Abstract
The present invention relates to polynucleotides encoding novel fusion polypeptides essentially composed of a signal peptide for membrane translocation and a polypeptide providing α-1,6-glucosidase activity and to bacteria containing said polynucleotides. The invention further relates to methods for producing fine chemicals using media containing isomaltose and/or panose as carbon source.
Claims18
An isolated polynucleotide encoding a fusion polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequences a), b) and c) wherein:
- a) is an N-terminal Tat-signal peptide comprising the amino acid sequence of positions 1 to 33 of SEQ ID NO:10 or positions 1 to 33 of SEQ ID NO:12 or
- comprising the amino acid sequence of positions 1 to 33 of SEQ ID NO:10 with Ala at position 13 or positions 1 to 33 of SEQ ID NO:12 with Ala at position 13;
- b) is a C-terminal polypeptide having α-1,6-glucosidase activity comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of:
- b1) a sequence ≥95% identical to the sequence from positions 37 to 639 of SEQ ID NO:10;
- and
- b2) at least (≥) 95% identical to the sequence from positions 37 to 643 of SEQ ID NO:12, and
- c) is 0 to 10 amino acid residues between a) and b).
