Title:
DNA CODING FOR POLYPEPTIDE PARTICIPATING IN BIOSYNTHESIS OF PLADIENOLIDE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/009276
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A polypeptide participating in the biosynthesis of pladienolide as a macrolide compound; a DNA coding for such a polypeptide; a variant thereof; a transformant in which part or the whole of such a DNA or variant thereof has been incorporated; and a process for producing pladienolide as a macrolide compound with the use of such a transformant. In particular, there is provided an isolated pure DNA comprising at least one region coding for a polypeptide participating in the biosynthesis of pladienolide. Further, there are provided a polypeptide coded for by this DNA and a recombinant plasmid capable of self-replication or integration replication carrying this DNA. Still further, there are provided a transformant carrying this DNA and a process for producing pladienolide, characterized in that this transformant is cultured in a culture medium and pladienolide is collected from the culture solution.
