SBP-LRP

Starch-binding protein + Lysine-rich protein (SBP-LRP) gene is composed of a starch-binding protein gene and lysine-rich protein gene. The starch-binding protein gene used in this project is CBM 21, which is derived from the species R. oryzae, a form of fungus that thrives on dead organic matter, including starch containing species. The size of the starch-binding protein gene is 321 bp. The lysine-rich protein gene, ABY71635.1, is a clone derived from the chili pepper species, C. frutescens. The size of the lysine-rich protein gene is 669 bp. The advantage of the starch binding domain in the SBP gene is used to bind rice starch efficiently in combination with the LRP gene. This construct is used to enrich the lysine nutrition in rice.
