Patent ID: 7833752

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a secretion signal coding sequence for FlGI secretion signal polypeptide, wherein said secretion signal coding sequence is obtained from Pseudomonas , and wherein said nucleic acid molecule is selected from the group consisting of: a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:17; b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:17, wherein said nucleotide sequence encodes a secretion polypeptide; c) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:18; d) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having at least 90% amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:18, wherein said polypeptide is a secretion polypeptide; e) a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes under stringent conditions over the entire length of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:17, wherein said stringent conditions comprise a temperature of about 68° C. to about 70° C.; and f) a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes under stringent conditions over the entire length to a nucleotide sequence that encodes SEQ ID NO:18, wherein said stringent conditions comprise a temperature of about 68° C. to about 70° C.
