Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase in a transformed host cell.
Claims12
An isolated polynucleotide comprising:
- (a) a nucleotide sequence encoding an isoleucyl-tRNA synthase, wherein the amino acid sequence of the synthase and the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:6, or SEQ ID NO:8 have at least 80% identity based on the Clustal alignment method, or
- (b) the complement of the nucleotide sequence.
