Nucleic acids encoding 3-ketoacyl-ACP reductase from Moraxella catarrahalis

The present invention discloses nucleotide sequences from the genome of . These sequences may be used in various assays and in the development of diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The present invention provides the genomic sequences of a library of purified nucleic acid molecules, or their complements, comprising the genome of . The invention also provides the identification of open reading frames contained within the nucleic acid molecules of the library. The present invention further provides for the use of the nucleic acid molecules, their complements or fragments, and proteins or portions thereof for identifying ligands and useful diagnostic and therapeutic compositions. In addition the invention provides for vectors, host cells and methods for producing proteins or portions thereof.
