A MUTATED SUBTILISIN PROTEASE

Abstract: Enzymes produced by mutating the genes for a number of subtilisin proteases and expressing the mutated genes in suitable hosts are presented. The mutated enzymes have a changed net electrostatic charge compared to the parent protease at the same pH. The enzymes exhibit improved wash performance in comparison to their wild type parent enzymes. The enzymes are well-suited for use in detergent compositions.

Description: e : A MUTATED SUBTI ISIN PROTEASE. FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to novel mutant enzymes or enzyme variants useful in formulating detergent compositions in exhibiting improved wash performance, cleaning and deter- gent compositions containing said enzymes, mutated genes coding for the expression of said enzymes when inserted in a suitable host cell or organism, and methods of selecting the a ino acid residues to be changed in a parent enzyme in order to perform better in a given wash liquor under specified conditions. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the detergent industry enzymes have for more than 20 years been implemented in washing formulations. Enzymes used in such formulations comprise proteases, Upases, amylases, cellulases, as well as other enzymes, or mixtures thereof. Commercially most important are proteases. Although proteases have been used in the detergent industry for more than 20 years, it is still not exactly known which physical or chemical characteristics are responsible for a good washing performance or ability of a protease. The currently used proteases have been found by isolating proteases from nature and testing them in detergent formulations. BACILLUS PROTEASES Enzymes cleaving the amide linkages in protein substra¬ tes are classified as proteases, or (interchangeably) peptida- seε (see Walsh, 1979, Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms. W.H. Freeman and Company, San Francisco, Chapter 3) . Bacteria of the Bacillus species secrete two extracellular species of protease, a neutral, or metalloprotease, and an alkaline protease which is functionally a serine endopeptidase, referred to as subtili- sin. Secretion of these proteases has been linked to the bacterial growth cycle, with greatest expression of protease during the stationary phase, when sporulation also occurs. Joliffe et al. (1980, J. Bacterial 141:1199-1208) has suggested that Bacillus proteases function in cell wall turnover. SUBTILISIN A serine protease is an enzyme which catalyses the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, and in which there is an essen¬ tial serine residue at the active site (White, Handler and Smith, 1973 "Principles of Biochemistry," Fifth Edition, McGraw-Hill Book Company, NY, pp. 271-272) . The bacterial serine proteases have molecular weights in the 20,000 to 45,000 range. They are inhibited by diisopro- pylfluorophosphate, but in contrast to metalloproteases, are resistant to ethylene diamino tetraacetic acid (EDTA) (al¬ though they are stabilized at high temperatures by calcium ions) . They hydrolyse simple terminal esters and are similar in activity to eukaryotic chymotrypsin, also a serine pro¬ tease. A more narrow term, alkaline protease, covering a sub-group, reflects the high pH optimum of some of the serine proteases, from pH 9.0 to 11.0 (for review, see Priest, 1977, Bacteriological Rev. 41:711-753) . In relation to the present invention a subtilisin is a serine protease produced by Gram-positive bacteria or fungi. A wide variety of subtilisins have been identified, and the a ino acid sequence of a number of subtilisins have been determined. These include at least six subtilisins from Bacillus strains, namely, subtilisin 168, subtilisin BPN 1 , subtilisin Carlsberg, subtilisin DY, subtilisin amylosacchari- ticus, and mesentericopeptidase (Kurihara et al., 1972, J.Biol.Chem. 247:5629-5631; Wells et al., 1983, Nucleic Acids Res. 11:7911-7925; Stahl and Ferrari, 1984, J.Bacteriol. 159:811-819, Jacobs et al., 1985, Nucl.Acids Res. 13:8913- 8926; Nedkov et al., 1985, Biol.Chem. Hoppe-Seyler 366:421- 430, Svendsen et al., 1986, FEBS Lett 196:228-232), one subtilisin from an actinomycetales, thermitase from Thermo- actinomyces vulgaris (Meloun et al., 1985, FEBS Lett. 1983: 195-200) , and one fungal subtilisin, proteinase K from Tri- tirachium album (Jany and Mayer, 1985, Biol.Chem. Hoppe-Seyler 366:584-492) . Subtilisins are well-characterized physically and chemically. In addition to knowledge of the primary structure (amino acid sequence) of these enzymes, over 50 high resolution X-ray structures of subtilisin have been determined which delineate the binding of substrate, transition state, products, at least three different protease inhibitors, and define the structural consequences for natural variation (Kraut, 1977, Ann.Rev.Biochem. 46:331-358) . In the context of this invention, a subtilisin variant or mutated subtilisin protease means a subtilisin that has been produced by an organism which is expressing a mutant gene derived from a parent microorganism which possessed an original or parent gene and which produced a corresponding parent enzyme, the parent gene having been mutated in order to produce the mutant gene from which said mutated subtilisin protease is produced when expressed in a suitable host. Random and site-directed mutations of the subtilisin gene have both arisen from knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of the enzyme and contributed information relating to subtilisin's catalytic activity, substrate speci¬ ficity, tertiary structure, etc. (Wells et al., 1987, Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci. U.S.A. 84; 1219-1223; Wells et al. , 1986, Phil. rans. .Soc.Lond.A. 317:415-423: Hwang and Warshel, 1987, Bioche . 26:2669-2673; Rao et al., 1987, Nature 328:551-554). Especially site-directed mutagenesis of the subtilisin genes has attracted much attention, and various mutations are described in the following patent applications and patents: EP publ. no. 130756 (GENENTECH) (corresponding to US Patent No. 4,760,025 (GENENCOR) ) relating to site specific or randomly generated mutations in "carbonyl hydrolaseε" and subsequent screening of the mutated enzymes for various properties, such as k cat /K m ratio, pH-activity profile, and oxidation stability. Apart from revealing that site-specific mutation is feasible, and that mutation of subtilisin BPN* in certain specified positions, i.e. "1 Tyr, 32 Asp, 155 Asn, 10 Tyr, 222 Met, 166 Gly, 64 His, 169 Gly, 189 Phe, 33 Ser, 221 Ser, 217 Tyr, 156 Glu or 152 Ala, provide for enzymes exhibiting altered properties, this application does not contribute to solving the problem of deciding where to introduce mutations in order to obtain enzymes with desired properties. EP publ. no. 214435 (HENKEL) relating to cloning and 5 expression of subtilisin Carlsberg and two mutants thereof. In this application no reason for mutation of 158 Asp to 158 Ser and 61 Ser to 16 Asp is provided. In International patent publication No. WO 87/04461 (AMGEN) it is proposed to reduce the number of Asn-Gly sequen- 0 ces present in the parent enzyme in order to obtain mutated enzymes exhibiting improved pH and heat stabilities, in the application emphasis is put on removing, mutating, or modi¬ fying the 109 Asn and the 218 Asn residues in subtilisin BPN'. International patent publication No. WO 87/05050 5 (GENEX) discloses random mutation and subsequent screening of a large number of mutants of subtilisin BPN' for improved properties. In the application mutations are described in positions 218 Asn, 131 Gly, 254 Thr, 166 Gly, 116 Ala, 188 Ser, 1 6 Leu, and 53 Ser. 0 In EP application no. 87303761 (GENENTECH) it is de¬ scribed how homology considerations at both primary and tertiary structural levels may be applied to identify equiva¬ lent a ino acid residues whether conserved or not. This information together with the inventors knowledge of the 25 tertiary structure of subtilisin BPN' lead the inventors to select a number of positions susceptible to mutation with an expectation of obtaining mutants with altered properties. The positions so identified are: 124 Met, 222 Met, 104 Tyr, 152 Ala, 156 Glu, 66 Gly, 169 Gly, 189 Phe, 17 Tyr. Also 155 Asn, 1 Tyr, 22 Thr, 24 Ser, 32 Asp, 30 33 Ser, 36 Asp, 6 Gly, 48 Ala, 9 Ser, 50 Met, 77 Asn, 87 Ser, 94 Lys, 5 Val, 96 Leu, 107 Ile, 110 Gly, 170 Lys, 1 l Tyr, 172 Pro, 197 Asp, 199 Met, 204 Ser, Lys, and Ser, which positions are identified as being expected to influence various properties of the enzyme. Also, a number of mutations are exemplified to support these sugges- 35 tions. In addition to single mutations in these positions the inventors also performed a number of multiple mutations. Further the inventors identify 215 Gly, 67 His, 26 Leu, 135 Leu, and amino acid residues within the segments 97-103, 126-129, 213- 215, and 152-172 as having interest, but mutations in any of these positions are not exemplified. EP publ. no. 260105 (GENENCOR) describes modification of certain properties in enzymes containing a catalytic triad by selecting an amino acid residue within about 15 A from the catalytic triad and replace the selected amino acid residue with another residue. Enzymes of the subtilisin type described in the present specification are specifically mentioned as belonging to the class of enzymes containing a catalytic triad. In subtilisins positions 222 and 217 are indicated as preferred positions for replacement. International patent publication No. WO 88/06624 (GIST- BROCADES NV) discloses the DNA and amino acid sequences of a subtilisin protease designated PB92 almost 100% homologous in the amino acid sequence to the amino acid sequence of Subtili¬ sin 309 International patent publication No. WO 88/07578 (GENENTECH) claims mutated enzymes derived from a precursor enzyme by replacement or modification of at least one catalytic group of an amino acid residue. The inventors state that by doing so a mutated enzyme is obtained that is reactive with substrates containing the modified or replaced catalytic group (substrate-assisted catalysis) . The general theory is based on B ^ amyloliquefaciens subtilisin (BPN 1 ), where modifications have been described in positions 64 His that was modified into 6 Ala alone or in combination with a "helper" mutation of Ser-24-Cys. Modifica¬ tions are also suggested in the amino acid residues 32 Asp, and 21 Ser, and a "helper" mutation of Ala-48-Glu. International patent publication No. WO 88/08028 (GENEX) discloses genetic engineering around metal ion binding sites for the stabilization of proteins. This publication also uses Subtilisin BPN' as example and points at the following amino acid residues as candidates for substitution 17 Pro (P172D, P172E) , l31 Gly (G131D) , 76 Asn (N76D; N76D+P172D(E) ) , 78 Ser (S78D) . Further, suggestions are made for the combined mutants N76D+S78D+G131D+P172D(E) ; N76D+G131D; S78D+G131D; S78D+P172D(E) AND S78D+G131D+P172D(E) International patent publication No. WO 88/08033 (AMGEN) discloses a number of subtilisin analogues having a modified calcium binding site and either Asn or Gly replaced in any Asn-Gly sequence present in the molecule thereby obtaining 5 enzymes exhibiting improved thermal and pH stability. One of the calcium binding sites is disclosed as involving the amino acid residues 41 Asp, 75 Leu, 76 Asn, 77 Asn, 78 Ser, 79 Ile, 80 Gly, 81 Val, 208 Thr, and 214 Tyr; other potential calcium binding sites are suggested at 140 Asp, and 172 Pro; 14 Pro, and 271 Gln; and 172 Pro and 10 195 Glu or 1 7 Asp. Also mutating the 109 Asn and 218 Asn positions is suggested. Mutants produced are N109S, N109S+N218S, N76D+N109S- +N218S, N76D+N77D+N109S+N218S, N76D+I79E+N109S+N218S. International patent publication No. WO 88/08164 (GENEX) describes a method for identifying residues in a 15 protein which may be substituted by a cysteine to permit formation of potentially stabilizing disulfide bonds. The method is based on detailed knowledge of the three dimensional structure of the protein and uses a computer for selecting the positions. In relation to subtilisin proteases, Subtilisin BPN 1 20 was used as a model system. Using the method on Subtilisin BPN 1 resulted in the suggestion of 11 candidates for introducing disulfide bonds (1:T22C+S87C, 2:V26C+L235C, 3 :G47C-f-P57C, 4:M50C+N109C, 5:E156C+T164C, 6:V165C+K170C, 7:V165C+S191C, 8:Q206C+A216C, 9:A230C+V270C, 10:I234C+A274C, 11:H238C+W241C) . 