NCBI Protein Information
debranching enzyme 1
NCBI Summary
Encodes a protein with strong similarity to isoamylase (EC:3.2.1.68) however lacks critical residues known to be important for activity. Appears to co localize with ISA1 in the chloroplast isoamylase complex. Mutations in this gene cause the loss of detectable isoamylase activity and the disruption of normal starch structure. It has been postulated that AtISA2 interacts with AtISA1 to form the Iso1 complex.

UniProt Comments
Involved in the trimming of pre-amylopectin chains. Accelerates the crystallization of nascent amylopectin molecules during starch synthesis. ISA1 and ISA2 work exclusively together as a multimeric holoenzyme. ISA1-ISA2 removes preferentially branches that are very close to other branches.
