Abstract
We have cloned an Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA encoding serine acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.30) by functional complementation of the Escherichia coli cysE mutant JM15. The cDNA clone Sat-1 conferred serine acetyltransferase activity (with apparent Km for the two substrates acetyl CoA and L-serine of 0.043 and 3.47 mmol/dm3 respectively) on the cysE mutant. The 1515 bp full-length cDNA encodes a deduced protein of 391 amino acids which includes a putative chloroplastic targeting presequence. Northern analysis revealed a single message of 1.5 kb, while Southern hybridisation suggests a small multigene family of related sequences.Entities:
