Abstract excerpt

The MEX1 locus of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was identified in a genetic screen as a factor that affects starch metabolism. Mutation of MEX1 causes a slow-down in the mobilization of storage polysaccharide. Cosegregation and functional complementation analyses were used to assess the involvement of the Mex1 protein in starch degradation. Heterologous expression experiments performed in Escherichia coli and...
