Appeal No. 95-2041
Application 07/814,220
This is an appeal from the examiner's decision finally
rejecting claims 6, 11, 17-21, and 32-47. Appealed claims 48

properly marked as canceled.
Claims 6, 17, 21, and 43 are illustrative of the subject
matter of the claims on appeal and read as follows:
6. A synthetic DNA sequence having a sequence of nucleo-
tides coding for an antifreeze polypeptide modeled after the
antifreeze polypeptide found in winter flounder having greater
than five repeats of an eleven amino acid sequence where the
first and fourth amino acids in said eleven amino acid se-
quence are selected from the group consisting of threonine,
asparagine, glutamine, glutamic acid, serine and aspartic acid
and the second, third and fifth through eleventh amino acids
in said eleven amino acid sequence are selected from the group
consisting of alanine, glycine, lysine, isoleucine, valine,
serine and leucine.
17. A gene having a deoxyribonucleic acid sequence as
shown in Figure 4.
21. A bacterial host having the characteristics of ATCC
deposit No. 68425.
43. A synthetic DNA sequence having a sequence of nu-
cleotides coding for an antifreeze polypeptide modeled after
the antifreeze polypeptide found in winter flounder comprising
