Abstract:
1. An isolated nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide at least 95% homologous to SEQ ID NO: 6 with homology determined using the BestFit software of the Wisconsin sequence analysis package, utilizing the Smith and Waterman algorithm, where the gap creation equals 8 and gap extension penalty equals 2, wherein said polypeptide has alkaline α-galactosidase activity and wherein said polypeptide includes the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 4; and wherein said polypeptide is characterized by at least one tryptophan residue 30 to 34 amino acids upstream of the aspartic acid-aspartic acid residues of an aspartic acid-aspartic acid-(glycine/cysteine)-tryptophan motif.
