The isolated polypeptide as claimed in claim 4 comprising the polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2.
An isolated polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) an isolated polynucleotide comprising a polynucleotide sequence having at least 95% identity to the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1;
- (b) an isolated polynucleotide having at least 95% identity to the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:1;
- (c) an isolated polynucleotide comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide sequence having at least 95% identity to the polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2;
- (d) an isolated polynucleotide having a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide sequence having at least 95% identity to the polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2;
- (e) an isolated polynucleotide with a nucleotide sequence of at least 100 nucleotides obtained by screening a library under stringent hybridization conditions with a labeled probe having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a fragment thereof having at least 15 nucleotides;
