     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present disclosure generally relates to glycosyl hydrolase enzyme variants, particularly variants of certain oxidoreductases of glycosyl hydrolase family 61. Nucleic acids encoding the glycosyl hydrolyase variants, compositions including the glycosyl hydrolase variants, methods of producing the variants, and methods of using the variants are also described. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Cellulose and hemicellulose are the most abundant plant materials produced by photosynthesis. They can be degraded and used as an energy source by numerous microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast and fungi, that produce extracellular enzymes capable of hydrolysis of the polymeric substrates to monomeric sugars (Aro et al., 2001). As the limits of non-renewable resources approach, the potential of cellulose to become a major renewable energy resource is enormous (Krishna et al., 2001). The effective utilization of cellulose through biological processes is one approach to overcoming the shortage of foods, feeds, and fuels (Ohmiya et al., 1997). 
     Cellulases are enzymes that hydrolyze cellulose (beta-1,4-glucan or beta D-glucosidic linkages) resulting in the formation of glucose, cellobiose, cellooligosaccharides, and the like. Cellulases have been traditionally divided into three major classes: endoglucanases (EC 3.2.1.4) (“EG”), exoglucanases or cellobiohydrolases (EC 3.2.1.91) (“CBH”), and beta-glucosidases ((β-D-glucoside glucohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.21) (“BG”). (Knowles et al., 1987; Shulein, 1988). Endoglucanases act mainly on the amorphous parts of the cellulose fiber, whereas cellobiohydrolases are also able to degrade crystalline cellulose (Nevalainen and Penttila, 1995). Beta-glucosidase acts to liberate D-glucose units from cellobiose, cellooligosaccharides, and other glucosides (Freer, 1993). 
     Cellulases are known to be produced by a large number of bacteria, yeast and fungi. Certain fungi produce a complete cellulase system capable of degrading crystalline forms of cellulose, such that the cellulases are readily produced in large quantities via fermentation. 
     Filamentous fungi play a special role since many yeast, such as  Saccharomyces cerevisiae,  lack the ability to hydrolyze cellulose. (See, e.g., Aro et al., 2001; Aubert et al., 1988; Wood et al., 1988, and Coughlan, et al.) 
     The fungal cellulase classifications of CBH, EG and BG can be further expanded to include multiple components within each classification. For example, multiple CBHs, EGs and BGs have been isolated from a variety of fungal sources including  Trichoderma reesei  which contains known genes for 2 CBHs, e.g., CBH I (also known as Cel7A or glycosyl hydrolase family (GH)7A) and CBH II (also known as Cel6A or GH6A), a number of EGs, e.g., EG I (also known as Cel7B or GH7B), EG II (also known as Cel5A or GH5A), EG III (also known as Cell 2A or GH12A), EGV (also known as Cel45A or GH45A), EGVI (also known as Cel74A or GH74A), EGVII (also known as Cel61B or GH61 b) and EGVII I, and a series of BGs, e.g., BG1, BG3, and BG5. 
     In order to efficiently convert crystalline cellulose to glucose, a complete cellulase system comprising components or enzymatic activities from each of the CBH, EG and BG classifications is typically required, with isolated components less effective in hydrolyzing crystalline cellulose (Filho et al., 1996). A synergistic relationship has been observed amongst cellulase components from different classifications. In particular, the EG-type cellulases and CBH-type cellulases synergistically interact to more efficiently degrade cellulose. (See, e.g., Wood, 1985.). 
     Cellulases are known in the art to be useful in the treatment of textiles for the purposes of enhancing the cleaning ability of detergent compositions, for use as a softening agent, for improving the feel and appearance of cotton fabrics, and the like (Kumar et al., 1997). 
     Cellulase-containing detergent compositions with improved cleaning performance (U.S. Pat. No. 4,435,307; GB App. Nos. 2,095,275 and 2,094,826) and for use in the treatment of fabric to improve the feel and appearance of the textile (US Pat. Nos. 5,648,263, 5,691,178, and 5,776,757; GB App. No. 1,358,599; The Shizuoka Prefectural Hammamatsu Textile Industrial Research Institute Report, Vol. 24, pp. 54-61, 1986), have been described. 
     Cellulases are further known in the art to be useful in the conversion of cellulosic feedstocks into ethanol. This process has a number of advantages, including the ready availability of large amounts of feedstock that is otherwise discarded (e.g., burning or land filling the feedstock). Other materials that consist primarily of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, e.g., wood, herbaceous crops, and agricultural or municipal waste, have been considered for use as feedstock in ethanol production. In recent years, new classes of glycosyl hydrolases have been identified that provide further auxiliary effects that enhance or augment the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic materials, although the mechanisms of action of many of these new auxiliary enzymes have not been fully elucidated. One such family of glycosyl hydrolases, which had earlier been annotated as GH61 family (see, e.g., Harris et al. “Stimulation of Lignocellulosic Biomass Hydrolysis by Proteins of Glycoside Hydrolase Family 61: Structure and Function of a Large, Enigmatic Family” Biochemistry 2010, vol. 49, pp. 3305-3316), had been repeatedly re-annotated, most recently to Auxiliary Activity (AA) Family 9 after the discovery that some family members are lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (Levasseur A. et al, “Expansion of the enzymatic repertoire of the CAZy database to integrate auxiliary redox enzymes” Biotechnol Biofuels 2013, vol 6, issue 1, pp. 41). At least two GH61 enzymes are present in the  T. reesei  (Saloheimo M., “cDNA cloning of a  Trichoderma reesei  cellulase and demonstration of endoglucanase activity by expression in yeast” Eur J Biochem. 1997 vol. 249, issue 2: pp. 584-91; Karlsson et al., Homologous expression and characterization of Cel61A (EG IV) of  Trichoderma reesei ” Eur. J. Biochem. 2001 vol. 268, pp. 6498-6507; Karkehabadi et al., “The first structure of a glycoside hydrolase family 61 member, Cel61 B from  Hypocrea jecorina,  at 1.6 A resolution” J Mol Biol. 2008, vol. 383 issue 1: pp 144-154; Martinez et al., “Genome sequencing and analysis of the biomass-degrading fungus  Trichoderma reesei  (syn.  Hypocrea jecorina )” Nature Biotechnology 2008, vol. 26, pp. 553-560). In the very recent past, it was reported that up to four more of these glycosyl hydrolases have been identified in the  Trichoderma reesei  genome (Häkkinen M. et al, “Re-annotation of the CAZy genes of  Trichoderma reesei  and transcription in the presence of lignocellulosic substrates” 2012, Microb Cell Fact. Vol 4, issue 11, pp. 134). 
     It would be an advantage in the art to provide a set of GH61 enzyme variants with improved capacity, when combined with one or more cellulases, and optionally also one or more hemicellulases, to augment the efficacy and efficiency of hydrolyzing lignocellulosic biomass substrates to monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Improved properties of the variant GH61 polypeptide include, but are not limited to: altered temperature-dependent activity profiles, thermostability, pH activity, pH stability, substrate specificity, product specificity, and chemical stability.

