Patent ID: 7205453

Claim:
An isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleic acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 11; (b) a nucleotide sequence that encodes a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 12; (c) a nucleic acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity over the entire length of SEQ ID NO: 11 as determined by the GAP algorithm under default parameters, wherein said nucleic acid sequence encodes a polypeptide with cysteine proteinase inhibitor activity; (d) a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a polypeptide with cysteine proteinase inhibitor activity, wherein said polypeptide has at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 12; and (e) a nucleic acid sequence that comprises the full length complement of any one of (a) to (d).
