Abstract excerpt
The 3-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III (KAS III) is a condensing enzyme catalyzing the initial step of fatty acid biosynthesis. We isolated two KAS III cDNA isoforms (PfKAS3a and PfKAS3b) from a cDNA library specific to Perilla frutescens immature seeds. Two cDNAs coded for 401 and 400 amino acids, respectively, which showed high degree of sequence similarity to corresponding enzymes from various...
