Filed:

May 31, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/149716

Inventors:

Jay J. Thelen - Columbia MO, US
Severin E. Stevenson - Columbia MO, US

International Classification:

C40B 30/10
C40B 60/12

US Classification:

506 12, 506 39

Abstract:

The invention provides a high-throughput method for quantitating plant seed proteins, e.g. seed allergens. Such method involves obtaining a protein sample from the seed; analyzing the sample using mass spectrometry with a set of pre-designed internal standard peptides that are specific to the plant allergens; and monitoring frequencies and intensities of resulting spectra to obtain relative and absolute allergen contents in the seed. The invention also provides a system for high-throughput profiling of plant seed allergens. Such system comprises a set of pre-designed internal standard peptides that are specific to the plant seed allergens and one or more mass spectrometers.

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method and means to change fatty acid and ultimately triacylglycerol production in plants and algae. Methods of the invention comprise the step of altering the activity levels of the committed step for de novo fatty acid biosynthesis, acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCase). More specifically, methods of the invention directly enhance the activity of ACCase by overexpression of α-CT or a catalytic portion thereof.
