    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a modified protein having an α1,2-fucosyltransferase activity and a method for producing a fucose-containing carbohydrate using the protein or a microorganism having an ability to produce the protein. According to the present invention, a fucose-containing carbohydrate such as 2′-fucosyllactose can be more efficiently produced by using a protein having an α1,2-fucosyltransferase activity and being modified to substitute a specific amino acid residue with another amino acid residue, or a microorganism having the protein or an ability to produce the protein, compared to the case of using a wild-type protein having an α1,2-fucosyltransferase activity, or a microorganism having the protein or an ability to produce the protein.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a protein having dipeptide synthesizing activity with improved substrate specificity, and a method in which the protein or a microorganism having ability to produce the protein is used to efficiently produce a target dipeptide while reducing a by-product dipeptide produced in addition to the target dipeptide. According to the present invention, a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence obtained by substituting, with other amino acid residues, amino acid residues corresponding to one or more amino acid residues selected from the group consisting of amino acid residues at positions 107, 108, and 110 in an amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, or a mutant protein or a homologous protein of a protein consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2 is provided, and a microorganism producing the protein can be used to efficiently produce a dipeptide.
