Abstract:
1. An isolated or purified nucleic acid comprising: (a) a nucleotide sequence which encodes a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence with deletion, substitution or addition of one to ten amino acids in the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:2, which encoded protein has glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activity; (b) a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes under conditions of 2×SSC at 65° C. and washing conditions of 0.2×SSC at 65° C. with a nucleic acid consisting of a nucleotide sequence complementary to a nucleotide sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:4 and which encodes a protein, which encoded protein has glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activity; (c) a nucleotide sequence which consists of a nucleotide sequence sharing an identity of 90% or more with a nucleotide sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:4 and which encodes a protein, which encoded protein has glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activity; (d) a nucleotide sequence which encodes an amino acid sequence sharing an identity of 90% or more with an amino acid sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO:2 and which encodes a protein, which encoded protein has glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activity; or (e) a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes under conditions of 2×SSC at 65° C. and washing conditions of 0.2×SSC at 65° C. with a nucleic acid consisting of a nucleotide sequence complementary to a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:2 and which encodes a protein, which encoded protein has glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activity.
