The invention further relates to transformed plants and plant cells expressing non-mammalian β-1,4-galacto-syltransferase and methods to produce glycoproteins with altered and preferably mammalian-type glycosylation. The invention additionally provides nucleic acid molecules and expression vectors of non-mammalian β-1,4-galactosyltransferases. | 03-17-2011 |
20100227363 | ALG3 MUTANT - The present invention relates to a method to produce proteins reduced in high mannose type glycans in a plant or plant cell by partially inhibiting the expression of the Alg3 gene in said plant or plant cell. Said partial inhibition can be provided for by inserting the Alg3 mutant gene from | 09-09-2010 |
20100122365 | OPTIMIZING GLYCAN PROCESSING IN PLANTS - The invention is directed to methods for optimizing glycan processing in organisms (and in particular, plants) so that a glycoprotein having complex type bi-antennary glycans and thus containing galactose residues on both arms and which are devoid of (or reduce in) xylose and fucose can be obtained. The invention is further directed to said glycoprotein obtained and host system comprising said protein. | 05-13-2010 |
20090178158 | RESISTANCE AGAINST PARASITIC WEEDS - The seeds of parasitic plants of the genera | 07-09-2009 |
20090049568 | METHOD FOR PREVENTING DEHISCENCE AND ALTERING PLANT LIGNIFICATION - A method to prevent dehiscence in a plant or to alter plant lignification including providing the plant with a nucleotide protein coding for a GGL protein or a functional equivalent thereof, and growing the plant. Also, the isolated GGL protein or functional equivalents, a nucleic acid encoding the protein and vectors, host cells and plants including the nucleic acid. | 02-19-2009 |
20090031455 | TERPENE HYDROXYLATION - The present invention provides a novel cytochrome P450 enzyme, as well as vectors and recombinant host cells comprising the gene encoding the enzyme. Provided are recombinant plant with enhanced disease and/or pest resistance, modified favour and/or fragrance and methods for hydroxy lifting terpene substrates. | 01-29-2009 |
20080286297 | Chimeric Carrier Molecules for the Production of Mucosal Vaccines - The invention relates to a protein complex for the delivery of an antigen to and across mucosal surfaces and the production of said complex in a host cell, such as a plant. Provided is a protein complex comprising at least two, preferably identical, subunits wherein at least one subunit is unaltered and at least one subunit is fused to a first molecule of interest and wherein the protein complex is able to interact with a cell surface receptor via said subunits. Also provided is a method for producing a protein complex according to the invention, comprising a) providing a host cell with a nucleotide sequence encoding an unaltered subunit and a nucleotide sequence encoding a molecule of interest, wherein at least one molecule of interest is fused to a subunit; b) culturing said host cell thereby allowing expression of said nucleotide sequences and allowing for assembly of the protein complex; c) isolating the complex; d) determining the binding of the complex to a cell surface receptor or to a molecule which mimics a cell surface receptor | 11-20-2008 |
