| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a synthetic mRNA leader for enhancing the expression of a gene encoding a desired protein, vectors comprising said synthetic mRNA leader and methods of producing a desired gene product using said synthetic mRNA leader and vector, said method comprising expressing said gene using a synthetic mRNA leader which comprises from 5′ to 3′: (i) a first mRNA leader sequence element; (ii) a spacer region; and (iii) a second mRNA leader sequence element; wherein said first mRNA leader sequence element is a modified transcription-stimulating mRNA leader capable of enhancing transcription of a gene relative to an unmodified reference mRNA leader sequence and/or said second mRNA leader element is a modified translation-stimulating mRNA leader capable of enhancing the translation of a gene transcript relative to an unmodified reference mRNA leader sequence. |
