The present invention relates to an acyl-CoA synthetase homolog protein from microorganisms of the genus Mortierella, a polynucleotide encoding the protein, and so on. The invention provides polynucleotides comprising an acyl-CoA synthetase homolog protein gene from, e.g., Mortierella alpina, expression vectors comprising these polynucleotides and transformants thereof, a method for producing lipids or fatty acids using the transformants, food products containing the lipids or fatty acids produced by the method, etc.
本发明涉及一种来自毛氏菌属微
生物的酰基-CoA 合成酶同源蛋白、编码该蛋白的多核苷酸等。本发明提供了包含酰基-CoA 合成酶同源蛋白
基因的多核苷酸,例如来自阿尔卑斯毛杆菌的酰基-CoA 合成酶同源蛋白
基因、包含这些多核苷酸的表达载体及其转化体、使用转化体生产脂质或
脂肪酸的方法、含有通过该方法生产的脂质或
脂肪酸的食品等。
