Abstract:
An isolated polynucleotide which encodes a polypeptide capable of deamidating amido groups in proteins without cutting peptide bonds and without cross-linking said proteins, wherein said polynucleotide comprises a polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of:(a) a polynucleotide which encodes a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:6, (b) a polynucleotide which has the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:5, (c) a polynucleotide which hybridizes under stringent conditions with a polynucleotide which has the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:5, (d) a cDNA or genomic DNA which hybridizes, under stringent conditions, with a polynucleotide which has the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:5, (e) a polynucleotide which is degenerate with respect to a polynucleotide which has the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:5.
