T he reaction of phosphorylation catalyzed by the glucan w ater dikinase ( GWD ) is a necessary process during the degradation of the transitory starch in plant . In this review , w e summarized the prog ress made on GWD f rom the view of its structure , biological functions and its interactions w ith other enzymes involved in starch metabolism . We also discussed its potential application in starch processing industries to provide environment f riendly methods for starch modification through genetic engineering . Potato GWD gene ( S tG W D) encodes a pro tein of amino acid residues w ith a calculated molecular mass of about ku for the entire coding sequence . From the N terminal to Cterminal of the mature StGWD protein , there is a chloroplast transit peptide domain , tw o carbohydrate