25 Of these 4 were produced (1, 2, 4, and 8) of which 2 did not provide any stabilizing effect (2 and 4) . Further mutants were produced by combining two of these mutants with each other, and one with another mutation, viz. T22C+S87C+N218S, and T22C+S87C+Q206C+A216C. Also, a number of further unsuccessful 30 mutants were produced, viz. A1C+S78C, S24C+S87C, K27C+S89C, A85C+A232C, I122C+V147C, S249C+A273C, and T253C+A273C. Also, it has been shown by Thomas, Russell, and Fersht, Nature 318, 375-376(1985) that exchange of 9 Asp into 9 Ser in subtilisin BPN 1 changes the pH dependency of the enzyme. 35 In a subsequent article J. Mol. Biol. (1987) 193 - 803- 813, the same authors also discuss the substitution of 156 Ser in place of 156 Glu. Both these mutations are within a distance of about 15A from the active 64 His. In Na ure 328, 496-500 1987 Russe an Fers scuss the results of their experiments and present rules for changing pH-activity profiles by mutating an enzyme to obtain changes in surface charge. ISOELECTRIC POINT fpl The isoelectric point, pi , is defined as the,pH value where the enzyme molecule complex (with optionally attached metal or other ions) is neutral, i. e. the sum of electrostatic charges (net electrostatic charge, =NEC) on the complex is equal to zero. In this sum of course consideration of the positive or negative nature of the individual electrostatic charges must be taken into account. The isoelectric point is conveniently calculated by using equilibrium considerations using pK values for the various charged residues in the enzyme in question and then by iteration find the pH value where the NEC of the enzyme molecule is equal to zero. One problem with this calculation is that the pK values for the charged residues are dependent on their environment and consequently subject to variation. However, very good results are obtainable by allocating specific approximate pK values to the charged residues independently of the actual value. It is also possible to perform more sophisticated calculations, partly taking the environment into consideration. The pl 0 may also be determined experimentally by isoelectric focusing or by titrating a solution containing the enzyme. Also, the various pK values for the charged residues may be determined experimentally by titration. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF SUBTILISINS Proteases such as subtilisins have found much utility in industry, particularly in detergent formulations, as they are useful for removing proteinaceous stains. At present the following proteases are known and many of them are marketed in large quantities in many countries of the world. Subtilisin BPN' or Novo, available from e.g. SIGMA, St. Louis, U.S.A. Subtilisin Carlsberg, marketed by Novo-Nordisk a/s (Denmark) as ALCALASE ® and by IBIS (Holland) as MAXATASE ® ; A Bacillus lentus subtilisin, marketed by NOVO INDUSTRI A/S (Denmark) as SAVINASE ® ; Enzymes closely resembling SAVINASE ® such as MAXACAL ® marketed by IBIS, and OPTICLEAN ® marketed by MILES KALI CHEMIE (FRG) ; A Bacillus lentus subtilisin, marketed by Novo-Nordisk a/s (Denmark) as ESPERASE ® ; KAZUSASE ® marketed by SHOWA DENKO (Japan) To be effective, however, such enzymes must not only exhibit activity under washing conditions, but must also be compatible with other detergent components during detergent production and storage. For example, subtilisins may be used in combination with other enzymes active against other substrates, and the selected subtilisin should possess stability towards such enzymes, and also the selected subtilisin preferably should not catalyse degradation of the other enzymes. Also, the chosen subtilisin should be resistant to the action from other components in the detergent formulation, such as bleaching agents, oxidizing agents, etc. , in particular an enzyme to be used in a detergent formulation should be stable with respect to the oxidizing power, calcium binding properties, and pH conditions rendered by the non-enzymatic components in the detergent during storage and in the wash liquor during wash. The ability of an enzyme to catalyse the degradation of various naturally occurring substrates present on the objects to be cleaned during e.g. wash is often referred to as its washing ability, washability, detergency, or wash perform¬ ance. Throughout this application the term wash performance will be used to encompass this property. Naturally occurring subtilisins have been found to possess properties which are highly variable in relation to their washing power or ability under variations in parameters such as pH. Several of the above marketed detergent proteases, indeed, have a better performance than those marketed about 20 years ago, but for optimal performance each enzyme has its own specific conditions regarding formulation and wash conditions, e.g. pH, temperature, ionic strength (=1) , active system (tensides, surfactants, bleaching agent, etc.), builders, etc. As a consequence it is found that an enzyme posses- sing desirable properties at low pH and low I may be less attractive at more alkaline conditions and high I, or an enzyme exhibiting fine properties at high pH and high I may be less attractive at low pH, low I conditions. The advent and development of recombinant DNA tech- niques has had a profound influence in the field of protein chemistry. It has been envisaged that these techniques will make it possible to design peptides and proteins, such as enzymes, and hormones according to desired specifications, enabling the production of compounds exhibiting desired properties. It is possible now to construct enzymes having desired amino acid sequences, and as indicated above a fair amount of research has been devoted to designing subtilisins with altered properties. Among the proposals the technique of producing and screening a large number of mutated enzymes as described in EP publ. no. 130756 (GENENTECH) (US Patent No. 4,760,025 (GENENCOR) ) and International patent publ. no. WO 87/05050 (GENEX) correspond to the classical method of isolating native enzymes and screening them for their properties, but is more efficient through the knowledge of the presence of a large number of different mutant enzymes. Since a subtilisin enzyme typically comprises 275 amino acid residues each capable of being 1 out of 20 possible na- turally occurring amino acids, one very serious draw-back in that procedure is the very large number of mutations generated that has to be submitted to a preliminary screening prior to further testing of selected mutants showing interesting characteristics at the first screening, since no guidance is indicated in determining which amino acid residues to change in order to obtain a desired enzyme with improved properties for the use in question, such as, in this case formulating detergent compositions exhibiting improved wash performance under specified conditions of the wash liquor. A procedure as outlined in these patent applications will consequently only be slightly better than the traditional random mutation procedures which have been known for years. The other known techniques relate to changing speci- fie properties, such as transesterification and hydrolysis rate (EP publ. no. 260105 (GENENCOR) ) , pH-activity profile (Thomas, Russell, and Fersht, supra) , and substrate specificity (Inter¬ national patent publ. no. WO 88/07578 (GENENTECH) ) . None of these publications relates to changing the wash performance of enzymes. A further technique that has evolved is using the detailed information on the three dimensional structure of proteins for analyzing the potential consequences of substitut¬ ing certain amino acids. This approach has been used and is described in EP 260105 (GENENCOR) , WO 88/07578 (GENENTECH) , WO 88/08028 (GENEX) , WO 88/08033 (AMGEN) , and WO 88/08164 (GENEX) Thus, as indicated above no relationship has yet been identified between well defined properties of an enzyme such as those mentioned above and the wash performance of an enzyme. In unpublished International Patent Application no. PCT/DK 88/00002 (NOVO INDUSTRI A/S) it is proposed to use the concept of homology comparison to determine which amino acid positions should be selected for mutation and which amino acids should be substituted in these positions in order to obtain a desired change in wash performance. By using such a procedure the task of screening is reduced drastically, since the number of mutants generated is much smaller, but with that procedure it is only foreseen that enzymes exhibiting the combined useful properties of the parent enzyme and the enzyme used in the comparison may be obtained. The problem seems to be that although much research has been directed at revealing the mechanism of enzyme ac¬ tivity, still only little is known about the factors in structure and amino acid residue combination that determine the properties of enzymes in relation to their wash perfor¬ mance. Consequently there still exists a need for further improvement and tailoring of enzymes to wash systems, as well as a better understanding of the mechanism of protease action in the practical use of cleaning or detergent compositions. Such an understanding could result in rules which may be applied for selecting mutations that with a reasonable degree of certainty will result in an enzyme exhibiting improved wash performance under specified conditions in a wash liquor. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Further investigations into these problems have now surprisingly shown that one of the critical factors in the use of subtilisin enzymes in detergent compositions is the adsorption of the' enzyme to the substrate, i.e. the material to be removed from textiles, hard surfaces or other materials to be cleaned. Consequently, the present invention relates to muta¬ tions of the subtilisin gene resulting in changed properties of the mutant subtilisin enzyme expressed by such a mutated gene, whereby said mutant subtilisin enzyme exhibit improved behav- iour in detergent compositions. Mutations are generated at specific nucleic acids in the parent subtilisin gene respon¬ sible for the expression of specific amino acids in specific positions in the subtilisin enzyme. The present invention also relates to methods of selecting the positions and amino acids to be mutated, and thereby mutatis mutandis the nucleic acids to be changed in the subtilisin gene in question. The invention relates, in part, but is not limited to, mutations of the subtilisin 309 and subtilisin Carlsberg genes and ensuing mutant subtilisin 309 and Carlsberg enzymes, which exhibit improved wash performance in different detergent compositions resulting in wash liquors of varying pH values. Further the invention relates to the use of the mutant enzymes in cleaning compositions and cleaning compositions comprising the mutant enzymes, especially detergent composi¬ tions comprising the mutant subtilisin enzymes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Above it was stated that the invention relates to mutated subtilisins in which the amino acid sequence has been changed through mutating the gene of the subtilisin enzyme, which it is desired to modify, in codons responsible for the expression of amino acids