| abstract |
An mRNA translational enhancer element (TEE) is provided, eg, SEQ ID NOs: 1-35. Translation enhancer polynucleotides comprising one or more of the specific TEEs exemplified herein or variants, homologues or functional derivatives thereof are also provided. Further provided are expression vectors comprising such TEE or translation enhancer polynucleotides, as well as host cells and expression systems having such vectors. In one aspect, an isolated or synthetic polynucleotide sequence that functions as a translation enhancer and includes at least one mRNA translation enhancer element (TEE) is provided. |
