Polypeptides having xyloglucanase activity and nucleic acids encoding same
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having Family 74 xyloglucanase activity and isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequences as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides.
1. An isolated polypeptide having Family 74 xyloglucanase activity,
having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or amino acids 20 to 838 of SEQ ID NO: 2.
2. The polypeptide of claim 1 , comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.
3. The polypeptide of claim 2 , consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.
4. The polypeptide of claim 3 , which consists of amino acids 20 to 838 of SEQ ID NO: 2.
5. The polypeptide of claim 1 , which is encoded by the nucleic acid sequence contained in plasmid pEJG81 which is contained in E. coli NRRL B-30502.
6. A detergent composition comprising the polypeptide of claim 1 .
7. A process for machine treatment of fabrics which process comprises treating fabric during a washing cycle of a machine washing process with a washing solution containing the polypeptide of claim 1 .
