Patent ID: 8431381

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid comprising any one of (a) to (f) below: (a) a nucleotide sequence encoding SEQ ID NO: 11 or SEQ ID NO: 12; (b) a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein comprising SEQ ID NO: 11 or SEQ ID NO: 12 except that 1 to 30 amino acids have been deleted, substituted, or added, and having ATP:citrate lyase activity; (c) a nucleotide sequence which is hybridizable under hybridization conditions comprising 2×SSC at 50° C. with the nucleotide sequence complementary to SEQ ID NO: 9 or SEQ ID NO: 10 and which encodes a protein having ATP:citrate lyase activity; (d) a nucleotide sequence sharing an identity of 75% or more with SEQ ID NO: 9 or SEQ ID NO: 10 and encoding a protein having ATP:citrate lyase activity; (e) a nucleotide sequence which encodes an amino acid sequence sharing an identity of 75% or more with SEQ ID NO: 11 or SEQ ID NO: 12 and having ATP:citrate lyase activity; or (f) a nucleotide sequence which is hybridizable under hybridization conditions comprising 2×SSC at 50° C. with the nucleotide sequence complementary to a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein comprising SEQ ID NO: 11 or 12 and having ATP:citrate lyase activity.
