摘要:
The present invention is related to novel protein involved in transfer of electrons, in particular in an enzymatic conversion of carotenoids into particular retro-carotenoids, more particularly in a conversion of beta-carotene into rhodoxanthin via the catalytic action of rhodoxanthin-producing hydroxylases (hereinafter also referred to as BHYRs). The invention also features polynucleotides and the corresponding polypeptides comprising the full-length sequences of the novel gene/polypeptide and fragments thereof, in particular functional equivalents of said gene/polypeptide. The invention further relates to genetically engineered carotene producing fungal host cells and their use for biotechnological production of rhodoxanthin.

The invention provides methods and compositions for engineering cells to generate large amounts of hydrogen. Genes that are involved in hydrogen production pathways and genes that are upregulated when cells are exposed to conditions conducive to the generation of hydrogen are mutagenized according to disclosed protocols. Microbes containing nucleic acid constructs are screened or selected for the ability to generate an increased amount of hydrogen. Methods of producing hydrogen are also disclosed.

Engineered binding proteins are provided. In some cases, the parent protein corresponding to the engineered protein has a three-layer swiveling beta/beta/alpha domain. In other cases, the parent protein corresponding to the engineered protein has a rubredoxin like fold. At least one portion of the primary sequence of the engineered protein is determined by an engineering scheme. In some case, the engineered protein is characterized by an ability to bind to a compound that the parent protein does not bind. In some cases, the parent protein is derived from a domain of a chaperonin or a rubredoxin. One form of engineering scheme used is a randomization scheme. A method for making libraries of engineered proteins, all based on a single parent protein is provided. Methods to identify proteins that bind to compounds of interest in libraries of engineered libraries is provided. An array of engineered proteins immobilized on a support is provided. Each engineered protein in the array is a chaperonin domain or a rubredoxin that has been subjected to an engineering scheme.
摘要:
Recombinant cells which express a fluorescent holo-phycobiliprotein fusion protein and methods of use are described. The cells comprises a bilin, a recombinant bilin reductase, an apo-phycobiliprotein fusion protein precursor of the fusion protein comprising a corresponding apo-phycobiliprotein domain, and a recombinant phycobiliprotein domain-bilin lyase, which components react to form the holo-phycobiliprotein fusion protein. Also described are holo-phycobiliprotein based transcription reporter cells and assays, which cells conditionally express a heterologous-to-the-cell, fluorescent, first holo-phycobiliprotein domain.
