  • Hyperthermostable .beta.-galactosidase gene, enzyme encoded thereby, and process for production
    Patent number: 5962326
    Abstract: An isolated SDS-resistant hyperthermostable .beta.-galactosidase gene derived from Pyrococcus furiosus. Examples thereof include genes respectively shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2 and genes each hybridizable with the above gene shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. A method of cloning the hyperthermostable .beta.-galactosidase gene in which each of the above genes or pacts thereof is used as a probe or primer. A process for producing a hyperthermostable .beta.-galactosidase by culturing a transformant into which a plasmid containing each of the above gene has been introduced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 18, 1997
    Date of Patent: October 5, 1999
    Inventors: Atsushi Shimada, Miki Odate, Nobuto Koyama, Kimikazu Hashino, Kiyozo Asada, Ikunoshin Kato
  • Hyperthermostable .beta.-galactosidase gene, enzyme encoded thereby, and process for production
    Patent number: 5744345
    Abstract: An isolated hyperthermostable .beta.-galactosidase gene derived from Pyrococcus furiosus is described. Examples include DNA sequences shown in SEQ ID NO. 2 and SEQ ID NO. 4 and DNAs hybridizable with these DNAs. A method of cloning the hyperthermostable .beta.-galactosidase gene in which each of the above sequences or portions thereof is used as a probe or primer is described. A process for producing a hyperthermostable .beta.-galactosidase by culturing a transformant into which a plasmid containing each of the above genes has been introduced is described. A particularly preferred gene encodes an SDS-resistant hyperthermostable .beta.-galactosidase.
