Patent ID: 7202075

Claim:
An isolated protein having hydroxynitrile lyase activity selected from the group consisting of: (1) a protein having hydroxynitrile lyase activity comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 20; (2) a protein having hydroxynitrile lyase activity encoded by a nucleotide sequence having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19; (3) a protein having hydroxynitrile lyase activity encoded by a nucleotide sequence having at least 85% identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19; (4) a protein having hydroxynitrile lyase activity encoded by a nucleotide sequence having the nucleic acid sequence from nucleotide 13 to nucleotide 2151 of SEQ ID NO: 19; and (5) a protein having hydroxynitrile lyase activity encoded by a nucleotide sequence having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19 without the intron regions of nucleotides 116 to nucleotide 257, nucleotide 918 to nucleotide 1120, or nucleotide 1962 to nucleotide 2077.
