Performance-enhanced protease variants x

Abstract

The invention relates to proteases that exhibits proteolytic activity and comprises an amino acid sequence which, over its entire length, is at least 70% and increasingly preferably at least 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 90.5%, 91%, 91.5%, 92%, 92.5%, 93%, 93.5%, 94%, 94.5%, 95%, 95.5%, 96%, 96.5%, 97%, 97.5% and 98% identical to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO. 1, the protease having, in each case based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:1, (i) at the positions corresponding to positions 9, 89, 130, 133, 144, 189, 217, 224, 252 and 271, the amino acid substitutions P9T, S89A, N130D, T133A, N144K, S189T, Y217M, S224A, N252T and Q271E, and (ii) at at least one and increasingly preferably two, three, four or five of the positions corresponding to positions 63, 99, 156, 166 and 170, at least one and increasingly preferably two, three, four or five amino acid substitution(s) selected from the group consisting of S63Q, N99H, S156R, G166A and K170R, and the production and use thereof. Such proteases exhibit very good cleaning performance.
