Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a tetrahydrofolate metabolic enzyme. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the tetrahydrofolate metabolic enzyme, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the tetrahydrofolate metabolic enzyme in a transformed host cell.
Claims14
An isolated polynucleotide that encodes an aminomethyltransferase polypeptide having a sequence identity of at least 95%, based on the Clustal method of alignment, when compared to a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:26, 28, 30, 32, 64, 66, 68, and 70.
An isolated polynucleotide that encodes an aminomethyltransferase polypeptide having a sequence identity of at least 90%, based on the Clustal method of alignment, when compared to a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:26, 28, 30, 32, 64, 66, and 70.
