Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having amylopullulanase activity, selected from the group consisting of:(a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising at least 65% identity with positions 1 to 659 of SEQ ID NO:2;(b) a nucleic acid sequence comprising at least 65% homology with nucleotides 137 to 2116 of SEQ ID NO:1;(c) a nucleic acid sequence which hybridizes under low stringency conditions with (i) the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or (ii) a subsequence of (i) of at least 100 nucleotides;(d) an allelic variant of (a), (b), or (c); and(e) a subsequence of (a), (b), (c) or (d), wherein the subsequence encodes a polypeptide fragment which has amylopullulanase activity; ora complementary strand of (i) or (ii).
