  • Yeasts modified to use carbon dioxide
    Patent number: 10066234
    Abstract: The invention relates to yeast cells modified to express a functional type I RuBisCO enzyme, and a class II phosphoribulokinase. The expression of these enzymes recreates a Calvin cycle in said yeasts in order to enable the yeasts to use carbon dioxide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 16, 2015
    Date of Patent: September 4, 2018
    Assignees: Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Institut National Des Sciences Appliquees De Toulouse, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique
    Inventors: Denis Pompon, Frederic Paques, Julie Lesage, Stephane Guillouet, Florence Bonnot, Jillian Marc, Nathalie Gorret, Carine Bideaux, Christel Boutonnet
  • COMBINATION OF BACTERIAL CHAPERONES POSITIVELY AFFECTING THE PHYSIOLOGY OF A NATIVE OR ENGINEERED EUKARYOTIC CELL
    Publication number: 20180187204
    Abstract: The invention relates to the expression of a specific combination of three bacterial chaperones in a eukaryotic cell, which significantly improves the growth properties thereof and the properties thereof relating to resistance to physicochemical stresses, especially when said cell comprises additional engineering using at least one non-native gene. A preferred combination of chaperones comprises the chaperones GroES and GroEL of E. coli and the chaperone RbcX of Synechococcus elongatus.

  • YEASTS MODIFIED TO USE CARBON DIOXIDE
    Publication number: 20170002368
    Abstract: The invention relates to yeast cells modified to express a functional type I RuBisCO enzyme, and a class II phosphoribulokinase. The expression of these enzymes recreates a Calvin cycle in said yeasts in order to enable the yeasts to use carbon dioxide.
    Type: Application

  • Gene expression inducing fusion protein and method for controlling gene expression Induction
    Publication number: 20060134738
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gene expression inducing fusion protein comprising a) a ribonucleic acid linking peptide domain and a post-transcriptional gene expression activator domain and b) a domain enabling cytoplasmic membrane delocalization. The invention also relates to a modulatable permanent external method for controlling gene expression induction by modulating the state of post-translational modulation of the gene expression inducing fusion protein for the expression of said gene.
