Abstract:
1. A polynucleotide isolated from a fungal source encoding a glycosyl hydrolase Family 74 endoglucanase enzyme having endoglucanase activity selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is a full length complement to a sequence which encodes an EGVI polypeptide having at least 98% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence presented in as shown in (b) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is a full length complement to a sequence which encodes an EGVI polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence presented in as shown in (c) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is a full length complement to a sequence which encodes an EGVI polypeptide having the amino acid sequence presented in as shown in (d) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is a full length complement to a sequence which encodes an EGVI polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:2; (e) a nucleic acid sequence which encodes or is a full length complement to a sequence which encodes an EGVI polypeptide having the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:2; and (f) a nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID NO:4, or the complement thereof; wherein % identity is calculated using the CLUSTAL-W program in MacVector version 6.5, operated with default parameters, including an open gap penalty of 10.0, an extended gap penalty of 0.1, and a BLOSUM 30 similarity matrix.
