ISOZYMES OF LACRIMATOR COMPONENT SYNTHASE AND GENE ENCODING THE SAME

摘要

It is intended to provide isozymes of a lacrimator component synthase, amino acid sequences thereof, genes encoding the same, etc. Three isozymes of a lacrimator component synthase participating in the synthesis of a lacrimator component occurring in onion, etc.; the amino acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOS:1 to 3 which are these proteins or polypeptides; DNAs having the base sequences represented by SEQ ID NOS:4 and 5 encoding the above proteins or polypeptides; a process for producing the above isozymes; recombinant vectors containing the above DNAs; transformants transformed by the above recombinant vectors; a process for producing proteins or polypeptides having a lacrimator component synthase activity which comprises culturing the host cells; and antisense RNAs respectively having complementary base sequences to mRNAs corresponding to the above DNAs.
