    摘要: The inventors have isolated novel genes with a high homology to the T. lanuginosus lipase gene and are thus well suited for use in gene shuffling. Accordingly, the invention provides a method of generating genetic diversity into lipolytic enzymes by family shuffling of two or more homologous genes which encode lipolytic enzymes. The DNA shuffling technique is used to create a library of shuffled genes, and this is expressed in a suitable expression system and the expressed proteins are screened for lipolytic enzyme activity. The expressed proteins may further be screened to identify lipolytic enzymes with improved properties. The invention also provides a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a lipolytic enzyme and a lipolytic enzyme (a polypeptide with lipolytic enzyme activity).

    摘要: Variants of Lipolase® (wild-type Humicola lanuginosa lipase) with a certain distribution of electrically charged amino acids have a particularly good first-wash performance in a detergent solution with a high ratio of anionic to non-ionic surfactant. The effect is achieved by attaching a positively charged peptide extension at the N-terminal and by imposing certain restrictions on the charge distribution in the region corresponding to amino acid positions 90-101 and at position 210. The inventors further devised a method of developing variants with such performance from Lipolase by attaching a peptide extension at the N-terminal and substituting amino acids in the region 90-101 or in the immediate surroundings in the three-dimensional structure. The lipases may further provide additional benefits, such as whiteness maintenance and dingy cleanup.
