  • Patent number: 11939603
    Abstract: A modified cutinase is disclosed. The cutinase has the modified amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the modification is a substitution of asparagine at position 181 with alanine, or substitutions of asparagine at position 181 with alanine and phenylalanine at position 235 with leucine. The modified enzyme has improved PET-hydrolytic activity, and thus, the high-activity PET hydrolase is obtained, and the industrial application value of the PET hydrolase is enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20220387584
    Abstract: Disclosed are inhibitors of mevalonate pathway as an efficient vaccine adjuvant and use thereof. In particular, the inhibitor is an acetoacetyl-CoA transferase inhibitor, a HMG-CoA synthase inhibitor, a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, a mevalonate kinase inhibitor, a phosphomevalonate kinase inhibitor, a mevalonate-5-pyrophosphate decarboxylase inhibitor, an isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase inhibitor, a farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase inhibitor, a geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase inhibitor or a geranylgeranyl transferase (I, II) inhibitor. Also disclosed is an immunogenic composition comprising inhibitors of mevalonate pathway as an adjutant.
