Abstract
The present disclosure relates to oxidative decarbonylase enzymes, methods of making hydrocarbons with such enzymes, hydrocarbons produced therefrom and uses thereof. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to isolated polypeptide sequences that are cytochrome P450 enzymes with oxidative decarbonylase activity and methods of their use to generate hydrocarbon products, such as biofuels.
Claims20
An isolated polypeptide sequence at least 95% homologous to the amino acid sequence of CYP4G2 (SEQ ID NO:
- 1) or CYP4G1 (SEQ ID NO:
- 2).
A recombinant nucleic acid sequence comprising a promoter operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a peptide selected from:
- a) a sequence as set forth by SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 2;
- or
- b) a sequence sharing 95% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 2.