The host cell can be any cell that finds use in propagation of the GH61 variant polynucleotide and/or expression of the encoded GH61 variant, e.g., a bacterial cell, a fungal cell, etc. Examples of suitable fungal cell types that can be employed include filamentous fungal cells, e.g., cells of  Trichoderma reesei, Trichoderma longibrachiatum, Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma koningii, Trichoderma harzianum, Penicillium, Humicola, Humicola insolens, Humicola grisea, Chrysosporium, Chrysosporium lucknowense, Myceliophthora thermophila, Gliocladium, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Neurospora, Hypocrea, Emericella, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus awamori, Aspergillus aculeatus,  and  Aspergillus nidulans.  Alternatively, the fungal host cell can be a yeast cell, e.g.,  Saccharomyces cervisiae, Schizzosaccharomyces pombe, Schwanniomyces occidentalis, Kluveromyces lactus, Candida utilis, Candida albicans, Pichia stipitis, Pichia pastoris, Yarrowia lipolytica, Hansenula polymorpha, Phaffia rhodozyma, Arxula adeninivorans, Debaryomyces hansenii,  or  Debaryomyces polymorphus.    
     Aspects of the present invention include methods of producing a variant GH61 that includes culturing a host cell that contains a polynucleotide encoding the GH61 variant in a suitable culture medium under suitable conditions to express (or produce) the GH61 variant from the polynucleotide, e.g., where the polynucleotide encoding the GH61 variant is present in an expression vector (i.e., where the GH61 variant-encoding polynucleotide is operably linked to a promoter that drives expression of the GH61 variant in the host cell). In certain embodiments, the method further includes isolating the produced GH61 variant. 
     Aspects of the present invention also include compositions containing a GH61 variant as described herein. Examples of suitable compositions include, but are not limited to detergent compositions, feed additives, and compositions for treating (or hydrolyzing) a cellulosic substrate (e.g., a cellulose containing textile, e.g., denim; a cellulose containing biomass material, e.g., a mixture of lignocellulosic biomass material which has optionally been subject to pre-treatment of pre-hydrolysis processing, etc.). Compositions that include a GH61 variant as described herein and a cellulosic substrate represent further aspects of the present invention. GH61 variant-containing detergent compositions include laundry detergents and dish detergents, where such detergents may further include additional components, e.g., surfactants. Examples of suitable cellulosic substrates include, but are not limited to: grass, switch grass, cord grass, rye grass, reed canary grass, miscanthus, sugar-processing residues, sugarcane bagasse, agricultural wastes, rice straw, rice hulls, barley straw, corn cobs, cereal straw, wheat straw, canola straw, oat straw, oat hulls, corn fiber, stover, soybean stover, corn stover, forestry wastes, wood pulp, recycled wood pulp fiber, paper sludge, sawdust, hardwood, softwood, and combinations thereof. 
     Aspects of the present invention include methods for hydrolyzing a cellulosic substrate comprising contacting the substrate with a variant GH61 as described herein. In certain embodiments, the GH61 variant is provided as a cell-free composition, whereas in other embodiments, the GH61 variant is provided as a host cell composition in which the host cell expresses the GH61 variant. Thus, certain embodiments of the methods for hydrolyzing a cellulosic substrate contacting the substrate with a host cell containing a GH61 variant expression vector. In certain embodiments, the method is for converting a lignocellulosic biomass to glucose, where in some of these embodiments, the lignocellulosic biomass is selected, without limitation, from: grass, switch grass, cord grass, rye grass, reed canary grass, miscanthus, sugar-processing residues, sugarcane bagasse, agricultural wastes, rice straw, rice hulls, barley straw, corn cobs, cereal straw, wheat straw, canola straw, oat straw, oat hulls, corn fiber, stover, soybean stover, corn stover, forestry wastes, wood pulp, recycled wood pulp fiber, paper sludge, sawdust, hardwood, softwood, and combinations thereof. In certain other embodiments, the cellulosic substrate is a cellulosic-containing textile, e.g., denim, where in some of these embodiments the method is for treating indigo dyed denim (e.g., in a stonewashing process). 
     Aspects of the present invention include cell culture supernatant compositions that contain a GH61 variant as described herein. For example, a cell culture supernatant obtained by culturing a host cell that contains a polynucleotide encoding the GH61 variant in a suitable culture medium under suitable conditions to express the GH61 variant from the polynucleotide and secrete the GH61 variant into the cell culture supernatant. Such a cell culture supernatant can include other proteins and/or enzymes produced by the host cell, including endogenously- and/or exogenously-expressed proteins and/or enzymes. Such supernatant of the culture medium can be used as is, with minimum or no post-production processing, which may typically include filtration to remove cell debris, cell-kill procedures, and/or ultrafiltration or other steps to enrich or concentrate the enzymes therein. Such supernatants are referred to herein as “whole broths” or “whole cellulase broths”. 
     The GH61 variants can be produced by co-expression with one or more cellulases, and/or one or more hemicellulases. Alternatively, the GH61 variants can be produced without cellulases or hemicellulases. In the latter case, the GH61 variant optionally can be physically mixed with one or more cellulases and/or one or more hemicellulases to form an enzyme composition that is useful for a particular application, e.g., in hydrolyzing lignocellulosic biomass substrates. In a further embodiment the GH61 variants can be further co-expressed or physically mixed with one or more accessory enzymes. Known accessory enzymes include, for example, certain mannanases, which can sometimes be characterized as hemicellulases but more often are deemed accessory enzymes, galactanases, arabinases, ligninases, amylases, glucuronidases, proteases, esterases (e.g., ferulic acid esterases, acetyl xylan esterases, coumaric acid esterases, pectin methyl esterases), lipases, certain other GH61 family enzymes, xyloglucanases, CIP1, CIP1-like proteins, CIP2, CIP2-like proteins, swollenin, expansions, cellobiose hydrogenases, manganese peroxidases, and cellulose disrupting proteins, which may be, for example, cellulose binding modules. 
     Other compositions containing a desired variant GH61 enzyme, as well as methods for using such compositions, are also contemplated.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The invention will now be described in detail by way of reference only using the following definitions and examples. All patents and publications, including all sequences disclosed within such patents and publications, referred to herein are expressly incorporated by reference. 
     Unless defined otherwise herein, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Singleton, et al., D ICTIONARY OF  M ICROBIOLOGY AND  M OLECULAR  B IOLOGY,  3 RD  E D.,  John Wiley and Sons, Ltd., New York (2007), and Hale &amp; Marham, T HE  H ARPER  C OLLINS  D ICTIONARY OF  B IOLOGY,  Harper Perennial, NY (1991) provide one of skill with a general dictionary of many of the terms used in this invention. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, the preferred methods and materials are described. Numeric ranges are inclusive of the numbers defining the range. Unless otherwise indicated, nucleic acids are written left to right in 5′ to 3′ orientation; amino acid sequences are written left to right in amino to carboxy orientation. Practitioners are particularly directed to Green and Sambrook  Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual  (Fourth Edition), Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press 2012, and Ausubel F M et al., 1993, for definitions and terms of the art. It is to be understood that this invention is not limited to the particular methodology, protocols, and reagents described, as these may vary. 
