Duplications and functional divergence of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase genes in plants.

BMC evolutionary biology - 12 Aug 2008

Georgelis Nikolaos, Braun Edward L, Hannah L Curtis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase), which catalyses a rate limiting step in starch synthesis, is a heterotetramer comprised of two identical large and two identical small subunits in plants. Although the large and small subunits are equally sensitive to activity-altering amino aci...
