  • Oil globule protein and uses thereof
    Patent number: 9802989
    Abstract: An isolated novel oil globule protein encoded by a polynucleotide sequence is provided together with a composition which includes the isolated protein. A transgenic organism transformed by a polynucleotide encoding a protein which at least partially comprises the amino acid sequence of the novel oil globule protein is also provided. The invention also provides a method for producing or enhancing the production of a carotenoid such as astaxanthin, which is an oil globule constituent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 30, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2017
    Assignees: Ben Gurion University of the Negev Research and Development Authority, Yeda Research and Development Co. Ltd. at the Weizmann Institute of Science
    Inventors: Sammy Boussiba, Ehud Peled, Uri Pick, Aliza Zarka, Stefan Lou, Meira Weiss
  • Acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1-like gene () and uses thereof
    Patent number: 9410132
    Abstract: An isolated protein which is at least partially encoded by a polynucleotide sequence encoding a novel acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1-like gene (PtDGAT1) from the diatom Phaeodactylum tricomutum is provided together with a composition which includes the isolated protein and a transgenic organism transformed by a polynucleotide encoding same. The invention also provides a method for producing or enhancing the production of oil or triacylglycerols with high saturated fatty acids content.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2016
    Assignee: Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Research and Development Authority
    Inventors: Freddy Guiheneuf, Stefan Leu, Aliza Zarka, Inna Khozin-Goldberg, Sammy Boussiba