     The headings provided herein are not limitations of the various aspects or embodiments of the invention which can be had by reference to the specification as a whole. Accordingly, the terms defined immediately below are more fully defined by reference to the specification as a whole. 
     All publications cited herein are expressly incorporated herein by reference for the purpose of describing and disclosing compositions and methodologies which might be used in connection with the invention. 
     I. Definitions 
     The term “amino acid sequence” is synonymous with the terms “polypeptide,” “protein,” and “peptide,” and are used interchangeably. Where such amino acid sequences exhibit activity, they may be referred to as an “enzyme.” The conventional one-letter or three-letter codes for amino acid residues are used, with amino acid sequences being presented in the standard amino-to-carboxy terminal orientation (i.e., N→C). 
     The term “nucleic acid” encompasses DNA, RNA, heteroduplexes, and synthetic molecules capable of encoding a polypeptide. Nucleic acids may be single stranded or double stranded, and may have chemical modifications. The terms “nucleic acid” and “polynucleotide” are used interchangeably. Because the genetic code is degenerate, more than one codon may be used to encode a particular amino acid, and the present compositions and methods encompass nucleotide sequences that encode a particular amino acid sequence. As such, the present invention contemplates every possible variant nucleotide sequence encoding GH61 or a variant thereof, all of which are possible given the degeneracy of the genetic code. Unless otherwise indicated, nucleic acid sequences are presented in 5′-to-3′ orientation. 
     “Cellulase” or “cellulase enzyme” means bacterial or fungal exoglucanases or exocellobiohydrolases, and/or endoglucanases, and/or β-glucosidases. These three different types of cellulase enzymes are known to act synergistically to convert cellulose and its derivatives to glucose. 
     “Endoglucanase” or “EG” or “EG enzyme” or “EG polypeptide,” as used herein is defined as an endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase which catalyzes the endohydrolysis of 1,4 β-D-glucosidic linkages in cellulose, lichenin and cereal β-D-glucans. In cellulose hydrolysis, this activity generates new chain ends that are substrates for CBH action. EGs will also hydrolyze 1,4-linkages in β-D-glucans that also contain 1,3-linkages. Certain EGs have been shown to act “processively” on crystalline cellulose [see, e.g., Wilson, D. B.  Three microbial strategies for plant cell wall degradation.  Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 2008, 1125, 289-297; and Li, Y, et al.  Increased crystalline cellulose activity via combinations of amino acid changes in the family  9  catalytic domain and family  3 c cellulose binding module of Thermobifida fusca  Cel9 A.  Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 2010, 76, 2582-2588]. 
     By “GH61” or “GH61 enzyme” and the like is meant an enzyme that belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 61 family, e.g., the glycosyl hydrolase 61 a (GH61A) family. The GH61 enzyme can be from a fungal cell, including filamentous fungus of the subdivision Eumycota or Oomycota. The filamentous fungi are characterized by vegetative mycelium having a cell wall composed of chitin, glucan, chitosan, mannan, and other complex polysaccharides, with vegetative growth by hyphal elongation and carbon catabolism that is obligately aerobic. A filamentous fungal parent cell may be a cell of a species of, but not limited to,  Trichoderma,  e.g.,  Trichoderma longibrachiatum, Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma koningii, Trichoderma harzianum; Penicillium  sp.;  Humicola  sp., including  Humicola insolens  and  Humicola grisea; Chrysosporium  sp., including  C. lucknowense; Myceliophthora  sp.;  Gliocladium  sp.;  Aspergillus  sp.;  Fusarium  sp.,  Neurospora  sp.,  Hypocrea  sp., e.g.,  Hypocrea jecorina,  and  Emericella  sp. As used herein, the term “ Trichoderma ” or “ Trichoderma  sp.” refers to any fungal strains which have previously been classified as  Trichoderma  or are currently classified as  Trichoderma.  In certain embodiments, a GH61 enzyme can be from a non-filamentous fungal cell. Examples of GH61A enzymes include those found in  Hypocrea jecorina  ( Trichoderma reesei ),  Hypocrea rufa, Hypocrea orientalis, Hypocrea atroviridis, Hypocrea virens, Emericella nidulans, Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus kawachii, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus clavatus, Gaeumannomyces graminis, Trichoderma saturnisporum, Neurospora tetrasperma, Neurospora crassa, Neosartorya fumigate, Neosartorya fumigate, Neosartorya fischeri, Thielavia terrestris,  and  Thielavia heterothallica.  In certain aspects, a GH61 enzyme comprises the amino acid sequence of any one of the mature GH61 enzyme sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs: 3, 72, 73, 74, 77, an amino acid sequence having at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 81° A, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identity thereto, an allelic variant thereof, or a fragment thereof that has cellulase augmenting activity. In certain embodiments, a GH61A enzyme has cellulase augmenting activity and contains an amino acid sequence that is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% identical to SEQ ID NO:3, or a fragment or derivative thereof having cellulase augmenting activity. 
     By “GH61 activity” or “GH61A activity” or “activity” when in reference to a GH61 enzyme is meant the cellulase augmenting activity that is characteristic of a GH61 family member. Specifically, GH61 enzymes demonstrate an improved capacity, when combined with certain cellulases, to augment the efficacy and efficiency of hydrolyzing lignocellulosic biomass substrates, e.g., to generate monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. 
     A “variant” of an enzyme, protein, polypeptide, nucleic acid, or polynucleotide as used herein means that the variant is derived from a parent polypeptide or parent nucleic acid (e.g., native, wildtype or other defined parent polypeptide or nucleic acid) that includes at least one modification or alteration as compared to that parent, where such modification or alteration is produced by human intervention. Thus, a variant may have a few mutations as compared to a parent, where by “a few” is meant from 1 to 10 mutations. For example, a variant having from 1 to 10 amino acid substitutions as compared to SEQ ID NO:3 can be referred to as a GH61 variant having a few substitutions. Alterations/modifications can include a substitution of an amino acid/nucleic acid residue in the parent for a different amino acid/nucleic acid residue at one or more sites, deletion of an amino acid/nucleic acid residue (or a series of amino acid/nucleic acid residues) in the parent at one or more sites, insertion of an amino acid/nucleic acid residue (or a series of amino acid/nucleic acid residues) in the parent at one or more sites, truncation of amino- and/or carboxy-terminal amino acid sequences or 5′ and or 3′ nucleic acid sequences, and any combination thereof. A variant GH61 enzyme (sometimes referred to as a “GH61 variant” or a “GH61A variant”) according to aspects of the invention retains cellulase augmenting activity but may have an altered property in some specific aspect, e.g., an improved property. For example, a variant GH61 enzyme may have an altered pH optimum, improved thermostability or oxidative stability, or a combination thereof, but will retain its characteristic cellulase augmenting activity. In certain embodiments, the variant GH61 enzyme is a variant of a GH61A enzyme as defined above and which has cellulase augmenting activity. In some aspects of the invention, a variant GH61A enzyme contains an amino acid sequence that is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% identical to SEQ ID NO:3, or an enzymatically active fragment thereof. 
