Fatty Acid Elongase 3-Ketoacyl Coa Synthase Polypeptides
view source
US Patent:

6713664, Mar 30, 2004
Filed:

Jun 8, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/877476
Inventors:

Jan G. Jaworski - Oxford OH
Brenda J. Blacklock - Oxford OH
Assignee:

Miami University - Oxford OH
International Classification:

A01H 500
US Classification:

800298, 800281, 435419, 4352542, 536 236
Abstract:

Elongase KCS polypeptides with altered substrate specificity and/or catalytic activity are disclosed. Such elongase KCS polypeptides are effective for producing very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) fatty acids. Also disclosed are nucleic acids encoding elongase KCS polypeptides, and yeast and plants expressing these polypeptides.

US Patent:

7038112, May 2, 2006
Filed:

Jun 18, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/883797
Inventors:

Jan G. Jaworski - Oxford OH, US
Martha Ann Post-Beittenmiller - Ardmore OK, US
James Todd - Oxford OH, US
Assignee:

Miami University - Oxford OH
International Classification:

A01H 5/00
C12N 15/82
US Classification:

800298, 800281, 800287
Abstract:

Nucleic acids are disclosed that encode fatty acid β-keto acyl synthases from plants. Such synthases are effective for producing very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), e. g. , C22 to C26, preferentially saturated but also monounsaturated. Also disclosed are polypeptides encoded by such nucleic acids. Transgenic plants expressing these polypeptides exhibit altered levels of VLCFA in one or more tissues, such as seeds of leaves.

US Patent:

20120174253, Jul 5, 2012
Filed:

Sep 15, 2010
Appl. No.:

13/395616
Inventors:

Nii Patterson - Chelmsford MA, US
Jihong Tang - Brighton MA, US
Edgar Benjamin Cahoon - Lincoln NE, US
Jan G. Jaworski - Town and Country MO, US
Wenyu Yang - Saint Louis MO, US
Oliver P. Peoples - Arlington MA, US
Kristi D. Snell - Belmont MA, US
International Classification:

A01H 1/02
A01H 5/00
C07C 59/147
US Classification:

800264, 554115, 800298, 800306, 800312, 800314, 8003173, 8003201, 800322
Abstract:

Transgenic oilseed plants, plant material, plant cells, and genetic constructs for synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (“PHA”) are provided. In a preferred embodiment, the transgenic oilseed plants synthesize (poly)3-hydroxybutyrate (“PHB”) in the seed. Genes utilized include phaA, phaB, phaC, all of which are known in the art. The genes can be introduced in the plant, plant tissue, or plant cell using conventional plant molecular biology techniques.

Assignee:

Miami University - Oxford OH
Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation - Ardmore OK
International Classification:

A01H 500
C12N 1582
US Classification:

800298
Abstract:

Nucleic acids are disclosed that encode fatty acid. beta. -keto acyl synthases from plants. Such synthases are effective for producing very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), e. g. , C22 to C26, preferentially saturated but also monounsaturated. Also disclosed are polypeptides encoded by such nucleic acids. Transgenic plants expressing these polypeptides exhibit altered levels of VLCFA in one or more tissues, such as seeds or leaves.
