Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein with the enzymatic activity of a debranching enzyme, wherein the nucleic acid sequence is selected from the group consisting of:(a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2;(b) a nucleic acid sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 1;(c) a nucleic acid molecule that has more than 90% sequence identity to the coding region of (a) or (b);(d) a fragment of the nucleic acid sequence of (a), (b) or (c), wherein the fragment encodes a protein which has the enzymatic activity of a debranching enzyme; and(e) a nucleic acid sequence that deviates from (a), (b), (c) or (d) due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
