  • Method for overproducing specific recombinant protein with monokaryotic strains
    Patent number: 8481706
    Abstract: The use of monokaryotic strains of filamentous fungi of the Pycnoporus species of the basidiomycete group, for implementing a method for preparing a specific recombinant protein, the method being carried out by overexpressing the gene encoding the protein in the Pycnoporus monokaryotic strain.
    Type: Grant

  • 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.

  • Filamentous fungus proteins for binding and transporting lipids, method for preparing them and their applications
    Patent number: 5717070
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a family of phospholipid binding and transporting proteins, a method for preparing same from fungi, and their use in cosmeticology, the agri-foodstuffs industry and pharmacology Phospholipid proteins are capable of binding, transporting and/or rearranging lipids between membranes, optionally in combination with active principles. Furthermore, the phospholipid proteins are hydrophobic and acidic, have a molecular weight of under 50 kDa, and may be prepared from a non-toxic filamentous fungus capable of developing on a lipid-enriched medium, particularly from raw extracts of fungi.
