NOVEL EGIII-LIKE ENZYMES, DNA ENCODING SUCH ENZYMES AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING SUCH ENZYMES

摘要

The present invention relates to novel enzymes which share certain conserved sequences with EGIII from Trichoderma reesei. These EGIII like cellulases comprise an amino acid sequence compris ing therein an amino acid string selected from the group consisting of: (a) Asn-Asn-(Leu/Phe/Lys/Ile)-Trp-Gly; (b) Glu-(Leu/Phe/Ile)-Met-Ile-Trp; (c) Gly-Thr-Glu-Pro-Phe-Thr; (d) (Ser/Tyr/Cys/Trp/Thr/Asn/Lys/Arg)-(Val/Pro)-(Lys/Ala)-(Ser/Ala)-(Tyr/Phe); (e) Lys-Asn-Phe-Phe-Asn-Tyr.
