Description

COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING POLYPEPTIDES HAVING CELLULASE ACTIVITY AND AMYLASE ACTIVITY, AND USES THEREOF IN CLEANING AND DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS Reference to a Sequence Listing
This application contains a Sequence Listing in computer readable form, which is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to compositions comprising polypeptides exhibiting cellulase activity and one or more amylases and uses thereof in cleaning or detergent applications and processes such as cleaning hard-surfaces, dish wash and laundering.
Description of the Related Art
Beta-glucans are polysaccharides consisting of glucose units linked by beta-glucosidic bonds. Cellulose is one type of beta-glucan, in which all of the glucose units are linked by beta- 1 ,4-glucosidic bonds. This feature results in the formation of insoluble cellulose micro-fibrils. Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose requires the use of endo beta-glucanases (e.g. EC 3.2.1.4), cellobiohydrolases (e.g. EC 3.2.1.91 ) and beta-glucosidases (e.g. EC 3.2.1.21 ).
The removal of cereal stains as oat and barley containing stains in dish wash and laundry is a recognized problem, and there is a considerable interest in finding enzymes that can degrade the beta-glucans found therein. Various Bacillus species like e.g. B. amyloliquefaciens express a beta-glucanase and various cellulases. However, some of these enzymes are generally not very suitable for alkaline applications, e.g. at pH 7.5 or above.
Alpha-amylases (alpha-1 ,4-glucan-4-glucanohydrolases, E.C. 3.2.1 .1 ) constitute a group of enzymes, which catalyses hydrolysis of starch and other linear and branched 1 ,4-gluosidic oligo- and polysaccharides. Alkaline amylases, such as AA560, form a particular group of alpha- amylases that have found use in detergents. Many of these known bacterial amylases have been modified in order to improve their functionality in a particular application.
Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide compositions which have an improved effectiveness in removal of polysaccharides comprising beta-glucans and starch.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

(b) a fragment of the polypeptide of (a) that has cellulase activity;
and (ii) at least one polypeptide having alpha-amylase activity.

Alpha-amylase activity: The term "alpha-amylase activity" means the activity of alpha-1 ,4-glucan-4-glucanohydrolases, E.C. 3.2.1.1 , which constitute a group of enzymes, which catalyze hydrolysis of starch and other linear and branched 1 ,4-alpha-glucosidic oligo- and polysaccharides. Alpha-amylase activity may be determined by pNP-G7 assay as described in the Examples herein.
Anti-redeposition: The term "anti-redeposition" or "anti-redeposition effect" means the reduction or prevention of soil from depositing back onto the textile, fabric or hard surface. The anti-redeposition effect can be determined using the Mini-LOM or Mini-TOM wash assay.
Synergistic effect: The term "synergistic effect" means a cooperative action of polypeptides such that a total combined effect of said polypeptides is greater than the sum of the individual enzymatic effects of said polypeptides. Non-limiting examples of synergistic effect include REM synergistic effect of a beta-glucanase polypeptide of the invention and one or more alpha-amylase.
REM synergistic effect: REM synergistic effect of polypeptides as used herein can be measured based on the analysis of stain removal carried out by using any suitable wash performance methodology (e.g. Wascator bottle wash method). A preferred method for determining the REM synergistic effect is disclosed in Example 2.
Beta-glucanase: The term "beta-glucanase" as used herein means an endo beta-1 ,4- glucanase activity (e.g. endo-1 ,4-3-D-glucanase) that catalyzes the hydrolyses of a beta-1 ,4- bonds connecting two glucosyl residues in a beta-glucan. Non-limiting examples of beta- glucanases as defined herein include cellulases (e.g. EC 3.2.1.4, e.g. having endo-cellulase activity on β-1 ,4 linkages between D-glucose units. For purposes of the present invention, beta- glucanase activity is determined according to the procedure described in the Examples. In one aspect of the invention, the polypeptides of the present invention have at least 20%, e.g., at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 100% of the beta-glucanase activity of the polypeptide having the sequence selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NO: 1 , SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ I D NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, and SEQ ID NO: 5. Beta-glucanase activity can suitably be measured using cellulose as substrate.
