  • Regulation of endogenous gene expression in cells using zinc finger proteins
    Patent number: 6607882
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for modulating expression of endogenous cellular genes using recombinant zinc finger proteins.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 6, 2000
    Date of Patent: August 19, 2003
    Assignee: Sangamo BioSciences, Inc.
    Inventors: George N. Cox, III, Casey C. Case, Stephen P. Eisenberg, Eric E. Jarvis, Sharon K. Spratt
  • Isolated gene encoding an enzyme with UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase and phosphoglucomutase activities from Cyclotella cryptica
    Patent number: 5928932
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cloned gene which encodes an enzyme, the purified enzyme, and the applications and products resulting from the use of the gene and enzyme. The gene, isolated from Cyclotella cryptica, encodes a multifunctional enzyme that has both UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase and phosphoglucomutase activities.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 3, 1996
    Date of Patent: July 27, 1999
    Assignee: Midwest Research Institute
    Inventors: Eric E. Jarvis, Paul G. Roessler
  • Method to transform algae, materials therefor, and products produced thereby
    Patent number: 5661017
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method to transform chlorophyll C-containing algae which includes introducing a recombinant molecule comprising a nucleic acid molecule encoding a dominant selectable marker operatively linked to an algal regulatory control sequence into a chlorophyll C-containing alga in such a manner that the marker is produced by the alga. In a preferred embodiment the algal regulatory control sequence is derived from a diatom and preferably Cyclotella cryptica. Also disclosed is a chimeric molecule having one or more regulatory control sequences derived from one or more chlorophyll C-containing algae operatively linked to a nucleic acid molecule encoding a selectable marker, an RNA molecule and/or a protein, wherein the nucleic acid molecule does not normally occur with one or more of the regulatory control sequences. Further specifically disclosed are molecules pACCNPT10, pACCNPT4.8 and pACCNPT5.1.

    Date of Patent: August 26, 1997
    Inventors: Terri Goodman Dunahay, Paul G. Roessler, Eric E. Jarvis
  • Method for fabricating a substrate having spaced apart microcapillaries thereon
    Patent number: 5383512
    Abstract: Methods for manufacturing a self-supporting substrate having a plurality of spaced-apart needles (spikes or microcapillaries) projecting upwardly from a major surface of the substrate. In a preferred method, metal is deposited onto a porous membrane such that the metal extends into the pores, after which the membrane is dissolved.
