Abstract
Disclosed is a DNA sequence which comprises a nucleotide sequence coding for a polypeptide having glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase activity and having the amino acid sequence corresponding substantially to the amino acid sequence from A to B represented in FIGS. 1(a) and (b). The DNA sequence has an ability to biotechnologically produce a glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase.
Claims2
An isolated DNA fragment encoding a polypeptide having glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase activity, said polypeptide having an amino acid sequence that corresponds substantially to the amino acid sequence from A to B shown in FIGS. 1(a) and (b), and said glycerol 3phosphate acyltransferase activity having a higher substrate selectivity to oleoyl-(acyl-carrier protein) than to palmitoyl (acyl-carrier protein).
