Abstract
The present invention relates to a DNA fragment having a gene derived from fish which codes for a polypeptide possessing transglutaminase activity, a recombinant plasmid comprising a fish-derived DNA fragment which codes for a transglutaminase, a transformant into which a recombinant plasmid comprising a fish-derived DNA fragment which codes for a transglutaminase is introduced, and a method for the production of a transglutaminase, comprising culturing a transformant containing a fish-derived DNA fragment which codes for a transglutaminase.
Claims7
A DNA fragment having a gene derived from fish which codes for a polypeptide which possesses transglutaminase activity, said gene having a sequence which codes for a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:4 and SEQ ID NO:6;
- wherein said fish is Pagrus major.
A DNA fragment having a gene derived from Pagrus major having a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ ID NO:5 which codes for a polypeptide which possesses transglutaminase activity.
