Abstract
The present invention provides novel peptides of specified sequence and their use as a signal peptide or a membrane-anchoring peptide. It also relates to chimeric polypeptide comprising one or more such peptides and a polypeptide of interest as well as nucleic acid molecules, vectors, infections vital particles and host cells encoding such peptides and chimeric polypeptides. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising such elements and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. The present invention also provides a method for recumbently producing a polypeptide using such peptides, especially for directing expression of a polypeptide of interest extracellularly or anchored at the surface of the plasma membrane.
