【発明の名称】高力クモシルク蛋白質のクローニング方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH11511325
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
This invention relates to methods of producing DNA fragments encoding silk proteins from silk-producing spiders. The present invention also relates to the DNA sequences encoding the spider silk proteins. This invention still further relates to methods of producing spider silk proteins using the above-described DNA sequences. The methods of cloning and producing proteins of the present invention are applicable to all silk-producing spiders. Clones developed by these methods produce commercially useful quantities of high molecular weight silk proteins. Because the silk made from such proteins have superior strength properties, the cloned silk proteins of the present invention are of considerable industrial importance.
