Problems solved by technology

[0006] In addition, the trivalent phosphorus of phytate passes through the gastrointestinal tract of these animals and is excreted with feces, causing undesired phosphate pollution of the environment, leading to, for example, eutrophication of the water environment and massive growth of algae

Embodiment 7

[0065] Example 7 shows an example of how to add a novel model phytase to the alignment of Figure 1 and deduce its corresponding phytase variant.

[0066]Similar to Example 7, other model phytases can be aligned and variants deduced. This is especially true for the following model phytases: the phytase of Aspergillus niger var. awamori (US Patent No. 5,830,733); the Bacillus phytase of WO 98 / 06858; the soybean phytase of WO 98 / 20139; The corn phytase of WO 98 / 05785; the Aspergillus phytase of WO 97 / 38096; the Monascus phytase of WO98 / 13480;

[0067] When a model phytase and a putative phytase variant are compared using the alignment described herein, the corresponding amino acid positions, i.e., the model phytase and the variation of the variant can be identified Loci - Simply place the corresponding pattern loci and variant loci one above the other in the alignment. An alteration is said to have occurred at a given position if the pattern amino acid at the pattern position i...

Embodiment 1

[0328] Phytase Activity Test (FYT)

[0329] Phytase activity can be measured using the following assays:

[0330] 10 μl of diluted enzyme sample (diluted in 0.1 M sodium acetate, 0.01% Tween 20, pH 5.5) was added to 5 mM sodium phytate (Sigma) in 0.1 M sodium acetate, 0.01% Tween 20, pH 5.5 250 μl (adjust pH after dissolving sodium phytate; preheat substrate) and incubate at 37° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction was terminated by adding 250 μl of 10% TCA, and added in 100 ml of molybdate reagent (will be 2 SO 4 2.5g dissolved in (NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 o 24 4H 2 O diluted to 7.3g FeSO dissolved in 250ml) 4 500 μl to determine free phosphate. The absorbance at 750 nm of 200 µl of samples was measured in a 96-well microtiter plate. Simultaneous determination of substrate and enzyme blank control. A phosphate standard curve (0-2 mM phosphate) is also included. 1 FYT is equal to the amount of enzyme that releases 1 μmol of phosphate per minute under the given conditions.

Embodiment 2

[0332] Test for specific activity

[0333] Specific activity can be determined as follows:

[0334] A highly purified phytase sample (preliminarily checked for purity on an SDS polyacrylamide gel showing only one component present) was used.

[0335] The protein concentration in the phytase samples was determined by amino acid analysis as follows: A phytase sample was hydrolyzed in 6N HCl, 0.1% phenol for 16 hours at 110°C in an evacuated glass test tube. The obtained amino acids were quantified using an Applied Biosystems 420A amino acid analysis system in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. From the amount of amino acids it is possible to calculate the total mass - and thus concentration - of protein in the hydrolyzed sample.

[0336] Activity was determined in units of FYT. One FYT is equal to the amount of enzyme that releases 1 micromole of inorganic phosphate per minute from phytate (5 mM phytate) at pH 5.5 at 37°C; the assay method is described eg in Exa...

Abstract

Phytase variants, their preparation and uses, which phytase variants, when aligned according to figure 1, are amended as compared to a model phytase in at least one of a number of positions. Preferred model phytases are basidiomycete and ascomycete phytases, such as Peniophora phytase and Aspergillus phytases. Preferred phytase variants exhibits amended activity characteristics, such as improved specific activity and / or improved thermostability.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to phytase variants, particularly Ascomycete phytase variants and Basidiomycete phytase variants, corresponding cloned DNA sequences, methods for preparing such phytase variants and their use in Various industrial applications. Background of the invention [0002] Phytic acid or inositol-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexadihydrogenphosphate (or abbreviated as phytate) is the main source of inositol in plant seeds and the basic storage form of phosphate. Calcium Magnesium Phytate is a blend of potassium inositol, magnesium and calcium salts. [0003] The phosphate portion of phytic acid chelates divalent and trivalent cations such as metal ions, ie the ions calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium which are essential for nutrition and the trace minerals manganese, copper and molybdenum. [0004] Phytic acid and its salt, phytate, are generally not metabolized, ie neither its trivalent phosphorus nor chelated metal ions are nutritionally availa...
