Abstract
The present invention relates to a hybrid polypeptide having alpha-amylase activity, selected from a first polypeptide sequence comprising a catalytic core, and a second polypeptide sequence comprising a carbohydrate binding module (CBM), wherein (a) the catalytic core is selected from a polypeptide having at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% or 100% sequence identity to amino acids 20 to 494 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or amino acids 20 to 496 of SEQ ID NO: 1; and (b) the CBM is selected from a polypeptide having at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% or 100% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, or SEQ ID NO: 6. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides, and catalytic domains.
