Abstract:
An isolated DNA molecule, comprising a nuclcotide sequence selected from the group consisting of:(a) the nuclcotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1, or the complement thereof;(b) a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes to said nuccotide sequence of (a) under a wash stringency equivalent to 0.1.times.SSC, 0.1% SDS, at 55.degree. C., and which encodes a polypeptide having enzymatic activity differing from that of Arabidopsis thaliana plastid pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E1.alpha. subunit by about 30% or less;(c) a nucleotide sequence encoding the same amino acid sequence as said nucleotide sequence of (a), but which is degenerate in accordance with the degeneracy of the genetic code; and(d) a nucleotide sequence encoding the same amino acid sequence as said nucleotide sequence of (b), but which is degenerate in accordance with the degeneracy of the genetic code.
