Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a first polynucleotide sequence 95% or more identical to a second polynucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of:(a) a polynucleotide sequence encoding amino acids -26 to 233 of SEQ ID NO:2;(b) a polynucleotide sequence encoding amino acids -25 to 233 of SEQ ID NO:2;(c) a polynucleotide sequence encoding amino acids 1 to 233 of SEQ ID NO:2; and(d) a polynucleotide sequence complementary to any of the polynucleotide sequences in (a), (b) or (c) above;wherein percentage identity is determined using the BESTFIT program with parameters that calculate identity over the full length of the second polynucleotide sequence and that allows gaps of up to 5% of the total number of nucleotides of said nucleotide sequence.
