CORYNEBACTERIUM GLUTAMICUM GENES ENCODING PROTEINS INVOLVED IN MEMBRANE SYNTHESIS AND MEMBRANE TRANSPORT

摘要

Isolated nucleic acid molecules, designated MCT nucleic acid molecules, whic h encode novel MCT proteins from Corynebacterium glutamicum are described. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing MCT nucleic acid molecules, and host cells int o which the expression vectors have been introduced. The invention still furth er provides isolated MCT proteins, mutated MCT proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and methods for the improvement of production of a desire d compound from C. glutamicum based on genetic engineering of MCT genes in thi s organism.
