The invention provides a synthetic phytase polypeptide which encodes an enzymatically susceptible phytase. Also provided are feed or food products comprising an enzymatically susceptible phytase, and transgenic plants which express the enzymatically susceptible phytase. Further provided are methods for making and using enzymatically susceptible phytases, e.g., a method of using an enzymatically susceptible phytase in feed and food processing.

Engineering enzymatically susceptible phytases

The present invention is directed to C-terminal truncated &#x3b1;-amylase polypeptides, nucleic acid sequences encoding the truncated &#x3b1;-amylase polypeptides, and methods of using the same. Further provided are expression cassettes, plants and plant parts expressing the nucleic acid sequence encoding the truncated &#x3b1;-amylase. Expression of the truncated &#x3b1;-amylase in a plant cell results in enhanced accumulation of biologically-active &#x3b1;-amylase, or enhanced secretion of the &#x3b1;-amylase from the plant cell, compared to the accumulation or secretion of a full length &#x3b1;-amylase.
