In particular, the ribozyme sequences are directed to an mRNA encoding B7-1, B7-2, B7-3, CD40 and/or stromelysin. Also provided are ribozymes where the uracil in positions 4 and/or 7 are substituted, as well as methods for the synthesis of 2'-alkylnucleotides, 2'-O-alkylthioalkyl, or 2'-alkylthioalkylnucleotides. The application further describes a method for diprotection of RNA with aqueous ethylamine, a method for synthesis of a basic ribonucleoside mimetics, and transcription units comprising an RNA polymerase II promoter, a U6 small nuclear promoter, or an adenovirus VA1 promoter system.

Use of this composition promotes tanning of the human skin and increases photoprotection from ultraviolet radiation.
专利号:US-6004787-A 优先权日:1991-01-17 标题:Method of directing biosynthesis of specific polyketides 发明人:KATZ LEONARD; DONADIO STEFANO; MCALPINE JAMES B 权利人:ABBOTT LAB 摘要:A method to produce novel polyketide structures by designing and introducing specified changes in the DNA governing the synthesis of the polyketide is disclosed. The biosynthesis of specific polyketide analogs is accomplished by genetic manipulation of a polyketide-producing microorganism by isolating a polyketide biosynthetic gene-containing DNA sequence, identifying enzymatic activities associated within the DNA sequence, introducing one or more specified changes into the DNA sequence which codes for one of the enzymatic activities which results in an altered DNA sequence, introducing the altered DNA sequence into the polyketide-producing microorganism to replace the original sequence, growing a culture of the altered microorganism under conditions suitable for the formation of the specific polyketide analog, and isolating the specific polyketide analog from the culture. The method is most useful when the segment of the chromosome modified is involved in an enzymatic activity associated with polyketide biosynthesis, particularly for manipulating polyketide synthase genes from Saccarharopolyspora or Streptomyces.

Biosynthesis of specific polyketide analogs is accomplished by modifying a polyketide-producing microorganism by genetic manipulation by isolating a DNA sequence containing a polyketide biosynthetic gene, identifying associated enzymatic activities within the DNA sequence, introducing one or more predetermined modifications in the DNA sequence which encodes one of the enzymatic activities producing a modified DNA sequence, by introducing this modified DNA sequence into the polyketide-producing microorganism in place of the original sequence, by culturing the modified microorganism under conditions suitable for the formation of the specific polyketide analogue, then isolating the specific polyketide analogue from this culture. This method is particularly useful when the modified chromosome segment is involved in enzymatic activity associated with polyketide biosynthesis, more specifically for manipulating polyketide synthase genes from the genus Saccharapolyspora or the genus Streptomyces.
