells can be obtained from the genes for Saccharomyces cerevisiae enolase, Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytochrome C (CYC1), and Saccharomyces cerevisiae glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Other useful terminators for yeast host cells are described by Romanos et al., 1992, Yeast 8:423-488.
[0724] The control sequence may also be an mRNA stabilizer region downstream of the promoter and upstream of the coding sequence of a gene, which increases the expression of the gene.
[0725] Examples of suitable mRNA stabilizer regions are obtained from the Bacillus thuringiensis cryIIIA gene (WO 94 / 25612) and the Bacillus subtilis SP82 gene (Hue et al., 1995, J. Bacteriol. 177:3465-3471).
[0726] Examples of mRNA stabilizer regions of fungal cells are described in Geisberg et al., 2014, Cell 156(4):812-824 and Morozov et al., 2006, Eukaryotic Cell 5(11):1838-1846.
[0727] The control sequence may also be a leader sequence, i.e., an untranslated region of an mRNA that is important for translation by the host cell. The leader sequence is operably linked to the 5' end of the polynucleotide encoding the protein. Any leader sequence that is functional in the host cell may be used.
[0728] Suitable leader sequences for bacterial host cells are provided by Hambraeus et al., 2000, Microbiology 146(12):3051-3059 and Kaberdin and 2006, FEMS Microbiol. Rev. [FEMS Microbiology Review] 30(6): 967-979 description.
[0729] Preferred leaders for filamentous fungal host cells can be obtained from the genes for Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase and Aspergillus nidulans triose phosphate isomerase.
[0730] Suitable leaders for yeast host cells can be obtained from the genes for Saccharomyces cerevisiae enolase (ENO-1), Saccharomyces cerevisiae 3-phosphoglycerate kinase, Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-factor, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae alcohol dehydrogenase / glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (ADH2 / GAP).
[0731] The control sequence may also be a polyadenylation sequence, a sequence operably linked to the 3' terminus of the polynucleotide which, when transcribed, is recognized by the host cell as a signal to add polyadenosine residues to transcribed mRNA. Any polyadenylation sequence functional in the host cell may be used.
[0732] Preferred polyadenylation sequences for filamentous fungal host cells are obtained from the genes for Aspergillus nidulans anthranilate synthase, Aspergillus niger glucoamylase, Aspergillus niger alpha-glucosidase, Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase, and Fusarium oxysporum trypsin-like protease.
[0733] Useful polyadenylation sequences for yeast host cells are described by Guo and Sherman, 1995, Mol. Cellular Biol. 15: 5983-5990.
[0734] The control sequence can also be a signal peptide coding region that encodes a signal peptide connected to the N-terminus of a protein and directs the protein to enter the secretory pathway of a cell. The 5' end of the coding sequence of a polynucleotide may inherently contain a signal peptide coding sequence, which is naturally connected to the segment of the coding sequence of the encoded protein in the translation reading frame. Alternatively, the 5' end of the coding sequence may contain a signal peptide coding sequence that is heterologous to the coding sequence. In the case where the coding sequence does not naturally contain a signal peptide coding sequence, a heterologous signal peptide coding sequence may be required. Alternatively, a heterologous signal peptide coding sequence may simply replace a natural signal peptide coding sequence to enhance the secretion of a protein. Any signal peptide coding sequence that directs the expressed protein to enter the secretory pathway of a host cell may be used.
[0735] Effective signal peptide coding sequences for bacterial host cells are those obtained from the following genes: Bacillus NCIB 11837 maltogenic amylase, Bacillus licheniformis subtilisin, Bacillus licheniformis β-lactamase, Bacillus stearothermophilus α-amylase, Bacillus stearothermophilus neutral protease (nprT, nprS, nprM) and Bacillus subtilis prsA. Other signal peptides are described by Freudl, 2018, Microbial Cell Factories [Microbial Cell Factory] 17:52.
[0736] An effective signal peptide coding sequence for a filamentous fungal host cell is the signal peptide coding sequence obtained from the genes for Aspergillus niger neutral amylase, Aspergillus niger glucoamylase, Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase, Humicola insolens cellulase, Humicola insolens endoglucanase V, Humicola lanuginosa lipase, and Rhizomucor miehei aspartic proteinase, such as the signal peptide described by Xu et al., 2018, Biotechnology Letters 40:949-955.
[0737] Useful signal peptides for yeast host cells are obtained from the genes for Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-factor and Saccharomyces cerevisiae invertase. Other useful signal peptide coding sequences are described by Romanos et al., 1992, supra.
[0738] The control sequence can also be a propeptide coding sequence encoding a propeptide located at the N-terminal end of a protein. The resulting protein is referred to as a proenzyme or proprotein (or in some cases as a zymogen). Proprotein is usually inactive and can be converted into an active protein by catalytic or autocatalytic cleavage of the propeptide from the proprotein. The propeptide coding sequence can be obtained from the following genes: Bacillus subtilis alkaline protease (aprE), Bacillus subtilis neutral protease (nprT), Myceliophthora thermophila laccase (WO 95 / 33836), Rhizomucor miehei aspartic protease and Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-factor.
[0739] In the case where both the signal peptide and the propeptide sequence are present, the propeptide sequence is located next to the N-terminus of the protein, and the signal peptide sequence is located next to the N-terminus of the propeptide sequence. Additionally or alternatively, when both the signal peptide and the propeptide sequence are present, the protein may comprise only a portion of the signal peptide sequence and / or only a portion of the propeptide sequence. Alternatively, the final or separated protein may comprise a mixture of a mature protein and a partial or full-length protein comprising a propeptide sequence and / or a signal peptide sequence.
