  • Promoter and plasmid system for genetic engineering
    Patent number: 7510869
    Abstract: This invention provides a series of low-copy number plasmids comprising restriction endonuclease recognition sites useful for cloning at least three different genes or operons, each flanked by a terminator sequence, the plasmids containing variants of glucose isomerase promoters for varying levels of protein expression. The materials and methods are useful for genetic engineering in microorganisms, especially where multiple genetic insertions are sought.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 2, 2006
    Date of Patent: March 31, 2009
    Assignee: E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
    Inventors: Mark S. Payne, Stephen K. Picataggio, Amy Kuang-Hsu, Ramesh Velayudhan Nair, Fernado Valle, Philippe Soucaille, Donald Eugene Trimbur
