POLYKETIDE SYNTHASE GENE DERIVED FROM DINOFLAGELLATE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polyketide synthase gene derived from Dinoflagellate producing a polyketide compound. PSOLUTION: A DNA is cloned from Dinoflagellate, Amphidinium sp., and is selected from the following (a) and (b): (a) a DNA comprising a nucleic acid sequence represented by a specific sequence, and (b) a DNA comprising a nucleic acid sequence where one or more bases in the nucleic acid sequence are deleted, substituted or added and enabling the expression of the polyketide synthase (PKS). This DNA encodes a protein having an active domain structure in a given order as a characteristic common to known PKS. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
