Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Also disclosed are compositions comprising thioesters produced by the methods disclosed herein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing an enzyme having thioesterase activity comprising: inserting at least one of the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 1, 3, 5 or 7 into an expression vector; transfecting an isolated host cell with said vector, and growing said transformed host cell in suitable culture conditions. 2. A method of producing thioesters comprising contacting at least one thioesterase enzyme comprising at least one of the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOS 2, 4, 6, or 8 and/or at least one isolated transfected host cell comprising at least one of the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NOS 1, 3, 5 or 7 with at least one suitable substrate, incubating the mixture, isolating the crude product containing the thioester and, purifying the crude product to obtain only the thioester. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the substrate comprises a C1-C8 short chain fatty acid coenzyme A (SCFA-CoA).
