  • Publication number: 20240035041
    Abstract: The disclosure describes a transgenic dicot or monocot plant having bovine milk protein(s) (e.g., bovine casein) and methods of producing the transgenic dicot or monocot plant containing bovine milk protein(s). These transgenic dicot or monocot plants can express and produce bovine milk protein(s) (e.g., bovine casein). The methods involve introducing a recombinant DNA construct expressing a bovine milk protein into a dicot or monocot plant, obtaining the dicot or monocot plant containing the bovine milk protein(s) from a recombinant DNA construct, cultivating and harvesting the transgenic dicot or monocot plant, and extracting and purifying the bovine milk protein(s) (e.g., bovine casein) from transgenic dicot or monocotyledonous plants. The disclosure also describes food compositions comprising milk proteins produced using the transgenic dicot or monocot plants described herein.

  • Patent number: 11840717
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for producing milk proteins, which allow for safe, sustainable and humane production of milk proteins for commercial use, such as use in food compositions. The disclosure further teaches methods of increasing the production/accumulation of casein proteins in host cells by co-expressing a kinase capable of phosphorylating the casein protein. Specifically, the disclosure provides host cells comprising a heterologous casein protein and a heterologous casein. Stable transgenic plants expressing heterologous caseins and heterologous kinase proteins are also provided. In some embodiments, the heterologous casein proteins of the disclosure are contained within fusion proteins comprising at least first protein and a second protein, wherein at least one of the first protein and the second protein is a milk protein, or fragment thereof. The disclosure also provides methods for producing the recombinant fusions proteins, and food compositions comprising the same.
