Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a UDP-galactose 4-epimerase. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the UDP-galactose 4-epimerase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the UDP-galactose 4-epimerase in a transformed host cell.
Claims10
An isolated polynucleotide comprising:
- (a) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having UDP-galactose 4-epimerase activity, wherein the polypeptide has an amino acid sequence of at least 95% sequence identity, based on the Clustal V method of alignment, when compared to SEQ ID NO:20;
- or
- (b) a full-length complement of the nucleotide sequence of (a).
