Patent

CA 2468853

The present invention relates to new prenyltransferases, nucleic acids encoding the prenyltransferases, a method for producing vitamin E, plastoquinone and/or carotenoids by culturing geneticallymodified organisms, which have an increased prenyltransferase activity compared to the wild type, to the use of proteins as prenyltransferases and to the genetically modified organisms themselvesas well as their use in food and feed and as a source of natural vitamin E. The present invention further relates to the identification of plant prenyltransferases as a target for herbicides, to a method for identifying herbicidal agents based on plant prenyltransferases, and also to the use of compounds identified as herbicides via the abovementioned method.

la présente invention concerne des nouvelles prényltransférases, des acides nucléiques codant pour ces prényltransférases ; une méthode d'obtention de vitamine E, de plastoquinone et/ou de carotènoïdes consistant à cultiver des organismes génétiquement modifiés qui présentent une activité de prényltransférase accrue par rapport à la variante naturelle, l'utilisation de protéines en tant que prényltransférases ; les organismes génétiquement modifiés eux-mêmes ainsi que leur utilisation dans l'alimentation de l'homme et de l'animal et comme source de vitamine E naturelle. Cette invention concerne également l'identification de prényltransférases végétales en tant que cible pour herbicides, un méthode d'identification d'agents herbicides à base de prényltransférases végétales ainsi que l'utilisation des composés identifiés comme herbicides par la méthode susmentionnée.
