Method for preparing triacylglycerol high-productivity algae

The purpose of the present invention is to effectively accumulate triacylglycerol in algae cells, the present invention providing a method for introducing a triacylglycerol synthetase gene, a phosphorus starvation-inducible promoter, and a 3 untranslated region into algae.

Yeast cells and methods for producing fatty alcohols

The present invention provides for a genetically modified yeast cell comprising at least six or more of the following modifications: increased expression of Mus musculus fatty acid reductase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, fatty acid synthase 1, fatty acid synthase 2, a mutant of the bottleneck enzyme encoded by ACC1 insensitive to post-transcriptional and post-translational repression, and/or a desaturase encoded by OLE1, and reduced expression of DGA1, HFD1, ADH6, and/or GDH1. The present invention provides a method for constructing the genetically modified yeast cell, and a method for producing a fatty alcohol from the genetically modified yeast cell.

20170198003 · 2017-07-13 ·

Provided herein include methods and compositions for synthesis of Lipid IV.sub.A and derivatives thereof, using a defined set of pathway enzyme, which may be isolated and used to reconstitute all or part of the pathway in a cell-free reaction.

EXPRESSION OF TYPE I FATTY ACID SYNTHASE GENES IN EUKARYOTIC ALGAE

The present invention provides recombinant algae expressing exogenous Type I fatty acid synthase (FAS) genes and demonstrating higher rates of fatty acid synthesis with respect to control microorgansims. The recombinant algae are able to produce greater amounts of FAME lipids under nitrogen replete conditions.

METHOD FOR PREPARING TRIACYLGLYCEROL HIGH-PRODUCTIVITY ALGAE

The purpose of the present invention is to effectively accumulate triacylglycerol in algae cells, the present invention providing a method for introducing a triacylglycerol synthetase gene, a phosphorus starvation-inducible promoter, and a 3 untranslated region into algae.

MODIFIED MAMMALIAN CELLS

The present disclosure relates to methods, cells, and compositions for producing a product of interest, e.g., a recombinant protein. In particular, the present disclosure provides improved mammalian cells expressing the product of interest, where the cells (e.g., Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells) have reduced or eliminated activity, e.g., expression, of certain host cell proteins, e.g., enzymes including, but not limited to, certain lipases, esterases, and/or hydrolases.

Oligonucleotide—containing pharmacological compositions and their use

The present invention relates to methods and compositions containing oligonucleotides suitable for administration to humans and other mammals.

COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING MILK FAT TRIGLYCERIDES PRODUCED BY MICROBIAL FERMENTATION

The present disclosure relates to microbial hosts and methods for biosynthesis of compositions comprising milk fat triglycerides.

Methanol dehydrogenase fusion proteins

Described herein are fusion proteins including methanol dehydrogenase (MeDH) and at least one other polypeptide such as 3-hexulose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (HPS) or 6-phospho-3-hexuloisomerase (PHI), such as DHAS synthase or fructose-6-Phosphate aldolase or such as DHA synthase or DHA kinase. In a localized manner, the fusion protein can promote the conversion of methanol to formaldehyde and then to a ketose phosphate such as hexulose 6-phosphate or then to DHA and G3P. When expressed in cells, the fusion proteins can promote methanol uptake and rapid conversion to the ketose phosphate or to the DHA and D3P, which in turn can be used in a pathway for the production of a desired bioproduct. Beneficially, the rapid conversion to the ketose phosphate or to the DHA and G3P can avoid the undesirable accumulation of formaldehyde in the cell. Also described are engineered cells expressing the fusion protein, optionally include one or more additional metabolic pathway transgene(s), methanol metabolic pathway genes, target product pathway genes, cell culture compositions including the cells, methods for promoting production of the target product or intermediate thereof from the cells, compositions including the target product or intermediate, and products made from the target product or intermediate.
