The invention relates to
proteases exhibiting proteolytic activity and comprising an
amino acid sequence that, over its total length, corresponds to the
amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO:1 by at least 70% and increasingly preferably by at least 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 90.5%, 91%, 91.5%, 92%, 92.5%, 93%, 93.5%, 94%, 94.5%, 95%, 95.5%, 96%, 96.5%, 97%, 97.5% and 98% is identical, wherein the
protease, with reference to the
numbering according to SEQ ID NO:1, has at least one
amino acid substitution at at least one of the positions corresponding to positions 97, 3, 99, 127 and 211, which is selected from the group consisting of N97E, R99E, R99I, R99N, R99V, R99T, D127E and M211C. Such
proteases are suitable for use in washing and cleaning agents, in particular liquid
textile detergents, and exhibit improved cleaning performance compared to a reference
protease.The invention further relates to the use of these
proteases and processes in which they are used, as well as washing and cleaning agents containing them, in particular liquid
textile detergents.
