摘要:
This disclosure provides the nucleic acid and protein sequences of novel P450 oxygenases that utilize, at least, taxoid substrates, including taxadiene isomers. The disclosed oxygenases, such as a taxoid 5α-hydroxylase, hydroxylate, at least, the C5 position of a taxoid. Also provided are methods of introducing oxygen at the C5 position of a taxoid and methods of producing the anti-cancer drug, paclitaxel (also known as Taxol™), and other taxoids, such as paclitaxel intermediates.
摘要:
A cDNA encoding geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase from Canadian Yew (Taxus canadensis) has been isolated and sequenced, and the corresponding amino acid sequence has been determined. Accordingly, an isolated DNA sequence (SEQ ID NO:1) is provided which codes for the expression of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (SEQ ID NO:2), from Canadian Yew (Taxus canadensis). In other aspects, replicable recombinant cloning vehicles are provided which code for geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase, or for a base sequence sufficiently complementary to at least a portion of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase DNA or RNA to enable hybridization therewith. In yet other aspects, modified host cells are provided that have been transformed, transfected, infected and/or injected with a recombinant cloning vehicle and/or DNA sequence encoding geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase. Thus, systems and methods are provided for the recombinant expression of the aforementioned recombinant geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase that may be used to facilitate its production, isolation and purification in significant amounts. Recombinant geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase may be used to obtain expression or enhanced expression of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase in plants in order to enhance the production of geranylgeranyl diphosphate, or diterpenes derived therefrom, or may be otherwise employed for the regulation or expression of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase, or the production of its products.
