  • 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
