摘要 |
<p>This invention relates to genes encoding key enzymes in the biosynthesis of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone (tulipalin A). The key enzymes are glutamate decarboxylase, γ-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, γ-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and UDP-glucosyltransferase. The genes and their expression products are useful for the creation of recombinant organisms that have the ability to synthesize tulipalin A, tuliposide A or any tuliposide A pathway intermediates.</p> |
