POLYPEPTIDES MODIFIED BY PROTEIN TRANS-SPLICING TECHNOLOGY

The present invention relates to a method of preparing modified polypeptides, by linking a target polypeptide to a carrier molecule that is designed to bear one or more water-soluble polymer molecules, via protein trans-splicing. The polymer molecules can be attached to the carrier molecule either b...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method of preparing modified polypeptides, by linking a target polypeptide to a carrier molecule that is designed to bear one or more water-soluble polymer molecules, via protein trans-splicing. The polymer molecules can be attached to the carrier molecule either before or after ligation to the target polypeptide. Novel protein trans-splicing elements (known as "split inteins") and trans-splicing partners are also provided.
