Benefits of technology

The patent text describes methods for producing polyisoprenoids and pneumatic tires using a combination of proteins found in rubber particles. These methods involve binding the proteins to rubber particles to stabilize and enhance their activity, resulting in increased rubber synthesis. The use of these methods can lead to more efficient rubber production in reaction vessels and can result in the use of plant resources effectively to produce environmentally friendly pneumatic tires and rubber products.

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, Hevea brasiliensis requires about seven years from planting to mature enough for rubber extraction, and the period during which natural rubber can be extracted is limited to 20 to 30 years.
Although more natural rubber is expected to be demanded mainly by developing countries in years to come, for the reason mentioned above it is difficult to greatly increase the production of natural rubber using Hevea brasiliensis.
However, the associations between these proteins and CPT are not completely understood.

Extraction of Total RNA from Hevea Latex

[0245]Total RNA was extracted from the latex of Hevea brasiliensis by the hot phenol method. To 6 mL of the latex were added 6 mL of 100 mM sodium acetate buffer and 1 mL of a 10% SDS solution, and then 12 mL of water-saturated phenol pre-heated at 65° C. The mixture was incubated for 5 minutes at 65° C., agitated in a vortex, and centrifuged at 7000 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature. After the centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred to a new tube, 12 mL of a phenol:chloroform (1:1) solution was added, and the mixture was agitated by shaking for 2 minutes. After the agitation, the resulting mixture was centrifuged again at 7000 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature, the supernatant was transferred to a new tube, 12 mL of a chloroform:isoamyl alcohol (24:1) solution was added, and the mixture was agitated by shaking for 2 minutes. After the agitation, the resulting mixture was centrifuged again at 7000 rpm for 10 minutes at room t...

Abstract

Provided is a method for producing a polyisoprenoid, which can increase natural rubber production by enhancing the rubber synthesis activity of rubber particles. The present invention provides methods for producing a polyisoprenoid using a gene coding for a cis-prenyltransferase (CPT) family protein, a gene coding for a Nogo-B receptor (NgBR) family protein and a gene coding for a rubber elongation factor (REF) family protein, specifically a method for producing a polyisoprenoid in vitro using rubber particles bound to proteins coded for by these genes, and a method for producing a polyisoprenoid in vivo using a recombinant organism (plant) having these genes introduced therein.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a method for producing a polyisoprenoid, a transformed plant, a method for producing a pneumatic tire, and a method for producing a rubber product.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Nowadays natural rubber (one example of polyisoprenoids) for use in industrial rubber products are obtained by cultivating rubber-producing plants, such as para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae, or Indian rubber tree (Ficus elastica) belonging to the family Moraceae, to biosynthesize natural rubber by the lactiferous cells of the plants, and harvesting the natural rubber by hand from the plants.[0003]At present, Hevea brasiliensis is practically the only one source of natural rubber for industrial rubber products. Hevea brasiliensis is a plant that can grow only in limited areas such as in Southeast Asia and South America. Conventionally, natural rubber production has been increased by applying ethephon or methyl jasmonate to He...
