Subtilase variants and polynucleotides encoding same

A subtilase variant, wherein said variant when compared to the subtilase polypeptide of amino acids 1 to 275 of SEQ ID NO:

• 2 comprises a deletion of an amino acid at position 131, wherein the variant subtilase is selected from:
• a) a polypeptide having protease activity and having at least 90% but less than 100% sequence identity to the polypeptide of amino acids 1 to 269 of SEQ ID NO:
• 4;
• b) a polypeptide having protease activity that is encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 90% but less than 100% sequence identity to nucleotides 334 to 1140 of SEQ ID NO:
• 3;
• and
• wherein the subtilase variant further comprises one or more substitutions selected from the group consisting of 3P, 3V, 3Y, 9A, 9T, 18A, 18M, 18T, 59D, 105E, 188A, 188T, 205L, 225S, 225T, 262W and 262Y;
• and/or
• one or more substitutions selected from the group consisting of 3D, 15G, 40A, 40G, 40M, 40S, 40T, 68M, 68T, 72L, 79T, 146S, 184E, 216D, 267I, 267V, 270G, 270M, 270S and 270T;
• wherein each position corresponds to the position of amino acids 1 to 275 of SEQ ID NO:
• 2.
