Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Characterisation of an endo-(1,4)-beta-mannanase (LeMAN4) expressed in ripening tomato fruit.
  • LeMAN4 endo-beta-mannanase from ripe tomato fruit can act as a mannan transglycosylase or hydrolase.
  • Recombinant LeMAN4a endo-β-mannanase shows transglycosylase and hydrolase activity in vitro.
  • Additionally, tomato cultivars containing only an inactive endo-β-mannanase isoform (LeMAN4i) appear to ripen and soften in the same manner as cultivars containing an active endo-β-mannanase isoform LeMAN4a.