     “Combinatorial variants” are variants comprising two or more mutations, e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or more, substitutions, deletions, and/or insertions. 
     A “parent” or “parental” polynucleotide, polypeptide, or enzyme sequence (e.g., a “parent GH61 enzyme”), or equivalents thereto, as used herein refers to a polynucleotide, polypeptide, or enzyme sequence that was used as a starting point or template for designing a variant polynucleotide, polypeptide, or enzyme. In certain embodiments, the parent enzyme is a GH61A enzyme as described above (e.g., SEQ ID NO:3). It is further noted that the words “parent” and “parental” are used interchangeably in this context. 
     The term “wild-type” refers to a naturally-occurring polypeptide or polynucleotide sequence, i.e., one that does not include a man-made variation. In some cases, a wild-type sequence is used as the parental sequence. 
     The term “heterologous” when used with reference to portions of a nucleic acid indicates that the nucleic acid comprises two or more subsequences that are not normally found in the same relationship to each other in nature. For instance, the nucleic acid is typically recombinantly produced, having two or more sequences, e.g., from unrelated genes arranged to make a new functional nucleic acid, e.g., a promoter from one source and a coding region from another source. Similarly, a heterologous polypeptide will often refer to two or more subsequences that are not found in the same relationship to each other in nature (e.g., a fusion polypeptide). 
     The term “recombinant” when used with reference, e.g., to a cell, or nucleic acid, polypeptide, or vector, indicates that the cell, nucleic acid, polypeptide or vector, has been modified by the introduction of a heterologous nucleic acid or polypeptide or the alteration of a native nucleic acid or polypeptide, or that the cell is derived from a cell so modified. Thus, for example, recombinant cells express genes that are not found within the native (non-recombinant) form of the cell or express native genes that are otherwise abnormally expressed, under expressed or not expressed at all. 
     The terms “isolated” or “purified” as used herein refer to a component that is removed from the environment in which it is naturally produced. In general, in an isolated or purified nucleic acid or polypeptide sample, the nucleic acid(s) or polypeptide(s) of interest are present at an increased absolute or relative concentration as compared to the environment in which they are naturally produced. 
     The term “enriched” when describing a component or material in a composition (e.g., a polypeptide or polynucleotide) means that the component or material is present at a relatively increased concentration in that composition as compared to the starting composition from which the enriched composition was generated. For example, an enriched GH61 composition (or sample) is one in which the relative or absolute concentration of GH61 is increased as compared to the initial fermentation product from the host organism. 
     As used herein, the terms “promoter” refers to a nucleic acid sequence that functions to direct transcription of a downstream gene. The promoter will generally be appropriate to the host cell in which the target gene is being expressed. The promoter, together with other transcriptional and translational regulatory nucleic acid sequences (also termed “control sequences”), are necessary to express a given gene. In general, the transcriptional and translational regulatory sequences include, but are not limited to, promoter sequences, ribosomal binding sites, transcriptional start and stop sequences, translational start and stop sequences, and enhancer or activator sequences. A “constitutive” promoter is a promoter that is active under most environmental and developmental conditions. An “inducible” promoter is a promoter that is active under environmental or developmental regulation. An example of an inducible promoter useful in the present invention is the  T. reesei  ( H. jecorina ) cbh1 promoter which is deposited in GenBank under Accession Number D86235. In another aspect the promoter is a cbh II or xylanase promoter from  H. jecorina.  Examples of suitable promoters include the promoter from the  A. awamori  or  A. niger  glucoamylase genes (Nunberg, J. H. et al. (1984) Mol. Cell. Biol. 4, 2306-2315; Boel, E. et al. (1984) EMBO J. 3, 158I-1585), the  Mucor miehei  carboxyl protease gene, the  H. jecorina  cellobiohydrolase I gene (Shoemaker, S. P. et al. (1984) European Patent Application No. EP0137280A1), the  A. nidulans  trpC gene (Yelton, M. et al. (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81, 1470-1474; Mullaney, E. J. et al. (1985) Mol. Gen. Genet. 199, 37-45) the  A. nidulans  alcA gene (Lockington, R. A. et al. (1986) Gene 33, 137-149), the  A. nidulans  tpiA gene (McKnight, G. L. et al. (1986) Cell 46, 143-147), the  A. nidulans  amdS gene (Hynes, M. J. et al. (1983) Mol. Cell Biol. 3, 1430-1439), the  H. jecorina  xln1 gene, the  H. jecorina  cbh2 gene, the  H. jecorina  eg1 gene, the  H. jecorina  eg2 gene, the  H. jecorina  eg3 gene, and higher eukaryotic promoters such as the SV40 early promoter (Barclay, S. L. and E. Meller (1983) Molecular and Cellular Biology 3, 2117-2130). 
     A nucleic acid is “operably linked” when it is placed into a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, DNA encoding a secretory leader, i.e., a signal peptide, is operably linked to DNA for a polypeptide if it is expressed as a preprotein that participates in the secretion of the polypeptide; a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the sequence; or a ribosome binding site is operably linked to a coding sequence if it is positioned so as to facilitate translation. Generally, “operably linked” means that the DNA sequences being linked are contiguous, and, in the case of a secretory leader, contiguous and in reading phase. However, enhancers do not have to be contiguous. Linking is accomplished by ligation at convenient restriction sites. If such sites do not exist, the synthetic oligonucleotide adaptors or linkers are used in accordance with conventional practice. Thus, the term “operably linked” refers to a functional linkage between a nucleic acid expression control sequence (such as a promoter, or array of transcription factor binding sites) and a second nucleic acid sequence, wherein the expression control sequence directs transcription of the nucleic acid corresponding to the second sequence. 
     The term “signal sequence”, “signal peptide”, “secretory sequence”, “secretory peptide”, “secretory signal sequence”, “secretory signal peptide” and the like denotes a peptide sequence that, as a component of a larger polypeptide, directs the larger polypeptide through a secretory pathway of a cell in which it is synthesized, as well as nucleic acids encoding such peptides. In general, the larger polypeptide (or protein) is commonly cleaved to remove the secretory/signal peptide during transit through the secretory pathway, where the cleaved form of the polypeptide (i.e., the form without the signal/secretory peptide) is often referred to herein as the “mature form” of the polypeptide. For example, SEQ ID NO:2 provides the amino acid sequence of GH61A from  H. jecorina  with the signal peptide while SEQ ID NO:3 provides the amino acid sequence of the mature form of GH61A from  H. jecorina,  i.e., without the signal peptide. 
