Abstract: A novel class of diyne compounds and diyne salts provided herein are effective and potent Ole1 protein inhibitors, useful for treating fungal pathogens. Compounds, fungicides and methods are provided as novel, potent and broad spectrum anti-fungal agents for treatment against a wide variety of fungal pathogens in humans and animals, and in the agricultural setting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to combinatorial gene expression libraries and methods for making these. Such libraries are useful in discovery of novel and/or enhanced metabolic pathways leading to the production of novel compounds for e.g., drug discovery and/or to the prosecution of known compounds in novel quantities or in novel compartments of the cells. The expression libraries in particular are composed of host cells capable of co-ordinated and controllable expression of large numbers of heterologous genes in the host cells.

Abstract: In the present invention are disclosed concatemers of concatenated expression cassettes and vectors that enable the synthesis of such concatemers. The concatemer comprises in the 5??3? direction a cassette of nucleotide sequence of the general formula [rs2-SP-PR-X-TR-SP-rs1]n wherein rs1 and rs2 together denote a functional restriction site, SP individually denotes a spacer of at least two nucleotide bases, PR denotes a promoter, capable of functioning in a cell, X denotes an expressible nucleotide sequence, TR denotes a terminator, and SP individually denotes a spacer of at least two nucleotide bases, and n>/=2, and wherein at least a first cassette is different from a second cassette. The main purpose of these concatemers is the controllable and co-ordinated expression of large numbers of heterologous genes in a single host. Furthermore, the invention relates to a concatemer of cassettes of nucleotide sequences and a method for preparing the concatemers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to combinatorial gene expression libraries and methods for making these. The library comprises a collection of individual cells, the cells being denoted cell1,cell2 . . . , cell, wherein i>2, each cell comprising at least one concatemer of individual oligonucleotide cassettes, each concatemer comprising a nucleotide sequence of the following formula: (rs2-SP-PR-X-TR-SP-rs1) n wherein rs1 and rs2 together denote a restriction site, SP denotes a spacer of at least two bases, X denotes an expressible nucleotide sequence, PR denotes a promoter, capable of regulating the expression of X in the cell, TR denotes a terminator, and n 2, and wherein at least one concatemer of cell1 is different from a concatemer cell2. Such libraries are useful in discovery of novel and/or enhanced metabolic pathways leading to the production of novel compounds for e.g. drug discovery and/or to the production of known compounds in novel quantities or in novel compartments of the cells.

Abstract: In the present invention are disclosed concatemers of concatenated expression cassettes and vectors that enable the synthesis of such concatemers. The concatemer comprises in the 5′→3′ direction a cassette of nucleotide sequence of the general formula [rs2-SP—PR—X-TR—SP-rs1]n wherein rs1 and rs2 together denote a functional restriction site, SP individually denotes a spacer of at least two nucleotide bases, PR denotes a promoter, capable of functioning in a cell, X denotes an expressible nucleotide sequence, TR denotes a terminator, and SP individually denotes a spacer of at least two nucleotide bases, and n>/=2, and wherein at least a first cassette is different from a second cassette. The main purpose of these concatemers is the controllable and co-ordinated expression of large numbers of heterologous genes in a single host.
