Patent ID: 6890746

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 encoding a protein having piperidine-6-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase activity, or a complementary strand thereof; (b) a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10 which has piperidine-6-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase activity, or a complementary strand thereof; (c) a nucleotide sequence consisting of nucleotides 2855 to 4387 of SEQ ID NO: 2 encoding a protein having piperidine-6-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase activity, or a complementary strand thereof; (d) a nucleotide sequence consisting of nucleotides 2077 to 4578 of SEQ ID NO: 2 encoding a protein having piperidine-6-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase activity, or a complementary strand thereof; (e) a nucleotide sequence which has at least 95% homology with the nucleotide sequence of (c) encoding a protein having piperidine-6-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase activity, or a complementary strand thereof; (f) a fragment of nucleotide sequence (a) or (b) encoding a protein having piperidine-6-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase activity, or a complementary strand thereof; and (g) a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes under stringent conditions at 60° C. in 2×SSC to sequence (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) and encodes a protein having piperidine-6-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase activity.
