  • Patent number: 10844394
    Abstract: An AhpF protein has thioredoxin reductase, peroxidase, and chaperone activities and is derived from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and a use therefor. By using a novel activity of the AhpF of Pseudomonas aeruginosa according to the present invention, it is possible to produce a plant having strong resistance to various environmental stresses such as oxidative stress or heat stress, thereby making it possible to contribute to increasing crop productivity and mass production of useful constituents. In addition, it is possible to prevent desertification and environmental pollution through the development of transformed plants having resistance to high temperatures and drying.

  • Patent number: 9181542
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for increasing chaperone activity by irradiating peroxiredoxin (Prx) proteins. More particularly, the present invention may be useful for preparing recombinant proteins imparting resistance against various environmental stresses by increasing the chaperone activity of peroxiredoxin, since it has been observed that irradiated peroxiredoxin has enhanced chaperone activity characteristics, wherein an ?-helix structure decreases while a ?-sheet structure increases, from analysis results of a protein structure change and chaperone activity after irradiating two types of peroxiredoxins (2-Cys, 3-Cys) which are two active cysteine motifs of peroxiredoxin.
