Glyphosate-N-Acteyltransferase
EN
Glyphosate-N-acetyltransferase expression in genetically modified plants may lead to detoxification of the glyphosate agent. This is brought about by the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl CoA to the secondary amine group of glyphosate.
The resulting N-acetylglyphosate does not have the ability to inhibit the activity of the EPSPS enzyme, and the genetically modified plants are able to grow despite glyphosate treatment.

Two modified versions of the GAT gene were developed using a DNA shuffling technique using the GAT coding sequences from 3 separate strains of B. licheniformis (Strains B6, 401 and DS3).
The two versions are known as GAT4621 and GAT4601.
