Abstract:
1. An isolated polypeptide selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; (b) a polypeptide comprising a polypeptide sequence having at least 95% identity along its entire length to the polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2; (c) a polypeptide comprising a polypeptide sequence which is encoded by a polynucleotide which hybridizes to the complete complement of SEQ ID NO:1 under stringent hybridization conditions comprising overnight incubation at 42° C. in a solution comprising 50% formamide, 5×SSC (150 mM NaCl, 15 mM trisodium citrate), 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH7.6), 5×Denhardt's solution, 10% dextran sulphate, and 20 microgram/ml denatured, sheared salmon sperm DNA; followed by washing the filters in 0.1×SSC at 65° C.; and (d) the polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 wherein each polypeptide of (a)–(d) possesses N-terminal acetyltransferase activity.
