Abstract
A DNA construct comprising a DNA sequence encoding an enzyme exhibiting protease activity, which DNA sequence comprises the DNA sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1 or 2 or an analog of any of these sequences being at least 80% homologous to the DNA sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1 or 2. The proteases encoded by the DNA sequences have an acid pH optimum.
Claims18
An isolated and purified DNA sequence encoding an enzyme having the same activity as an enzyme having a pH optimum between 4 and 7, exhibits protease activity in 5% hydrogen peroxide, is obtainable from filamentous fungus, and is encoded by a DNA sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 2.
