Polypeptide having β-hexosaminidase activity, and polynucleotides coding for the same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of producing a polypeptide having β-hexosaminidase activity, comprising the steps of a) providing a yeast cell comprising a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having β-hexosaminidase activity and having an amino acid sequence being at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, b) cultivating said yeast cell under conditions which allow for the production of the polypeptide, and c) obtaining the polypeptide produced in step b). The present invention further concerns a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having β-hexosaminidase activity and having an amino acid sequence being at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, as well as polypeptide encoded by said polynucleotide. Moreover, the present invention concerns a yeast cell comprising the polynucleotide of the present invention.
