NOVEL UPASES AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention to newly identified polynucleotide sequences comprising genes that encode novel lipolytic enzymes LIP01-LIP03. The LIP01 enzyme may be isolated from Magnaporthe grisae, the LIP02 and LIP03 may be obtained by mutating the polynucleotide sequence encoding for LIP01. The invention features the full length coding sequence of the novel gene, which is suitable for expression in a suitable host cell as well as the amino acid sequence of the full-length functional protein and functional equivalents of the gene or the amino acid sequence. The invention also relates to methods of using these proteins in industrial processes, for example in baking industry, vegetable oil degumming, production or modification of food emulsifiers and the production of glucose from wheat gluten.
