| abstract |
A gene encoding a plant fucosyltransferase and a recombinant containing the gene are provided. The DNA sequence comprises a specific base sequence, or a sequence having at least 50% homology with the base sequence, or a sequence that hybridizes to the sequence under stringent conditions, or because of the genetic code. A DNA molecule comprising a degenerate sequence, wherein said DNA molecule encodes a plant protein having fucosyltransferase activity or is complementary thereto. And a vector containing this gene. And a method of transfecting plants and insects and their cells with the above vector to produce a glycoprotein free of α1,3-core-fucose. [Selection figure] None |
