Gene |
Gene Source |
Product |
Described Function |
2mepsps |
Zea mays |
5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase enzyme (double mutant version) |
decreases binding affinity for glyphosate, thereby increasing tolerance to glyphosate herbicide |
aad* |
Escherichia coli |
3''(9)-O-aminoglycoside adenylyltransferase enzyme |
allows selection for resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics such as spectinomycin and streptomycin |
aad-1 |
synthetic form of the aad-1 gene fromSphingobium herbicidovorans |
aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase 1 (AAD-1) protein |
detoxifies 2,4-D herbicide by side-chain degradation and degrades the R-enantiomers of aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides |
aad-12 |
Delftia acidovorans |
aryloxyalkanoate di-oxygenase 12 (AAD-12) protein |
catalyzes the side chain degradation of 2,4-D herbicide |
amy797E |
synthetic gene derived from Thermococcales spp. |
thermostable alpha-amylase enzyme |
enhances bioethanol production by increasing the thermostability of amylase used in degrading starch |
aph4 (hpt)* |
Escherichia coli |
hygromycin-B phosphotransferase (hph) enzyme |
allows selection for resistance to the antibiotic hygromycin B |
bar |
Streptomyces hygroscopicus |
phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme |
eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation |
barnase |
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens |
barnase ribonuclease (RNAse) enzyme |
