Abstract:
1. An isolated variant of a parent cellobiohydrolase II, comprising a substitution at a position corresponding to position 357 of residues 18-481 of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the variant has cellobiohydrolase II activity and is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to residues 18-481 of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes under very high stringency conditions with (i) nucleotides 52-1443 of SEQ ID NO: 1, (ii) the genomic DNA sequence of nucleotides 52-1443 of SEQ ID NO: 1, or (iii) the full-length complementary strand of (i) or (ii); and (c) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide having at least 99% identity to nucleotides 52-1443 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or the genomic DNA sequence thereof.
