Abstract
The present invention relates to a modified MNEI protein comprising an amino acid sequence that has two or more amino acids deletions, insertions, replacements, or any combination thereof, from a reference MNEI protein, wherein the modified MNEI protein has at least one improved food-related property compared to the reference MNEI protein; and to uses thereof in the food industry.
Claims19
A modified single chain Monellin (MNEI) protein, comprising an amino acid sequence that has two or more amino acids deletions and/or two or more amino acids insertions, to that of a reference MNEI protein, wherein the modified MNEI protein has at least one improved food-related property compared to the reference MNEI protein, and wherein the reference MNEI protein comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:45, wherein the modified MNEI protein comprises one or more amino acid replacements wherein the one or more amino acid replacement comprises an amino acid replacement of residue L70 and/or K36.
A modified single chain Monellin (MNEI) protein, comprising an amino acid sequence that has two or more amino acids deletions and/or two or more amino acids insertions, to that of a reference MNEI protein, wherein the modified MNEI protein has at least one improved food-related property compared to the reference MNEI protein, and wherein the reference MNEI protein comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:45, wherein the modified MNEI protein comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:16, SEQ ID NO:17, SEQ ID NO:
- 19, SEQ ID NO:20 and SEQ ID NO:21.
