58. An isolated nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide that hybridizes under stringent conditions to SEQ ID NO:
- 21 or SEQ ID NO;
22, wherein the polynucleotide comprises at least one selector codon. - View Dependent Claims (59, 73, 74)
- 21 or SEQ ID NO;
-
75. A method of making a hGH polypeptide comprising a non-naturally encoded amino acid, the method comprising, culturing cells comprising a polynucleotide or polynucleotides encoding a hGH polypeptide and comprising a selector codon, an orthogonal RNA synthetase and an orthogonal tRNA under conditions to permit expression of the hGH polypeptide comprising a non-naturally encoded amino acid;
- and purifying the hGH polypeptide.
-
76. A method of increasing serum half-life or circulation time of a hGH polypeptide, the method comprising substituting one or more non-naturally encoded amino acids for any one or more naturally occurring amino acids in the hGH polypeptide.
-
77. A hGH polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide having a sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 21;
or SEQ ID NO;
22, wherein said polynucleotide comprises a selector codon, and wherein said polypeptide comprises at least one non-naturally encoded amino acid. - View Dependent Claims (78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85)
- 21;
- 86. A hGH polypeptide comprising one or more amino acid substitution, addition or deletion that increases the expression of the hGH polypeptide in a recombinant host cell.
- 88. A hGH polypeptide comprising a water soluble polymer linked by a covalent bond to the hGH polypeptide at a single amino acid.
- 94. A hGH polypeptide comprising at least one linker, polymer, or biologically active molecule, wherein said linker, polymer, or biologically active molecule is attached to the polypeptide through a functional group of a non-naturally encoded amino acid ribosomally incorporated into the polypeptide.
- 96. A hGH polypeptide comprising a linker, polymer or biologically active molecule that is attached to one or more non-naturally encoded amino acid wherein said non-naturally encoded amino acid is ribosomally incorporated into the polypeptide at pre-selected sites.
-
100. A method of modulating immunogenicity of a hGH polypeptide, the method comprising substituting one or more non-naturally encoded amino acids for any one or more naturally occurring amino acids in the hGH polypeptide.
