Patents by Inventor Kentaro Inokuma

Kentaro Inokuma 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).

  • Polynucleotide for cell surface layer expression
    Patent number: 9751917
    Abstract: Disclosed is a polynucleotide for cell surface expression. The polynucleotide of the invention comprises a promoter, a secretion signal sequence, a sequence encoding an intended protein, and a sequence encoding a cell surface-localized protein or a cell membrane-binding domain thereof, wherein the promoter is a promoter of a gene encoding the cell surface-localized protein. Provided is a polynucleotide for cell surface expression allowing the production of yeast displaying an enzyme on the cell surface with a high activity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 25, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 5, 2017
    Assignee: National University Corporation Kobe University
    Inventors: Akihiko Kondo, Tomohisa Hasunuma, Kentaro Inokuma
  • Secretion Signal Peptide, And Protein Secretory Production And Cell Surface Display Using Said Secretion Signal Peptide
    Publication number: 20170218382
    Abstract: An expression vector is disclosed which contains a promoter DNA; a DNA encoding a peptide having a defined amino acid sequence and having secretion signal activity; and a DNA encoding an intended protein or a cloning site for insertion of the DNA encoding an intended protein. An expression vector is also disclosed which contains a promoter DNA; a DNA encoding any peptide having a defined amino acid sequence and having secretion signal activity; a DNA encoding an intended protein or a cloning site for insertion of the DNA encoding an intended protein; and a DNA encoding an anchor domain. The peptide having secretion signal activity allows for secretory production and cell surface display of a protein with high activity, in yeast.
