Abstract:
A protein produced according to a process which comprises the steps of:(a) growing a culture of a cell in a suitable culture medium, wherein the cell is transformed with a polynucleotide operably linked to at least one expression vector sequence, wherein the polynucleotide is selected from the group consisting of:(aa) a polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:3 from nucleotide 85 to nucleotide 519;(ab) a polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:3 from nucleotide 124 to nucleotide 519;(ac) a polynucleotide encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4;(ad) a polynucleotide encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4 from amino acid 14 to amino acid 145;(ae) a polynucleotide encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4 from amino acid 124 to amino acid 134; and(af) a polynucleotide comprising a fragment of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4, the fragment comprising the amino acid sequence from amino acid 124 to amino acid 134; and(b) purifying the protein encoded by said polynucleotide from the culture.