located on or close to the surface of the resulting enzyme. In the context of this invention a subtilisin is defined as a serine protease produced by gram-positive bac¬ teria or fungi. In a more narrow sense, applicable to many embodiments of the invention, subtilisin also means a serine protease of gram-positive bacteria. According to another definition, a subtilisin is a serine protease, wherein the relative order of the amino acid residues in the catalytic triad is Asp - His - Ser (positions 32, 64, and 221) . In a still more specific sense, many of the embodiments of the invention relate to serine proteases of gram-positive bacteria which can be brought into substantially unambiguous homology in their primary structure, with the subtilisins listed in Table I above. Using the numbering system originating from the amino acid seguence of subtilisin BPN', which is shown in Table I above aligned with the amino acid sequence of a number of other known subtilisins, it is possible to indicate the position of an amino acid residue in a subtilisin enzyme unambiguously. Positions prior to amino acid residue number 1 in subtilisin BPN 1 are assigned a negative number, such as -6 for the N-terminal Y in thermitase, or 0, such as for the N-terminal A in proteinase K. Amino acid residues which are insertions in relation to subtilisin BPN' are numbered by the addition of letters in alphabetical order to the preceding subtilisin BPN 1 number, such as 12a, 12b, 12c, I2d, I2e for the "insert" S- T-S-P-G in proteinase K between 12 Ser and 13 Thr. Using the above numbering system the positions of inte¬ rest are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 27, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 87, 89, 91, 94, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 112, 113, 115, 116, 117, 118, 120, 126, 128, 129, 130, 131, 133, 134, 136, 137, 140, 141, 143, 144, 145, 146, - 155, 156, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 170, 171, 172, 173, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 188, 189, 191, 192, 194, 195, 197, 204, 206, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 247, 248, 249, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 265, 269, 271, 272, 275. ISOELECTRIC POINT (pl p ) Assuming that the substrate under washing conditions has an electrostatic charge opposite to that of the enzyme, it might be expected that the adsorption and thus the wash performance of the enzyme to the substrate would be improved by increasing the net electrostatic charge, NEC, of the enzyme. However, it was surprisingly found that a decrease in the NEC of the enzyme under such circumstances could result in an improved wash performance of the enzyme. Stated differently, it was found that changing the isoelectric point, pl 0 , of the enzyme in a direction to approach a lower pH, also shifted the pH of optimum wash performance of the enzyme to a lower value, meaning that in order to design an enzyme to a wash liquor of low pH, in which the enzyme is to be active, improvement in the wash performan¬ ce of a known subtilisin enzyme may be obtained by mutating the gene for the known subtilisin enzyme to obtain a mutant enzyme having a lower pl 0 . This finding led to experiments showing that the opposite also is feasible. Meaning that a known subtilisin enzyme may also be designed for use in high pH detergents by shifting its pl 0 to higher values, thereby shifting the wash performance pH optimum for the enzyme to higher pH values. The present invention therefore in one aspect relates to mutated subtilisin proteases, wherein the net electrostatic charge has been changed in comparison to the parent protease at the same pH, and in which proteases there are, relative to said parent protease, either fewer or more positively-charged amino acid residue(s) and/or more or fewer negatively-charged amino acid residue(s) , or more or fewer positively-charged amino acid residue(s) and/or fewer or more negatively-charged amino acid residue(s) among the amino acid residues at any one or more of positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 27, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 87, 89, 91, 94, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 112, 113, 115, 116, 117, 118, 120, 126, 128, 129, 130, 131, 133, 134, 136, 137, 140, 141, 143, 144, 145, 146, 155, 156, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 170, 171, 172, 173, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 188, 189, 191, 192, 194, 195, 197, 204,. 206, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 247, 248, 249, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 265, 269, 271, 272, 275, and whereby said subtilisin protease has an isoelectric pH (pl 0 ) lower or higher, respectively, than that of said parent protease. In a preferred embodiment the invention relates to mutant subtilisin proteases, wherein the NEC has been changed in comparison to the parent protease at the same pH, and in which proteases there are, relative to said parent protease, either fewer or more positively-charged amino acid residue(s) and/or more or fewer negatively-charged amino acid residue(ε) , or either more or fewer positively-charged amino acid resi- due(s) and/or fewer or more negatively-charged amino acid residue(s) , among the amino acid residues at any one or more of positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 27, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 51, 52, 60, 61, 62, 75, 76, 78, 79, 91, 94, 97, 100, 105, 106, 108, 112, 113, 117, 118, 129, 130, 133, 134, 136, 137, 141, 143, 144, 145, 146, 165, 173, 181, 183, 184, 185, 191, 192, 206, 209, 210, 211, 212, 216, 239, 240, 242, 243, 244, 245, 247, 248, 249, 251, 252, 253, 255, 256, 257, 259, 263, 269, and whereby said subtilisin protease has an isoelectric pH (pl 0 ) lower or higher, respectively, than that of said parent protease. In another preferred embodiment the invention relates to mutant subtilisin proteases, wherein the NEC has been changed in comparison to the parent protease at the same pH, and in which proteaεeε there are, relative to εaid parent protease, either fewer or more positively-charged amino acid residue(s) and/or more or fewer negatively-charged amino acid residue(s) , or either more or fewer positively-charged amino acid residue(s) and/or fewer or more negatively-charged amino acid residue(ε) , among the amino acid reεidueε at any one or more of positionε 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 27, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 51, 52, 60, 61, 62, 75, 76, 78, 79, 91, 94, 97, 100, 105, 106, 108, 112, 113, 117, 118, 129, 130, 133, 134, 136, 137, 141, 143, 144, 145, 146, 165, 173, 181, 183, 184, 185, 191, 192, 206, 209, 210, 211, 212, 216, 239, 240, 242, 243, 244, 245, 247, 248, 249, 251, 252, 253, 255, 256, 257, 259, 263, 269, 271, 272, and at leaεt one further mutation affecting an amino acid reεidue occupying a poεition chosen from the group of posi- tionε 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 27, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 87, 89, 91, 94, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 112, 113, 115, 116, 117, 118, 120, 126, 128, 129, 130, 131, 133, 134, 136, 137, 140, 141, 143, 144, 145, 146, 155, 156, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 170, 171, 172, 173, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 188, 189, 191, 192, 194, 195, 197, 204, 206, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 247, 248, 249, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 265, 269, 271, 272, 275. and whereby said subtilisin protease has an isoelectric pH (pl 0 ) lower or higher, respectively, than that of said parent protease. In these aspects the invention in short relates to mutant proteases in which the pl 0 of the mutant protease is lower than the pl 0 of the parent protease, and in which the pH for optimum wash performance is also lower than the pH optimum for the parent protease; or mutant proteases wherein the pi of the mutant protease is higher than the pi of the parent protease, and in which the pH for optimum wash performance is also higher than the pH optimum for the parent protease. It is generally believed (Thomas, Russell, and Fersht, supra) that kinetic properties can be influenced by changes in the electrostatic surface charge in the vicinity of the active site in the enzyme, but it has now surprisingly been found that changes in the kinetic properties of an enzyme can also be brought about by modifying surface charges remote from the active site. Consequently the invention is also considered to embrace mutant subtilisin enzymes, wherein one or more amino acid residues in a distance of more than 15A from the cataly¬ tic triad of said enzyme has been changed in comparison to the amino acid sequence of its parent enzyme, and in a way to provide for a mutant protease having an isoelectric point (=pl ) shifted in the same direction as it is desired to shift the pH for optimum wash performance of the enzyme, which pH optimum should be as close as possible to the pH of the wash liquor, wherein said mutant protease is intended for use. According to several embodiments of the invention, there are provided mutant proteases and detergent compositions containing them, wherein the amino-acid sequence of the mutant protease contains an insertion mutation at position 36, for example to insert a negatively-charged amino-acid residue (e.g. D or E) or a neutral polar residue (such as A, Q, or N) or a positive amino-acid residue, such as R or K. This is particularly applicable for example to subtilisin proteases 309 and 147 and PB92, and any other sequence for which the homology indicates that it naturally has an amino-acid residue missing at position 36 relative to the sequence of subtilisin BPN'. Insertion mutants at position 36 can have further mutations, for example at one or more of positions 120, 170, 195, 235, and/or 251, and/or at position 76. Suitable mutationε at position 76 are e.g. negatively charged residueε such as N76D or N76E. Mutations at position 36 (especially insertion of negative or polar neutral reεidue) and at poεition 76 (εubεti- tution by negatively-charged residue) can often have stabili¬ sing effect on the mutant protease, and can be used in combination. Mutations at for example one or more of positions 120, 170, 195, 235 and 251 have been found to be aεεociated with increaεed enzyme activity. Even in cases where these latter mutationε are aεεociated individually with some loss of stability it can be acceptable and useful to combine them with mutations at one or both of positions 36 and 76. Among useful examples of εuch proteaεe mutants are those having the following mutations: S-021) *36D S-022) *36D+R170Y+G195E+K251E S-023) *36D+H120D+R170Y+G195E+K235L S-024) *36D+H120D+R170Y+G195E+K235L+K251E S-025) *36D+H120D+G195E+K235L S-235) *36D+N76D S-035) *36D+N76D* H120D+G195E+K235L Under some conditions it can be advantageous to arrange a further mutation in a mutant protease having an insertion of a negative amino-acid residue at position 36, to insert a positive charge elsewhere in the molecule. This can increase the water solubility of the resulting mutant protease, e.g. where the further mutation provideε a poεitive charge, e.g. a positively-charged residue at position 213, e.g. T213K. According to the invention it is further preferred that the mutant subtilisin enzyme representε a mutation of a parent enzyme εelected from εubtilisin BPN' , subtilisin amylosac- chariticus, subtiliεin 168, εubtiliεin mesentericopeptidaεe, subtilisin Carlsberg, subtilisin DY, subtilisin 309, subti¬ lisin 147, thermitase, Bacillus PB92 protease, and proteinase K, preferably subtilisin 309, subtilisin 147, subtilisin Carlsberg, aqualysin, Bacillus PB92 proteaεe, Proteaεe TW7 , or Protease TW3.

