PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbamoyl phosphate synthase of Corynebacterium, to provide a gene encoding the synthase, and to provide a method for producing L-arginine by microorganisms through making use of the gene. SOLUTION: This gene is a DNA fragment encoding the polypeptides in (a) and (c) described below: (a) a polypeptide capable of constituting a protein having the major subunit of a carbamoyl phosphate synthase having a specific amino acid sequence derived from Brevibacterium lactofermentum and carbamoyl phosphate synthase activity as well, and (c) a polypeptide capable of constituting a protein having the minor subunit of a carbamoyl phosphate synthase having the same specific amino acid sequence as mentioned above and carbamoyl phosphate synthase activity as well. |
