  • Methods for conversion of the substrate specificity of desaturases
    Patent number: 11046937
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the conversion of the substrate specificity of desaturases. Specifically, the present invention pertains to a method for the conversion of the substrate specificity of a ?5 and/or ?6 desaturase to the substrate specificity of a ?4 desaturase, the method comprising: identifying regions and/or amino acid residues which control the substrate specificity of (i) the ?5 and/or ?6 desaturase and (ii) the ?4 desaturase; and replacing in the amino acid sequence of the mentioned ?5 and/or ?6 desaturase, the regions and/or amino acid residues which control the substrate specificity of the ?5 and/or ?6 desaturase, by the corresponding regions and/or amino acid residues which control the substrate specificity of the ?4 desaturase, thereby converting the substrate specificity of the ?5 and/or ?6 desaturase to the substrate specificity of the ?4 desaturase.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 29, 2021
    Assignees: BASF PLANT SCIENCE COMPANY GMBH, Bioriginal Food & Science Corp.
    Inventors: Toralf Senger, Patricia Vrinten, Ze Long Lim