     As used herein, the term “vector” refers to a nucleic acid construct designed for transfer between different host cells. An “expression vector” refers to a vector that has the ability to incorporate and express heterologous DNA fragments in a foreign cell. Many prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression vectors are commercially available. Selection of appropriate expression vectors is within the knowledge of those having skill in the art. 
     Accordingly, an “expression cassette” or “expression vector” is a nucleic acid construct generated recombinantly or synthetically, with a series of specified nucleic acid elements that permit transcription of a particular nucleic acid in a target cell. The recombinant expression cassette can be incorporated into a plasmid, chromosome, mitochondrial DNA, plastid DNA, virus, or nucleic acid fragment. Typically, the recombinant expression cassette portion of an expression vector includes, among other sequences, a nucleic acid sequence to be transcribed and a promoter. 
     As used herein, the term “plasmid” refers to a circular double-stranded (ds) DNA construct that forms an extrachromosomal self-replicating genetic element when present in many bacteria and some eukaryotes. Plasmids may be employed for any of a number of different purposes, e.g., as cloning vectors, propagation vectors, expression vectors, etc. 
     As used herein, the term “selectable marker” refers to a nucleotide sequence or polypeptide encoded thereby which is capable of expression in cells and where expression of the selectable marker in cells confers the ability to be differentiated from cells that do not express the selectable marker. In certain embodiments, a selectable marker allows a cell expressing it to grow in the presence of a corresponding selective agent, or under corresponding selective growth conditions. In other embodiments, a selectable marker allows a cell expressing it to be identified and/or isolated from cells that do not express it by virtue of a physical characteristic, e.g., by differences in fluorescence, immuno-reactivity, etc. 
     In general, nucleic acid molecules which encode the variant GH61A will hybridize, under moderate to high stringency conditions to the wild type sequence (or its complement) provided herein as SEQ ID NO:1 (native  H. jecorina  GH61A). However, in some cases a GH61A-encoding nucleotide sequence is employed that possesses a substantially different codon usage, while the enzyme encoded by the GH61A-encoding nucleotide sequence has the same or substantially the same amino acid sequence as the native enzyme. For example, the coding sequence may be modified to facilitate faster expression of GH61A in a particular prokaryotic or eukaryotic expression system, in accordance with the frequency with which a particular codon is utilized by the host (commonly referred to as “codon optimization”). Te&#39;o, et al. (FEMS Microbiology Letters 190:13-19, 2000), for example, describes the optimization of genes for expression in filamentous fungi. Such nucleic acid sequences are sometimes referred to as “degenerate” or “degenerated sequences”. 
     A nucleic acid sequence is considered to be “selectively hybridizable” to a reference nucleic acid sequence if the two sequences specifically hybridize to one another under moderate to high stringency hybridization and wash conditions. Hybridization conditions are based on the melting temperature (Tm) of the nucleic acid binding complex or probe. For example, “maximum stringency” typically occurs at about Tm-5° C. (5° below the Tm of the probe); “high stringency” at about 5-10° below the Tm; “moderate” or “intermediate stringency” at about 10-20° below the Tm of the probe; and “low stringency” at about 20-25° below the Tm. Functionally, maximum stringency conditions may be used to identify sequences having strict identity or near-strict identity with the hybridization probe; while high stringency conditions are used to identify sequences having about 80% or more sequence identity with the probe. 
     Moderate and high stringency hybridization conditions are well known in the art (see, for example, Sambrook, et al, 1989, Chapters 9 and 11, and in Ausubel, F. M., et al., 1993, expressly incorporated by reference herein). An example of high stringency conditions includes hybridization at about 42° C. in 50% formamide, 5× SSC, 5× Denhardt&#39;s solution, 0.5% SDS and 100 μg/mIdenatured carrier DNA followed by washing two times in 2× SSC and 0.5% SDS at room temperature and two additional times in 0.1× SSC and 0.5% SDS at 42° C. 
     As used herein, the terms “transformed”, “stably transformed” or “transgenic” with reference to a cell means the cell has a non-native (heterologous) nucleic acid sequence integrated into its genome or as an episomal plasmid that is maintained through multiple generations. 
     As used herein, the term “expression” refers to the process by which a polypeptide is produced based on the nucleic acid sequence of a gene. The process generally includes both transcription and translation. 
     The term “introduced” in the context of inserting a nucleic acid sequence into a cell, means “transfection”, or “transformation” or “transduction” and includes reference to the incorporation of a nucleic acid sequence into a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell where the nucleic acid sequence may be incorporated into the genome of the cell (for example, chromosome, plasmid, plastid, or mitochondrial DNA), converted into an autonomous replicon, or transiently expressed (for example, transfected mRNA). 
     It follows that the term “desired glycosyl hydrolase expression” or equivalents refers to transcription and translation of the desired glycosyl hydrolase gene, the products of which include precursor RNA, mRNA, polypeptide, post-translationally processed polypeptides. By way of example, assays for GH61A expression include Western blot for GH61A enzyme, Northern blot analysis and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays for GH61A mRNA, and cellulase augmenting activity assays, for example augmentation of assays as described in Shoemaker S. P. and Brown R. D. Jr. (Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1978, 523:133-146) and Schulein (1988). 
     By the term “host cell” is meant a cell that contains a vector and supports the replication, and/or transcription and/or transcription and translation (expression) of the expression construct. Host cells for use in the present invention can be prokaryotic cells, such as  E. coli,  or eukaryotic cells such as yeast, plant, insect, amphibian, or mammalian cells. In certain embodiments, host cells are filamentous fungi. 
     As used herein, the term “detergent composition” refers to a mixture which is intended for use in a wash medium for the laundering of soiled cellulose containing fabrics. In the context of the present invention, such compositions may include, in addition to cellulases and surfactants, additional hydrolytic enzymes, builders, bleaching agents, bleach activators, bluing agents and fluorescent dyes, caking inhibitors, masking agents, cellulase activators, antioxidants, and solubilizers. 
     As used herein, the term “surfactant” refers to any compound generally recognized in the art as having surface active qualities. Thus, for example, surfactants comprise anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants such as those commonly found in detergents. Anionic surfactants include linear or branched alkylbenzenesulfonates; alkyl or alkenyl ether sulfates having linear or branched alkyl groups or alkenyl groups; alkyl or alkenyl sulfates; olefinsulfonates; and alkanesulfonates. Ampholytic surfactants include quaternary ammonium salt sulfonates, and betaine-type ampholytic surfactants. Such ampholytic surfactants have both the positive and negative charged groups in the same molecule. Nonionic surfactants may comprise polyoxyalkylene ethers, as well as higher fatty acid alkanolamides or alkylene oxide adduct thereof, fatty acid glycerine monoesters, and the like. 
     As used herein, the term “cellulose containing fabric” refers to any sewn or unsewn fabrics, yarns or fibers made of cotton or non-cotton containing cellulose or cotton or non-cotton containing cellulose blends including natural cellulosics and manmade cellulosics (such as jute, flax, ramie, rayon, and lyocell). 
