  • Enzyme for synthesizing hydroxyl acetaldehyde and/or 1,3-dihydroxyacetone by catalyzing formaldehyde, and applications thereof
    Patent number: 11802280
    Abstract: An enzyme synthesizes hydroxyl acetaldehyde and/or 1,3-dihydroxyacetone by catalyzing formaldehyde. Site-directed mutation of benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFD) creates a mutant of the enzyme, which can polymerize the formaldehyde, A phosphoketalose (F/XPK) generates acetyl phosphoric acid from the hydroxyl acetaldehyde or 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Combination with phosphotransacetylase (Pta) provides a route from the formaldehyde to acetyl coenzyme A in three steps.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 12, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2023
    Assignee: Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences
    Inventors: Huifeng Jiang, Xiaoyun Lu, Yuwan Liu, Yiqun Yang, Lina Lu, Sheng Yang, Junran Gou
