Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a sucrose dependent sucrose fructosyltransferase (SST), selected from the group consisting of:(a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 4; (b) a nucleic acid sequence comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or a corresponding ribonucleotide sequence; (c) a nucleic acid sequence comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 or a corresponding ribonucleotide sequence; and (d) a nucleic acid sequence comprising a fragment of the nucleic acid sequence of any one of subsections (a) to (c), said fragment encoding a protein that catalyzes a &bgr;-2,1-glycosidic linkage or &bgr;-2,6-glycosidic linkage between fructose units.
