Seiki Kuramitsu 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).

  • DNA repair enzymes, nucleic acids encoding DNA repair enzymes and methods of using them
    Patent number: 6939949
    Abstract: The invention provides novel DNA repair enzymes, genes encoding the enzymes, and methods of using these polypeptides and nucleic acids, including DNA repair.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 24, 2001
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2005
    Assignee: Riken
    Inventors: Seiki Kuramitsu, Shigeyuki Yokoyama
  • Mutant kanamycin nucleotidyltransferase and a method of screening thermophilic bacteria using the same
    Publication number: 20040077016
    Abstract: To obtain a selective marker suitable for screening of thermophilic bacteria such as Thermus thermophilus. T. thermophilus are good research materials for investigating the interrelation between enzyme structures and functions since they are stable at extreme pH, crystallize easily and are easy-to-handle.
    Type: Application

  • Mutant kanamycin nucleotidyltransferases from S. aureus
    Patent number: 6723543
    Abstract: It is desirable to have selective markers suitable for screening of thermophilic bacteria such as Thermus thermophilus. T. thermophilus are good research materials for investigating the interrelation between enzyme structures and functions since they are stable at extreme pH, crystallize easily and are easy-to-handle. Novel mutants of Staphylococcus aureus kanamydn nucleotidyltransferase with markedly improved thermostability are disclosed, as well as a selective marker using the same, and a screening method for thermophilic bacteria such as T. thermophilus using said selective marker.
