Abstract:
The present invention relates to a putrescine-producing microorganism and a method for producing putrescine using the same. To be more specific, the present invention is directed to a microorganism given the ability to produce putrescine which is generated by blocking a biosynthetic pathway from ornithine to arginine, increasing the intracellular level of glutamate, enhancing the biosynthetic pathway of ornithine from glutamate, and introducing extracellular ornithine decarboxylase; and a method for producing putrescine by using the microorganism.
Abstract:
Sequences of a serotype 8 adeno-associated virus and vectors and host cells containing these sequences are provided. Also described are methods of using such host cells and vectors in production of rAAV particles.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a microorganism having an improved ornithine-producing ability, in which the biosynthetic pathway of arginine form ornithine is blocked, the intracellular glutamate level is increased, and the biosynthetic pathway of ornithine from glutamate is enhanced, and a method for producing ornithine using the microorganism.
Abstract:
Disclosed are cationic polymers comprising monomers such as those described in Formula (I). Such polymers can be useful for the preparation of therapeutic compositions [e.g., compositions comprising nucleic acids such as m RNA). Additionally, therapeutic compositions comprising these cationic, biodegradable polymers can have improved properties and reduced toxicity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism for producing putrescine or ornithine, and a method for producing putrescine or ornithine using the same. Specifically, the present invention relates to a microorganism of the genus Corynebacterium capable of producing putrescine or ornithine, in which an activity of the transcriptional regulator of sugar metabolism (SugR) is weakened, an activity of the citrate synthase (GltA) is enhanced, or both are applied; and a method for producing putrescine or ornithine using the same.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the provision of genetically modified microbial cells, such as yeast cells with an improved ability for producing L-ornithine and its derivatives. Overproduction of L-ornithine is obtained in the first place by the down-regulation or attenuation of specially selected genes, wherein said genes encode enzymes involved in the L-ornithine consumption and/or degradation pathways. Further L-ornithine production ability is improved by down-regulation, attenuation, deletion or overexpression of specially selected genes, wherein said genes encode enzymes and/or proteins involved in the L-ornithine ‘acetylated derivatives cycle’, L-glutamate synthesis pathways, subcellular trafficking, TCA cycle, pyruvate carboxylation pathway, respiratory electron-transport chain, and the carbon substrates' assimilation machinery. The invention additionally provides a method to produce L-ornithine with said modified eukaryotic cells.
Abstract:
The present invention provides, among other things, multimeric coding nucleic acids that exhibit superior stability for in vivo and in vitro use. In some embodiments, a multimeric coding nucleic acid (MCNA) comprises two or more encoding polynucleotides linked via 3′ ends such that the multimeric coding nucleic acid compound comprises two or more 5′ ends.
