Title: Innovations of Jae Gu Pan
Introduction
Jae Gu Pan is a notable inventor based in Taejon, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of biotechnology, particularly in the development of novel enzymes and secretion systems. With a total of 2 patents, his work has implications for various industrial applications.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a membrane-bound gluconate dehydrogenase, which includes a gene sequence encoding the same and the production of 2-keto-D-gluconate using transformed recombinant E. coli. This invention discloses a novel membrane-bound GADH from ATCC29267, which is useful for the production of 2KDG at high yields under conditions free of intracellular metabolism. The process allows for the conversion of 2KDG from glucose or D-gluconate by culturing a recombinant cell that harbors a plasmid containing the gene encoding the GADH.
Another significant patent involves an ABC transporter gene cluster in Pseudomonas fluorescens for enhanced lipase secretion. This invention provides an ABC transporter gene that encodes a protein which enhances the secretion of foreign proteins extracellularly. It includes a recombinant expression vector containing the transporter gene, a microorganism transformed with it, and a process for preparing foreign proteins. This system allows for the simple and efficient secretion of foreign proteins by employing the ABC transporter gene.