Another way of expresεing this principle covered by the invention is that the position(s) and the amino acid(s) to be deleted, substituted or inserted for the amino acid(s) in εaid parent enzyme iε εelected in a way whereby the total number of chargeε or total charge content (=TCC) , and/or the NEC in a reεulting mutant enzyme iε changed in a way to provide for a mutant proteaεe having an isoelectric point (=pl 0 ) shifted in the same direction aε it is desired to shift the pH for optimum wash performance of the enzyme, which pH optimum should be as cloεe aε possible to the pH of the wash liquor, wherein said mutant protease is intended for use. Aε indicated above the pl 0 of a macromolecule εuch aε an enzyme iε calculated as the pH where the NEC of the molecule is equal to zero. The procedure is exemplified in the examples below, but the principles are deεcribed in more detail here. pK values are assigned to each potentially charged amino acid residue. Then the ratio of the occurrence of an amino acid residue at a given pH in charged or uncharged form (charged/uncharged, C/U(i)) is calculated for both negative and positive charge, by uεing the formulae la and lb: C/U(i) = exp(ln 10 (pH-pK ; ) ) (negative charge) (la) C/U(i) = exp(ln 10 (pK j -pH) ) (positive charge) (lb) respectively. From formulae la and lb it is seen that at pH equal to pK. , C/U(i) is equal to l. Then the relative charge, Q r (i) , or charge contribu¬ tion allocated to each charged residue is calculated by using the formulae Ila and lib: Q r (i) = C/U(i)/(1+C/U(i) ) (negative charge) (Ila) Q r (i) = -C/U(i)/(1+C/U(i) ) (positive charge) (lib) The pH value where the sum of all the charge contri- butions from the charged residues is equal to zero is found by iteration or through interpolation in a sufficiently dense pH-charge sum table.

DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING MUTANT ENZYMES IN COMBINATION WITH LIPASE It has εurpriεingly been found that a decrease in the. isoelectric point, pi, and hence net charge of a subtilisin ty¬ pe protease under waεhing conditionε, can reεult in not only an improved waεh performance of the enzyme but alεo an improved compatibility with lipase. It has also been εurprisingly found that compatibility of proteaεe with lipaεe is influenced not only by the pi but also by the positionε at which the charges are located relative to the active site of the protease: The introduction of negative charge or removal of positive charge closer to the active site gives εtronger improvement of compatibility of protease with lipase. Accordingly, certain embodiments of the invention provide enzymatic detergent compositions, comprising lipaεe and alεo compriεing mutated εubtilisin protease, wherein the net molecular electrostatic charge of the mutated protease has been changed by insertion, deletion or substitution of amino-acid residueε in comparison to the parent proteaεe, and wherein, in said protease, there are, relative to said parent protease, fewer poεitively-charged amino-acid reεidue(ε) and/or more negatively-charged amino-acid residue(s) , whereby said subtilisin protease has an isoelectric pH (pl 0 ) lower than that of said parent protease. One preferred claεs of lipases for such use originates in Gram-negative bacteria, and includes e.g. lipaεe enzymeε of the groupε defined in EP 0 205 208 and 0 206 390 ( both to Unilever) , (hereby incorporated by reference) , including lipases immunologically related to those from certain Ps. fluorβscβns, P. gladioli and Chromobacter strains. Preferred embodiments of mutant subtilisin protease enzyme for use in conjunction with lipase as aforesaid posεess one or more mutations at the site of an amino-acid residue located within the range of about 15A-20A from the active site, especially for example at positions 170, 120, or 195. The lipase can usefully be added in the form of a granular composition, (alternatively a solution or a slurry), of lipolytic enzyme with carrier material (e.g. as in EP 258068 (Novo Nordisk A/S) and Savinase ® and Lipolase ® products of Novo Nordisk A/S) . The added amount of lipase can be chosen within wide limits, for example 50 to 30,000 LU/g per gram of the surfac¬ tant system or of the detergent composition, e.g. often at least 100 LU/g, very usefully at least 500 LU/g, sometimeε preferably above 1000, above 2000 LU/g or above 4000 LU/g or more, thus very often within the range 50-4000 LU/g and possibly within the range 200-1000 LU/g. In this specification lipase units are defined as they are in EP 258068. The lipolytic enzyme can be chosen from among a wide range of lipases: in particular the lipases deεcribed in for example the following patent εpecificationε, EP 214761 (Novo Nordisk A/S) , EP 0 258 068 and especially lipases showing immunological cross-reactivity with antisera raised against lipaεe from Thermomyces lanu inosus ATCC 22070, EP 0 205 208 and EP 0 206 390 and especially lipases showing immunological cross-reactivity with antisera raised against lipase from Chromobacter viscosum var lipolyticum NRRL B-3673, or against lipase from Alcaliαenes PL-679, ATCC 31371 and FERM-P 3783, also the lipases described in specifications WO 87/00859 (Gist-Brocades) and EP 0204 284 (Sapporo Breweries) . Suitable in particular are for example the following commercially available lipase preparations: Novo Lipolase ® , Amano lipaseε CE, P, B, AP, M-AP, AML, and CES, and Meito lipases MY-30, OF, and PL, also Esterase ® MM, Lipozym ® , SP225, SP285, Saiken lipase, Enzeco lipase, Toyo Jozo lipase and Diosynth lipase (Trade Marks) . Genetic engineering of the enzymes can be achieved by extraction of an appropriate lipase gene, e.g. the gene for lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus or from a mutant thereof, and introduction and expreεsion of the gene or derivative thereof in a suitable producer organism such as an Aspergillus. The techniqueε deεcribed in WO 88/02775 (Novo Nordisk A/S) , EP 0 243 338 (Labofina) , EP 0 268 452 (Genencor) and notably EP 0 305 216 (Novo Nordisk A/S) or EP 0 283 075 (Giεt-Brocadeε) may be applied and adapted. Similar conεiderations apply mutatis mutandis in the case of other enzymes, which may also be present. Without limitation: Amylase can for example be used when present in an amount in the range about 1 to about 100 MU (maltose units) per gram of detergent composition, (or 0.014-1.4, e.g. 0.07-0.7, KNU/g (Novo units) ) . Cellulase can for example be used when preεent in an amount in the range about 0.3 to about 35 CEVU units per gram of the detergent composition. The detergent compositions may furthermore include the following usual detergent ingredients in the usual amounts. They may be built or unbuilt, and may be of the zero-P type (i.e. not containing any phosphorus-containing builders) . Thus the composition may contain in aggregate for example from 1-50%, e.g. at least about 5% and often up to about 35-40% by weight, of one or more organic and/or inorganic builders. Typical exampleε of εuch builders include those already mentioned above, and more broadly include alkali metal ortho, pyro, and tripolyphosphates, alkali metal carbonates, either alone or in admixture with calcite, alkali metal citrates, alkali metal nitrilotriacetates, carboxymethyloxysuccinates, zeoliteε, polyacetalcarboxylateε and εo on. Furthermore, the detergent compositions may contain from 1-35% of a bleaching agent or a bleach precursor or a system comprising bleaching agent and/or precursor with activator therefor. Further optional ingredients are lather boosters, foam depresεors, anti-corrosion agents, soil-suspen¬ ding agents, sequestering agents, anti-soil redeposition agentε, perfumes, dyes, stabilising agentε for the enzymeε and so on. The compositions can be used for the washing of textile materials, especially but without limitation cotton and polyester-based textiles and mixtures thereof. Especially suitable are for example washing processes carried out at temperatures of about 60-65 deg C or lower, e.g. about 30°C-35°C or lower. It can be very suitable to use the compositions at a rate sufficient to provide about e.g. 0.4-0.8 g/1 surfactant in the wash liquor, although it iε of courεe possible to use lesser or greater concentrations if desired. Without limitation it can for example be stated that a use-rate from about 3 g/1 and up to about 6 g/1 of the detergent formulation is suitable for use in the case when the formula- tions are as in the Examples. METHOD FOR PRODUCING MUTATIONS IN SUBTILISIN GENES Many methods for introducing mutations into genes are well known in the art. After a brief diεcusεion of cloning subtiliεin genes, methods for generating mutationε in both random sites, and specific sites, within the subtiliεin gene will be discussed. CLONING A SUBTILISIN GENE The gene encoding subtilisin may be cloned from any Gram-positive bacteria or fungus by various methods, well known in the art. First a genomic, and/or cDNA library of DNA must be constructed using chromosomal DNA or messenger RNA from the organism that produces the subtiliεin to be εtudied. Then, if the amino-acid sequence of the subtiliεin iε known, homologous, labelled oligonucleotide probes may be synthesized and used to identify subtilisin-encoding clones from a genomic library of bacterial DNA, or from a fungal cDNA library. Alternatively, a labelled oligonucleotide probe containing sequences