  • 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase variants whose inhibition by L-serine is reduced, and genes encoding them
    Patent number: 7582460
    Abstract: A 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PGD) which exhibits a susceptibility to inhibition by serine which is reduced a as compared with that of an Escherichia coli wild-type PGD and which possesses an amino acid sequence which differs from the amino acid sequence of the Escherichia coli wild-type PGD (SEQ ID NO: 2) in that an amino acid apart from glycine is present at position 249 or an amino acid apart from threonine is present at position 372.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2004
    Date of Patent: September 1, 2009
    Assignee: Wacker Chemie AG
    Inventors: Thomas Maier, Renate Flinspach
