The present invention relates to novel isoprene synthase derived from sweet potato and a process for producing isoprene using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel isoprene synthase derived from sweet potato, a polynucleotide encoding the isoprene synthase, a host cell transformed with the polynucleotide, And a process for producing isoprene using the same. Since the isoprene synthase of the present invention has a higher isoprene production ability than isoprene synthase known in the art, it can be usefully used for isoprene biosynthesis and isoprene polymer production using the isoprene synthase. |
