Abstract

A mutant prenyl diphosphate synthase having a modified amino acid sequence of prenyl diphosphate synthase, wherein the amino acid residue located at the eighth position in the N-terminal direction from D of the N-terminal of the Asp-rich domain DDXX(XX)D (in the sequence X denotes any amino acid and the two X's in the parentheses may not be present) present in the region II has been substituted by another amino acid, or both of the amino acid residue located at the fifth position in the N-terminal direction from D of the N-terminal and the amino acid residue located at the eighth position in the N-terminal direction from D of the N-terminal have been substituted by other amino acids.
