Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having galactose oxidase activity, selected from the group consisting of:(a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence which has at least 70% identity with amino acids 21 to 679 of SEQ ID NO:2;(b) a nucleic acid sequence having at least 70% homology with nucleotides 61 to 2037 of SEQ ID NO:1;(c) a nucleic acid sequence which hybridizes under medium-high stringency conditions with (i) nucleotides 61 to 2037 of SEQ ID NO:1, (ii) the cDNA sequence contained in nucleotides 61 to 2037 of SEQ ID NO:1, (iii) a subsequence of (i) or (ii) of at least 100 nucleotides, or (iv) a complementary strand of (i), (ii), or (iii); and(d) a subsequence of (a), (b), or (c), wherein the subsequence encodes a polypeptide fragment which has galactose oxidase activity.
