Title:
CAROTENOID SYNTHETASE AND USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016010347
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel carotenoid synthetase which can improve productivity of carotenoid, and to provide a use thereof.SOLUTION: The invention relates to a protein which can catalyze a cascade response from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate to the production of β-carotene with a single enzyme. The protein is encoded by carotenoid synthetase CrtIBY gene isolated from Aurantiochytrium genus, comprising a phytoene desaturase domain, phytoene synthetase domain, and lycopene cyclase domain. The invention also relates to a method for producing β-carotene from astaxanthin by introducing a CrtS gene.
