Abstract excerpt
The potato cDNAs Solanum tuberosum isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (St-IVD1 and St-IVD2) encode proteins that are 84% identical to each other and 65 and 64% identical to human IVD, respectively. St-IVD2 protein was previously partially purified from potato tubers and confirmed to be an IVD. The function of St-IVD1 is unknown. In these experiments, both proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli and...