homolo¬ gous to subtilisin from another strain of bacteria or fungus could be used as a probe to identify subtilisin-encoding clones, using hybridization and washing conditions of lower stringency. Yet another method for identifying subtilisin-pro- ducing cloneε would involve inεerting fragments of genomic DNA into an expreεεion vector, such as a plasmid, transforming proteaεe-negative bacteria with the reεulting genomic DNA library, and then plating the tranεformed bacteria onto agar containing a subεtrate for subtilisin, εuch as skim milk. Those bacteria containing subtilisin-bearing plasmid will produce colonies surrounded by a halo of clear agar, due to digestion of the skim milk by excreted subtilisin. GENERATION OF RANDOM MUTATIONS IN THE SUBTILISIN GENE Once the subtilisin gene haε been cloned into a εui- table vector, εuch aε a plasmid, εeveral methodε can be used to introduce random mutations into the gene. One method would be to incorporate the cloned εubtiliεin gene, aε part of a retrievable vector, into a mutator strain of Eεchericia coli. Another method v/ould involve generating a single stranded form of the subtilisin gene, and then annealing the fragment of DNA containing the subtilisin gene with another DNA fragment such that a portion of the subtilisin gene remained single stranded. This discrete, single stranded region could then be exposed to any of a number of mutagenizing agents, including, but not limited to, sodium bisulfite, hydroxylamine, nitrouε acid, formic acid, or hydralazine. A εpecific example of thiε method for generating random mutationε iε deεcribed by Shortle and Nathanε (1978, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 75: 2170-2174) . According to the εhortle and Nathanε method, the plasmid bearing the subtiliεin gene would be nicked by a re- striction enzyme that cleaves within the gene. This nick would be widened into a gap using the exonuclease action of DNA polymerase I. The resulting single-stranded gap could then be mutagenized uεing any one of the above mentioned mutagenizing agents. Alternatively, the subtilisin gene from a Bacillus species including the natural promoter and other control sequences could be cloned into a plasmid vector containing replicons for both E. coli and B. subtiliε, a selectable phenotypic marker and the M13 origin of replication for production of single-stranded plasmid DNA upon superinfectiσn with helper phage IR1. Single-stranded plasmid DNA containing the cloned subtilisin gene is isolated and annealed with a DNA fragment containing vector sequences but not the coding region of subtilisin, resulting in a gapped duplex molecule. Mutations are introduced into the subtilisin gene either with sodium bi¬ sulfite, nitrous acid or formic acid or by replication in a mutator strain of E_j. coli as described above. Since sodium bisulfite reacts exclusively with cytosine in a single- stranded DNA, the mutations created with this mutagen are restricted only to the coding regions. Reaction time and bisulfite concentration are varied in different experiments such that from one to five mutations are created per subti¬ lisin gene on average. Incubation of 10 μg of gapped duplex DNA in 4 M Na-bisulfite, pH. 6.0, for 9 minutes at 37°C in a reaction volume of 400 μl, deaminates about 1% of cytoεines in the single-stranded region. The coding region of mature subtiliεin contains about 200 cytosines, depending on the DNA strand. Advantageously, the reaction time is varied from about 4 minutes (to produce a mutation frequency of about one in 200) to about 20 minutes (about 5 in 200) . After mutagenesis the gapped molecules are treated in vitro with DNA polymerase I (Klenow fragment) to make fully double-stranded molecules and fix the mutations. Competent E_;_ coli are then transformed with the mutagenized DNA to produce an amplified library of mutant subtilisins. Amplified mutant libraries can also be made by growing the plasmid DNA in a Mut D strain of E. coli which increases the range for mutations due to its error prone DNA polymerase. The mutagenε nitrouε acid and formic acid may also be uεed to produce mutant libraries. Because these chemicals are not as specific for single-stranded DNA as sodium bisulfite, the mutagenesis reactions are performed according to the follo¬ wing procedure. The coding portion of the subtilisin gene is cloned in M13 phage by standard methods and single stranded phage DNA prepared. The single-stranded DNA is then reacted with 1 M nitrous acid pH. 4.3 for 15-60 minutes at 23°C or 2.4 M formic acid for 1-5 minutes at 23 °C. These ranges of reaction times produce a mutation frequency of from 1 in 1000 to 5 in 1000. After mutageneεiε, a univerεal primer iε annealed to the M13 DNA and duplex DNA iε εynthesized using the mutagenized " single-stranded DNA as a template so that the coding portion of the subtiliεin gene becomes fully double-εtranded. At thiε point the coding region can be cut out of the M13 vector with restriction enzymeε and ligated into an unmutagenized expreεε- ion vector so that mutationε occur only in the reεtriction fragment. (Myerε et al. , Science 229:242-257 (1985)). GENERATION OF SITE DIRECTED MUTATIONS IN THE SUBTILISIN GENE Once the subtiliεin gene haε been cloned, and de¬ sirable siteε for mutation identified, theεe mutationε can be introduced uεing εynthetic oligonucleotides. These oligo- nucleotides contain nucleotide sequences flanking the desired mutation sites; mutant nucleotides are inserted during oligo¬ nucleotide εyntheεiε. In a preferred method, a single εtranded gap of DNA, bridging the εubtiliεin gene, iε created in a vector bearing the εubtilisin gene. Then the εynthetic nucleo¬ tide, bearing the desired mutation, is annealed to a ho olo- gous portion of the single-stranded DNA. The remaining gap is then filled in by DNA polymerase I (Klenow fragment) and the construct is ligated using T4 ligase. A specific example of this method iε deεcribed in Morinaga et al. , (1984, Biotech¬ nology 2:646-639). According to Morinaga et al., a fragment within the gene iε removed using restriction endonuclease. The vector/gene, now containing a gap, is then denatured and hybridized to a vector/gene which, inεtead of containing a gap, haε been cleaved with another reεtriction endonuclease at a site outεide the area involved in the gap. A single-εtranded region of the gene iε then available for hybridization with mutated oligonucleotideε, the remaining gap iε filled in by the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I, the insertionε are ligated with T4 DNA ligaεe, and, after one cycle of replication, a double-stranded plasmid bearing the desired mutation is produced. The Morinaga method obviates the additional manipula¬ tion of conεtructing new restriction siteε, and therefore facilitateε the generation of mutations at multiple siteε. U.S. Patent number 4,760,025, by Eεtell et al., iεsued July 26, 1988, is able to introduce oligonucleotideε bearing multiple mutationε by performing minor alterations of the cassette, however, an even greater variety of mutations can be introduced at any one time by the Morinaga method, because a multitude of oligonucleotides, of various lengths, can be introduced. EXPRESSION OF SUBTILISIN MUTANTS According to the invention, a mutated subtilisin gene produced by methods described above, or any alternative methods known in the art, can be expressed, in enzyme form, using an expression vector. An expression vector generally falls under the definition of a cloning vector, since an expression vector usually includeε the components of a typical cloning vector, namely, an element that permits autonomous replication of the vector in a microorganism independent of the genome of the microorganism, and one or more phenotypic markers for selection purpoεes. An expreεεion vector includeε control sequences encoding a promoter, operator, riboεome binding εite, trans- lation initiation εignal, and, optionally, a repreεεor gene or various activator genes. To permit the εecretion of the ex- preεsed protein, nucleotides encoding a "signal sequence" may be inserted prior to the coding εequence of the gene. For ex¬ preεεion under the direction of control εequences, a target gene to be treated according to the invention is operably linked to the control sequences in the proper reading frame. Promoter εequences that can be incorporated into plasmid vec¬ tors, and which can support the transcription of the mutant subtilisin gene, include but are not limited to the prokaryotic β-lactamase promoter (Villa-Kamaroff, et al., 1978, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 21:3727-3731) and the tac promoter (DeBoer, et al., 1983, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 8 . 0:21-25). Further references can also be found in "Useful proteins from recombi- nant bacteria" in Scientific American, 1980, 242:74-94. According to one embodiment B. subtiliε iε transfor¬ med by an expreεsion vector carrying the mutated DNA. If ex- pression is to take place in a secreting microorganism such aε B. subtilis a signal sequence may follow the translation initiation signal and precede the DNA sequence of interest. The signal εequence actε to transport the expression product to the cell wall where it is cleaved from the product upon secretion. The term "control sequences" as defined above iε intended to include a εignal εequence, when it is preεent.

