Abstract

The present disclosure relates to proteases having an amino acid sequence with at least 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID No. 1, across its whole length, and comprising an amino acid substitution on at least one of the positions P9, Q10, Q62, L82, P86, N130, T141, N187, S236 or T253, relating in each case to the numbering according to SEQ ID No. 1. The present disclosure also relates to the production and use thereof. Said type of proteases have a very good cleaning performance.

Claims (25)

1. A protease comprising an amino acid sequence that has at least 92.5% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2 over the entire length thereof, and that has an amino acid substitution at one or more of positions P9, Q10, Q62, L82, P86, N130, T141, N187, S236, and T253, based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the amino acid sequence that has the at least 92.5% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2 has protease activity, and wherein the at least one amino acid substitution is selected from the group of P9H, Q10E, Q62E, L82F, P86S, P86A, N130D, T141K, N187H, S236A, T253S, and combinations thereof, based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2.

2. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises one of the following sets of amino acid substitutions:

(i) P86S and S236A;

(ii) Q62E;

(iii) Q62E and L82F;

(iv) Q10E;

(v) N130D, T141K and T253S;

(vi) P86A;

(vii) P9H, Q62E and L82F;

(viii) Q62E, L82F and N187H;

(ix) Q62E and N130D; or

(x) P86S, N187H and S236A.

3. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease is utilized in a washing or cleaning agent for removing peptide-containing or protein-containing stains.

4. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises the amino acid substitutions P86S and S236A based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2.

5. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises the amino acid substitution Q62E based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2.

6. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises the amino acid substitutions Q62E and L82F based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2.

7. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises the amino acid substitution Q10E based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2.

8. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises the amino acid substitutions N130D, T141K and T253S based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2.

9. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises the amino acid substitution P86A based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2.

10. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises the amino acid substitutions P9H, Q62E and L82F based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2.

11. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises the amino acid substitutions Q62E, L82F and N187H based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2.

12. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises the amino acid substitutions Q62E and N130D based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2.

13. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises the amino acid substitutions P86S, N187H and S236A based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2.

14. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2 over the entire length thereof.

15. The protease according to claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 97% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2 over the entire length thereof.
