  • Publication number: 20240156708
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for extending a half-life of a protein, comprising substituting one lysine residue in each of the amino acid sequences in two proteins, or to a protein having an extended half-life. The protein in which lysine residues have been substituted according to the present invention remains in the body for an extended period of time, and exhibits excellent treatment results. In addition, two proteins can be produced and provided in a single production process.

  • Publication number: 20220403320
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel Chlamydomonas strain with an improved oil generation function, the strain of the present invention having useful mycological characteristics as a strain that provides a useful substance, such as a vegetable oil, in a microalga, as the strain has a fast cell growth speed and an excellent lipid generation function compared to conventional strains. In particular, the present invention can provide a vegetable oil with improved stability and a longer preservation period by containing, in a cell, a large amount of antioxidant pigments such as lutein and zeaxanthin, and can, thereby, be usefully used in industries such as food, medicine, cosmetics, etc., which utilize a vegetable oil.

  • Patent number: 10980252
    Abstract: A new alga having an improved ability to produce a pigment is disclosed. When the alga is used, a carotenoid-based pigment, specifically, a xanthophyll can be produced by consuming less energy, so that it is possible to efficiently produce the pigment at the industrial level. The pigment can be applied as a raw material for a food, a health functional food and a medicine, which include the pigment. Since a DNA fragment is not likely to be inserted into a target base sequence or a base sequence other than the target, it is expected that the procedure of constructing the mutant is not regulated as a GMO.

  • Patent number: 9540653
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light-inducible promoter and a gene expression system containing the same, and provides: a light-inducible promoter comprising a nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 12; and a method for producing heterologous proteins using the same. Since the light-inducible promoter of the present invention induces the expression of a gene by the irradiation of light and regulates an expression amount of the gene according to an intensity of light, it is possible to conveniently regulate the expression of the gene without straining the growth or metabolic process of an organism. In addition, the present invention can be applied to various types of organisms, and thus has a wide range of application.
