MOSS GENES FROM PHYSCOMITRELLA PATENS CODING PROTEINS INVOLVED IN THE SYNTHESIS OF POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS AND LIPIDS

摘要

Isolated nucleic acid molecules, designated LMRP nucleic acid molecules, whichencode novel LMRPs from e.g. Physcomitrella patens are described. Theinvention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinantexpression vectors containing LMRP nucleic acid molecules, and host cells intowhich the expression vectors have been introduced. The invention still furtherprovides isolated LMRPs, mutated LMRPs, fusion proteins, antigenic peptidesand methods for the improvement of production of a desired compound fromtransformed cells, organisms or plants based on genetic engineering of LMRPgenes in these organisms.
