Abstract
This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for targeting peptides, polypeptides, and proteins to plastids of plastid-containing cells. In some embodiments, the disclosure concerns chloroplast transit peptides that may direct a polypeptide to a plastid, and nucleic acid molecules encoding the same. In some embodiments, the disclosure concerns methods for producing a transgenic plant material (e.g., a transgenic plant) comprising a chloroplast transit peptide, as well as plant materials produced by such methods, and plant commodity products produced therefrom.
Claims36
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising:
- a first nucleotide sequence that encodes a peptide that is at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO:6 or SEQ ID NO:8;
- and
- a heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding a peptide of interest that is operably linked to the first nucleotide sequence.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
