According to this invention, by introducing genes encoding hexulose-6-phosphate synthase and 6-phosphohexulose isomerase into a plant to have the genes expressed in the chloroplast of the plant, a transgenic plant having a pathway to assimilate formaldehyde through the Calvin cycle is provided. The transgenic plant according to this invention has resistance to formaldehyde and is capable of reducing the level of environmental formaldehyde significantly. Therefore, it is assumed that the transgenic plant according to this invention can be used to purify environmental condition, by placing it in a residence or in an office.

There is provided a single preparation which directly decreases both of the post prandial blood glucose level and the fasting blood glucose level close to normal levels, by release-sustaining a drug capable of decreasing the post prandial blood glucose level of diabetic patients close to the normal level, or mixing a controlled release drug capable of decreasing the post prandial blood glucose level close to the normal level with an immediate release drug. It is particularly preferable that the drug capable of decreasing the post prandial blood glucose level close to the normal level is nateglinide.

Antidiabetic preparation for oral administration

There is provided a single preparation which directly decreases both of the post prandial blood glucose level and the fasting blood glucose level close to normal levels, by release-sustaining a drug capable of decreasing the post prandial blood glucose level of diabetic patients close to the normal level, or mixing a controlled release drug capable of decreasing the post prandial blood glucose level close to the normal level with an immediate release drug. It is particularly preferable that the drug capable of decreasing the post prandial blood glucose level close to the normal level is nateglinide, repaglinide, or mitiglinide (KAD-1229).

Phosphohexuloisomerase and gene therefor

This invention relates to a promoter for dihydroxyacetone synthase gene from ; an expression cassette or vector comprising the promoter and a heterologous gene; a transformant transformed with this vector; and a method for producing an expression product of the heterologous gene which comprises culturing the transformant to express the heterologous gene.

Hexulose phosphate synthase was purified from,to determine an amino acid sequence of the enzyme. Oligonucleotide primers to be used for PCR were synthesized on the basis of obtained amino acid sequence information. A DNA fragment, which was amplified by performing PCR by using a template of genomic DNA prepared from,, was used as a probe so that colony hybridization was carried out with respect to a library comprising fragments obtained by digesting,genomic DNA with PstI to obtain a positive clone. Thus, the DNA fragment which contains ORF encoding hexulose phosphate synthase was obtained. Furthermore, the DNA fragment cloned contained other ORF(ORF-1). The expression system of ORF-1 was constructed (pT-HPIS-1), and it was introduced into,cell. After the induction of the expression of ORF-1, the hexulose phosphate isomerase activity was found in the extract of cells harvoring pT-HPIS-1. Thus, gene, which coded for hexulose phosphate isomerase, was obtained together with ORF which coded for hexulose phosphate synthase.

Hexulose phosphate isomerase gene

The present invention discloses a method for culturing microorganisms having a methanol metabolic pathway in which an expression unit is introduced that comprises a target gene linked downstream from a promoter that can be induced by methanol; wherein, during the culturing period, and including the period during which methanol is continuously or periodically added, the rate of addition is adjusted to a rate equal to or less than the maximum methanol consumption rate of said microorganisms.