SUBTILISIN CARLSBERG GENE CONSTRUCTION A synthetic gene was designed based on the coding sequence of the mature εubtilisin Carlsberg proteaεe and its tranεcription terminator (Jacobs, M. Eliasson,M., Uhlen,M. , Flock,J.-I. (1985) , Cloning, sequencing and expreεεion of subtilisin Carlsberg from Bacillus licheniformis. Nucleic Acids Res. 13 (24) , 8913-8926) , linked to the pre and pro coding sequenceε of the εubtiliεin BPN' proteaεe (Wells,J.A., Ferrari,E., Henner,D.J., Eεtell,D.A., Chen,E.Y. (1983), Cloning, sequencing and secretion of Bacilluε amyloliquefa- cienε subtilisin in Bacillus εubtiliε. Nuclei Acids Res. 11 (22) , 7911-7925) . The gene was εubdivided into εeven fragments in length ranging from 127 to 313 basepairs, each fragment built up from chemically εyntheεized oligoε of 16 to 77 nucleotideε. The overlap between the oligoε of the two strandε was optimised in order to facilitate a one step annealing of each fragment (Mullenbach, G.T., Tabrizi, A., Blacher, R.W., Steimer,K.S. (1986) , Chemical εyntheεiε and expression in Yeast of a gene encoding connective tiεεue activating peptide-III, J.Biol. Chem. 261 (2) , 719-722) . Each fragment was assembled and cloned in an E. Coli cloning and sequencing vector. Sequence analysiε of these cloned fragmentε waε performed to confirm the correctneεε of the εequence of each fragment. Then all of the fragmentε were aεsembled and cloned in the vector pUBHO (Lacey,R.W. , Chopra,J. (1974) , Genetic studies of a multiresistant strain of Staphylococcuε aureus, J. Med.Microbiol. 7, 285-297) and brought into B. subtilis DB105 (Kawamura,F. , Doi, R.H. (1984) , Conεtruction of a Bacilluε εubtiliε double mutant deficient in extracellular alkaline and neutral proteases , J.Bacteriol. 160 (2) , 442- 444) . Transcrip¬ tion of the gene was initiated by the Hpall promotor of the pUBHO plasmid vector (Zyprian,E., Matzura,H. (1986), Charac- terization of signalε promoting gene expresεion on the Staphv- lococcus aureus plasmid pUBHO and development of a Gram-posi¬ tive expression vector system, DNA 5 (3) , 219-225) . In the process of the gene construction it turned out that the longest fragment (#5; 313 basepairs long) needed further fragmentation (fragmentε #8 and #9) in order to avoid problemε with the assembly of thiε rather long fragment. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence differs ' from the earlier published subtiliεin Carls¬ berg εequence at positions 129, 157, 161 and 212 (Smith,E.L., DeLange,R.J. , Evans,W.H., Landon,W. , Markland,F.S. (1968), Subtilisin Carlsberg V. The complete εequence: compariεon with εubtiliεin BPN 1 ; evolutionary relationships. , J.Biol.Chem. 243 (9) , 2184-2191) . A fifth alteration reported by Jacobs et al (1985) could not be confirmed in the clone of the Carlεberg gene described here. COMPUTATION OF ISOELECTRIC POINT pl The calculation of the iεoelectric point of the subtiliεin 309 wild type enzyme (S000) iε exemplified below in order to demonεtrate the procedure uεed. The εame procedure iε of course applicable to the computation of any enzyme, whether it being a mutant enzyme or not. pK values were assigned to each potentially charged amino acid residue (Tyr, Asp, Glu, Cyε, Arg, His, Lys, N- terminal, C-terminal, Ca 2+ ) . In this case the environment was taken into consideration, whereby different pK values are used for the same amino acid residue dependent on its neighbours. The assigned values are indicated in Table II. Then the ratio of the occurrence of an amino acid residue at a given pH in charged or uncharged form (char¬ ged/uncharged, C/U(i)) was calculated for both negative and positive charge, by using the formulae la and lb, respec¬ tively. In Table II thiε ratio is only indicated for pH equal to pi . Subsequently the relative charge, Q r (i) , or charge contribution allocated to each charged residue was calculated by using the formulae Ila and lib: The pH value where the sum of all the charge contri- butions from the charged residues is equal to zero was found by iteration. Table II Calculation of isoelectric point for: S000 Subtilisin 309 Number of C/U(i) * Q r (i) Q r (i) Q p (i) Residue pK Residue pH 8.3 pH 10.0 pH=pI 0 Net charge 4.75 0.27 0.0 The calculated iεoelectric point iε 10.06 * E-02 = 10 "2 Aε indicated above and in Table II the pK value asεigned to each amino acid was different taking local varia¬ tions in the environment into consideration. This only results in an enhanced precision in the calculation, but experience has shown that constant estimated pK values are helpful in showing in what direction the pl 0 for a given mutant enzyme will move in comparison to the pl 0 of the parent enzyme. This is indi- cated in Table III, where pi values for estimated pK values are indicated. In order to compare various enzymes and mutant enzymes washing teεtε described in detail below have been performed. In Table III below resultε from these tests using parent enzyme and mutant enzymes from subtiliεin 309 (designated SOOO, etc.) and subtilisin Carlεberg (designated COOO, etc.) have been tabulated in order to demonεtrate the correlation between pi and waεh performance at different pH valueε of the wash liquor uεed. In the washing teεts a low salt liquid detergent formula¬ tion of pH 8.3 according to detergent example D7, and a normal salt powder detergent of pH 10.2 according to detergent example D2 were used. In Table III the results are indicated as relative results compared to the wild type enzymes (SOOO and COOO, respectively) . Alεo, calculated and observed pl 0 s for the enzymes are indicated. From Table III it is seen that shifting the pl 0 to lower values (S-serieε) provides for an improvement in waεh performance at low pH (pH=8.3) , whereaε an upward shift in pl 0 (C-serieε) provides for an improvement in wash performance at high pH (pH=10.2) . The concept of isoelectric point has thuε been found to be very useful in selecting the positions of the amino acids in the parent enzyme should be changed. It has generally been found that mutations should be performed in codons corresponding to amino acids situated at or near to the surface of the enzyme molecule thereby retai¬ ning the internal structure of the parent enzyme aε much as possible. PURIFICATION OF SUBTILISINS The procedure relates to a typical purification of a 10 litre scale fermentation of the Subtilisin 147 enzyme, the Subtilisin 309 enzyme or mutants thereof. Approximately 8 litres of fermentation broth were centrifuged at 5000 rp for 35 minutes in 1 litre beakers. The supernatants were adjusted to pH 6.5 using 10% acetic acid and filtered on Seitz Supra S100 filter plates. The filtrates were concentrated to approximately 400 ml uεing an Amicon CH2 UF unit equipped with an Amicon S1Y10 UF cartridge. The UF concentrate was centrifuged and filtered prior to absorption at room temperature on a Bacitracin affinity column at pH 7. The protease was eluted from the Bacitracin column at room temperature using 25% 2-propanol and 1 M sodium chloride in a buffer solution with 0.01 dime- thylglutaric acid, 0.1 M boric acid and 0.002 M calcium chloride adjusted to pH 7. The fractions with protease activity from the Ba¬ citracin purification step were combined and applied to a 750 ml Sephadex G25 column (5 cm dia.) equilibrated with a buffer containing 0.01 dimethylglutaric acid, 0.2 M boric acid and 0.002 m calcium chloride adjusted to pH 6.5. Fractions with proteolytic activity from the Sephadex G25 column were combined and applied to a 150 ml CM Sepharose CL 6B cation exchange column (5 cm dia.) equilibrated with a buffer containing 0.01 M dimethylglutaric acid, 0.2 M boric acid, and 0.002 M calcium chloride adjusted to pH 6.5. The proteaεe was eluted using a linear gradient of 0- 0.1 M sodium chloride in 2 litres of the εame buffer (0-0.2 M sodium chloride in case of sub 147) . In a final purification step protease containing fractions from the CM Sepharose column were combined and concentrated in an Amicon ultrafiltration cell equipped with a GR81PP membrane (from the Danish Sugar Factories Inc.). Subtilisin 309 and mutants Gly 195 Glu (G195E (S001) ) : Arg 170 Tyr (R170Y (S003)) : Arg 170 Tyr + Gly 195 Glu (R170Y+G195E (S004)): Lyε 251 Glu (K251E (S005) ) : His 120 Aεp (H120D (S006) ) : Arg 170 Tyr + Gly 195 Glu + Lyε 251 Glu (R170Y+G195E+K251E (S012)) : Lyε 235 Leu (K235L (S015) ) : His 120 Aεp + Gly 195 Glu + Lys 235 Leu (H120D+G195E+ K235L (S017) ) : His 120 Asp 1- Arg 170 Tyr + Gly 195 Glu + Lyε 235 Leu (H120D+R170Y+G195E+K235L (S019) ) : Hiε 120 Aεp + Arg 170 Tyr + Gly 195 Glu + Lyε 235 Leu + Lyε 251 Glu (H120D+R170Y+G195E+K235L+K251E (S020) : were purified by this procedure. PURIFICATION OF (MUTANT) SUBTILISIN CARLSBERG PROTEASES Fermentation media were either directly applied on a bacitracin affinity column (5 cm diam * 15 cm; equilibrated with 10 mM Triε/HCl buffer pH 7.9; flow rate approx. 500 ml/h) or concentrated to 500 ml by meanε of a Nephroεε Andante H.F. dialyzer (Organon Technika) uεing a back preεεure of 10-12 p.ε.i. and demineralized water in the outer circuit. In the latter case the protease was precipitated from the concentrate by adding 600 g/1 ammonium sulphate. The precipitate was collected by means of centrifugation and redisεolved in approx. 500 ml demineralized water. The ammonium εulphate waε removed from the proteaεe εolution using the same dialyzer as described above. The final volume was approx. 300 ml, while the pH was adjusted to pH 6.0. The protease was eluted from the bacitracin columns (mentioned above) using a 10 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.9) containing 2.7 M NaCl and 18% isopropanol. After dialysiε of bacitracin-purified or concentrated proteaεe material further purification was accompliεhed by application on a CM-Trisacryl ion exchange column (5 cm. diam * 15 cm; equilibrated with 0.03M sodium phoεphate pH 6.0) using a flow rate of 200 ml/h. The protease was eluted from the column with a linear gradient from 0 to 0.3 M NaCl (2 * 500 ml) in the phosphate buffer. Fractions containing protease activity were pooled and stored at -20°C in the presence of buffer salts after freeze-drying. OLIGONUCLEOTIDE SYNTHESIS All mismatch primers were synthesized on an Applied Bioεystems 380 A DNA synthesizer and purified by polyacryl- amide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) . ASSAY FOR PROTEOLYTIC ACTIVITY The proteolytic activity of the mutant enzymeε waε assayed in order to determine how far the catalytic activity of the enzyme was retained. The determinations were performed by the dimethyl casein (DMC) method described in NOVO Public¬ ation AF 220-gb (or later editions) , available from Novo-Nordisk a/ε, Bagsvaerd, Denmark, which publication iε hereby included by reference. ASSAYS FOR WASH PERFORMANCE A: Teεt clothε (2.2cm x 2.2cm), approximately 0.1 g) were produced by passing deεized cotton (100% cotton, DS 71) cloth through the veεsel in a Mathis Washing and Drying Unit type TH (Werner Mathis AG, Zurich, Switzerland) containing grasε juice. Finally the cloth was dried in a strong air stream at room temperature, stored at room temperature for 3 weeks, and subsequently kept at -18° C prior to use. All tests were performed in a model miniwash system. In this syεtem 6 test cloths are washed in a 150 ml beaker containing 60 ml of detergent solution. The beakers are kept in a thermostat water bath at 30° C with magnetic stirring. As detergent the following standard liquid detergent was used: AE, Berol 160 15% LAS, Naεa 1169/P 10% Coconut fatty acid 9% Oleic acid 1% Triethanolamine 9% Glycerol 10.5% Ethanol 1.5% Tri•Na • Citrat • 2H 2 0 8% CaCl-2H 2 0 0.1% NaOH 1% Water from LAS 23.3% Water from glycerol 1.5% Water added 34.9% The percentages given are the percentage of active content. pH waε adjusted with 1 N NaOH to 8.14. The water used was ca. 6° dH (German Hardness) . Testε were performed at enzyme concentrationε of: 0, 1.0 mg enzyme protein/1 and 10.0 mg enzyme protein/1, and two independent sets of tests were performed for each of the mutants. The results shown in the following are means of these testε. The waεhingε were performed for 60 minuteε, and subsequent to the waεhing the cloths were flushed in running tap-water for 25 minutes in a bucket. The cloths were then air-dried overnight (protected against daylight) and the remission, R, determined on an ELREPHO 2000 photometer from Datacolor S.A., Dietkikon, Switzerland at 460 nm. As a measure of the wash performance differential remission, delta R, was used being equal to the remission after wash with enzyme added minus the remission after wash with no enzyme added. B: The waεh performance of various mutantε waε teεted againεt grasε juice εtained cotton cloths according to the method described above. 2.0 g/1 of a commercial US liquid detergent was used. The detergent was dissolved in a 0,005 M ethanola- mine buffer in ion-exchanged water. pH was adjusted to pH 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and ll.o respectively with NaOH/HCl. The temperature was kept at 30° C isothermic for 10 min. The mutantε were doεed at 0.25 mg enzyme protein/1 each. C: Washing testε using the detergent compoεitionε exemplified in the detergent examples below were performed in a mini waεher utilizing cotton based test cloths containing pigmentε, fat, and protein (casein) . The conditionε were: a) 2 g/1 detergent D3 in 6°fH (French hardneεs) water at pH 8.3, or b) 5 g/1 detergent D2 in 15°fH water at pH 10.2. After rinsing and drying reflection at 460 nm was measured. The improvement factor was calculated from a dose-re- εponεe curve, and relates to the amount of enzyme needed for obtaining a given delta R value in compariεon to the wild type enzyme in question (SOOO and COOO) , meaning that an improvement factor of 2 indicates that only half the amount of enzyme is needed to obtain the εame delta R value. The results of these tests are shown in Table III above. D: Experimental tests of lipase stability were carried out for example using the following materialε: 1 LU/ml Pseudomonas cepacia lipaεe waε incubated in waεh liquor of each of two types, 0 and W (described below) . Aliquots were taken at intervals and tested for lipaεe activity. Parallel incubations were carried out without protease or with proteaεe of variouε types as noted below, to test the effect of the protease on the retention of lipase activity. Wild-type proteases were tested at 20 GU/ml, mutated proteaseε were teεted at 0.5 microgram/ml.