Beta-glucan: The term "beta-glucan" as used herein means a polysaccharide that only contains glucose as structural components, and in which the glucose units are linked by beta- glycosidic bonds. Non-limiting examples of beta-glucans include beta-D-glucans, beta-1 ,3-1 ,4 glucans, mix-linkage beta-glucans, barley beta-glucans, oatmeal beta-glucans.
Allelic variant: The term "allelic variant" means any of two or more alternative forms of a gene occupying the same chromosomal locus. Allelic variation arises naturally through mutation, and may result in polymorphism within populations. Gene mutations can be silent (no change in the encoded polypeptide) or may encode polypeptides having altered amino acid sequences. An allelic variant of a polypeptide is a polypeptide encoded by an allelic variant of a gene.
Carbohydrate binding module: The term "carbohydrate binding module" means the region within a carbohydrate-active enzyme that provides carbohydrate-binding activity (Boraston et al., 2004, Biochem. J. 383: 769-781 ). A majority of known carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) are contiguous amino acid sequences with a discrete fold. The carbohydrate binding module (CBM) is typically found either at the N-terminal or at the C-terminal extremity of an enzyme. Some CBMs are known to have specificity for cellulose.
Catalytic domain: The term "catalytic domain" means the region of an enzyme containing the catalytic machinery of the enzyme.
cDNA: The term "cDNA" means a DNA molecule that can be prepared by reverse transcription from a mature, spliced, mRNA molecule obtained from a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell. cDNA lacks intron sequences that may be present in the corresponding genomic DNA. The initial, primary RNA transcript is a precursor to mRNA that is processed through a series of steps, including splicing, before appearing as mature spliced mRNA.
Cellulolytic enzyme or cellulase: The term "cellulolytic enzyme" or "cellulase" means one or more (e.g., several) enzymes that hydrolyze a cellulosic material. Such enzymes include endoglucanase(s) (e.g. EC 3.2.1.4), cellobiohydrolase(s), beta-glucosidase(s), or combinations thereof. The two basic approaches for measuring cellulolytic enzyme activity include: (1 ) measuring the total cellulolytic enzyme activity, and (2) measuring the individual cellulolytic enzyme activities (endoglucanases, cellobiohydrolases, and beta-glucosidases) as reviewed in Zhang et al., 2006, Biotechnology Advances 24: 452-481. Total cellulolytic enzyme activity can be measured using insoluble substrates, including Whatman N°1 filter paper, microcrystalline cellulose, bacterial cellulose, algal cellulose, cotton, pretreated lignocellulose, etc. The most common total cellulolytic activity assay is the filter paper assay using Whatman N°1 filter paper as the substrate. The assay was established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) (Ghose, 1987, Pure Appl. Chem. 59: 257-68).
Cellulolytic enzyme activity can be determined by measuring the increase in production/release of sugars during hydrolysis of a cellulosic material by cellulolytic enzyme(s) under the following conditions: 1 -50 mg of cellulolytic enzyme protein/g of cellulose in pretreated corn stover (PCS) (or other pretreated cellulosic material) for 3-7 days at a suitable temperature such as 40°C-80°C, e.g., 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, or 70°C, and a suitable pH such as 4-9, e.g., 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, or 7.0, compared to a control hydrolysis without addition of cellulolytic enzyme protein. Typical conditions are 1 ml reactions, washed or unwashed PCS, 5% insoluble solids (dry weight), 50 mM sodium acetate pH 5, 1 mM MnS04, 50°C, 55°C, or 60°C, 72 hours, sugar analysis by AMINEX® HPX-87H column (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA).
Cellulosic material: The term "cellulosic material" means any material containing cellulose. The predominant polysaccharide in the primary cell wall of biomass is cellulose, the second most abundant is hemicellulose, and the third is pectin. The secondary cell wall, produced after the cell has stopped growing, also contains polysaccharides and is strengthened by polymeric lignin covalently cross-linked to hemicellulose. Cellulose is a homopolymer of anhydrocellobiose and thus a linear beta-(1 -4)-D-glucan, while hemicelluloses include a variety of compounds, such as xylans, xyloglucans, arabinoxylans, and mannans in complex branched structures with a spectrum of substituents. Although generally polymorphous, cellulose is found in plant tissue primarily as an insoluble crystalline matrix of parallel glucan chains. Hemicelluloses usually hydrogen bond to cellulose, as well as to other hemicelluloses, which help stabilize the cell wall matrix.
