2 results about "Uridine phosphorylase" patented technology

Methods of treating a subject for a liver condition, e.g., NAFLD, NASH, and / or DILI, are provided. Aspects of the methods include administering to the subject an effective amount of a UPase inhibitor, optionally in combination with a uridine active agent (e.g., uridine (UR), a UR pro-drug or a UR mimetic), such as supplemental uridine, to treat the subject for the liver condition. Also provided are compositions for use in practicing the subject methods.

This invention provides a uracil-producing strain, its construction method, and its application. The strain utilizes CRIPSR / Cas9 gene editing technology to produce... E. coli On the UR14 genome, firstly by knocking out psuG Gene, black Gene, rutA Genes and upp Genes were introduced to block the breakdown of uracil; then, the uridine phosphorylase gene was overexpressed. udp and pyrimidine-5'-nucleotide nuclease gene ppnN This synergistically enhances the synthesis and accumulation of uracil; finally, overexpression of the phosphoribosyltransferase gene... pgm, Further enhancing the conversion of the byproduct 1-phosphate ribose into the precursor 5-phosphate ribose-1-pyrophosphate improves carbon utilization. The resulting strain exhibits good genetic stability and high fermentation yield, enabling stable production of uracil and demonstrating broad application prospects.
