HYBRID POLYPEPTIDES HAVING CELLOBIOHYDROLASE ACTIVITY AND POLYNUCLEOTIDES ENCODING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to hybrid polypeptides having cellobiohydrolase activity. The present invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the hybrid polypeptides; nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides; and processes of using the hybrid polypeptides.

主权项

1. An isolated hybrid polypeptide having cellobiohydrolase activity, comprising:
(a) a first polypeptide fragment comprising a cellobiohydrolase catalytic domain at the N-terminal end of the hybrid polypeptide selected from the group consisting of (i) a polypeptide fragment having at least 96% sequence identity to amino acids 19 to 455 of SEQ ID NO: 2; (ii) a polypeptide fragment encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 96% sequence identity to nucleotides 55 to 1485 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or the cDNA sequence thereof; and (iii) a polypeptide fragment comprising or consisting of amino acids 19 to 455 of SEQ ID NO: 2 or a fragment thereof having cellobiohydrolase activity; and (b) a second polypeptide fragment comprising a carbohydrate binding domain at the C-terminal end of the first polypeptide fragment selected from the group consisting of (i) a polypeptide fragment having at least 96% sequence identity to amino acids 485 to 529 of SEQ ID NO: 4; (ii) a polypeptide fragment encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 96% sequence identity to nucleotides 1453 to 1587 of SEQ ID NO: 3; and (iii) a polypeptide fragment comprising or consisting of amino acids 485 to 529 of SEQ ID NO: 4 or a fragment thereof having carbohydrate binding activity.
