Estimating the term…
The invention relates to newly identified gene sequences that encode novel proteases obtainable from Aspergillus niger. The invention features the full length gene sequence of the novel genes, their cDNA sequences as well as the full-length functional protein and fragments thereof. The invention also relates to methods of using these enzymes in industrial processes and methods of diagnosing fungal infections. Also included in the invention are cells transformed with DNA according to the invention and cells wherein a protease according to the invention is genetically modified to enhance or reduce its activity and/or level of expression.
An isolated polynucleotide that encodes a tripeptidyl peptidase wherein said polynucleotide hybridizes to the full length complement of a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1 to SEQ ID NO:8;
An isolated polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having tripeptidyl peptidase-activity, which is at least 95% identical to an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:115 to SEQ ID NO:122;
The isolated polynucleotide of claim 7 wherein said polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:115 to SEQ ID NO:122;
An isolated polypeptide having tripeptidyl peptidase activity, which comprises an amino acid sequence at least 95% identical to an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:115 to SEQ ID NO:122;
