Functional characterisation of a predicted chloroplastic plant protein phosphatase

The phosphatase AtPTPKISI is involved in the control of starch metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves at night. The SEX4 (Starch Excess 4) mutants, lacking this predicted phosphatase, have strongly reduced rates of starch metabolism. It is shown that this chloroplastic protein can bind to glucans...
