Genes encoding proteins having transglycosylation activity

摘要

Genes encoding proteins each having an amino acid sequence represented by any of SEQ ID NOS: 7 to 10 and 12 showing the activity of transferring a glycosyl group to the 5-position of a flavonoid; genes encoding protein each having an amino acid sequence derived from any of the above amino acid sequences by modification and showing the activity of transferring a glycosyl group to the 5-position of a flavonoid; and a process for producing the above proteins with the use of these genes. These genes are usable in, for example, artificially improving plant colors.
