  • Patent number: 11041163
    Abstract: Plants have emerged as an alternative expression system and are increasingly being used byindustry and academia for producing target proteins. However, the ability of plants to glycosylate proteins can be a significant limitation for those proteins, which do not require N-glycosylation. For example, Plasmodium falciparum proteins, or A chain of human factor XIII do not carry N-linked glycans, or the protective antigen (PA) of Bacillus anthracisis not a glycoprotein; however, these proteins contain potential N-linked glycosylation sites that can be aberrantly glycosylated during expression in yeast, mammalian, or plant systems, potentially leading to reduced functionality and immunogenicity because of incorrect/altered folding and/or masking of epitopes.

  • Patent number: 11006633
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided which employ a silencing element that, when ingested by a pest, such as a Coleopteran plant pest or a Diabrotica plant pest, decrease the expression of a target sequence in the pest. In specific embodiments, the decrease in expression of the target sequence controls the pest and thereby the methods and compositions are capable of limiting damage to a plant. The present invention provides various target polynucleotides set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOS: 1-236 or active variants and fragments thereof, wherein a decrease in expression of one or more the sequences in the target pest controls the pest (i.e., has insecticidal activity). Further provided are silencing elements which when ingested by the pest decrease the level of the target polypeptide and thereby control the pest. In specific embodiment, the pest is D. virgifera virgifera, D. barberi, D. speciosa, or D. undecimpunctata howardi.