Cellulose is generally found, for example, in the stems, leaves, hulls, husks, and cobs of plants or leaves, branches, and wood of trees. The cellulosic material can be, but is not limited to, agricultural residue, herbaceous material (including energy crops), municipal solid waste, pulp and paper mill residue, waste paper, and wood (including forestry residue) (see, for example, Wiselogel ei a/., 1995, in Handbook on Bioethanol (Charles E. Wyman, editor), pp. 105-1 18, Taylor & Francis, Washington D.C.; Wyman, 1994, Bioresource Technology 50: 3-16; Lynd, 1990, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology 24/25: 695-719; Mosier ei a/., 1999, Recent Progress in Bioconversion of Lignocellulosics, in Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology, T. Scheper, managing editor, Volume 65, pp. 23-40, Springer-Verlag, New York). It is understood herein that the cellulose may be in the form of lignocellulose, a plant cell wall material containing lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose in a mixed matrix. In one aspect, the cellulosic material is any biomass material. In another aspect, the cellulosic material is lignocellulose, which comprises cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin.
In an embodiment, the cellulosic material is agricultural residue, herbaceous material (including energy crops), municipal solid waste, pulp and paper mill residue, waste paper, or wood (including forestry residue).

Such control sequences include, but are not limited to, a leader, polyadenylation sequence, propeptide sequence, promoter, signal peptide sequence, and transcription terminator. At a minimum, the control sequences include a promoter, and transcriptional and translational stop signals. The control sequences may be provided with linkers for the purpose of introducing specific restriction sites facilitating ligation of the control sequences with the coding region of the polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide.

Dish washing includes but are not limited to cleaning of plates, cups, glasses, bowls, and cutlery such as spoons, knives, forks, serving utensils, ceramics, plastics, metals, china, glass and acrylics.
Hemicellulolytic enzyme or hemicellulase: The term "hemicellulolytic enzyme" or "hemicellulase" means one or more (e.g., several) enzymes that hydrolyze a hemicellulosic material. See, for example, Shallom and Shoham, Current Opinion In Microbiology, 2003, 6(3): 219-228). Hemicellulases are key components in the degradation of plant biomass. Examples of hemicellulases include, but are not limited to, an acetylmannan esterase, an acetylxylan esterase, an arabinanase, an arabinofuranosidase, a coumaric acid esterase, a feruloyl esterase, a galactosidase, a glucuronidase, a glucuronoyl esterase, a mannanase, a mannosidase, a xylanase, and a xylosidase. The substrates for these enzymes, hemicelluloses, are a heterogeneous group of branched and linear polysaccharides that are bound via hydrogen bonds to the cellulose microfibrils in the plant cell wall, crosslinking them into a robust network. Hemicelluloses are also covalently attached to lignin, forming together with cellulose a highly complex structure. The variable structure and organization of hemicelluloses require the concerted action of many enzymes for its complete degradation. The catalytic modules of hemicellulases are either glycoside hydrolases (GHs) that hydrolyze glycosidic bonds, or carbohydrate esterases (CEs), which hydrolyze ester linkages of acetate or ferulic acid side groups. These catalytic modules, based on homology of their primary sequence, can be assigned into GH and CE families. Some families, with an overall similar fold, can be further grouped into clans, marked alphabetically (e.g., GH-A). A most informative and updated classification of these and other carbohydrate active enzymes is available in the Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZy) database. Hemicellulolytic enzyme activities can be measured according to Ghose and Bisaria, 1987, Pure & Appl. Chem. 59: 1739-1752, at a suitable temperature such as 40°C-80°C, e.g., 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, or 70°C, and a suitable pH such as 4-9, e.g., 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, or 7.0.

