Patent number: 10480003Abstract: Methods and compositions to introduce a synthetic pathway based on the 3-hydroxypropionate bicycle into an organism such as the model cyanobacterium, Synechococcus elongatus sp. PCC 7942. The heterologously expressed pathway acts as a photorespiratory bypass as well as an additional carbon fixation cycle orthogonal to the endogenous Calvin-Benson cycle. We demonstrate the function of all six introduced enzymes, which not only has implications on increasing net-photosynthetic productivity, but also key enzymes in the pathway are involved in high-value products that are of biotechnological interest, such as 3-hydroxypropionate.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2016Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Cheryl A.

Patent number: 10421793Abstract: The present invention relates to a proton-transport vesicle and a method for preparing the same, the proton-transfer vesicle comprising: (a) a single phospholipid bilayer liposome; (b) a rhodopsin protein; and (c) a photosystem II protein, wherein the rhodopsin protein and the photosystem II protein are inserted and located in a bilayer of the liposome. Since the heterologous photosensitive proteins are inserted and located in the bilayer of the liposome, the vesicle has an absorption wavelength band of the whole region of visible light by utilizing absorption bands of different lights of the respective photosensitive proteins. Thus, the restricted efficiency caused by utilizing only a specific wavelength in existing organisms or artificial vesicles was improved, and the wavelength region can be enlarged to the all wavelength ranges of visible light.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2014Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: INDUSTRY-UNIVERSITY COOPERATION FOUNDATION SOGANG UNIVERSITYInventors: Kwan Woo Shin, Hee Yeon Kim, Kwang-Hwan Jung, Keel Yong Lee, Tae Kyu Ahn
