  • Anti-microbial proteins
    Patent number: 6300103
    Abstract: An anti-microbial protein comprising a peptide having the amino acid sequence: AA1-AA2-AA3-Cys-AA5-AA6-AA7-AA8-AA9-Cys-AA11-AA12-AA13-AA14-Cys-Cys-AA17-AA18-AA19-AA20-AA21-Cys-AA23-AA24-AA25-AA26-AA27-AA28-Cys-AA30. An anti-microbial protein having the sequence depicted in any one of SEQ ID Nos 1-3. Recombinant DNA encoding such proteins. A vector comprising such DNA which is expressible in plants and which is linked to a plant operable promoter and terminator. Plants transformed with such recombinant DNA; the progeny of such plants which contain the DNA stably incorporated and hereditable in a Mendelian manner, and/or the seeds of such plants or such progeny.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 19, 2000
    Date of Patent: October 9, 2001
    Assignee: Syngenta Participants AG
    Inventors: Karsten Matthias Kragh, Jørn Dalgaard Mikkelsen, Klaus Kristian Nielsen
  • Antimicrobial proteins
    Patent number: 6242574
    Abstract: Isolated proteins having anti-fungal activity against at least Cercospora spp. The proteins contain an amino acid sequence which has at least 95% sequence identity to any of the following sequences: SEQ ID NO:3 wherein the amino acid in position 80 is alanine instead of valine, SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:6. Recombinant DNA molecules encoding such proteins. A vector comprising such DNA which is expressible in plants and which is linked to a plant operable promoter and terminator. Plants transformed with such recombinant DNA; the progeny of such plants which contain the DNA stably incorporated and hereditable in a Mendelian manner, and/or the seeds of such plants or such progeny.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 1999
    Date of Patent: June 5, 2001
    Assignee: Syngenta Participations AG
    Inventors: Klaus Kristian Nielsen, Anne Kroll Kristensen, Janne Brunstedt
