Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a tyrosine biosynthetic enzyme. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the tyrosine biosynthetic enzyme, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the tyrosine biosynthetic enzyme in a transformed host cell.
Claims14
An isolated polynucleotide comprising:
- (a) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having chorismate mutase activity, wherein the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide and the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:16 have at least 80% sequence identity based on the Clustal pairwise alignment method with default parameters of KTUPLE=1 GAP PENALTY=3, WINDOW=5 and DIAGONALS SAVED=5, or
- (b) the complement of the nucleotide sequence, wherein the complement and the nucleotide sequence contain the same number of nucleotides and are 100% complementary.
