Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a plastidic phosphoglucomutase protein. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a substantial portion of the plastidic phosphoglucomutase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the plastidic phosphoglucomutase in a transformed host cell.
Claims30
An isolated polynucleotide comprising:
- (a) a first nucleotide sequence encoding a first polypeptide having phosphoglucomutase activity, wherein the amino acid sequence of the first polypeptide and the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:8 have at least 95% identity based on the Clustal alignment method,
- (b) a second nucleotide sequence encoding a second polypeptide having phosphoglucomutase activity, wherein the amino acid sequence of the second polypeptide and the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, or SEQ ID NO:10 have at least 85% identity based on the Clustal alignment method, or
- (c) the complement of the first or second nucleotide sequence.
An isolated polypeptide having phosphoglucomutase activity, wherein the polypeptide comprises:
- (a) a first amino acid sequence, wherein the first amino acid sequence and the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:8 have at least 95% identity based on the Clustal alignment method, or
- (b) a second amino acid sequence, wherein the second amino acid sequence and the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, or SEQ ID NO:10 have at least 85% identity based on the Clustal alignment method.
