CYCLODEXTRIN GLUCANOTRANSFERASE
The present invention relates to a novel cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) enzyme which is obtainable from Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4, N1-4(HMT) or N1-504. The invention further relates to nucleic acids encoding the enzyme, vectors and host cells, and uses of the CGTase.
1 . A polypeptide, wherein the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide:
(a) comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3;
(b) comprises an amino acid sequence which has at least 70% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3;
(c) is encoded by the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2 or 4; or
(d) is encoded by a nucleotide sequence which has at least 70% sequence identity with the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2 or 4.
