Abstract:
1. An isolated polynucleotide comprising any one of the following nucleotide sequences: (i) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polyamino acid synthetase consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; (ii) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polyamino acid synthetase consisting of an amino acid sequence having at least 90% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein said polyamino acid synthetase polymerizes an amino acid in the presence of divalent cations including Mg (iii) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (iv) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polyamino acid synthetase, which can hybridize to a nucleotide sequence complementary to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 under highly stringent hybridization conditions (5 SSC; 5 Denhart solution; 0.5% (w/v) SDS; 50% (w/v) formamide; and 50° C.); and (v) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polyamino acid synthetase, which has at least 95% identity to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.
