Expression in yeast and tobacco of plant cDNAs encoding acyl CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase.

Abstract excerpt

During the course of a search for cDNAs encoding plant sterol acyltransferases, an expressed sequence tag clone presenting substantial identity with yeast and animal acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferases was used to screen cDNA libraries from Arabidopsis and tobacco. This resulted in the isolation of two full-length cDNAs encoding proteins of 520 and 532 amino acids, respectively. Attempts to complement the yeast...
