Abstract
The present invention provides DNA sequences isolated from Perilla, Torenia, Verbena and Petunia, encoding a protein having activity that transfers a glycoside to the 5 position of a flavonoid (5GT), a host cell and plants transformed with said DNA sequences and a process for producing a protein using said DNA sequences.
Claims11
An isolated DNA encoding a protein having an amino acid sequence that has at least 50% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence as set forth in any one of SEQ ID NO:
- 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12, wherein the protein has flavonoid-5-glucosyltransferase (5GT) activity.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising the nucleotide sequence as set forth in any one of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, 3, 5, 7 or 11 encoding a plant flavanoid-5-glucosyltransferase (5GT).
