Title:
【発明の名称】プロテアーゼコード配列またはその阻害剤を含むDNA構築物
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002522080
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Disclosed are isolated DNA constructs including (a) a first DNA sequence including either an inducible promoter sequence responsive to the presence or absence of an exogenous inducer or a developmental gene promoter capable of initiating gene expression in a selected tissue or at a selected stage of development of an organism; (b) a second DNA sequence including a DNA sequence coding for a protease enzyme operably linked and under the control of the promoter sequence specified at (a); whereby the presence or absence of the exogenous inducer or the activation of the developmental gene promoter specified at (a) results in expression of the protease enzyme. These constructs are preferably rendered reversible by the presence of further elements. These constructs can be used in plant or mammalian cells for disruption of cell function, controlling senescence and modifying the metabolism of stored proteins.
