Abstract:
1. An isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having carboxypeptidase activity, selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence which has at least 95% identity with amino acids 19 to 555 of SEQ ID NO. 2; (b) a nucleic acid sequence having at least 95% homology with nucleotides 55 to 1662 of SEQ ID NO. 1; and (c) a nucleic acid sequence which hybridizes under high stringency conditions with nucleotides 55 to 1662 of SEQ ID NO. 1, or its complementary strand, wherein high stringency conditions are defined as prehybridization and hybridization at 42° C. in 5×SSPE, 0.3% SDS, 200 mg/ml sheared and denatured salmon sperm DNA, and 50% formamide.
