Abstract

Provided herein are a method for selecting a gene participating in the desired brewing character and compiling a database of the whole genome sequence of industrial yeast; identifying a gene participating in a brewing characteristic from the database; functional analysis of the gene; and a DNA array of the whole genome sequences of an industrial yeast. Also provided are a method for yeast breeding; a method of producing an alcoholic beverage with improved quality; and a screening method to identify genes that increase productivity and/or improve flavor in the production of an alcohol or an alcoholic beverage by (A) analyzing a whole industrial yeast genome sequence, (B) comparing the genome sequence with the genome sequence of S. cerevisiae , (C) selecting a gene of the industrial yeast encoding having 70 to 97% identity to an amino acid sequence of S. cerevisiae ; and (D) analyzing the selected gene.

Claims (8)

1. An isolated polypeptide comprising:

(a) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; or,

(b) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence, wherein in one to 20 amino acid residues are deleted, substituted, added, or a combination thereof, in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.

2. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide consists of SEQ ID NO: 3.

3. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 , comprising a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence, wherein one to 10 amino acid residues are deleted, substituted, added, or a combination thereof, in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.

4. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 , comprising a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence, wherein one to 5 amino acid residues are deleted, substituted, added, or a combination thereof, in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.

5. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 , comprising a polypeptide having 80% or more of identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.

6. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 , comprising a polypeptide having 95% or more of identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.