     As used herein, the term “cotton-containing fabric” refers to sewn or unsewn fabrics, yarns or fibers made of pure cotton or cotton blends including cotton woven fabrics, cotton knits, cotton denims, cotton yarns, raw cotton and the like. 
     As used herein, the term “stonewashing composition” refers to a formulation for use in stonewashing cellulose containing fabrics. Stonewashing compositions are used to modify cellulose containing fabrics prior to sale, i.e., during the manufacturing process. In contrast, detergent compositions are intended for the cleaning of soiled garments and are not used during the manufacturing process. 
     When an amino acid position (or residue) in a first polypeptide is noted as being “equivalent” to an amino acid position in a second, related polypeptide, it means that the amino acid position of the first polypeptide corresponds to the position noted in the second, related polypeptide by one or more of (i) primary sequence alignment (see description of sequence alignment and sequence identity below); (ii) structural sequence homology; or (iii) analogous functional property. Thus, an amino acid position in a first GH61 enzyme (or a variant thereof) can be identified as “equivalent” (or “homologous”) to an amino acid position in a second GH61 enzyme (or even multiple different GH61 enzymes). 
     Primary sequence alignment: Equivalent amino acid positions can be determined using primary amino acid sequence alignment methodologies, many of which are known in the art. For example, by aligning the primary amino acid sequences of two or more different GH61 enzymes, it is possible to designate an amino acid position number from one GH61 enzyme as equivalent to the position number of another one of the aligned GH61 enzymes. In this manner, the numbering system originating from the amino acid sequence of one GH61 enzyme (e.g., the GH61A enzyme denoted in SEQ ID NO: 3) can be used to identify equivalent (or homologous) amino acid residues in other GH61 enzymes. See, e.g., the alignments shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3 . 
     Structural sequence homology: In addition to determining “equivalent” amino acid positions using primary sequence alignment methodologies, “equivalent” amino acid positions may also be defined by determining homology at the level of secondary and/or tertiary structure. For example, for a glycosyl hydrolase whose tertiary structure has been determined by x-ray crystallography, equivalent residues can be defined as those for which the atomic coordinates of two or more of the main chain atoms of a particular amino acid residue of the glycosyl hydrolase are within 0.13 nm and preferably 0.1 nm after alignment with  H. jecorina  GH61A (N on N, CA on CA, C on C, and O on O). Alignment is achieved after the best model has been oriented and positioned to give the maximum overlap of atomic coordinates of non-hydrogen protein atoms of the glycosyl hydrolase in question to  H. jecorina  GH61A. The best model is the crystallographic model that gives the highest resolution available. Where two or more different models have equal resolution, the model with the lowest R factor for experimental diffraction data, using the equation below, is used.

     Analogous functional property: Equivalent amino acid residues in a first polypeptide which are functionally analogous to a specific residue of a second related polypeptide (e.g., a first glycosyl hydrolase and  H. jecorina  GH61A) are defined as those amino acids in the first polypeptide that adopt a conformation such that they alter, modify, or contribute to polypeptide structure, substrate binding, or catalysis in a manner defined and attributed to a specific residue of the second related polypeptide (e.g.,  H. jecorina  GH61A). When a tertiary structure has been obtained by x-ray crystallography for the first polypeptide, amino acid residues of the first polypeptide that are functionally analogous to the second polypeptide occupy an analogous position to the extent that, although the main chain atoms of the given residue may not satisfy the criteria of equivalence on the basis of occupying a homologous position, the atomic coordinates of at least two of the side chain atoms of the residue lie within 0.13 nm of the corresponding side chain atoms of the second polypeptide (e.g.,  H. jecorina  GH61A). 
     The term “improved” or “improved property” or “improved performance” and the like with respect to a variant enzyme (e.g., a GH61 variant) is defined herein as a characteristic or activity associated with a variant enzyme which is improved as compared to its respective parent enzyme. Improved properties include, but are not limited to, improved production from or expression in a host cell (sometimes referred to as yield), improved thermostability or altered temperature-dependent activity profile, improved activity or stability at a desired pH or pH range, improved substrate specificity, improved product specificity, and improved stability in the presence of a chemical or other component in a cellulosic hydrolysis process step, etc. Improved performance may be determined using a particular assay(s) including, but not limited to: (a) expression (Protein Content Determination, or yield), (b) Thermostability and/or melting temperature (Tm), (c) Whole Hydrolysate Dilute Acid Pretreated Corn Stover (whPCS) Hydrolysis Assay, and (d) Dilute Ammonia Pretreated Corn Stover (daCS) Hydrolysis Assay. 
     The term “improved thermostability” with respect to a variant polypeptide (e.g., a GH61 variant) is defined herein as a variant enzyme displaying retention of enzymatic activity (or in the specific case of a GH61 enzyme, the retention of an enzyme&#39;s capability to augment cellulase activities) after a period of incubation at an elevated temperature relative to the parent enzyme. Such a variant may or may not display an altered thermal activity profile relative to the parent. For example, a variant may have an improved ability to refold following incubation at elevated temperature relative to the parent. 
     By “improved product specificity” is meant a variant enzyme displaying an altered product profile as compared to the parent enzyme, where the altered product profile of the variant is improved in a given application as compared to the parent. A “product profile” is defined herein as the chemical composition of the reaction products produced by the enzyme of interest. 
     By “improved chemical stability” is meant that a variant enzyme displays retention of enzymatic activity after a period of incubation in the presence of a chemical or chemicals that reduce the enzymatic activity of the parent enzyme under the same conditions. Variants with improved chemical stability are better able to catalyze a reaction in the presence of such chemicals as compared to the parent enzyme. 
     A “pH range,” with reference to an enzyme, refers to the range of pH values under which the enzyme exhibits catalytic activity. 
     The terms “pH stable” and “pH stability,” with reference to an enzyme, relate to the ability of the enzyme to retain activity over a wide range of pH values for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 15 min., 30 min., 1 hr.). 
     “Percent sequence identity” or grammatical equivalents means that a particular sequence has at least a certain percentage of amino acid residues identical to those in a specified reference sequence using an alignment algorithm. An example of an algorithm that is suitable for determining sequence similarity is the BLAST algorithm, which is described in Altschul, et al.,  J. Mol. Biol.  215:403-410 (1990). Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (&lt;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&gt;). This algorithm involves first identifying high scoring sequence pairs (HSPs) by identifying short words of length W in the query sequence that either match or satisfy some positive-valued threshold score T when aligned with a word of the same length in a database sequence. These initial neighborhood word hits act as starting points to find longer HSPs containing them. The word hits are expanded in both directions along each of the two sequences being compared for as far as the cumulative alignment score can be increased. Extension of the word hits is stopped when: the cumulative alignment score falls off by the quantity X from a maximum achieved value; the cumulative score goes to zero or below; or the end of either sequence is reached. The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. The BLAST program uses as defaults a word length (W) of 11, the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see Henikoff &amp; Henikoff,  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA  89:10915 (1989)) alignments (B) of 50, expectation (E) of 10, M′5, N′-4, and a comparison of both strands. 
