  • OLEIC ACID PRODUCTION IN YEAST
    Publication number: 20240026395
    Abstract: Disclosed are transformed cells comprising one or more genetic modifications that affect the lipid content of the cell, e.g., by increasing the concentration of oleic acid in the cell relative to an unmodified cell of the same type. Also disclosed are methods for modifying the lipid content of a cell by increasing the activity of one or more proteins in the cell and/or by decreasing the activity of one or more proteins in the same cell.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 24, 2023
    Publication date: January 25, 2024
    Inventors: Vasiliki Tsakraklides, Elena E. Brevnova, Jonathan Friedlander, Annapurna Kamineni, Arthur J. Shaw, IV
  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS INVOLVING PROMOTERS DERIVED FROM YARROWIA LIPOLYTICA
    Publication number: 20230357728
    Abstract: The current methods and compositions provide for nucleotide sequences of promoters from Yarrowia lipolytica which may be used to drive gene expression in a cell. In some aspects, the promoters are useful for modulating lipid production in oleaginous organisms such as yeast.

  • Promoters derived from Yarrowia lipolytica and Arxula adeninivorans, and methods of use thereof
    Publication number: 20170211078
    Abstract: Disclosed are the nucleotide sequences of promoters from Arxula adeninivorans and Yarrowia lipolytica which may be used to drive gene expression in a cell. The promoters were validated, and selected promoters were screened to determine which promoters may be useful for increasing the lipid production efficiency of oleaginous yeasts.
