Abstract

The present invention relates to polypeptides, nucleotides encoding the polypeptide, as well as methods of producing the polypeptides. The present invention also relates to detergent composition comprising polypeptides, a laundering method and the use of polypeptides.

Claims (12)

1. A composition comprising at least one surfactant and at least 0.002 ppm of a polypeptide having DNase activity, wherein the polypeptide has at least 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 185.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises the motif HXXP (SEQ ID NO: 210), where H is histidine, P is proline and X is any amino acid.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide having DNase activity has at least 75% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 185.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide having DNase activity has at least 80% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 185.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide having DNase activity has at least 85% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 185.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide having DNase activity has at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 185.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is formulated as a bar, a homogenous tablet, a tablet having two or more layers, a pouch having one or more compartments, a powder, a granule, a paste, a gel, or a liquid.

8. A method for cleaning or laundering a textile, comprising:

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

b. completing at least one wash cycle.

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide having DNase activity has at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 185.

10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide having DNase activity has at least 97% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 185.
