US Patent 11965167 Materials and methods for protein production

This document relates to materials and methods for the production of protein. In one aspect, this document provides a first exogenous nucleic acid construct including a nucleotide sequence encoding an aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS) protein operably linked to a first promoter element, wherein the ALAS includes at least a first heme responsive motif (HRM), and wherein the ALAS includes a mutation in the first HRM, and a second exogenous nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a heme-binding protein, wherein the second exogenous nucleic acid construct including a nucleotide sequence encoding the heme-binding protein is operably linked to the first promoter element or is operably linked to a second promoter element.
