  • Fusion proteins between plant cell-wall degrading enzymes, and their uses
    Patent number: 7981650
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of fusion proteins between at least two plant cell-wall degrading enzymes, the enzymes being such that they do not contain a C-terminal carbohydrate-binding-molecule (CBM), and optionally a CBM, the enzymes and CBM being recombinant proteins corresponding to native proteins in fungi, or mutated forms thereof, for carrying out processes of plant cell-wall degradation in the frame of the preparation, from plants or vegetal by-products, of compounds of interest located in plant cell-wall, or in the frame of the bleaching of pulp and paper.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2006
    Date of Patent: July 19, 2011
    Assignees: Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Institut Francais du Petrole
    Inventors: Anthony Levasseur, David Navarro, Peter Punt, Jean-Pierre Belaïch, Marcel Asther, Frédéric Monot, Eric Record
  • FUSION PROTEINS BETWEEN PLANT CELL-WALL DEGRADING ENZYMES AND A SWOLLENIN, AND THEIR USES
    Publication number: 20090221039
    Abstract: The invention relates to fusion proteins including at least a swollenin and at least a plant cell-wall degrading enzyme, the swollenin, and plant cell-wall degrading enzyme, being recombinant proteins corresponding to native proteins in fungi, or mutated forms thereof. The invention also relates to the use of fusion proteins as defined above, for carrying out processes of plant cell-wall degradation in the frame of the preparation, from plants or vegetal by-products, of compounds of interest located in plant cell-wall, or in the frame of the bleaching of pulp and paper, or for biofuel production, or food industries.