     The BLAST algorithm then performs a statistical analysis of the similarity between two sequences (see, e.g., Karlin &amp; Altschul,  Proc. Nat&#39;l. Acad. Sci. USA  90:5873-5787 (1993)). One measure of similarity provided by the BLAST algorithm is the smallest sum probability (P(N)), which provides an indication of the probability by which a match between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences would occur by chance. For example, an amino acid sequence is considered similar to a protease if the smallest sum probability in a comparison of the test amino acid sequence to a protease amino acid sequence is less than about 0.1, more preferably less than about 0.01, and most preferably less than about 0.001. 
     When questions of percent sequence identity arise, alignment using the CLUSTAL W algorithm with default parameters will govern. See Thompson et al. (1994)  Nucleic Acids Res.  22:4673-4680. Default parameters for the CLUSTAL W algorithm are:
         Gap opening penalty: 10.0   Gap extension penalty: 0.05   Protein weight matrix: BLOSUM series   DNA weight matrix: IUB   Delay divergent sequences %: 40   Gap separation distance: 8   DNA transitions weight: 0.50   List hydrophilic residues: GPSNDQEKR   Use negative matrix: OFF   Toggle Residue specific penalties: ON   Toggle hydrophilic penalties: ON   Toggle end gap separation penalty OFF.       

     II. Molecular Biology 
     Embodiments of the subject invention provide for the expression of a desired glycosyl hydrolase enzyme (or combination of glycosyl hydrolase enzymes) from glycosyl hydrolase-encoding nucleic acids under control of a promoter functional in a host cell of interest, e.g., a filamentous fungus. Therefore, this invention relies on a number of routine techniques in the field of recombinant genetics. Basic texts disclosing examples of suitable recombinant genetics methods are noted above. 
     Any method known in the art that can introduce mutations into a parent nucleic acid/polypeptide is contemplated by the present invention. 
     The present invention relates to the expression, purification and/or isolation and use of variant GH61 enzymes, e.g., GH61A enzymes. These enzymes may be prepared by recombinant methods utilizing any of a number of gh61 genes encoding the GH61 enzymes known in the art, including the GH61A/GH61 enzymes in SEQ ID NOs:2 to 11, 13, 14, and 16, e.g., GH61A from  H. jecorina.  Any convenient method for introducing mutations may be employed, including site directed mutagenesis. As indicated above, mutations (or variations) include substitutions, additions, deletions or truncations that will correspond to one or more amino acid changes in the expressed GH61 variant. Again, site directed mutagenesis and other methods of incorporating amino acid changes in expressed proteins at the DNA level can be found in numerous references, e.g., Green and Sambrook, et al. 2012 and Ausubel, et al. 
     DNA encoding an amino acid sequence variant of a parent GH61 is prepared by a variety of methods known in the art. These methods include, but are not limited to, preparation by site-directed (or oligonucleotide-mediated) mutagenesis, PCR mutagenesis, and cassette mutagenesis of an earlier prepared DNA encoding the parent GH61A enzyme. 
     Site-directed mutagenesis is one method that can be employed in preparing substitution variants. This technique is well known in the art (see, e.g., Carter et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 13:443I-4443 (1985) and Kunkel et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:488 (1987)). Briefly, in carrying out site-directed mutagenesis of DNA, the starting DNA is altered by first hybridizing an oligonucleotide encoding the desired mutation to a single strand of such starting DNA. After hybridization, a DNA polymerase is used to synthesize an entire second strand, using the hybridized oligonucleotide as a primer, and using the single strand of the starting DNA as a template. Thus, the oligonucleotide encoding the desired mutation is incorporated in the resulting double-stranded DNA. 
     PCR mutagenesis is also suitable for making amino acid sequence variants of the parent GH61. See Higuchi, in PCR Protocols, pp.177-183 (Academic Press, 1990); and Vallette et al., Nuc. Acids Res. 17:723-733 (1989). Briefly, when small amounts of template DNA are used as starting material in a PCR, primers that differ slightly in sequence from the corresponding region in a template DNA can be used to generate relatively large quantities of a specific DNA fragment that differs from the template sequence only at the positions where the primers differ from the template. 
     Another method for preparing variants, cassette mutagenesis, is based on the technique described by Wells et al., Gene 34:315-323 (1985). The starting material is the plasmid (or other vector) comprising the starting polypeptide DNA to be mutated. The codon(s) in the starting DNA to be mutated are identified. There must be a unique restriction endonuclease site on each side of the identified mutation site(s). If no such restriction sites exist, they may be generated using the above-described oligonucleotide-mediated mutagenesis method to introduce them at appropriate locations in the starting polypeptide DNA. The plasmid DNA is cut at these sites to linearize it. A double-stranded oligonucleotide encoding the sequence of the DNA between the restriction sites but containing the desired mutation(s) is synthesized using standard procedures, wherein the two strands of the oligonucleotide are synthesized separately and then hybridized together using standard techniques. This double-stranded oligonucleotide is referred to as the cassette. This cassette is designed to have 5′ and 3′ ends that are compatible with the ends of the linearized plasmid, such that it can be directly ligated to the plasmid. This plasmid now contains the mutated DNA sequence. 
     Alternatively, or additionally, the desired amino acid sequence of a desired GH61 variant can be determined, and a nucleic acid sequence encoding such GH61 variant can be generated synthetically. 
     The desired GH61 so prepared may be subjected to further modifications, oftentimes depending on the intended use. Such modifications may involve further alteration of the amino acid sequence, fusion to heterologous polypeptide(s) and/or covalent modifications. 
     III. Variant GH61 Polypeptides and Nucleic Acids Encoding Same 
     In one aspect, variant GH61 enzymes are provided. In certain embodiments, variant GH61 enzymes have one or more mutations, as set forth herein, with respect to a parent GH61 enzyme and further have at least 60% (i.e., 60% or greater but less than 100%) amino acid sequence identity to the mature form of  H. jecorina  GH61A (SEQ ID NO:3), including at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, up to and including 99.6% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:3. In certain embodiments, the parent GH61 is a fungal GH61A (as defined above). Further, the variant GH61 enzyme has cellulase augmenting activity, where in certain embodiments, the variant GH61 has an improved property as compared to the parent GH61 (as detailed herein). The amino acid sequence for the wild type, full-length form of  H. jecorina  GH61A is shown in  FIG. 1  (SEQ ID NO:2). Sequence alignments of the catalytic domains and carbohydrate binding domains of  H. jecorina  GH61A with numerous other glycosyl hydrolases are shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3 , respectively. 
