Protein having glycoalkaloid biosynthetic enzyme activity and gene encoding the same

摘要

Disclosed is the provision of a DNA for a glycoalkaloid biosynthetic enzyme in a plant belonging to the family Solanaceae such as potatoes. Also disclosed is a protein having the enzymatic activity of a glycoalkaloid biosynthetic enzyme of a plant belonging to the family Solanaceae such as potatoes and a method for producing and examining a novel organism using a gene encoding this protein.

主权项

1. A recombinant vector comprising a gene consisting of the DNA of any one of the following (a) to (f):
(a) a DNA consisting of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence having 80% or more sequence identity with the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2; (c) a DNA consisting of a degenerate isomer of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, (d) a DNA consisting of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 4; (e) a DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence having 80% or more homology with the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 4; and (f) a DNA consisting of a degenerate isomer of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 4; wherein said gene encodes a glycoalkaloid biosynthetic enzyme in a plant belonging to the family Solanaceae.
