Dreamenol synthase and method for producing dreammenol

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing dreammenol and / or a dreammenol derivative by contacting at least one polypeptide with farnesyl diphosphate. The method may be performed in vitro or in vivo. The invention also provides the amino acid sequences of polypeptides useful in the methods of the invention, and nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides of the invention. The method further provides a host cell or host organism that is genetically modified to express a polypeptide of the invention and is useful for producing dreammenol and / or a dreammenol derivative.
