Abstract
Nucleic acid molecules that encode R2 subunit protein and topoisomerase I protein, fragments thereof, recombinant expression vectors and host cells are disclosed. Oligonucleotide molecules with nucleotide sequences complimentary to a nucleotide sequence encode R2 subunit protein and topoisomerase I protein are disclosed.
Claims18
A recombinant expression vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence that encodes the protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:6 or SEQ ID NO:4.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of:
- a) SEQ ID No:1,
- b) a fragment of at least 10 contiguous nucleotides from SEQ ID No:1 or from the complement of SEQ ID No:1,
- c) SEQ ID No:5,
- d) a fragment of at least 10 contiguous nucleotides from SEQ ID No:5 or from the complement of SEQ ID No:5,
- e) SEQ ID No:3, and
- f) a fragment of at least 10 contiguous nucleotides from SEQ ID No:3 or from the complement of SEQ ID No:3.
