TL;DR: Only precursors in which the HV2 mature sequence directly followed the cleavage site for yscF (a protease involved in the maturation of yeast α factor) were processed correctly to yield biologically active hirudin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmid–Transformed ura3 fur1 Double-Mutants of S. cerevisiae : An Autoselection System Applicable to the Production of Foreign Proteins
TL;DR: It is shown that the recipient strains are double–mutants whose viability is strictly linked to the presence of a plasmid encoding a functional orotidine–5′–phosphate decarboxylase (OMP decase) and can produce high levels of aplasmid–encoded foreign protein in various complex media, including those used by industry, for many generations without any detectable loss of the plasmd–linked phenotype.

Expression and secretion vectors for hirudine by way of transformed yeasts
TL;DR: In this paper, a functional block of DNA enabling to prepare hirudine from yeast, characterized in that it comprises at least: - the gene of H or one of its variants (gene H); a DNA sequence (Str) comprising the signals providing for the transcription of the gene H by the yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Double mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae harbour stable plasmids: stable expression of a eukaryotic gene and the influence of host physiology during continuous culture
TL;DR: Data show that S. cerevisiae double mutants can be made to harbour stable plasmids which will stably express a eukaryotic gene, but careful attention must be paid to these yeasts' complex physiology to achieve optimal recombinant product formation.

Hirudine variants, their use and preparation
TL;DR: Hirudine variants comprising an amino acid other than the amino acid of the natural form in position 47 or 63 have been found in this paper, where they are classified into three classes:
