Classification: C07K,C12P

Abstract:
1. A recombinant cell comprising a first isolated nucleic acid selected from the group consisting of: a. a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2; b. a nucleic acid that hybridizes to the nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 1 under stringent conditions of hybridizing at about 68° C. in 5×SSC/5×Denhart's solution/1.0% SDS, and washing in 0.2×SSC/0.1% SDS at room temperature, wherein the nucleic acid encodes a polypeptide capable of enhancing longevity and/or protein production of a cell line in which it is expressed; and c. a nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 1; and/or a second isolated nucleic acid selected from the group consisting of: a. a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 4; b. a nucleic acid that hybridizes to the nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 3 under stringent conditions wherein the nucleic acid encodes a polypeptide capable of enhancing longevity and/or protein production of a cell line in which it is expressed; and c. A nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 3.
