专利号:US-6593459-B1 优先权日:1998-06-16 标题:Synthetic glycosulfopeptides and methods of synthesis thereof 发明人:CUMMINGS RICHARD D; MCEVER RODGER P 权利人:UNIV OKLAHOMA 摘要:A new class of synthetic glycosulfopeptides (GSPs) which have one or more sulfated tyrosine residues and a glycan linked to the peptide, the glycan preferably including a sialyl Lewis x group or a sialyl Lewis a group. In a preferred version the GSPs have an O-glycan comprising a β1,6 linkage to a GalNAc. The present invention further contemplates in vitro methods of the synthesis of these GSPs without the use of the cells and methods of their use in vivo as powerful anti-inflammatory antithrombotic, or anti-metastatic compounds. The invention also contemplates a method of synthesizing oligosaccharides by cleaving the glycan from the GSP.
专利号:US-2004053274-A1 优先权日:2002-09-04 标 题 :Gene cluster of vicenistatin biosynthesis, a vicenisamine glycosyltransferase polypeptide, and a gene encoding the polypeptide 发明人:KAKINUMA KATSUMI 权利人:TOKYO INST TECH 摘要:To achieve enzymatic production of vicenistatin, a valuable compound, this invention provides enzymes involved in biosynthesis of vicenistatin and genes encoding the enzymes. This invention provides base sequence of the vin cluster which encodes enzyme complex responsible for biosynthesis of vicenistatin. This invention further provides a glycosyltransferase (VinC enzyme), which catalyzes production of vicenistatin using dTDP-vicenisamine as a substrate. Moreover, this invention provides a gene (vinC gene) encoding the enzyme. The VinC enzyme is useful for enzymatic synthesis of valuable compound vicenistatin. Furthermore, it is suggested that use of the VinC enzyme will enable development of novel polyketide glycosides.

专利号:US-6075183-A 优先权日:1997-04-11 标 题:Methods and compositions for synthesis of long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids in plants 发明人:KNUTZON DEBORAH; MUKERJI PRADIP; HUANG YUNG-SHENG; THURMOND JENNIFER; CHAUDHARY SUNITA 权利人:ABBOTT LAB; CALGENE LLC 摘要:The present invention relates to compositions and methods for preparing poly-unsaturated long chain fatty acids in plants, plant parts and plant cells, such as leaves, roots, fruits and seeds. Nucleic acid sequences and constructs encoding fatty acid desaturases, including Δ5-desaturases, Δ6-desaturases and Δ12-desaturases, are used to generate transgenic plants, plant parts and cells which contain and express one or more transgenes encoding one or more desaturases. Expression of the desaturases with different substrate specificities in the plant system permit the large scale production of poly-unsaturated long chain fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, α-linoleic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid and the like for modification of the fatty acid profile of plants, plant parts and tissues. Manipulation of the fatty acid profiles allows for the production of commercial quantities of novel plant oils and products.
专利号:US-6004787-A 优先权日:1991-01-17 标题:Method of directing biosynthesis of specific polyketides 发明人:KATZ LEONARD; DONADIO STEFANO; MCALPINE JAMES B 权利人:ABBOTT LAB 摘要:A method to produce novel polyketide structures by designing and introducing specified changes in the DNA governing the synthesis of the polyketide is disclosed. The biosynthesis of specific polyketide analogs is accomplished by genetic manipulation of a polyketide-producing microorganism by isolating a polyketide biosynthetic gene-containing DNA sequence, identifying enzymatic activities associated within the DNA sequence, introducing one or more specified changes into the DNA sequence which codes for one of the enzymatic activities which results in an altered DNA sequence, introducing the altered DNA sequence into the polyketide-producing microorganism to replace the original sequence, growing a culture of the altered microorganism under conditions suitable for the formation of the specific polyketide analog, and isolating the specific polyketide analog from the culture. The method is most useful when the segment of the chromosome modified is involved in an enzymatic activity associated with polyketide biosynthesis, particularly for manipulating polyketide synthase genes from Saccarharopolyspora or Streptomyces.
