Intein-Mediated Protein Splicing
view source
US Patent:

20030167533, Sep 4, 2003
Filed:

Jan 31, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/356088
Inventors:

Narendra Yadav - Chadds Ford PA, US
Jianjun Yang - Hockessin DE, US
International Classification:

A01H001/00
C12N015/82
C12N009/00
US Classification:

800/288000, 435/183000, 435/468000
Abstract:

The present invention provides methods for intein-mediated protein splicing, particularly in plants. This permits in vivo and in vitro synthesis of homogeneous and large multi-functional hybrid protein polymers and circular proteins. Additionally, methods are provided which are suitable for the regulation of transgene expression, such that a particular transgene is expressed only under selected environmental conditions, in selected plant tissues, at selected development stages, or in selected plant generations.

Methods For Accumulating Translocated Proteins

US Patent:

20040117874, Jun 17, 2004
Filed:

Oct 14, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/685105
Inventors:

Jianjun Yang - Hockessin DE, US
International Classification:

A01H001/00
C12N015/82
C12N005/04
US Classification:

800/287000, 435/069100, 435/468000, 435/419000
Abstract:

The present invention provides methods for the accumulation of translocated proteins through targeting to the apoplast, ER lumen, and vacuoles of plants. The methods proceed by providing a consisting of a DNA construct comprising a sporamin signal sequence and a target protein, and optionally, a sporamin propeptide and/or an ER retention signal, according to the specific tissue of the plant in which the translocated protein is expressed and targeted. The work disclosed herein represents the first systematic determination of each respective location's capacity for translocated protein accumulation in different plant tissues.

US Patent:

20050054752, Mar 10, 2005
Filed:

Sep 7, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/935254
Inventors:

John O'Brien - Oxford PA, US
Jianjun Yang - Hockessin DE, US
International Classification:

C03C017/00
C09D005/00
C07K002/00
US Classification:

523160000, 523161000, 530300000
Abstract:

Peptides have been identified that bind with high affinity to common ink pigments and to various print media, including paper and fabrics. These peptides were used to prepare diblock and triblock dispersants for coating applications, including ink jet printing, and diblock polymers for treating paper and fabrics. The diblock dispersants consist of a pigment-binding peptide coupled to a hydrophilic linker, a pigment-binding peptide coupled to a print medium-binding peptide or a print medium-binding peptide coupled to a hydrophobic linker. The diblock polymers consist of a print medium-binding peptide coupled to a hydrophilic linker or a benefit agent. The triblock dispersants consist of a pigment-binding peptide coupled to a hydrophilic linker, which is coupled to a print medium-binding peptide.
