Nucleotide sequence encoding for bifunctional enzyme for proline production

摘要

The invention is directed to the isolation and identification of a mothbean (Vigna aconitifolia) cDNA clone encoding a bifunctional enzyme, delta1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase, hereinafter P5CS, with both gamma-glutamyl kinase and glutamic-gamma-semialdehyde dehydrogenase activities that catalyzes the first two steps in plant proline production, also called biosynthesis.
