Abstract

L'invention concerne la production de facteurs de croissance épidermique humaine (hEGF), réalisée à la fois dans des plantes entières et dans une culture de cellules végétales, lesdits hEGF ayant une longueur d'au moins 200 acides aminés. Pour un facteur de croissance épidermique, cela comprendrait au moins un tétramère d'unités EGF. L'efficacité ou la production du procédé de traduction a été améliorée conformément à la présente invention par: 1) clonage de l'ADN complémentaire pre-pro-EGF (précurseur EGF) d'environ 4,5 kb à la fois dans des plantes entières et dans des cultures de cellules végétales, afin d'augmenter tous les titrages de l'hEGF actif, 2) par synthèse de l'ADN complémentaire et par transformation des plantes et culture de cellules végétales pour produire un polypeptide oligomérique, qui consiste en des domaines de répétition hEGF, et 3) par augmentation de la taille globale du gène destiné à être exprimé avec un produit de recombinaison de fusion codant l'hEGF lié à une protéine qui est efficacement produite dans des systèmes végétaux. L'ADN complémentaire synthétique comporte des sites de coupure protéolytiques spécifiques d'un végétal entre des séquences répétées d'EGF, pour faciliter une maturation correcte in planta. Au besoin, des sites de coupure protéolytiques appropriés en amont et en aval des hEGF sont ajoutés pour obtenir le produit final. Dans les plantes entières, l'utilisation d'un élément régulateur permet de transformer les caractéristiques de la production d'hEGF en des parties traditionnellement non vendables de plantes cultivées, telles que la partie feuillue des pommes de terre. L'utilisation de cette partie feuillue après la récolte résulte en une surexpression d'hEGF, ce qui produit des parties de plantes non vendables à la fin de la période de récolte, sans pour autant affecter la qualité de ladite récolte.
