NCBI Protein Information
isoamylase 1
NCBI Summary
Encodes an isoamylase-type debranching enzyme. Mutations in this gene cause the loss of detectable isoamylase activity and the disruption of normal starch structure. Mutants have reduced starch content and abnormally structured amylopectins and phytoglycogens. It has been postulated that AtISA1 interacts with AtISA2 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.
