Synthetic spider silk proteins and the expression thereof in transgenic plants

摘要

The invention relates to a DNA sequence coding for a synthetic protein and recombinant spider silk proteins which are coded by the inventive DNA sequence. The invention also relates to methods for producing plants or plant cells containing the recombinant spider silk protein and transgenic plants and cells containing a DNA sequence coding for a synthetic spider protein. The invention further relates to a method for obtaining a vegetable spider silk protein from transgenic plants in addition to vegetable spider silk proteins produced according to said method.
