Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004089154
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a new enzyme and a method for producing (2R, 3R, 6S)-verginia butanolide(VB)-A, particularly an enzyme useful for the production of (2R, 3R, 6S)-VB-A which is an actinomycete hormone capable of inducing the production of verginiamycine by Streptomyces virginiae at an extremely low concentration of several nM order and a method for producing the (2R, 3R, 6S)-VB-A by using the enzyme.

The enzyme is composed of a specific amino acid sequence derived from the Streptomyces virginiae and catalyzes the reduction reaction of 6-dehydro VB-A.
