Abstract
The present invention provides novel serine proteases, novel genetic material encoding these enzymes, and proteolytic proteins obtained fromspp., including but not limited tospp. and variant proteins developed therefrom. In particular, the present invention provides protease compositions obtained from aspp, DNA encoding the protease, vectors comprising the DNA encoding the protease, host cells transformed with the vector DNA, and an enzyme produced by the host cells. The present invention also provides cleaning compositions (e.g., detergent compositions), animal feed compositions, and textile and leather processing compositions comprising protease(s) obtained from aspp., including but not limited tospp. In alternative embodiments, the present invention provides mutant (i.e., variant) proteases derived from the wild-type proteases described herein. These mutant proteases also find use in numerous applications.
