摘要:
The present invention provides a method of producing α-santalene by contacting at least one polypeptide with farnesyl phyrophosphate (fpp). In particular, the method may be carried out in vitro or in vivo to produce α-santalene, a very useful compound in the fields of perfumery and flavoring. The present invention also provides the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide useful in the method of the invention. A nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide of the invention and an expression vector containing the nucleic acid represent part of the present invention. A non-human host organism and a cell transformed to be used in the method of producing α-santalene are also part of the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a microorganism capable of producing a terpene of choice. The microorganism expresses a heterologous pathway for the formation of isoprene units and, preferably, a heterologous terpene synthase. In this way, high amounts of terpene can be isolated from the medium of the microorganism.

The present invention provides a method of producing sclareol, said method comprising contacting a particular polypeptide having a sclareol synthase activity with labdenediol diphosphate (LPP). In particular, said method may be carried out in vitro or in vivo to produce sclareol, a very useful compound in the fields of perfumery and flavoring. The present invention also provides the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide used in the method. A nucleic acid derived from Salvia sclarea and encoding the polypeptide of the invention, an expression vector containing said nucleic acid, as well as a non-human host organism or a cell transformed to harbor the same nucleic acid, are also part of the present invention.

The present invention relates to plant expressing transgenes and to plants transformed to comprise additional copies of genes, said genes encoding at least a HMGR-CoA reductase and a terpene synthase. The invention further claims methods for preparing the plants, and a method for producing terpenes. The present thus provides a reliable and cost effective platform for generating any terpene, in particular any mono- and/or sesquiterpene of interest. For example, the skilled person may use any gene encoding a sesquiterpene synthase for accumulating the respective sesquiterpene in the plant of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a recombinant non-yeast DNA, which encodes a protein of interest, wherein an unmodified DNA corresponding to the recombinant non-yeast DNA contains a region having a high content of codons that are poorly suited to yeasts, wherein a number of the codons that are poorly suited to yeasts are replaced in said region of the recombinant non-yeast DNA with synonymous codons coding for the same amino acid that are well-suited to yeasts, and wherein the number of replaced codons is sufficient to permit expression in yeasts. The present invention also relates to DNA sequences which originate from dicotyledonous or monocotyledonous plants, and in particular plants of the graminae family which are selected from among wheat, barley, oats, rice, maize, sorghum and cane sugar, as well as to vectors and transformed yeasts which contain the DNA sequences of the invention.

The invention relates to sesquiterpene synthases from Patchouli plants (Pogostemon cablin), and methods of their production and use. In one embodiment, the invention provides nucleic acids comprising a nucleotide sequence as described herein that encodes for at least one sesquiterpene synthase. In a further embodiment, the invention also provides for sesquiterpene synthases and methods of making and using these enzymes. For example, sesquiterpene synthases of the invention may be used to convert farnesyl-pyrophosphate to various sesquiterpenes including patchoulol, γ-curcumene and other germacrane-type sesquiterpenes.
