Transferases and oxidoreductases, nucleic acids encoding them and methods for making and using them

An isolated, synthetic, or a recombinant nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide having a d-amino-acid transferase activity, wherein the polynucleotide is selected from the group consisting of:

• (a) a variant nucleic acid sequence having 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity over the full length of a cDNA, transcript (mRNA) or gene to the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 869;
• and
• (b) a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide having d-amino-acid transferase activity, wherein the polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence having at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:870.
