Patent ID: 8691528

Claim:
An isolated polynucleotide that encodes (i) a peptide having an amino acid sequence: B-X-Z-X-Arg-Z-Tyr-J-X-O 1 -X-Arg-O 2 -X-X or X-X-O 1 -Arg-X-O 2 -X-J-Tyr-Z-Arg-X-Z-X-B; wherein (i) B is arginine or lysine, (ii) at least one of O 1 or O 2 is arginine wherein, when one of O 1 or O 2 is arginine, the remaining O 1 or O 2 is an arbitrarily chosen amino acid, (iii) Z is a hydrophobic amino acid, (iv) J is serine or alanine, and (v) X is an arbitrarily chosen amino acid; (ii) a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence shown by any one of SEQ ID NOS:1 to 34 in the sequence listing wherein one or a plurality of amino acids have been substituted, deleted, added or inserted; (iii) a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence shown by any one of SEQ ID NOS:35 to 47 in the sequence listing wherein one or a plurality of amino acids have been substituted, deleted, added or inserted, and the reversed-chain peptide thereof; or (iv) a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence shown by any one of SEQ ID NOS:1 to 47 in the sequence listing, and the reversed-chain peptide thereof.