Gapped duplex mutagenesis was performed using the plasmidε pSX93, pSX119, and pSX120 aε templates. pSX93 is shown in Figure 3 and is pUC13 (Vieira, J. and Mesεing, J.: 1982, Gene 19: 259-268) harbouring an 0.7 kb Xbal-Hindlll fragment of the εubtiliεin 309 gene including the terminator inεerted in the polylinker. For the introduction of mutationε in the N-terminal part of the enzyme the plaεmid pSX119 was used. pSX119 is pUC13 harbouring an EcoRI-Xbal fragment of the subtilisin 309 gene inserted into the polylinker. The templates pSX 93 and pSX119 thus cover the whole of the subtiliεin 309 gene. Plasmid pSX120 iε a plasmid where the Hpal-Hindlll fragment with the subtiliεin 309 gene from pSX88 iε inserted into EcoRV-Hindlll on pDN 1681, in a way whereby the proteaεe gene is expressed by the amy M and amy Q promotorε. pDN 1681 is obtained from pDN 1380 (Diderichsen, B. and Chriεtiansen, L. : 1988, FEMS Microbiology Letters 56: 53-60) with an inser- ted 2.85 bp Clal fragment from B. amyloliquefaciens carrying the amy Q gene with promotor (Takkinen et al. : 1983, J. Biol. Chem. 258: 1007ff.). The construction of pSX120 is outlined in Fig. 1, showing that pDN1681 is cut with EcoR5 and Hindlll, and pSX88 with Hindlll and Hpal, whereafter ligation resultε in pSX120 regulated by the amy M and amy Q promotors. Four further plaεmids pSX170, pSX172, pSX173, and pSX186 were constructed for gapped duplex mutagenesiε of the εubtiliεin 309 gene: -pSX170: Sphl-Kpnl, 700 bp from pSX120 inεerted into pUC 19 Sphl-Kpnl, from amino acid residue 170 in mature subtilisin 309 to terminator. -pSX172: EcoRI-Sphl, 1360 bp from pSX120 inserted into pUC 19 EcoRI-Sphl, from the promoter to amino acid residue 170 in mature subtilisin 309. -pSX173: like pSX170, but with G195E. -pSX186: PvuII-EcoRI, 415 bp from pSX120 inserted into pUC 19 HincI-EcoRI, from amino acid residue 15 to amino acid residue 206 in mature subtilisin 309. Figure 2 shows a somewhat detailed restriction map of pSX120 on which it is indicated which fragmentε were uεed for the construction of plasmids pSX170, pSX172, pSX173, and pSX186. The mutation a) waε performed by cutting pSX93 with Xbal and Clal aε indicated in Figure 3 and deεcribed in the section "GENERATION OF SITE DIRECTED MUTATIONS IN THE SUBTILI¬ SIN GENE" and in unpublished International Patent Application no. PCT/DK 88/00002 (NOVO INDUSTRI A/S) Mutations b) , d) and e) were performed corresponding¬ ly by cutting pSX170 by Sphl and Kpnl. Mutations f) and g) were performed as above, but with pSX173 in stead of pSX170. Mutation c) was performed correspondingly by cutting pSX186 by Pstl and EcoRI. The mutationε h) to o) were constructed by combining DNA fragmentε with εingle or double mutations b) to g) using the restriction siteε Nhel, Xbal, Clal, Avail, and Kpnl aε appropriate. Further mutants were produced uεing εimilar methodε or general methodε as known from the literature. SUBTILISIN CARLSBERG MUTANTS For certain examples of mutations in subtiliεin Carlεberg mentioned in this εpecification the following changeε in the nucleotide εequence of the gene were introduced: Asp 14 Lys (D14K (C001) ) (GAT -> AAG) Asp 120 Lys (D120K (C002)) (GAT -> AAA) Asp 140 Lys (D140K (C003)) (GAC -> AAA) Asp 14 Lys + Asp 120 Lys (D14K+D120K (C004)) Lys 27 Asp (K27D (C005) ) (AAA -> GAT) Lyε 27 Asp + Asp 120 Lys (K27D+D120K (C006) ) Asp 172 Lys (D172K (C008) ) (GAC -> AAA) Asp 14 Lys + Aεp 120 Lys + Asp 140 Lys + Asp 172 Lys (D14K+D120K+D140K+D172K (C010) ) Val 51 Aεp (V51D (C100) ) Glu 54 Thr (E54T (C101) ) (GGG -> ACA) Glu 54 Tyr (E54Y (C102) ) (GGG -> TAT) These changeε were introduced by changing the corre¬ sponding oligos in the fragmentε concerned. The correctneεs of the new εequenceε waε confirmed after which the original oligoε were replaced by these new εequenceε and aεεembled into new DNA 5 fragmentε. Finally the fragments were re-aεsembled into the new subtiliεin Carlεberg gene. EXPRESSION OF MUTANT SUBTILISINS Subsequent to sequence confirmation of the correct 10 mutation the mutated DNA fragments were inserted into plasmid pSX92 or pSX120, which were used for producing the mutants. Plaεmid pSX92 is shown in Figure 4 and was produced by cloning the Sub 309 gene into plasmid pSX62 cut at Clal, filled in with the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I and cut 15 with Hindlll prior to the insertion of the fragments Dral-Nhel and Nhel-Hindlll from the cloned Sub 309 gene. To expresε the mutantε the mutated fragmentε (Xbal- Clal, Xbal-Hindlll, or EcoRI-Xbal) were excised from the appropriate mutation plasmid pSX93, pSX119, pSX170, pSX172, 20 pSX173, and pSX186, respectively, and inεerted into pSX92, or pSX120 to obtain plasmids capable of expreεεing the various mutants. The mutated pSX92 or pSX120 were then used to trans¬ form B. subtilis DN497. 25 The transformed cellε were then spread on LB agar plates with 10 mM phosphate, pH 7, 6μg/ml chloramphenicol, and 0.2% xylose to induce the xyn-promoter in the plasmid. The plates also contained 1% skim milk so the protease producing transformants could be detected by the clear halo where the 30 skim milk had been degraded. After appropriate growth the mutated enzymeε were recovered and purified. FERMENTATION OF THE SUBTILISIN CARLSBERG SPECIES 35 In order to produce protεaεe enzyme on the baεiε of the microorganisms carrying mutant genes for BPN' as described above, a Rushton-type Chemoferm fermenter waε generally uεed with an eight flat blade impeller and a working volume of 8 litres. The fermenter configuration was prepared conform to the safety regulationε for VMT and conεisted of: a) A presεure controller (type 4-3122, Bell & Howell) cutting off air supply above 0.1 bar overpresεure. Thiε iε done to prevent clogged exhauεt air filters. b) A foam trap on the gas outlet made from a 20 1 suction vessel having anti-foam on the bottom. c) A cooling water jacket without seals in order to prevent contamination of the cooling water or tap- water drain. d) An absolute exhaust filter is used (Gelman aero 50, 0.45 micron) . e) Sampling via a sampling pump device with a εmall internal volume. Controlε Gas flows were controlled using masε-flow meters (Brookε, type 5852, range 0-10 1) . pH waε controlled using a Hartmann and Braun tranε- mitter and a Philips controller (Witromat) . Concentrated NaOH (3M) was used as a neutralizer. Exhaust gases were analyzed uεing a Unor 4N (C02) and an Oxygor 7N (02) from Maihak, Westinghouse. Oxygen tenεion in the medium was determined using an industrial polarographic sterilizable oxygen probe (Ingold type 322756702) . The medium temperature waε monitored using a PT100 sensor and a Honeywell temperature controller (class 84) . Foaming was kept at an acceptable level using a contact electrode, while a level switch activated an anti-foam dosage pump. All external controls were put under the control of a Hewlett Packard microcomputer (HP220) . Cultivation conditions The inocula were prepared by incubating a shake flask culture at 30°C for 16h at 250 rpm in a rotary shaker (LH fermentation, type MKx) . 300 ml inoculum was used for 8L medium being conditioned at the actual fermentation conditions (pH 7.0, 30°C, air flow 3.5 1/min, stirrer 1000-1500 rpm). Diεεolved oxygen concentration waε kept 25% above air satura¬ tion. Anti foaming agent used was a silicon oil based mate¬ rial (Rhodorsil R426, Rhone Poulenc) . Production of subtiliεin proteaεe The (mutant) proteases were produced using the B. subtiliε DB105 strain containing the mutant gene as described under gene conεtruction. The culture medium consists of : 8 g/1 NH4C1; 4 g/1 KH2P04; 4 g/1 K2HP04 ; 2 g/1 NaCl; 1 g/1 MgS04.2H20; 10 g/1 yeast extract; 40 g/1 sucrose;; pH 7.0 and sterilized 45 min at 120°C. After sterilization 25 mg/1 tryptophan; 20 mg/1 Neomycin were added. Fermentations were stopped after 20 - 30 hours. The media were cleared from cells by centrifugation. PROTEOLYTIC ACTIVITY OF MUTANT SUBTILISINS The proteolytic activity of various mutants was tested against casein as protein εubεtrate, according to the DMC method upra. The reεultε are presented in Table IV. From the table it is seen that mutant (S005) exhibits a slightly enhanced activity compared to the parent (SOOO) , whereaε the remaining mutantε exhibit a slightly decreaεed activity. TABLE IV Proteolytic Activity of Mutant Subtiliεinε Mutant Relative Activity None (SOOO) 100 S001 95 S003 90 5004 85 5005 105 5006 100 S012 80 S017 90 5019 70 5020 75 S024 70 WASH PERFORMANCE OF MUTANT SUBTILISINS A: The waεh performance of variouε mutantε in the standard liquid Detergent of pH 8.14 waε tested in a model εyεtem againεt graεε juice according to the methodε detailed εupra. The reεults are presented in table V. Table V Delta R values: Mutant Enzyme Concentration SOOO S001 S003 S004 S012 S019 S020 From the table it is seen that all of the tested mutants exhibited improved or equal wash performance compared to the wild type parent enzyme. The wash performance of the mutantε S019 and S020 iε improved εo that 1.0 mg/1 of theεe enzymeε roughly εtated εhould be able to replace .10.0 mg/1 of the wild type parent enzyme, thereby indicating a substantial improvement in the waεh performance for the mutant enzymes of the invention. B: The reεultε from tests of some of the enzyme variants of the invention in the modified commercial US liquid deter¬ gent at various pH values in a model system are shown in Table VI. The results show clearly, that shifting the pi of an enzyme in a direction where it is desired to shift the pH optimum for the wash performance of the enzyme to approach the pH of the wash liquor improves the wash performance of the enzyme. D: The wash performance of various mutants was tested against grass juice stained cotton cloths according to the method described in Assay A. 2.0 g/1 of a liquid detergent (Detergent D3) was used. The detergent was dissolved in ion-exchanged water. pH was adjusted to 9.1 with NaOH/HCl. The temperature was kept at 20°C isothermic for 10 min. The mutants was dosed at 0.25; 0.5; 1.0; 2.0; 5.0; and 10.0 mg enzyme protein/1 each. The stability of the mutants tested was determined by measuring the denaturation temperature (maximum excesε heat capacity) by differential εcanning calorimetry, DSC. The heating rate waε 0.5°C/min. The stability was tested in a solution containing approx. 