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 (18)

1. A method for laundering a textile, comprising:

a) exposing the textile to a wash liquor comprising a polypeptide having hexosaminidase activity, wherein the polypeptide has at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 7 or 9; and

b) completing at least one wash cycle.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising rinsing the textile.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 85% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 7.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 7.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 7.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 85% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 9.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 9.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 9.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wash liquor further comprises at least one adjunct ingredient selected from the group consisting of at least one builder, at least one surfactant, and at least one bleach component.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 96% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 9.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide has at least 98% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 9.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the polypeptide having hexosaminidase in the wash liquor is in the range of 0.001 mg/L to 10 mg/L.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the polypeptide having hexosaminidase in the wash liquor is in the range of 0.01 mg/L to 10 mg/L.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the polypeptide having hexosaminidase in the wash liquor is in the range of 0.2 mg/L to 2 mg/L.
