Functional Interactions between Heterologously Expressed Starch-Branching Enzymes of Maize and the Glycogen Synthases of Brewer's Yeast1

Starch-branching enzymes (SBEs) catalyze the formation of a(1->6) glycoside bonds in glucan polymers, thus, affecting the structure of amylopectin and starch granules. Two distinct classes of SBE are generally conserved in higher plants, although the specific roles) of each isoform in determination of starch structure is not clearly understood. Th...
