Patent ID: 7060476

Claim:
A method for identifying a compound which binds to an isolated polypeptide selected from the group consisting of: a) a polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, or the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert in the plasmid deposited with ATCC as Patent Deposit Number PTA-2011, wherein said polypeptide has phosphatidyl-glycerolphosphate synthase activity; and b) a polypeptide which is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said polypeptide has phosphatidyl-glycerolphesphate synthase activity; wherein said method comprises: i) contacting a test compound with said isolated polypeptide or a cell expressing said isolated polypeptide; and ii) determining whether said test compound binds to said polypeptide, thereby identifying a compound which binds to the polypeptide.
