Abstract:
An isolated polypeptide having pectate lyase activity selected from the group consisting of:a. polypeptide molecules comprising an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 from residue 1 to residue 341;b. polypeptide molecules having at least 95% identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 from amino acid residue 1 to amino acid residue 341, wherein said identity is determined by the GAP program, using a GAP creation penalty of 3.0 and a GAP extension penalty of 0.1; andc. polypeptide molecules encoded by a DNA sequence that hybridizes to the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 under high stringency conditions, wherein said high stringency conditions comprise hybridization in 5.times.SSC at 45.degree. C. and washing in 2.times.SSC at 70.degree. C.
