Nucleic acid and corresponding amino acid sequences of a cold adapted subtilisin-like activity protein, insolated from antarctic marine origin, preferably from an Antarctic bacteria (sp) that can be used in a variety of industrial contexts and commercial purposes including laundry detergents, food processing, leather processing and skin care products. Nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequences as well as methods for producing and using the cold adapted subtilisin-like protein are also described.

Protein and DNA sequence encoding a cold adapted subtilisin-like activity

The present invention provides nucleic acid and corresponding amino acid sequences of two isoforms of cold adapted trypsin-like activity protein, insolated from antarctic marine origin, preferably from antarctic krill () that can be used in a variety of industrial contexts and commercial purposes including laundry detergents, food processing, drugs and skin care products. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequences as well as methods for producing and using the cold adapted trypsin-like protein.