In another embodiment, the present invention relates to alpha-amylase variants of the polypeptide of sequence selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 1 1 , SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 17, and SEQ ID NO: 19 comprising a substitution, deletion, and/or insertion at one or more (e.g., several) positions. In an embodiment, the number of amino acid substitutions, deletions and/or insertions introduced into the mature polypeptide of sequence selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 1 1 , SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 17, and SEQ I D NO: 19 is up to 10, e.g., 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. The amino acid changes may be of a minor nature, that is conservative amino acid substitutions or insertions that do not significantly affect the folding and/or activity of the protein; small deletions, typically of 1 - 30 amino acids; small amino- or carboxyl-terminal extensions, such as an amino-terminal methionine residue; a small linker peptide of up to 20-25 residues; or a small extension that facilitates purification by changing net charge or another function, such as a poly-histidine tract, an antigenic epitope or a binding domain.
Examples of conservative substitutions are within the groups of basic amino acids (arginine, lysine and histidine), acidic amino acids (glutamic acid and aspartic acid), polar amino acids (glutamine and asparagine), hydrophobic amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine), aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine), and small amino acids (glycine, alanine, serine, threonine and methionine). Amino acid substitutions that do not generally alter specific activity are known in the art and are described, for example, by H. Neurath and R.L. Hill, 1979, In, The Proteins, Academic Press, New York. Common substitutions are Ala/Ser, Val/lle, Asp/Glu, Thr/Ser, Ala/Gly, Ala/Thr, Ser/Asn, Ala/Val, Ser/Gly, Tyr/Phe, Ala/Pro, Lys/Arg, Asp/Asn, Leu/lle, LeuA al, Ala/Glu, and Asp/Gly.
Alternatively, the amino acid changes are of such a nature that the physico-chemical properties of the polypeptides are altered. For example, amino acid changes may improve the thermal stability of the polypeptide, alter the substrate specificity, change the pH optimum, and the like.
Essential amino acids in a polypeptide can be identified accordingly to procedures known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis or alanine-scanning mutagenesis (Cunningham and Wells, 1989, Science 244: 1081 -1085). In the latter technique, single alanine mutations are introduced at every residue in the molecule, and the resultant molecules are tested for beta- glucanase activity to identify amino acid residues that are critical to the activity of the molecule. See also, Hilton et al., 1996, J. Biol. Chem. 271 : 4699-4708. The active site of the enzyme or other biological interaction can also be determined by physical analysis of structure, as determined by such techniques as nuclear magnetic resonance, crystallography, electron diffraction, or photoaffinity labeling, in conjunction with mutation of putative contact site amino acids. See, for example, de Vos et al., 1992, Science 255: 306-312; Smith et al., 1992, J. Mol. Biol. 224: 899-904; Wlodaver et al., 1992, FEBS Lett. 309: 59-64. The identity of essential amino acids can also be inferred from an alignment with a related polypeptide.
Single or multiple amino acid substitutions, deletions, and/or insertions can be made and tested using known methods of mutagenesis, recombination, and/or shuffling, followed by a relevant screening procedure, such as those disclosed by Reidhaar-Olson and Sauer, 1988, Science 241 : 53-57; Bowie and Sauer, 1989, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86: 2152-2156; WO 95/17413; or WO 95/22625. Other methods that can be used include error-prone PCR, phage display (e.g., Lowman et al., 1991 , Biochemistry 30: 10832-10837; U.S. Patent No. 5,223,409; WO 92/06204), and region-directed mutagenesis (Derbyshire et al., 1986, Gene 46: 145; Ner ei a/., 1988, DNA 7: 127).
Mutagenesis/shuffling methods can be combined with high-throughput, automated screening methods to detect activity of cloned, mutagenized polypeptides expressed by host cells (Ness et al., 1999, Nature Biotechnology 17: 893-896). Mutagenized DNA molecules that encode active polypeptides can be recovered from the host cells and rapidly sequenced using standard methods in the art. These methods allow the rapid determination of the importance of individual amino acid residues in a polypeptide.
The polypeptide may be a hybrid polypeptide in which a region of one polypeptide is fused at the N-terminus or the C-terminus of a region of another polypeptide.
The polypeptide may be a fusion polypeptide or cleavable fusion polypeptide in which another polypeptide is fused at the N-terminus or the C-terminus of the polypeptide of the present invention. A fusion polypeptide is produced by fusing a polynucleotide encoding another polypeptide to a polynucleotide of the present invention. Techniques for producing fusion polypeptides are known in the art, and include ligating the coding sequences encoding the polypeptides so that they are in frame and that expression of the fusion polypeptide is under control of the same promoter(s) and terminator. Fusion polypeptides may also be constructed using intein technology in which fusion polypeptides are created post-translationally (Cooper et al., 1993, EMBO J. 12: 2575-2583; Dawson et al., 1994, Science 266: 776-779).
