Methods of producing peptides/proteins in plants and peptides/proteins produced thereby

摘要

Methods of increasing the yield in plant expression of recombinant proteins comprising: engineering glycosylation sites into cloned genes or cDNAs for proteins using codons that drive post-translational modifications in plants; and engineering the cloned genes or cDNAs to contain a plant secretory signal sequence that targets the gene products (protein) for secretion. The methods result in increased recombinant glycosylated protein yields. Proteins produced according to these methods are disclosed.