[0740] It may also be desirable to add regulatory sequences that regulate the expression of proteins associated with host cell growth. Examples of regulatory sequences are regulatory sequences that cause gene expression to open or close in response to chemical or physical stimuli (including the presence of regulatory compounds). Regulatory sequences in prokaryotic systems include lac, tac, and trp operator systems. In yeast, the ADH2 system or the GAL1 system can be used. In filamentous fungi, Aspergillus niger glucoamylase promoter, Aspergillus oryzae TAKA α-amylase promoter and Aspergillus oryzae glucoamylase promoter, Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase I promoter and Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase II promoter can be used. Other examples of regulatory sequences are regulatory sequences that allow gene amplification. In fungal systems, these regulatory sequences include dihydrofolate reductase genes amplified in the presence of methotrexate and metallothionein genes amplified with heavy metals.
[0741] The control sequence can also be a transcription factor, i.e., a polynucleotide encoding a polynucleotide-specific DNA binding protein, which controls the rate at which genetic information is transcribed from DNA to mRNA by binding to a specific polynucleotide sequence. Transcription factors can act alone and / or together with one or more other proteins or transcription factors in a complex by promoting or blocking the recruitment of RNA polymerase. Transcription factors are characterized by comprising at least one DNA binding domain, which is generally attached to a specific DNA sequence adjacent to a genetic element regulated by a transcription factor. Transcription factors can directly (i.e., by binding to its promoter to activate the transcription of a gene encoding a target protein) or indirectly (i.e., such as by binding to the promoter of other transcription factors (which regulate the transcription of a gene encoding a target protein) to activate the transcription of other transcription factors) to regulate the expression of the target protein. Suitable transcription factors for fungal host cells are described in WO 2017 / 144177. Suitable transcription factors for prokaryotic host cells are described in Seshasayee et al., 2011, Subcellular Biochemistry 52:7-23 and Balleza et al., 2009, FEMS Microbiol. Rev. 33(1):133-151.
[0742] The disclosure also provides a recombinant expression vector comprising the polynucleotides of the disclosure, promoters, and transcription and translation termination signals. Various nucleotides and control sequences can be linked together to produce a recombinant expression vector, which can include one or more convenient restriction sites to allow insertion or replacement of the polynucleotides encoding proteins at such sites. Alternatively, the polynucleotides can be expressed by inserting a polynucleotide or a nucleic acid construct comprising the polynucleotide into a suitable vector for expression. When producing an expression vector, the coding sequence is located in the vector so that the coding sequence is operably connected to the suitable control sequence for expression.
[0743] The recombinant expression vector can be any vector (e.g., plasmid or virus) that can be easily subjected to recombinant DNA procedures and can cause expression of the polynucleotide. The choice of vector will typically depend on the compatibility of the vector with the host cell into which the vector is to be introduced. The vector can be a linear or closed circular plasmid.
[0744] The vector can be an autonomously replicating vector, i.e. a vector existing as an extrachromosomal entity, which replicates independently of chromosomal replication, such as a plasmid, an extrachromosomal element, a minichromosome or an artificial chromosome. The vector can contain any means for ensuring self-replication. Alternatively, the vector can be a vector that is integrated into the genome and replicates with one or more chromosomes into which it has been integrated when it is introduced into the host cell. In addition, a single vector or plasmid or two or more vectors or plasmids can be used, which contain the total DNA to be introduced into the host cell genome together, or a transposon can be used.
[0745] The vector preferably contains one or more selectable markers that permit easy selection of transformed cells, transfected cells, transduced cells, etc. Selectable markers are genes whose products provide biocide or viral resistance, resistance to heavy metals, prototrophy to auxotrophs, and the like.
[0746] The vector preferably contains at least one element that permits integration of the vector into the host cell's genome or autonomous replication of the vector in the cell independent of the genome.
[0747] For integration into the host cell genome, the vector may rely on the polynucleotide sequence encoding the protein or any other element of the vector for integration into the genome by homologous recombination, such as homology directed repair (HDR), or non-homologous recombination, such as non-homologous end joining (NHEJ).
[0748] For autonomous replication, the vector may further comprise an origin of replication, enabling the vector to replicate autonomously in the host cell in question. The origin of replication may be any plasmid replicon that mediates autonomous replication that functions in the cell. The term "origin of replication" or "plasmid replicon" means a polynucleotide that enables a plasmid or vector to replicate in vivo.
[0749] More than one copy of the polynucleotides disclosed herein can be inserted into a host cell to increase the production of the protein. For example, 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or more copies are inserted into a host cell. The increased copy number of the polynucleotides can be obtained by integrating at least one other copy of the sequence into the host cell genome or by including an amplifiable selectable marker gene together with the polynucleotides, wherein cells containing amplified copies of the selectable marker gene and thus other copies of the polynucleotides can be selected by culturing cells in the presence of an appropriate selective agent.
[0750] The disclosure also provides methods for producing a recombinant host cell comprising a polynucleotide of the disclosure operably linked to one or more control sequences that direct the production of a protein of the disclosure.
[0751] The construct or vector comprising the polynucleotide is introduced into the host cell so that the construct or vector is maintained as a chromosomal integrant or as an autonomously replicating extrachromosomal vector, as described earlier. The selection of the host cell will depend to a large extent on the gene encoding the protein and its source. The protein can be native or heterologous to the recombinant host cell. In addition, at least one of the one or more control sequences can be heterologous to the polynucleotide encoding the protein. The recombinant host cell can contain a single copy or at least two copies of the polynucleotide of the present disclosure, such as three, four, five or more copies.
[0752] The host cell can be any cell that can be used to recombinantly produce a protein of the disclosure, including but not limited to prokaryotic cells, fungal cells, and plant cells, as described above.
