摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of producing a variant lipid acyltransferase enzyme by selecting a parent enzyme which is a lipid acyltransferase enzyme having the amino acid sequence motif GDSX, modifying one or more amino acids to produce a variant lipid acyltransferase, testing the variant lipid acyltransferase for activity on a galactolipid substrate, a phospholipid substrate and/or a triglyceride substrate, selecting a variant enzyme with an enhanced activity towards galactolipids compared with the parent enzyme, and/or preparing a quantity of the variant enzyme. In some embodiments, the variant lipid acyltransferase enzyme may include the amino acid sequence motif GDSX, wherein X is one or more of the following amino acid residues L, A, V, I, F, Y, X, Q, T N, M or S, and wherein the variant enzyme has one or more amino acid modifications compared with a parent sequence.

The use of a lipid acyltransferase in the manufacture of UHT milk for improving the stability, particularly the long term stability, and/or improving the perceptible sensory difference and/or improving smell and/or taste and/or for reducing the cholesterol content and/or for eliminating or reducing creaming of the UHT milk for reducing the cholesterol content in the UHT milk. A method of producing UHT milk, wherein method comprises admixing a lipid acyltransferase and milk (including a step of processing the milk to make it a UHT milk). Preferably said lipid acyltranferase is a polypeptide having lipid acyltransferase activity which polypeptide is obtained by expression of the nucleotide sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 49 or a nucleotide sequence which as has 70% or more identity therewith; and/or is obtained by expression of a nucleic acid which hybridises under medium stringency conditions to a nucleic probe comprising the nucleotide sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 49; and/or is a polypeptide having lipid acyltranferase activity which polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 68 or an amino acid sequence which as has 70% or more identity therewith.
