Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having lysophospholipase activity, selected from the group consisting of:(a) an isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence which has at least 80% identity with amino acids 38 to 654 of SEQ ID NO:2 or amino acids 17 to 648 of SEQ ID NO: 16; (b) an isolated nucleic acid sequence which hybridizes under medium stringency conditions with (i) nucleotides 214 to 2061 of SEQ ID NO:1 or nucleotides 49 to 1944 of SEQ ID NO:15, (ii) the genomic DNA sequence containing nucleotides 214 to 2061 of SEQ ID NO:1 or nucleotides 49 to 1944 of SEQ ID NO:15, or (iii) a full complementary strand of (i) or (ii); and (c) an isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide fragment of (a) or (b), wherein the fragment has lysophospholipase activity.
