Abstract
The present invention provides novel plastid transit peptides that direct localization of attached moieties (e.g., polypeptides) into plant plastids. The present invention also relates to methods and compositions for localizing polypeptides to plant plastids including, but not limited to, transgenic plant production.
Claims11
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of:
- a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes SEQ ID NO:
- 40;
- b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 95% identical to the nucleic acid molecule that encodes SEQ ID NO:
- 40;
- c) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a peptide that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 40;
- d) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes with a nucleic acid probe consisting of the complementary nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid molecule that encodes SEQ ID NO:
- 40, wherein hybridization conditions comprise two washes in 0.2×SSC at 65° C. for 20 minutes each;
- and e) a fragment comprising at least 90% of the consecutive nucleotides of a nucleic acid molecule that encodes SEQ ID NO:
- 40.
