Abstract
Guayule rubber particles, contain several characteristic proteins. The most abundant of these proteins, the rubber particle protein (RPP) has been shown to be a non-monooxygenase, cytochrome P450, heme-binding protein that is necessary for rubber biosynthesis. A full-length cDNA clone for guayule RPP has been isolated, sequenced and characterized. The pRPP30 coding sequence is transferable to other prokaryotic or eukaryotic host organisms wherein the RPP DNA will be expressed to produce functional RPP for rubber biosynthesis.
