Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of:a) the nucleotide scquence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1; b) the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:3; c) the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with ATCC as Patent Deposit No. PTA-3424; d) a nucleotide sequence having at least 97% sequence identity with the nucicotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 wherein said nucleotide sequence having at least 97% sequence identity with the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 encodes a polypeptide having aldehyde dehydrogenase activity; e) a nucleotide sequence having at least 97% sequence identity with the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:3 wherein said nucleotide sequence having at least 97% sequence identity with the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:3 encodes a polypeptide having aidehyde dehydrogenase activity; f) a nucleotide sequence having at least 97% sequence identity with the cDNA insert of the plasraid deposited with ATCC as Patent Deposit No. PTA-3424 wherein said nucleotide sequence encodes a polypeptide having aldehyde dehydrogenase activity; g) the nucleotide sequence of a fragment of the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, wherein said fragnieiit comprises at least 300 contiguous nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 and encodes a polypeptide having aldehyde dehydrogenase activity; h) the nucleotide sequence of a fagment of the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:3, wherein said fragment comprises at least 300 contiguous nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:3 and encodes a polypeptide having aldehyde dehydrogenase activity; i) the nucleotide sequence of a fragment of the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with ATCC as Patent Deposit No. PTA-3424, wherein said fragment comprises at least 300 contiguous nucleotides of the cDNA insert of the plusmid deposited with ATCC as Patent Deposit No. PTA-3424 and encodes a polypeptide having aidehyde dehydrogenase activity; j) a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2; k) a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with ATCC as Patent Deposit No. PTA-3424, l) a nucleotide sequence encoding a fragment of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ TD NO:2, wherein the fragment comprises at least 50 contiguous amilo acids of SEQ ID NO:2 and the fragment has aldchyde dehydrogenase activity; m) a nucleotide sequence encoding a fragment of the amino acid sequence encoded by the eDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with ATCC as Patent Deposit No. PTA-3424, wherein the fragment comprises at least 50 contiguous amino acids of the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with ATCC as Patent Deposit No. PTA-3424 and the fragment has aldehyde dehydrogenase activity; and n) a nucleotide sequence completely complementary to at least one nucleotide sequence of a), b), c), d), e), f), g), h), i), j), k), l), or m).
