VACUOLAR TRANSPORT SIGNAL PEPTIDE OF SOYBEAN beta-CONGLYCININ AND UTILIZATION THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for mass-synthesizing the objective protein in a plant, especially a soybean seed and to provide a peptide having a specific amino acid sequence for promoting stable accumulation thereof in the plant (especially the soybean) seed.

SOLUTION: A specific amino acid sequence or a sequence composed of at least ≥4 residues on the N-terminal side in the specific amino acid sequence as a vacuolar transport signal peptide for a protein storage vacuole is added to either of the C-terminus and the N-terminus. The resultant protein is expressed in the plant seed in a genetic engineering manner.
