The present invention provides novel glycosyltransferase proteins produced by ascomycetous filamentous fungi (preferably species belonging to the genus Trichoderma, more preferably Trichoderma viride), as well as genes encoding the same. Among novel enzyme proteins provided by the present invention, particularly preferred is an enzyme protein obtained from the culture supernatant of Trichoderma viride strain IAM5141. The novel enzymes of the present invention allow glycosylation of flavonoid compounds to thereby improve their water solubility.
本发明提供由子囊丝状真菌(最好是属于毛霉属的菌种,更优选病毒毛霉)产生的新型糖基转移酶蛋白,以及编码这些蛋白的
基因。在本发明提供的新型酶蛋白中,特别优选的是从病毒毛霉菌株 I
AM5141 的培养上清液中获得的酶蛋白。本发明的新型酶可以对
黄酮类化合物进行糖基化,从而提高其
水溶性。
