  • Patent number: 9994885
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the biosynthetic pathway for a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) derived drug and analogs thereof. The invention provides polynucleotide sequences useful for heterologous expression in a convenient microbial host for the synthesis of the NRPS-derived drug, the polypeptides encoded by such polynucleotides, expression vectors comprising the polynucleotides, host cells comprising the polynucleotides or expression vectors, and kits comprising a host cell. Also provided is a method for the production of ET-743, the NRPS-derived drug.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 22, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 12, 2018
    Assignee: REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

  • Publication number: 20030088710
    Abstract: A method for developing a device application for interacting with an outside application includes the steps of installing a first driver module being one of a first native driver to operate on the device and an emulation of the first native driver and installing a first interface module for managing communication between the first driver module and the outside application, wherein the first interface module is configured to operate with both the first native driver and the emulation of the first native driver in combination with the step of installing a driver locator module which, upon receipt of a communication from the outside application, locates one of a native driver to which the communication corresponds and an emulation thereof.
