Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosure relates to enzyme variants with improved ester synthase properties for the production of fatty acid esters. Further contemplated are recombinant host cells that express such variants, cell cultures comprising the recombinant host cells and fatty acid ester compositions produced by such recombinant host cells.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A variant ester synthase polypeptide comprising a variant of SEQ ID NO: 67, wherein said variant ester synthase polypeptide the variant of SEQ ID NO: 67 is genetically engineered to have at least one substitution mutation at an amino acid position selected from the group of G4R, T5P, T5S, D7N, S15G, T24M, T24W, L30H, G33S, L39A, L39M, L39S, R40S, D41A, D41G, D41H, D41Y, V43K, V43S, T44F, A73Q, V76L, D77A, K78F, K78W, I80V, R98D, E99Q, G101L, I102R, P111D, P111G, P111S, H122S, R131M, I146K, I146L, I146R, S147A, V149L, R150P, V155G, N164R, P166S, T170R, V171E, V171F, V171H, V171R, V171W, R172S, R172W, P173W, R177V, A179V, D182G, E184F, E184G, E184L, E184R, E184S, A185L, A185M, S186T, V187G, V187R, P188R, A190P, A190R, A190W, S192A, S192L, S192V, Q193R, Q193S, M195G, A197T, A197V, Q201A, Q201V, Q201W, A202L, D203R, P206F, R207A, G212A, G212L, V219L, V234C, H239G, T242K, T242R, A243R, Q244G, R246A, R246G, R246L, R246Q, R246V, R246W, K258R, S264D, S264V, S264W, S267G, A285R, P294G, V301A, N302G, I303G, I303R, I303W, R304W, A306G, D307F, D307G, D307L, D307N, D307R, D307V, E309A, E309G, E309S, G310H, G310R, G310V, T311S, T313S, Q314G, I315F, S316G, F317W, I319G, A320C, A323G, D328F, Q334S, Q348A, Q348R, K349A, K349C, K349H, K349Q, P351G, K352I, K352N, S353T, T356G, T356W, Q357V, M360Q, M360R, M360S, M360W, Y366G, Y366W, G375A, G375V, G375S, V381F, E393R, E393W, T395E, V409L, L411A, I420V, S424G, S424Q, S442E, S442G, M443G, A447C, A447I, A447L, L454V, D455E, L457Y, E458W, I461G, K466N, A468G, K472T and K472*, wherein said variant ester synthase polypeptide has improved fatty acid ester activity compared to a corresponding wild type polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 67.
