Abstract:
1. An isolated polypeptide having endo-polygalacturonase activity and being encoded by a recombinant DNA molecule, which upon expression in a prokaryotic or eukaryotic host cell encodes said polypeptide having endo-polygalacturonase activity, the recombinant DNA molecule comprising a DNA sequence selected from a) DNA sequences comprising SEQ ID NO: 1, b) DNA sequences hybridizing with the DNA sequences of a) under stringent conditions which comprise hybridization at 65° C., 18 h in dextransulphate solution, washing of the filters for 30 min, first with 6×SSC, twice with 2×SSC, three times with 3×SSC, with 0.1% SDS and after that 0.2×SSC at 65° C., c) DNA sequences which are at least 95% identical to the sequences of a), or d) DNA sequences that are variants of the sequences of a), b or c) due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
