Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid encoding &bgr;-glucuronidase (GUS), said isolated nucleic acid selected from the group consisting of:(a) a DNA having the nucleotide sequence given herein as SEQ ID NO:1; (b) a polynucleotide that hybridizes to the DNA of (a) above under stringent conditions represented by a wash stringency of 50% Formamide with 5Ã—Denhardt's solution, 0.5% SDS and 1Ã—SSPE at 42Â° C., and which encodes a &bgr;-glucuronidase (GUS) protein; and (c) a polynucleotide that differs from the DNA of (a) or the polynucleotide of (b) above due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, and which encodes the protein encoded by the DNA of (a) or the polynucleotide of (b) above.
