Replicating and non-replicating vectors for recombinant protein production in plants and method of use thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to plant-based recombinant protein production systems and their methods of production and use. The plant-based recombinant protein production system is a vector comprising a 5′ UTR and a 3′ UTR, wherein the 3′ UTR comprises at least one terminator selected from the group consisting of: EU, IEU, NbACT3, NbACT617, NbACT567, Pin2, BDB501, BDB282, NbHSP, NbHSPb, Rep, RbcS, SIR, SIR 5′/3′, SIR 3′, AtHSP, 35S, RepA, NOS, TMV, TNVD, PEMV, and BYDV. In certain implementations, the vector comprises two terminators in the 3′ UTR, where the two terminators are fused to form a double terminator. For example, the double terminator comprises two members selected from the group consisting of: EU, IEU, NbACT3, NbACT617, NbACT567, Pin2, BDB501, BDB282, NbHSP, NbHSPb, Rep, RbcS, SIR, SIR 5′/3′, SIR 3′, AtHSP, 35S, RepA, NOS, TMV, TNVD, PEMV, and BYDV. In some aspects, the vector further comprises a chromatin scaffold/matrix attachment region (MAR) that is downstream of the terminators.
