PRODUCTION OF STREPTAVIDIN-LIKE POLYPEPTIDES

摘要

DNA sequences, hybrid DNA sequences, recombinant DNA molecules and processes for producing streptavidin-like polypeptides and for producing fused proteins consisting of a streptavidin-like polypeptide joined end to end with another protein, polypeptide, peptide or amino acid. The DNA sequences, hybrid DNA sequences and recombinant DNA molecules of this invention are characterized in that they include DNA fragments that code for streptavidin-like polypeptides. These DNA sequences, hybrid DNA sequences and recombinant DNA molecules and the hosts transformed with them may be employed in the processes of this invention to produce streptavidin-like polypeptides and fused proteins.
