Novel proteins are provided herein, including proteins capable of catalyzing the acetylation of glyphosate and other structurally related proteins. Also provided are novel polynucleotides capable of encoding these proteins, compositions that include one or more of these novel proteins and/or polynucleotides, recombinant cells and transgenic plants comprising these novel compounds, diversification methods involving the novel compounds, and methods of using the compounds. Some of the novel methods and compounds provided herein can be used to render an organism, such as a plant, resistant to glyphosate.
An isolated or recombinant polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that can be optimally aligned with SEQ ID NO:300 to generate a similarity score of at least 460 using the BLOSUM62 matrix, a gap existence penalty of 11, and a gap extension penalty of 1, wherein the polypeptide has glyphosate-N-acetyl transferase activity.
An isolated or recombinant polypeptide having glyphosate-N-acetyltransferase activity, the polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence comprising at least 20 contiguous amino acids of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:300.
A polypeptide having GAT activity characterized by:
