Patent ID: 6861243

Claim:
An isolated nucleotide sequence encoding a protein having hydroxynitrile lyase activity, wherein the nucleotide sequence is selected from the group consisting of: (1) a nucleotide sequence having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19; (2) a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 20; (3) a nucleotide sequence having at least 85% identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19 and encoding a protein having hydroxynitrile lyase; (4) a nucleotide sequence having the nucleic acid sequence from nucleotide 13 to nucleotide 2151 of SEQ ID NO: 19 and encoding a protein having hydroxynitrile lyase; and (5) a nucleotide sequence having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 19 without the intron regions of nucleotides 116 to nucleotide 257, nucleotide 918 to nucleotide 1120, or nucleotide 1962 to nucleotide 2077 and encoding a protein having hydroxynitrile lyase.
