Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Proteases derived from Nocardiopsis dassonvillei subsp. dassonvillei DSM 43235, Nocardiopsis prasina DSM 15649, Nocardiopsis prasina (previously alba) DSM 14010 Nocardiopsis sp. DSM 16424, Nocardiopsis alkaliphila DSM 44657 and Nocardiopsis lucentensis DSM 44048, as well as homologous proteases; their recombinant production in various hosts, including transgenic plants and non-human animals, and their use in animal feed and detergents. The proteases are acid-stable, alkali-stable, and/or thermostable.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for improving the nutritional value of an animal feed, comprising adding at least one protease to the feed, wherein the protease has a sequence identity of at least 90% to the sequence of amino acids 1-192 of SEQ ID NO: 2; or is a fragment of the sequence of amino acids 1-192 of SEQ ID NO: 2, that has protease activity. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protease has a sequence identity of at least 95% to the sequence of amino acids 1-192 of SEQ ID NO: 2. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protease has a degree of sequence identity of at least 97% to the sequence of amino acids 1-192 of SEQ ID NO: 2. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protease comprises the sequence of amino acids 1-192 of SEQ ID NO: 2. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protease is a fragment of the sequence of amino acids 1-192 of SEQ ID NO: 2. 6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adding amylase; galactanase; alpha-galactosidase; beta-glucanase; phospholipase; phytase; protease, and/or xylanase to the feed. 7. A method for hydrolyzing a protein, comprising adding at least one protease to at least one protein source, wherein the protease has a sequence identity of at least 90% to the sequence of amino acids 1-192 of SEQ ID NO: 2; or is a fragment of the sequence of amino acids 1-192 of SEQ ID NO: 2, that has protease activity, wherein the protein source comprises soybean.
