Michèle Lecocq 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).

  • Methods of RNA and protein synthesis
    Patent number: 7186525
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for RNA and/or protein synthesis using in vitro or in vivo expression systems. More specifically, the present invention provides a method for RNA and/or protein synthesis characterized in that the concentration of alpha subunit of RNA polymerase, but not of other subunits, is increased in the cellular or cell-free system, comparing to its natural concentration existing in the cellular or cell-free system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 27, 2004
    Date of Patent: March 6, 2007
    Assignee: Universite de Nantes
    Inventors: Vehary Sakanyan, Marina Snapyan, Anahit Ghochikyan, Francoise-Michèle Lecocq
  • Microorganisms and method for L-arginine production by fermentation
    Patent number: 6897048
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microorganism having an L-arginine producing ability where the microorganism synthesizes L-arginine through the biosynthetic linear or cyclic pathway and contains a recombinant DNA containing the argJ gene encoding an enzyme having ornithine acetyltransferase activity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 26, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2005
    Assignee: Ajinomoto Co. Inc
    Inventors: Vehary Sakanyan, Frédéric Marc, Anitchka Hovsepyan, Michèle Lecocq
