Abstract:
An isolated polypeptide having galactose oxidase activity, selected from the group consisting of:(a) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence which has at least 75% identity with amino acids 21 to 679 of SEQ ID NO:2;(b) a polypeptide which is encoded by a nucleic acid sequence which hybridizes under medium-high stringency conditions with (i) nucleotides 2342 to 4318 of SEQ ID NO:1, or (ii) the cDNAs sequence contained in nucleotides 2342 to 4318 of SEQ ID NO:1;(c) a polypeptide which is encoded by a nucleic acid sequence which hybridizes under medium stringency conditions with the complementary strand of (i) nucleotides 2342 to 4318 of SEQ ID NO:1 or (ii) the cDNA sequence contained in nucleotides 2342 to 4318 of SEQ ID NO:1;(d) an allelic variant of (a), (b), or (c); and(e) a fragment of (a), (b), (c), or (d) that has galactose oxidase activity.
