Abstract
A gene containing a DNA having the nucleotide sequence encoding any one of the amino acid sequences of the following (a) to (e): (a) an amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 1; (b) an amino acid sequence having the sequence homology of 80% or more with (a); (c) an amino acid sequence having the sequence homology of 90% or more with (a); (d) an amino acid sequence encoded by a DNA having the nucleotide sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2; (e) an amino acid sequence encoded by a DNA having the nucleotide sequence having the sequence homology of 80% or more with (d).
Claims22
A gene comprising a DNA having the nucleotide sequence encoding any one of the amino acid sequences of the following
- (a) to (h):
- (a) an amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- (b) an amino acid sequence having the sequence homology of 80% or more with the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO:
- 1, and the amino acid sequence is an amino acid sequence of a protein having at least an ability to reduce 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone to 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-phenylethanol;
- (c) an amino acid sequence having the sequence homology of 90% or more with the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO:
- 1, and the amino acid sequence is an amino acid sequence of a protein having at least an ability to reduce 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone to 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-phenylethanol;
- (d) an amino acid sequence encoded by a DNA having the nucleotide sequence set out in SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- (e) an amino acid sequence encoded by a DNA having the nucleotide sequence having the sequence homology of 80% or more with a DNA having the nucleotide sequence set out in SEQ ID NO:
- 2, and the amino acid sequence is an amino acid sequence of a protein having at least an ability to reduce 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone to 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-phenylethanol;
- (f) an amino acid sequence encoded by a DNA that hybridizes under the stringent condition with a DNA having a nucleotide sequence which is complementary to the nucleotide sequence set out in SEQ ID NO:
- 2, and the amino acid sequence is an amino acid sequence of a protein having at least an ability to reduce 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone to 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-phenylethanol;
- (g) an amino acid sequence of a protein obtained from a microorganism belonging to genus Leifsonia, and the amino acid sequence is an amino acid sequence of a protein having at least an ability to reduce 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone to 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-phenylethanol;
- and
- (h) an amino acid sequence of a protein obtained from Leifsonia sp. S-749, and the amino acid sequence is an amino acid sequence of a protein having at least an ability to reduce 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone to 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-phenylethanol.
Leifsonia sp. S-749 (Accession No. of International Depositary Authority:
- FERM BP-8291).
Use of a microorganism belonging to genus Leifsonia as a catalyst for producing an alcohol from a ketone compound or an aldehyde compound.
