Abstract excerpt
The higher plant ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase is a heterotetramer consisting of two subunit types, which have evolved at different rates from a common ancestral gene. The potato tuber small subunit (SS) displays both catalytic and regulatory properties, whereas the exact role of the large subunit (LS), which contains substrate and effector binding sites, remains unresolved. We identified a mutation, S302N, which...
