Here we reported for the first time the cloning of a new full-length cDNA encoding GGPPS from the living fossil plant Ginkgo biloba. The full-length cDNA encoding G. biloba GGPPS (designated as GbGGPPS) was 1657bp long and contained a 1176bp open reading frame encoding a 391 amino acid protein. Comparative analysis showed that GbGGPPS possessed a 79 amino acid transit peptide at its N-terminal, which directed GbGGPPS to target to the plastids. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that GbGGPPS was a member of polyprenyltransferases with two highly conserved aspartate-rich motifs like other plant GGPPSs. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that plant GGPPSs could be classified into two groups, angiosperm and gymnosperm GGPPSs, while GbGGPPS had closer relationship with gymnosperm plant GGPPSs.","lang":"eng"}],"date_published":"2004-01-01T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","oa_version":"None","volume":15,"publisher":"Informa UK Limited","date_updated":"2023-05-08T10:58:29Z","scopus_import":"1","acknowledgement":"This study was financially supported by China National High-Tech “863” Program.
