Patent ID: 7264954

Claim:
An isolated lipoxygenase which is: a) a polypeptide encoded by the DNA sequence cloned into plasmid pUC19 present in Escherichia coli deposited as DSM 14139, b) a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of the mature peptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, c) a polypeptide which has at least 95% homology with the polypeptide of a) or b), or d) a polypeptide encoded by DNA capable of hybridizing under high stringency conditions comprising washing in 2×SSC, 0.5% SDS at 65° C. to a complementary strand of i) the DNA sequence cloned into plasmid pUC19 present in Escherichia coli deposited as DSM 14139 or ii) the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 encoding the mature polypeptide.
