Title:
DIPHOSPHOMEVALONATE DECARBOXYLASE VARIANT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING OLEFIN COMPOUND USING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/143163
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method which can be used to highly productively manufacture an olefin compound, and an enzyme for use in the method. According to the present invention, mutations involving amino acid substitution to various sites of diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase (MVD) were introduced to prepare multiple MVD variants. The variants were evaluated in terms of catalytic activity involved in production of an olefin compound such as isoprene, and as a result, it was found that the catalytic activity improves when serine at position 153 and threonine at position 209 are each substituted with another amino acid. It was also revealed that the catalytic activities of the variants further improve by additionally substituting glycine at position 152 with another amino acid.
