Title: | Production of eukaryotic proteins and nucleic acid molecules in C. elegans |
Abstract: | Plasmid vectors for expression in Caenorhabditis elegans harbouring a heat inducible promoter nucleotide sequence, a synthetic intron nucleotide sequence optionally containing a Shine-Dalgarno sequence for efficient shuttling between C. elegans and E. coli, optionally a nucleotide sequence coding for a nuclear localisation signal or secretion signal, a nucleotide sequence coding for a recognizable tag, optionally a nucleotide sequence coding for a fluorescent protein, a nucleotide sequence coding for a protease cleavage site, a multiple cloning site containing a nucleotide sequence coding for an eukaryotic, such as human, protein or a nucleic acid molecule and a nucleotide sequence coding for termination of translation, are described. Methods of particularly large scale production of eukaryotic, such as human, proteins and nucleic acid molecules in nematodes are also described. |

site.
2. Plasmid vector according to claim 1, wherein the nucleotide sequence order is modified so that the multiple cloning site is followed by the nucleotide sequence coding for a protease cleavage site, the optional nucleotide sequence coding for a fluorescent protein, optionally the nucleotide sequence coding for a nuclear localization signal or a secretion signal and the nucleotide sequence coding for a recognizable tag. 3. Plasmid vector for expression in Caenorhabditis elegans and in Escherichia coli comprising in the 5' to 3' direction of transcription operably linked to each other a heat shock promoter nucleotide sequence, a synthetic intron nucleotide sequence containing a Shine-Dalgarno sequence, optionally a nucleotide sequence coding for a nuclear localization signal or a secretion signal, a nucleotide sequence coding for a recognizable tag, optionally a nucleotide sequence coding for a fluorescent protein, a nucleotide sequence coding for a protease cleavage site, a multiple cloning site containing a nucleic acid molecule or a nucleotide sequence coding for a eukaryotic protein, and a nucleotide sequence coding for termination of translation so as to express a eukaryotic protein or nucleic acid molecule in Caenorhabditis elegans and in Escherichia coli wherein the plasmid, lacking a nucleotide sequence coding for a eukaryotic protein or a nucleic acid molecule, has the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO:2. 4. Plasmid vector for expression in Caenorhabditis elegans and in Escherichia coli comprising in the 5' to 3' direction of transcription operably linked to each other a heat shock promoter nucleotide sequence, a synthetic intron nucleotide sequence containing a Shine-Dalgamo sequence, a multiple cloning site containing a nucleic acid molecule or a nucleotide sequence coding for a eukaryotic protein, a nucleotide sequence coding for a protease cleavage site, optionally a nucleotide sequence coding for a fluorescent protein, optionally a nucleotide sequence coding for a nuclear localization signal or a secretion signal, a nucleotide sequence coding for a recognizable tag and a nucleotide sequence coding for termination of translation so as to express a eukarvotic protein or nucleic acid molecule in Caenorhabditis elegans and in Escherichia coli wherein the plasmid, lacking a nucleotide sequence coding for a eukaryotic protein or a nucleic acid molecule, has the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO:9 or SEQ ID NO:10. 5. Plasmid vector according to claim 1, wherein the plasmid, lacking a nucleotide sequence coding for a eukaryotic protein or a nucleic acid molecule, has the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO: 1. 6. Plasmid vector according to claim 1, wherein the plasmid, lacking a nucleotide sequence coding for a eukaryotic protein or a nucleic acid molecule, has the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO: 2. |
