Flavin reductase gene from Vibrio fischeri

Abstract

A flavin reductase gene is provided having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein the sequence is displayed in numbered triplets of capital letters, which numbers proceed sequentially from left to right and from the 5' terminus to the 3' terminus; the sequence of capital letters represent the purine and pyrimidine bases of the nucleotide sequence, as follows: A is adenine; G is guanine; C is cytosine; T is thymine; R is A or G; Y is T or C; N is A, T, C, or G; H is A, C, or T; and M is A or C; wherein triplet number 237 thereof is TAA or TAG or TGA; and wherein further: for triplets numbered 13, 21, 22, 36, 63, 85, 92, 111, 112, 126, 140, 150, 156, 186, 196, and 228, if the 3' nucleotide of a triplet is A or G, then the 5' nucleotide of the triplet is T or C, or if the 3' nucleotide of a triplet is T or C, then the 5' nucleotide of the triplet is C; and if the 5' nucleotide of a triplet is C, then the 3' nucleotide of the triplet is A, T, C, or G, or if the 5' nucleotide of a triplet is T, then the 3' nucleotide of the triplet is A or G; for triplets numbered 19, 46, 56, 103,108, 123, 145, 206, and 214, if the 3' nucleotide of a triplet is T or C, then the 5' nucleotide of the triplet is A or C, or if the 3' nucleotide of a triplet is T or C, then the 5' nucleotide of the triplet is C; and if the 5' nucleotide of a triplet is G, then the 3' nucleotide of the triplet is A, T, C, or G, or if the 5' nucleotide of a triplet is A, then the 3' nucleotide of the triplet is A or G.
