  • Patent number: 11875298
    Abstract: An NADP(H) nanosensor has i) a nucleic acid sequence to which a regulator is capable of binding, wherein the oxidation state of the regulator depends on the NADP(H) availability; ii) a promoter sequence following the nucleic acid sequence i), to which an RNA polymerase is capable of binding, wherein the affinity of the RNA polymerase for the promoter sequence is influenced by the oxidation state of the regulator; iii) a nucleic acid sequence which is under the control of the promoter sequence ii) and which codes for an autofluorescent protein. The present invention also relates to a cell, a method for isolating genes which code for NADP(H)-dependent enzymes, and the use of an NADP(H) nanosensor.

  • Patent number: 9644226
    Abstract: A method for producing vectors containing a gene coding for an enzyme having reduced or deactivated feedback inhibition and to the use thereof for producing amino acids and nucleotide. Genes coding for feedback-inhibited enzymes are mutagenized in vitro, —ligated into vectors in a further step—the vectors are each transformed in a microorganism containing a metabolite sensor in a further step, which brings about the synthesis of a fluorescent protein at an increased metabolite concentration, —whereupon microorganisms exhibiting increased or maximum fluorescence are selected; and —the vectors that contain a gene coding for an enzyme having reduced or deactivated feedback inhibition are isolated from microorganisms having increased or maximum fluorescence.
