Abstract:Background
Neoporphyra haitanensis is a commercial laver species in China. Aspartic acid is an important flavor amino acid, and aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) is a crucial enzyme in its biosynthesis. In this study, we cloned one AAT gene (NhAAT) from the red alga N. haitanensis and investigated its sequence structure, transcriptional expression and enzymatic characteristics. The purpose of our research is to obtain a functional AAT responsible for the biosynthesis of aspartic acid from red se… Show more
