Abstract:
1. An isolated polynucleotide encoding a protein having cellulose binding activity which is: (a) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is complementary to a sequence which encodes a CIP1 polypeptide having at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence presented as SEQ ID NO:5; (b) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is complementary to a sequence which encodes a CIP1 polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence presented as SEQ ID NO:5; (c) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is complementary to a sequence which encodes a CIP1 polypeptide having at least 98% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence presented as SEQ ID NO:5; (d) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is complementary to a sequence which encodes a CIP1 polypeptide having the amino acid sequence presented as SEQ ID NO:5; (e) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is complementary to a sequence which encodes a CIP1 polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence presented as SEQ ID NO:3; (f) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is complementary to a sequence which encodes a CIP1 polypeptide having at least 98% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence presented as SEQ ID NO:3; (g) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is complementary to a sequence which encodes a CIP1 polypeptide having the amino acid sequence presented as SEQ ID NO:3; (h) a nucleic acid sequence presented as SEQ ID NO:2, or the complement thereof, wherein % identity is calculated using the CLUSTAL-W program in MacVector version 6.5, operated with default parameters, including an open gap penalty of 10.0, an extended gap penalty of 0.1, and a BLOSUM 30 similarity matrix; or (i) a nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes, under high stringency conditions to the sequence presented as SEQ ID NO:2, or the complement or a fragment thereof, wherein hybridization is conducted at 42° C. in 50% formamide, 6×SSC, 5×Denhardt's solution, 0.5% SDS and 100 μg/ml denatured carrier DNA followed by washing two times in 2×SSPE and 0.5% SDS at room temperature and two additional times in 0.1 SSPE and 0.5% SDS at 42° C.
