Abstract:
1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein having fructosyltransferase activity catalyzing the reaction n(G−F)→G−F n +(n−1)G, wherein the nucleic acid sequence is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 2; (b) a nucleic acid sequence comprising the coding region of SEQ ID NO. 1; (c) a nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes to a complementary strand of the nucleic acid sequence of (a) or (b) under conditions of hybridization in 50% formamide, 5×SSC, 5× Denhardt's solution, 40 mM sodium phosphate pH 6.8, 0.5% (w/v) BSA, 1% (w/v) SDS, 0.1 mg/ml herring sperm DNA at 42° C. and washing in 0.5×SSC/0.5% SDS at 60° C.; (d) a nucleic acid sequence which is degenerate due to the genetic code in comparison to the sequence of (c); and (e) a complement of any one of the nucleic acid sequence of (a)-(d).
