Abstract:
1. A method for producing a branching enzyme protein from a bacterium of the genus Neisseria , wherein the protein is produced in an in-vitro transcription and translation system using a nucleic acid molecule encoding a branching enzyme protein from a bacterium of the genus Neisseria selected from the group consisting of (a) a nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein which comprises the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO. 2; (b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising the coding region depicted in SEQ ID NO. 1; (c) a nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein which comprises the amino acid sequence encoded by the insert in plasmid DSM 12425; and (d) a nucleic acid molecule comprising the coding region for a branching enzyme, which is contained in the insert of the plasmid DSM 12425; (e) a nucleic acid molecule having more than 95% identity with SEQ ID NO:1; and (f) a nucleic acid molecule the sequence of which deviates from the sequence of a nucleic acid molecule of (e) due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
