  • Patent number: 8263376
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an isolated lipoxygenase. The lipoxygenase of the present disclosure includes polypeptide with at least 80% sequence homology to the mature peptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. Lipoxygenase of the present disclosure is suitable for use in, among other things, baking and in detergent compositions.

  • Publication number: 20110183865
    Abstract: The inventors have found a novel fungal lipoxygenase from Manaporthe salvinii and determined its sequence. They have sequenced the gene and cloned it into E. coli and deposited the clone. Oligonucleotides probes based on the sequence information are useful for screening a eukaryotic library to obtain a lipoxygenase. The lipoxygenase is useful in baking and in a detergent.

  • Patent number: 7456001
    Abstract: The invention provides sequence information of a microbial protein having lipoxy-genase activity and a method of producing the protein by recombinant DNA technology. More specifically, the inventors have isolated a gene encoding a lipoxygenase from Gaeu-mannomyces graminis, cloned it into an E. coli strain and sequenced it. A comparison shows less than 25% identity to known lipoxygenase sequences, the closest being human 15S li-poxygenase. The inventors have expressed the lipoxygenase recombinantly and found that the recombinant lipoxygenase is glycosylated.

  • Patent number: 7264954
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an isolated lipoxygenase which is: a) a polypeptide encoded by the DNA sequence cloned into plasmid pUC19 present in Escherichia coli deposited as DSM 14139; b) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of the mature peptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 1; c) a polypeptide which has at least 80% homology with the polypeptide of a) or b); or d) a polypeptide encoded by DNA that hybridizes under high stringency conditions to a complementary strand of: i) the DNA sequence cloned into plasmid pUC19 present in Escherichia coli deposited as DSM 14139; or ii) the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 encoding the mature polypeptide.
