Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein with the biological activity of a starch phosphorylase from maize wherein the nucleic acid molecule comprises a nucleic acid sequence 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 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or a complementary nucleic acid sequence thereof; (c) a nucleic acid sequence which has more than 80% overall sequence identity to the coding region of SEQ ID NO: 1; and (d) a nucleic acid sequence, the nucleotide sequence of which deviates from the sequence of the nucleic acid sequence according to (b) or (c) due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
