Abstract
The present invention relates to a recombinant multigene comprising a plurality of structural genes and a plurality of DNA sequences which encode peptide linkers. In the present invention, one of the structural genes encodes a protease, the DNA sequences encoding the peptide linkers are adjacent to the DNA sequences which encode the structural genes and the peptide linkers contain an amino acid sequence which the protease recognizes as a proteolytic cleavage site. The present invention additionally relates to transgenic plants which contain such a recombinant multigene transgene, host cells transformed with such a recombinant multigene, and transgenic animals which contain such a recombinant multigene transgene. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method of producing a plurality of polypeptides in a host by incorporating and expressing in the host a such recombinant multigene.
