TETRAHYDROPYRIMIDINE OXYGENASE GENE, POLYPEPTIDES ENCODED BY SAID GENE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to enzymes having tetrahydropyrimidine dioxygenase activity, to the genes coding therefor, to the homologous and heterologous expression of these genes, to processes for preparing enzymes having tetrahydropyrimidine dioxygenase activity and the use of these enzymes for in vivo and in vitro production of hydroxylated tetrahydropyrimidine. In addition, the invention relates to the biotechnological use of the hydroxylated tetrahydropyrimidine prepared by one of the processes of the invention.
