Title:
HYDROXYLASE GENE AND USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/138894
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A vitamin D3 hydroxylase is purified from a culturedPseudonocardia autotrophica cell, and a primer is designed based on the information on amino acid sequence for the hydroxylase. Subsequently, PCR is conducted using genomic DNA of Pseudonocardia autotrophica as a template to clone a gene for the vitamin D3 hydroxylase. By conducting a conversion reaction using a microorganism in which the gene is expressed using a proper expression system, a hydroxide of vitamin D or the like (e.g., hydroxy vitamin D3) can be produced with high efficiency.
