Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to a novel class of plant enzymes, thioesterases having preferential hydrolase activity toward one or more medium-chain acyl-ACP substrates. Purification, especially the removal of substantially all other plant proteins, and use of the plant thioesterase is provided, including the use of the protein as a tool in gene isolation for biotechnological applications and a description of various uses for such nucleic acid sequences thereto. The enzyme is preferrably obtained from Umbellularia californica and has preferential hydrolase activity toward C12 acyl-ACP substrate.
