ID 86410
Name APL1 (GENE SYMBOL)
Synonyms (6)
GRAMENE GENEGR:0101319
Type Gene
Species Oryza sativa (Oryza sativa) [ GR_tax:013681 ]
Germplasm
Description This gene encodes for the large subunit of enzyme ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase
(AGP). The enzyme regulates starch biosynthesis and catalyzes the reaction ATP +
alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate = diphosphate + ADP-glucose. The mutant (Tos17
insertion) line showed that the subunit is required for AGPase activity in leaf
tissues and reduces the starch content in the leaf sheath only. The APL1 peptide
is localized to the leaf chloroplast. It forms spatiotemporal heterotetramer ADP-
glucose pyrophosphorylase enzyme complex together with small subunits. The APL1
dimer interacts with APS2a form of the APS2 (GR:0101319) dimers to form the
heterotetramer enzyme complex in leaf chloroplast.
