摘要:
The present invention provides plants with a modified taste, solids content and/or texture. The invention also provides methods of obtaining such plants via transformation with DNA constructs containing genes encoding enzymes capable of degrading plant polysaccharides and optionally additional genes encoding enzymes which are capable of further modifying the degradation products resulting from the first degradation step.
摘要:
A method of catalyzing in vitro reactions using seeds containing enhanced amounts of enzymes is disclosed. The method involves adding transgenic, non-wild type seeds, preferably in a ground form, to a reaction mixture, especially a bakery process and allowing the enzymes in the seeds to increase the rate of reaction. By directly adding the seeds to the reaction mixture the method provides a solution to the expensive and problematic process of extracting and purifying the enzyme. Methods of treatment are also provided whereby a subject lacking a sufficient supply of an enzyme is administered the enzyme in the form of seeds containing enhanced amounts of the enzyme.
摘要:
Kluyveromyces hosts and DNA expression cassettes for use in Kluyveromyces are provided for transcription of endogenous and/or exogenous DNA, and production of peptides, for enhancing production of an endogenous product, or producing an exogenous product. The Kluyveromyces hosts find particular use for secretion of a desired peptide product, where signal sequences may be native to the peptide or provided from endogenous or exogenous signal sequences, including synthetic sequences, functional in Kluyveromyces. A transformation procedure is provided for efficiently transforming Kluyveromyces.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a transformed Phaffia strain. Also disclosed are specific vectors for transforming Phaffia, preferably such vectors contain expression regulating sequences obtained from Phaffia. The present invention also discloses the use of certain marker genes in Phaffia. The invention further discloses a method for transforming Phaffia.
摘要:
The exo-polygalacturonase gene from Aspergillus is identified, and the enzyme encoded thereby is expressed. Specifically, the exo-polygalacturonase gene from Aspergillus tubingensis is is cloned and expressed, and DNA sequences from other Aspergillus strains that specifically hybridize therewith are identified. Novel expression vectors that comprise an exo-polygalacturonase encoding sequence, and host cells transformed therewith, are also provided. The invention further relates to the production of recombinant exo-polygalacturonase, and to the use of this protein.
摘要:
Novel polypeptides having Factor VIII activity are provided as well as compositions and methods for their preparation. The polypeptides comprise derivatives and fragments of Factor VIII and have sequences substantially similar to portions of naturally occuring Pactor VIII. The polypeptides find use in treatment of Hemophilia A.
