Title: Enhanced Expression of Target Proteins via a Chimeric Transactivator-Controlled Promoter System

Patent Overview:

United States Patent 10034879, issued on October 17, 2018, corresponds to application number US 13/714,213 'filed on December 10, 2012, and assigned to 'Ipsen, an international biopharmaceutical company specializing in oncology. The patent claims methods and compositions for enhancing the expression of target proteins, particularly in the context of biopharmaceutical applications.

Scope of Claims:

The patent's claims focus on a chimeric transactivator-controlled promoter system for eukaryotic gene expression. These promoters are devised to enable inducible, highly controlled expression of specific genes. By leveraging the specificity and strength of the promoter, targeted protein production can be efficiently modulated, potentially improving the yield of therapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies.

Key Elements of the Patent:

  1. Chimeric Transactivators (CTAs): These are engineered proteins combining two parts: an effector part and a transactivator part. The CTAs are brought to the nucleus, where they interact with the gene promoter in an activated form, permitting transcription of the transgene.
  2. Promoter Systems: The inventive promoters contain a CTAs binding domain in their central portion. They require the expression of the chimeric transactivator protein to initiate gene expression.
  3. Regulation Systems: Depending on the promoter design, gene expression can be directly regulated by an endogenous activator/repressor, an inducer, or via an external factor.

Claims:

  1. Compositions comprising a promoter system comprising a binding domain suitable for interacting with a site of a chimeric transactivator protein.
  2. Methods of producing a target protein comprising regulating the CTAs expression in cells containing the claimed promoter system.
  3. Bioproduction systems comprising a bioproduction cell population containing the claimed promoter system and target protein expression.

Key Takeaways:

The claimed inventions represent a compelling improvement over traditional methods of protein production via genetic engineering. The CTA-controlled promoter system offers highly versatile and finely tunable expression of target proteins, enabling advancements in biopharmaceutical research.
