The present disclosure relates to modified homoserine dehydrogenase and a method for producing a homoserine-derived L-amino acid using the same.

The present invention generally relates to the microbiological industry, and specifically to the production of L-serine or L-serine derivatives using genetically modified bacteria. The present invention provides genetically modified microorganisms, such as bacteria, wherein the expression of genes encoding for enzymes involved in the degradation of L-serine is attenuated, such as by inactivation, which makes them particularly suitable for the production of L-serine at higher yield. The present invention also provides means by which the microorganism, and more particularly a bacterium, can be made tolerant towards higher concentrations of serine. The present invention also provides methods for the production of L-serine or L-serine derivative using such genetically modified microorganisms.

The present disclosure relates to an L-threonine export protein variant, a microorganism including same, and a method for production of L-threonine using same.

The present disclosure relates to modified homoserine dehydrogenase and a method for producing a homoserine-derived L-amino acid using the same.

The present disclosure relates to modified homoserine dehydrogenase and a method for producing a homoserine-derived L-amino acid using the same.

A method of treating a cancer, the method comprising: providing a genetically modified macrophage or monocyte that contains a nucleic acid sequence encoding a Hom-1 polypeptide or a fragment thereof that contains the Hom-1 homeobox domain, wherein the nucleic acid sequence is operably linked to a heterologous promoter and the modified macrophage or monocyte expresses the Hom-1 polypeptide or the fragment thereof; and administering the modified macrophage or monocyte to a subject with a cancer.

The present disclosure relates to the field of genetic engineering, especially relates to a xylose-induced genetically engineered bacteria used for producing ectoine as well as a construction method and use thereof The genetically engineered bacteria is constructed by heterologously expressing the ectABC gene cluster from Halomonas elongata on the E. coli chromosome, using the promoter of xylose transporter coding gene xylF to control the RNA polymerase from T7 bacteriophage, reconstructing a synthesis pathway of ectoine and constructing a plasmid-free system, and enhancing the expression of target genes by a strong promoter T7; the yiled of ectoine reached 12-16 g/L after 20-28 h fermentation in shake flask, and reached 35-50 g/L after 24-40 h fermentation in a 5 L fermentor.

The present invention relates to the field of bio-production of ectoine. There is a need in the art for ectoine production methods allowing its highly efficient synthesis and secretion. The solution proposed in the present invention is the use of a genetically modified yeast comprising many modifications as described in the present text.

A method of the bio-production of methionine and/or of its derivatives thereof from a reduced source of sulfur, such as MeSH or MeSNa including genetically modified yeasts, having an increased ability to produce methionine and/or its derivatives thereof, as compared to the parent yeasts.
