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 sequence that has at least 80% 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 is degenerate as a result of the genetic code to the nucleic acid sequence of (a), (b), (c) or (d).
