Abstract:
1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of: a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 95% identical to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:14 or 16, wherein the nucleic acid molecule encodes a polypeptide having aminotransferase activity; b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a fragment of at least 300 nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:14 or 16, wherein the fragment encodes a polypeptide having aminotransferase activity; c) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which is 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:15, wherein the polypeptide has aminotransferase activity; d) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a fragment of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:15, wherein the fragment comprises at least 200 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:15, wherein the fragment has aminotransferase activity; and e) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a naturally occurring allelic variant of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:15, wherein the nucleic acid molecule hybridizes to a nucleic acid molecule comprising SEQ ID NO:14 or 16, or a complement thereof, under conditions of 0.5M sodium phosphate, 7% SDS at 65° C., followed by one or more washes at 0.2×SSC, 1% SDS at 65° C., wherein the polypeptide variant has aminotransferase activity, or a complement of anyone of a)-e).
