Abstract:
1. An isolated polypeptide having cellobiohydrolase activity, selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide having at least 90% sequence identity to the sequence of amino acids 26 to 532 of SEQ ID NO: 4; (b) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes under high stringency conditions with the full-length complement of the sequence of nucleotides 76 to 1596 of SEQ ID NO: 3 or the cDNA sequence thereof, wherein the high stringency conditions are defined as prehybridization and hybridization at 42° C. in 5× SSPE, 0.3% SDS, 200 micrograms/ml sheared and denatured salmon sperm DNA, and 50% formamide, following standard Southern blotting procedures for 12 to 24 hours, followed by washing three times each for 15 minutes using 2× SSC, 0.2% SDS at 65° C.; and (e) a fragment of the sequence of amino acids 26 to 532 of SEQ ID NO: 4 that has cellobiohydrolase activity.
