NOVEL PHOSPHOLIPASE D

摘要

A modified phospholipase D having an ability to synthesize phosphatidylinositol which contains: (A) an amino acid sequence derived from the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:2 by substitution of at least one of the amino acid residues at the 187-, 191- and 385-positions by other amino acid residue(s); or (B) an amino acid sequence of a polypeptide derived from the amino acid sequence as described in the above (A) by substitution, deletion, insertion and/or addition of at least one amino acid residue at a position different from the 187-, 191- and 385-positions and having an ability to synthesize phosphatidylinositol. By using this modified phospholipase D, phosphatidylinositol can be efficiently produced from a phospholipid. It is also intended to provide a method of screening a phospholipase D having an ability to synthesize an acylglycerophospholipid having glycol group.
