Abstract
Provided are a transformant produced by introducing a gene coding for a cis-prenyltransferase and a gene coding for a Nogo-B receptor, which are considered to be involved in polyisoprenoid biosynthesis, into a host to allow the host to express the cis-prenyltransferase and the Nogo-B receptor, and a method for producing a polyisoprenoid using the transformant. The present invention relates to a transformant produced by introducing a gene coding for a cis-prenyltransferase and a gene coding for a Nogo-B receptor into a host to allow the host to express the cis-prenyltransferase and the Nogo-B receptor.
Claims6
A transformant of a Hevea or Taraxacum cell, produced by introducing a gene coding for a cis-prenyltransferase and a gene coding for a Nogo-B receptor into a Hevea or Taraxacum cell for the cell to express the cis-prenyltransferase and the Nogo-B receptor,
- wherein the gene coding for a Nogo-B receptor is either of the following DNAs:
- a DNA comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 5;
- and
- a DNA having at least 90% sequence identity with the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 5,
- wherein the gene coding for a cis-prenyltransferase is either of the following DNAs:
- a DNA comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 3;
- and
- a DNA having at least 90% sequence identity with the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 3.
