Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention provides microorganisms such as cyanobacteria genetically engineered to express proteins that include transcription factor domains for upregulation of lipid biosynthetic pathways. In addition to expression a gene encoding a transcription factor domain protein, the recombinant microorganisms can express at least one exogenous gene that encodes a polypeptide for the production of a fatty acid, fatty acid derivative, or triglyceride. Also included are methods of producing a fatty acid, fatty acid derivative, or triglyceride using the engineered microorganisms described herein as well as nucleic acid molecules encoding novel transcription factor domain proteins.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A recombinant cyanobacterium comprising an exogenous nucleic acid molecule encoding a transcription factor domain protein, wherein the transcription factor domain protein has transcription factor activity and comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 85% amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:6, SEQ ID NO:10, or SEQ ID NO:12, and wherein the recombinant cyanobacterium produces a greater amount of at l…