A fusion polypeptide can further comprise a cleavage site between the two polypeptides.
Upon secretion of the fusion protein, the site is cleaved releasing the two polypeptides. Examples of cleavage sites include, but are not limited to, the sites disclosed in Martin et al., 2003, J. Ind. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 3: 568-576; Svetina et al., 2000, J. Biotechnol. 76: 245-251 ; Rasmussen- Wilson et al., 1997, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 63: 3488-3493; Ward et al., 1995, Biotechnology 13: 498-503; and Contreras et al., 1991 , Biotechnology 9: 378-381 ; Eaton et al., 1986, Biochemistry 25: 505-512; Collins-Racie et al., 1995, Biotechnology 13: 982-987; Carter et al., 1989, Proteins: Structure, Function, and Genetics 6: 240-248; and Stevens, 2003, Drug Discovery World 4: 35- 48.

EXAMPLES
Example 1 - Activity determination assays
pNP-G7 assay for determination of alpha-amylase activity
The alpha-amylase activity may be determined by a method employing the G7-pNP substrate. G7-pNP which is an abbreviation for 4,6-ethylidene(G/>-p-nitrophenyl(G!)-a,D- maltoheptaoside, a blocked oligosaccharide which can be cleaved by an endo-amylase, such as an alpha-amylase. Following the cleavage, the alpha-Glucosidase included in the kit digest the hydrolysed substrate further to liberate a free PNP molecule which has a yellow color and thus can be measured by visible spectophometry at λ=405ηηΊ (400-420 nm.). Kits containing G7-pNP substrate and alpha-Glucosidase is manufactured by Roche/Hitachi (cat. No.1 1876473).
The G7-pNP substrate from this kit contains 22 mM 4,6-ethylidene- G7-pNP and 52.4 mM
HEPES (2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1 -piperazinyl]-ethanesulfonic acid), pH 7.0).
The alpha-Glucosidase reagent contains 52.4 mM HEPES, 87 mM NaCI, 12.6 mM MgCI2, 0.075 mM CaC , > 4 kU/L alpha-glucosidase).
The substrate working solution is made by mixing 1 mL of the alpha-Glucosidase reagent with 0.2 mL of the G7-pNP substrate. This substrate working solution is made immediately before use.
Dilution buffer: 50 mM MOPS, 0.05% (w/v) Triton X100 (polyethylene glycol p-(1 , 1 ,3,3- tetramethylbutyl)-phenyl ether (Ci4H220(C2H40)/1 (n = 9-10))), 1 mM CaCI2, pH8.0.
The amylase sample to be analyzed was diluted in dilution buffer to ensure the pH in the diluted sample is 7. The assay was performed by transferring 20μΙ diluted enzyme samples to 96 well microtiter plate and adding 80μΙ substrate working solution. The solution was mixed and pre- incubated 1 minute at room temperature and absorption is measured every 20 sec. over 5 minutes at OD 405 nm.
The slope (absorbance per minute) of the time dependent absorption-curve is directly proportional to the specific activity (activity per mg enzyme) of the alpha-amylase in question under the given set of conditions. The amylase sample should be diluted to a level where the slope is below 0.4 absorbance units per minute.
AZCL-He-cellulose assay for determination of cellulase activity
An AZCL-He-cellulose (azurine dye covalently cross-linked cellulose) assay was used for detection of cellulase (endo-glucanase) activity. AZCL-He-cellulose (75 mg) was suspended in 15 mL detergent (Model detergent A, Model detergent X or ADW Model detergent A). To 1 mL of this solution in Eppendorf tubes was added 100 L enzyme (0.09 mg enzyme protein/mL), incubated for 15 min at 40°C while shaking at 1250 rpm in a pre-heated thermo mixer and spun down for 2 min at 13200 rpm. 250 μί of the solution was transferred to a micro-titer plate and the sample absorbance was measured at 590 nm.
