Abstract:
A fusion protein produced by a method comprising:culturing a host cell into which has been introduced a vector comprising the following operably linked elements: (a) a transcriptional promoter; (b) a DNA construct encoding a fusion protein, the DNA construct comprising: a first DNA segment encoding a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of: (i) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 from residue number 1 (Met) to residue number 15 (Ala); (ii) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 from residue number 16 (Arg) to residue number 219 (Gln); and at least one other DNA segment encoding an additional polypeptide, wherein the first and other DNA segments are connected in-frame; and encode the fusion protein; and (c) a transcriptional terminator; and recovering the protein encoded by the DNA segment.
