MUTEIN, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAID MUTEIN, GENE ENCODING SAID MUTEIN, RECOMBINANT VECTOR AND PLANT BEARING SAID GENE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AMOUNT OF MEVALONIC ACID PRODUCED AND AMOUNT OF ISOPRENOID PRODUCED, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING 3-HYDROXY-3-METHYLGLUTARYL-COA REDUCTASE ACTIVITY
Provided is a mutein having mutations of specific amino acid residues of HMGR, which is a rate-limiting enzyme of isoprene monomer biosynthesis in the polyisoprenoid biosynthetic pathway. The present invention relates to a mutein in which at least one amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of positions 91, 225, 257, 287, 339, 411, 470, 509, and 574 and amino acid residues of positions corresponding to these in Arabidopsis thaliana 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase shown by SEQ ID NO: 1 have been deleted or substituted by another amino acid residue in 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase.
