Patent ID: 6908754

Claim:
An isolated protein which comprises a polypeptide: (a) a polypeptide which has an amino acid sequence comprising at least the amino acid numbers 50 to 393 in SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a polypeptide which is encoded by a polynucleotide sequence which hybridizes under stringent conditions to nucleotides 283-1461 of SEQ ID NO: 1 wherein said stringent conditions comprise washing at 60° C. in 1×SSC and 0.1% SDS, and wherein said polypeptide constitutes a protein having a carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase activity with a large subunit of carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; (c) a polypeptide which comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; and (d) a polypeptide which is encoded by a polynucleotide sequence which hybridizes under stringent conditions to nucleotides 1470-4808 of SEQ ID NO: 1 wherein said stringent conditions comprise washing at 60° C. in 1×SSC and 0.1% SDS, and wherein said polypeptide constitutes a protein having a carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase activity with a small subunit of carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase having an amino acid sequence comprising at least the amino acid residues 50 to 393 of in SEQ ID NO: 2.
