Abstract

The present invention relates to polypeptides having hexosaminidase activity, and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.

Claims (28)

1. A composition comprising

(a) one or more polypeptides having hexosaminidase activity, wherein the polypeptide

(i) has at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 33 or 34,

(ii) comprises one or more Glyco_hydro_20 catalytic domains, and

(iii) comprises the conserved motif I [IV]P[ED][LVI]DXP[AN]H (SEQ ID NO 21), the conserved motif II NYN[AS]Y[SY]LY (SEQ ID NO 22) and/or the conserved motif III GXDE (SEQ ID NO 41); and

(b) at least one cleaning ingredient selected from the group consisting of at least one builder, at least one surfactant, and at least one bleach component;

wherein the composition is in the form of a liquid, gel, powder, granulate, paste, or spray composition.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 96% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 33.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 97% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 33.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 33.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 33.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises SEQ ID NO: 33.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide is a fragment of SEQ ID NO: 33, wherein the fragment has hexosaminidase activity and at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 33.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 96% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 34.

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 97% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 34.

10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 34.

11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 34.

12. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises SEQ ID NO: 34.

13. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide is a fragment of SEQ ID NO: 34, wherein the fragment has hexosaminidase activity and at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 34.

14. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has N-acetylglucosaminidase activity and/or β-N-acetylglucosamininidase activity.

15. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises one or more of the motifs ARAYYPV (SEQ ID NO 42), AWNDGID (SEQ ID NO 43), DDQNVGI (SEQ ID NO 44) or DPRIH (SEQ ID NO 45).

16. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a laundry composition or dish wash composition.

17. The composition of claim 1 , which comprises at least one builder in an amount from about 1 wt. % to about 65 wt. %, and wherein the builder is selected from the group consisting of phosphates, sodium citrate builders, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium and zeolites.

18. The composition of claim 1 , which comprises from about 1 wt. % to about 40 wt. % of at least one bleach component, wherein the bleach component is a percarbonate and/or a bleach catalyst.

19. The composition of claim 1 , which comprises from about 2 wt. % to about 60 wt. % of at least one surfactant, wherein the surfactant is anionic, nonionic or cationic.

20. A method for laundering a textile, comprising:

(a) exposing the textile to a wash liquor comprising a composition of claim 1 ; and

(b) completing at least one wash cycle.
