Screening a G2 pea cDNA library using this fragment as a probe, we obtained a 2036 bp full-length cDNA. It contains a 1746 bp open reading frame and encodes a protein of 581 amino acids with a theoretical molecular weight of 64 ku. It shares high-level sequenceidentity with AAIR genes from other plant species. This cDNA was cloned into expression vector and recombinant E. coli DH5α cells with remarkable AAIR enzyme activity were obtained.展开更多
