Abstract
Abstract DNA sequences encoding proteins processable by secretion leaders in recombinant hosts are described. The DNA sequences encode the NH 2 -terminal region of proteins that are cleaved from a secretion leader and may be secreted through the cell membrane and, if present, cell wall in some cases. Proteins encoded by the DNA sequence have an NH 2 -terminal amino acid sequence conforming to a consensus amino acid sequence that is processable by the particular secretion leader. DNA sequences encoding a consensus amino acid sequence processable by the diphterhia toxin secretion leader are disclosed. A novel Pseudomonas exotoxin and CSF-1 having NH 2 -terminal sequences conforming to a consensus sequence are exemplified.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
DNA comprising a DNA sequence encoding a mature protein heterologous to a DT leader sequence with an NH 2 terminal consensus sequence comprising about 7 amino acids having substantial homology to the first 7 amino terminal amino acids of mature DT wherein said mature protein is Pseudomonas exotoxin A having a glycine NH 2 -terminal in addition to the coding sequence of Pseudomonas exotoxin A.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
65 words
DNA comprising a DNA sequence encoding a mature protein heterologous to a DT leader sequence with an NH 2 terminal consensus sequence comprising about 7 amino acids having substantial homology to the first 7 amino terminal amino acids of mature DT wherein said mature protein is Pseudomonas exotoxin A having a glycine NH 2 -terminal in addition to the coding sequence of Pseudomonas exotoxin A.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