2 g/ml of the mutant in 91% standard liquid detergent, the compoεition of which iε deεcribed in Aεεay A. The εolution waε made by mixing 100 μl of enzyme εolution (approx. 20 mg enzyme/ml in a buffer of 0.01 M dimethylglutaric acid, 0.002 M CaCl 2 , 0.2 M H-.BO 3 and 0-0.1 M NaCl pH 6.5) with 1000 μl standard liquid detergent. Within the group of Subtilisin 309 mutants stability reεultε obtained by DSC are consiεtent with εtability results obtained by traditional storage stability tests. Reεults The wash performance of various mutants in liquid detergent is preεented in Table VII. The reεultε are shown as improvement factors relative to the wild type parent enzyme. The improvement factor is defined as in Assay C. Also shown in Table VII is the denaturation tempera¬ ture in standard liquid detergent by DSC, and the difference between the denaturation temperature of the wild type patent enzyme and that of the mutant in guestion. Table VII From Table VII it is seen that all of the tested mutants exhibit improved wash performance compared to the wild type parent enzyme. The best wash performance is achieved by the mutants having pl 0 equal to or just below the pH of the wash solution. Denaturation temperature by DSC shows that the stability of the single mutants S 021 (*36D) and S 201 (N76D) is increased by 4.0°C and 4.2°C respectively relative to the wild type parent enzyme. Among the mutations that are incorporated in one or more of the mutants listed in Table VII it has been shown that the mutations R170Y and K251E destabilize the mutant relative to the wild type parent enzyme, whereas the mutations H120D, G195E and K235L iε indifferent with reεpect to εtability. It iε εeen from Table VII that mutantε containing one destabilizing mutation are destabilized, even in cases, where a stabilizing mutation iε included. The stabilizing effects of *36D and N76D are additive. This is shown by the mutants S 025 and S 035. S 025 contains three mutationε which are indifferent to εtability and the εtabilizing mutation *36D. The denaturation temperature for S 025 iε increaεed by 3.9°C relative to the wild type parent enzyme, which is equal to the increase measured for the single mutant *36D, S 021. S 035 contains the same mutation N76D. The denaturation temperature for S 035 is increased by 7.3°C relative to the wild type parent enzyme, which, within experimental error, iε equal to the εum of the increase measured for the εingle mutants *36D, S 021 and N76D, S 201. E: The wash performance of three mutants was tested against grasε juice εtained cotton cloth according to the method described in Asεay A. 2.0 g/1 of liquid detergent D3 waε used. The detergent was dissolved in ion-exchanged water. pH waε adjuεted to 9.1 with NaOH/HCl. The temperature waε kept at 30°C iεothermic for 10 min. The mutantε were doεed at 1.0 and 10.0 mg enzyme protein/1 each. Reεults The wash performance of three mutants in commercial US-liquid detergent was teεted against grass juice. The results are shown in Table VIII. Delta R valueε: Enzyme concentration Mutant 1.0 mg/1 10.0 mg/1 S 000 4.5 13.6 S 003 9.4 18.0 S 004 13.7 18.1 S 006 6.0 15.6 From Table VIII it iε εeen that all of the mutants exhibit improved waεh performance relative to the wild type parent enzyme. It iε further seen that the beεt performance is achieved by the mutant having pl 0 closest to the pH of the waεh εolution. The waεh performance of two mutantε was tested againεt graεs juice stained cotton cloth according to the conditionε described in Example E. Results The waεh performance of two mutants in detergent D3 was tested against grass juice stained cotton cloth. The resultε are shown in Table IX. Delta R values: Enzyme concentration Mutant 1.0 mg/1 10.0 mg/1 S 000 5.8 15.3 S 015 8.4 20.0 S 017 17.0 20.8 From Table IX it is seen that all of the mutants exhibit improved wash performance relative to the wild type parent enzyme. It is further seen that the beεt performance is achieved by the mutant having pl 0 cloεest to the pH of the waεh solution. G : The waεh performance of variouε mutants waε tested on grasε juice εtained cotton cloth according to the method described in Aεεay A. 2.0 g/1 of detergent D3 was used. The detergent waε diεεolved in buffer (0,0025 M Boric acid and 0,001 M diεodium hydrogen phosphate prepared in ion exchanged water) . pH waε adjuεted to 7.0 , 8.0 , 9.0 , and 10.0 reεpectively with NaOH/HCl. The temperature was kept at 30°C iεothermic for 10 min. The mutants were dosed at 0,2 mg enzyme protein/1 each. Results: The waεh performance of some of the enzyme variantε of the invention at various pH values in a model εyεtem are εhown in table X. The reεults in Table X show clearly, that shifting the pi of a protease towards the pH of the wash liquor improves the wash performance of the protease. The resultε alεo show, that all variants tested have improved performance compared to the wild type parent enzyme at pH below 10.0. H: The wash performance of various mutantε was tested on grasε juice stained cotton cloths according to the method described in Assay A. 2.0 g/1 of liquid detergent D3 was used. The detergent was dissolved in 0,005 M glycine prepared in ion- exchanged water). pH was adjusted to 10.0, 10.25 , 10.50 , 10.75 , 11.0 , 11.5 , and 12.0, respectively, with NaOH. The temperature was kept at 30°C isothermic for 10 minutes. The mutants were dosed at 0,2 mg enzyme protein/1 each. Results: The wash performance of some of the enzyme variants of the invention at various pH values in a model εyεtem are shown in table XI. In this case variants with slightly higher pi than the wild type parent enzyme was investigated. The pH range from pH 10.0 to 12.0 is investigated in more details than in prior examples. The data in Table XI show, that at high pH valueε maximum performance is achieved at pH valueε a little above the calculated pi. Still increasing the pi of the protease tends to increase the pH of maximum performance. The effectε are not aε pronounced as it iε εeen at low pH valueε (aεεay B and G) . I: In order to viεualize the correlation between isoelectric point of the protease and the pH at which the protease has itε maximum performance, the results from examples B, G, and H are used to find the pH at which each of the inveεtigated variants (and the wild type parent enzyme) has its maximum performance. In Figure 5 thiε pH is shown max as a function of the calculated pi . 0 Taking into account, that the pH range is inveεti¬ gated in εteps of 1.0 pH value the correlation is obviouε. Concerning the combination of the mutantε of the invention with lipaεe experimental reεults led to the following practical conclusions: Lipase was stable for an hour in wash liquor of type O at 37°C. The presence of Savinase ® led to rapid deactivation. Kazusase ® led to εubstantially leεε inactivation of lipaεe over the period of the teεt. Proteinaεe K waε seen to be lesε aggreεεive to lipaεe than Savinase ® , but more so than Kazusaεe ® . Subtiliεin BPN 1 did not however inactivate lipaεe at all under theεe condi¬ tions. Preferred proteaseε for uεe e.g. in connection with lipaεe in wash compositionε represented by type O, are mutantε S001, S003, S004, S012, S019, S020, S021, S025, S035, S235. Type 0 wash liquor was a 5 g/1 solution at 37°C derived from the following detergent formulation (% by wt) : anionic εurfactant 6 nonionic εurfactant 5 fatty acid 2.8 acrylic polymer 3 zeolite 22 carbonate 10 εulphate 17.5 clay 8 tertiary amine 2 perborate monohydrate 13 minors and water to 100. A preferred protease for use e.g. in connection with lipase in wash compositionε repreεented by type W, iε mutant S020, S021, S025, S035, S235. Type W waεh liquor was a 2 g/1 εolution of a liquid detergent having the following formulation (% by wt) : anionic εurfactant 16 nonionic surfactant 7 hydrotrope 6 citric acid 6.5 NaOH 4.1 monoethanolamine 2 minorε and water to 100.
