5 results about "Gene dosage" patented technology

Gene dosage is the number of copies of a particular gene present in a genome. Gene dosage is known to be related to the amount of gene product the cell is able to express, however, amount of gene product produced in a cell is more commonly dependent on regulation of gene expression. Nonetheless, changes in gene dosage (copy number variations) due to gene insertions or deletions can have significant phenotypic consequences.

Gene dose effect target for improving rapamycin resistance and application

The invention relates to a gene dose effect target spot for improving rapamycin resistance and application of the gene dose effect target spot. A target spot gene is YCL039W and / or YCL037C, or human WDR26 and / or LARP1; the YCL039W and / or YCL037C are / is overexpressed in the saccharomycetes, so that the rapamycin resistance of the saccharomycetes can be improved, and the constructed recombinant function can better grow under the pressure condition of the rapamycin; and the sensitivity of the rapamycin can be improved by knocking down the WDR26 and / or the LARP1 in human cells, so that the application of the rapamycin drug resistance in clinical treatment is widened.

Engineered yeast for fermentation production of L-tryptophan by using methanol carbon source and application of engineered yeast

The invention provides yeast engineering bacteria for producing L-tryptophan by utilizing methanol carbon source fermentation and application, and belongs to the technical field of biology. According to the engineered yeast, a methanol substrate is coupled with a methanol inducible promoter induction system, so that the gene expression intensity is dynamically matched with the methanol consumption rate, and the problem of regulation lag caused by separation of an inducer and a substrate in a traditional carbon source is solved; in addition, a gene recombination technology is adopted to enhance expression of key genes in the synthesis route of the L-tryptophan, and the biosynthesis efficiency of the L-tryptophan is remarkably improved by increasing the dosage of target genes, enhancing supply of precursor substances and knocking out genes related to catabolism of the tryptophan in chassis cells at the same time. The constructed yeast engineering bacterium has the characteristics of clear metabolic background and strong heterologous expression ability, can be used for synthesizing L-tryptophan from the beginning completely by taking methanol as a carbon source, effectively gets rid of the dependence of a traditional process on grain resources, reduces the production cost, and provides a brand new technical path for industrial production of L-tryptophan.
