Using an mRNA differential display method, we successfully isolated an acyltransferase-like protein cDNA clone, TS4 (671 bp), specifically expressed in the taxol synthesis phase ofTaxus chinensis cells. Database searches show TS4 has no similarities to published nucleotides. However, the coding sequence of TS4 exhibits significant homologies (33–34% identity, 49–52% similarity) to known acyltransferases...
