TL;DR: This study identified and purified specific isoamylase- and pullulanase-type starch-debranching enzymes (DBEs) present in developing maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm, suggesting that coordinated regulation of ZPU1 and SU1 occurs posttranscriptionally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of SU1 Isoamylase, a Determinant of Storage Starch Structure in Maize
TL;DR: Immunoblot analyses revealed that both SU1 and a protein detected by antibodies specific for the rice (Oryza sativa) R enzyme are missing from su1- mutant kernels, supporting the hypothesis that DBEs are directly involved in starch biosynthesis.
