Abstract

The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having xylanase activity and isolated polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A nucleic acid construct comprising an isolated polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having xylanase activity operably linked to one or more heterologous control sequences that direct production of the polypeptide in a recombinant expression host, wherein the polynucleotide is selected from the group consisting of:

(b) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having xylanase activity which hybridizes under high stringency conditions with (i) nucleotides 107 to 1415 of SEQ ID NO: 5, (ii) the cDNA sequence of nucleotides 107 to 1415 of SEQ ID NO: 5, or (iii) the full-length complement of (i) or (ii), wherein th high stringency conditions are defined as prehybridization and hybridization at 42° C. in 5×SSPE, 0.3% SDS, 200 micrograms/ml sheared and denatured salmon sperm DNA, and 50% formamide, and washing three times each for 15 minutes in 2×SSC, 0.2% SDS at 65° C.;
(c) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having xylanase activity comprising a polynucleotide sequence having at least 95% identity to nucleotides 107 to 1415 of SEQ ID NO: 5;
(d) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having xylanase activity comprising amino acids 20 to 397 of SEQ ID NO: 6; and
(e) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having xylanase activity comprising nucleotides 107 to 1415 of SEQ ID NO: 5.
