658 results about "Phenylalanine" patented technology

Phenylalanine (symbol Phe or F) is an essential α-amino acid with the formula C₉H₁₁NO₂. It can be viewed as a benzyl group substituted for the methyl group of alanine, or a phenyl group in place of a terminal hydrogen of alanine. This essential amino acid is classified as neutral, and nonpolar because of the inert and hydrophobic nature of the benzyl side chain. The L-isomer is used to biochemically form proteins, coded for by DNA. Phenylalanine is a precursor for tyrosine, the monoamine neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and epinephrine (adrenaline), and the skin pigment melanin. It is encoded by the codons UUU and UUC.

The present invention belongs to the technical field of biological prevention and treatment for viral diseases. Disclosed in the present invention are a tomato disease-resistant gene mutant, and the use thereof in the prevention and treatment of ToBRFV. It is found in the present invention that mutating the nucleotide at position 1927 of the coding region sequence of tomato Tm-22 gene from G to A, or mutating the amino acid at position 643 of the LRR domain of a protein that is encoded by tomato Tm-22 gene from glycine to arginine can remarkably reduce the accumulation level of ToBRFV capsid protein (CP). The gene (named Tm-22-Mut5) can serve as a novel ToBRFV resistant gene, and also retains the resistance to TMV, ToMV and ToMMV. The Tm-22-Mut5 and a pre-screened Tm-22-Mut3-1 mutant (tyrosine at position 767 of the LRR domain thereof is mutated to phenylalanine) undergo combinatorial mutagenesis to obtain a mutant Tm-22-Mut6. Analysis shows that the Tm-22-Mut6 can remarkably reduce the accumulation level of the ToBRFV capsid protein. Compared with the pFGCTm-22-Mut3-1 mutant obtained by screening in the previous research and the newly obtained mutant Tm-22-Mut5, the Tm-22-Mut6 has further improved resistance to ToBRFV.
