Mutational analysis of the pullulanase-type debranching enzyme of maize indicates multiple functions in starch metabolism.

The Plant cell - 1 Mar 2003

Dinges Jason R, Colleoni Christophe, James Martha G, Myers Alan M

Abstract excerpt

Plants contain two types of alpha(1-->6) glucan hydrolase (starch-debranching enzyme [DBE]). Mutations that affect the pullulanase-type DBE have not been described, although defects in isoamylase-type DBE, known in many plant species, indicate a function in starch biosynthesis. We describe a null mutation of a pullulanase-type DBE gene, a Mutator insertion in maize Zpu1. Plants homozygous for the zpu1-204...
