Abstract
The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having cellulolytic enhancing activity and isolated polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.
Claims28
An isolated polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity, wherein the polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to amino acids 16-310 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- (b) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes under at least high stringency conditions with (i) nucleotides 46-1250 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, (ii) a cDNA sequence contained in nucleotides 46-1250 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, or (iii) a full-length complementary strand of (i) or (ii);
- and
- (c) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence having at least 99% sequence identity to nucleotides 46-1250 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
A nucleic acid construct comprising a protein coding sequence operably linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding a signal peptide comprising amino acids 1 to 15 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2, wherein the protein coding sequence is foreign to the nucleotide sequence that encodes the signal peptide.
