Patents by Inventor Jean Weissenbach

Jean Weissenbach has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Genomic library of cyanophage s-2l and functional analysis
    Publication number: 20060270005
    Abstract: The invention relates to the genome sequence and the nucleotide sequences coding for polypeptides of cyanophage S-2L. According to the invention, the polypeptides include, but are not limited to, polypeptides involved in the synthesis, transcription and replication of purine bases. In particular, determining the genome of cyanophage S-2L is useful for supplying genes which, expressed in recombinant bacteria, enable the synthesis of DNA monomers incorporating base D (2,6 diaminopurine instead of base A (adenine), thereby producing chemically-remodelled nucleic acids in the bacteria.

  • Cloning, expression and characterization of the SPG4 gene responsible for the most common form of autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia
    Publication number: 20050266479
    Abstract: The invention concerns the identification and characterization of the SPG4 gene encoding spastin, and some mutations thereof responsible for the most frequent form of autosomal dominant familial spastic paraplegia, to the cloning and characterization of its cDNA and the corresponding polypeptides. The invention also concerns vectors, transformed cells and transgenic animals as well as diagnostic methods and kits, and methods for selecting a chemical or biological compound capable of directly or indirectly interacting with said polypeptide.
