additional information | recombinant HRT2, expressed in Escherichia coli, is significantly activated in the presence of a centrifuged latex fraction, resulting in the formation of polyisoprenes corresponding to natural rubber, but the recombinant HRT2 does not exhibit significant activity independently. HRT1/HRT2 require additional cofactors from the eukaryotic cells to produce distinct cPT activity, which seem to be contained in latex species | Hevea brasiliensis |

additional information | recombinant HRT2 and HRT1 show distinct cPT activity producing polyisoprenoids with chain-lengths of C80-100, although failing to catalyze the formation of natural rubber. Recombinant HRT2, expressed in Escherichia coli, is significantly activated in the presence of a centrifuged latex fraction, resulting in the formation of polyisoprenes corresponding to natural rubber, but the recombinant HRT2 does not exhibit significant activity independently. The chain lengths of the HRT1/HRT2 products are not altered by the addition of centrifuged latex fractions, and the HRT1/HRT2 expressed in yeast compete with the rubber transferase activity of the latex fraction. Recombinantly produced polyprenyl products are apparently smaller than natural rubber molecular weight range | Hevea brasiliensis | ? | - |
