Abstract
Nucleic acid molecules encoding debranching enzymes from maize Nucleic acid molecules are described, which encode debranching enzymes from maize, as well as transgenic plant cells and plants in which an amylopectin with modified properties is synthesized due to the expression of a debranching enzyme from maize or due to the inhibition of such an endogeneous debranching enzyme activity.
Claims21
A nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein from Zea mays with the biological activity of a debranching enzyme, selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) nucleic acid molecules encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- (b) nucleic acid molecules containing the nucleotide sequence depicted under SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- (c) nucleic acid molecules hybridizing to a nucleic acid molecule of (a) or (b);
- and
- (d) nucleic acid molecules the nucleotide sequence of which deviates from the nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid molecule of (a), (b) or (c) due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
