Title:
新規なカロテノイドヒドロキシラーゼ遺伝子及び水酸化されたカロテノイドの製造法及び新規なゲラニルゲラニルピロリン酸シンターゼ遺伝子
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4460621
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The present invention provides a Brevundimonas sp. strain SD212-derived peptide having ²-ionone ring-2-hydroxylase activity and a gene encoding the same, to thereby make it possible to produce rare carotenoids in which a hydroxyl group is introduced at the position 2 (2') carbon in their ²-ionone ring in large quantities. The present invention also provides a novel gene encoding an enzyme which introduces a hydroxyl group at the position 3 (3') carbon in the ²-ionone ring of carotenoids, and a novel gene encoding a geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase.