     In certain embodiments, a variant GH61 enzyme comprises an amino acid mutation at one or more amino acid positions in the mature form of GH61A from  H. jecorina  (SEQ ID NO:3). Because certain parent GH61 enzymes according to aspects of the invention may not have the same amino acid as wild type GH61A from  H. jecorina,  amino acid positions corresponding to the residues noted above (e.g., amino acid position W13) may also be designated either by the position number alone (e.g., amino acid position 13, as denoted in Table 4) or with an “X” prefix (e.g., amino acid position X13). It is noted here that all three ways of designating the amino acid positions corresponding to a specific amino acid residue in GH61A from  H. jecorina  are interchangeable. In some instances, the word “position” may be left our (e.g., amino acid 13, amino acid W13, or amino acid X13). 
     The amino acid sequence of the GH61 variant differs from the parent GH61 amino acid sequence by the substitution, deletion or insertion of one or more amino acids of the parent amino acid sequence. A residue (amino acid) of a GH61 variant is equivalent to a residue of  H. jecorina  GH61A if it is either homologous (i.e., corresponding in position in either primary or tertiary structure) or is functionally analogous to a specific residue or portion of that residue in  H. jecorina  GH61A (i.e., having the same or similar functional capacity to combine, react, or interact chemically or structurally). As used herein, numbering is intended to correspond to that of the mature GH61A amino acid sequence as illustrated in  FIG. 1 . 
     Alignment of amino acid sequences to determine homology can be determined by using a “sequence comparison algorithm.” Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, e.g., by the local homology algorithm of Smith &amp; Waterman,  Adv. Appl. Math.  2:482 (1981), by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman &amp; Wunsch,  J. Mol. Biol.  48:443 (1970), by the search for similarity method of Pearson &amp; Lipman,  Proc. Nat&#39;l Acad. Sci. USA  85 : 2444   (1988), by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.), by visual inspection or MOE by Chemical Computing Group, Montreal Canada. See also the description of “percent sequence identity” provided in the Definitions section above. 
     In certain embodiments, the mutation(s) in a variant GH61 enzyme is an amino acid substitution shown in Table 4 (see Example 3) and/or that are present in any of the SEL Cohorts (1, 2, 3, and Wild-type), Combinatorial Cohorts (1 to 11), or Deconvoluted Cohorts (1 to 4), where the sites of the substitutions correspond to the mature form of GH61A from  H. jecorina  (SEQ ID NO:3).

     In another aspect, nucleic acids encoding a variant GH61 enzyme having one or more mutations with respect to a parent GH61 enzyme (e.g., as described above) are provided. In certain embodiments, the parent GH61 enzyme encoded by the nucleic acid has at least 80% (i.e., 80% or greater but less than 100%) amino acid sequence identity to  H. jecorina  GH61A (SEQ ID NO:3). In certain embodiments, the nucleic acid encoding a variant GH61 enzyme is at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 76%, at least 77%, at least 78%, at least 79%, at least 80%, at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or even at least 99.9% homology/identity to SEQ ID NO: 1 (excluding the portion of the nucleic acid that encodes the signal sequence). It will be appreciated that due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, a plurality of nucleic acids may encode the same variant GH61 enzyme. Moreover, nucleic acids encoding a variant GH61 enzyme as described herein may be engineered to be codon optimized, e.g., to improve expression in a host cell of interest. Certain codon optimization techniques are known in the art. 
     In certain embodiments, the variant GH61 enzyme-encoding nucleic acid hybridizes under stringent conditions to a nucleic acid encoding (or complementary to a nucleic acid encoding) a GH61 having at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 76%, at least 77%, at least 78%, at least 79%, at least 80%, at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or at least 99.9% homology/identity to SEQ ID NO:1 (excluding the portion of the nucleic acid that encodes the signal sequence). 
     Nucleic acids may encode a “full-length” (“fl” or “FL”) variant GH61 enzyme, which includes a signal sequence, only the mature form of a variant GH61 enzyme, which lacks the signal sequence, or a truncated form of a variant GH61 enzyme, which lacks portions of the N and/or C-terminus of the mature form. 
     A nucleic acid that encodes a variant GH61 enzyme can be operably linked to various promoters and regulators in a vector suitable for expressing the variant GH61 enzyme in a host cell(s) of interest, as described below. 
     IV. Expression of Recombinant GH61 Variants 
     Aspects of the subject invention include methods and compositions related to the generation nucleic acids encoding GH61 variants, host cells containing such nucleic acids, the production of GH61 variants by such host cells, and the isolation, purification and/or use of the GH61 variants. 
     As such, embodiments of the invention provide host cells that have been transduced, transformed or transfected with an expression vector comprising a desired GH61 variant-encoding nucleic acid sequence. For example, a filamentous fungal cell or yeast cell is transfected with an expression vector having a promoter or biologically active promoter fragment or one or more (e.g., a series) of enhancers which functions in the host cell line, operably linked to a DNA segment encoding a desired GH61 variant, such that desired GH61 variant is expressed in the cell line. 
     A. Nucleic Acid Constructs/Expression Vectors. 
     Natural or synthetic polynucleotide fragments encoding a desired GH61 variant may be incorporated into heterologous nucleic acid constructs or vectors, capable of introduction into, and replication in, a host cell of interest (e.g., a filamentous fungal or yeast cell). The vectors and methods disclosed herein are suitable for use in host cells for the expression of a desired GH61 variant. Any vector may be used as long as it meets the desired replication/expression characteristics in the host cell(s) into which it is introduced (such characteristics generally being defined by the user). Large numbers of suitable vectors and promoters are known to those of skill in the art, some of which are commercially available. Cloning and expression vectors are also described in Sambrook et al., 1989, Ausubel F M et al., 1989, and Strathern et al., 1981, each of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein. Appropriate expression vectors for fungi are described in van den Hondel, C. A. M. J. J. et al. (1991) In: Bennett, J. W. and Lasure, L. L. (eds.) More Gene Manipulations in Fungi. Academic Press, pp. 396-428. The appropriate DNA sequence may be inserted into a plasmid or vector (collectively referred to herein as “vectors”) by a variety of procedures. In general, the DNA sequence is inserted into an appropriate restriction endonuclease site(s) by standard procedures. Such procedures and related sub-cloning procedures are deemed to be within the scope of knowledge of those skilled in the art. 
     Recombinant host cells comprising the coding sequence for a desired GH61 variant may be produced by introducing a heterologous nucleic acid construct comprising the desired GH61 variant coding sequence into the desired host cells (e.g., as described in further detail below). For example, a desired GH61 variant coding sequence may be inserted into a suitable vector according to well-known recombinant techniques and used to transform a filamentous fungus capable of GH61 expression. As has been noted above, due to the inherent degeneracy of the genetic code, other nucleic acid sequences which encode substantially the same or a functionally equivalent amino acid sequence may be used to clone and express a desired GH61 variant. Therefore it is appreciated that such substitutions in the coding region fall within the sequence variants covered by the present invention. 
     The present invention also includes recombinant nucleic acid constructs comprising one or more of the desired GH61 variant-encoding nucleic acid sequences as described above. The constructs comprise a vector, such as a plasmid or viral vector, into which a sequence of the invention has been inserted, in a forward or reverse orientation. 
     Heterologous nucleic acid constructs may include the coding sequence for a desired GH61 variant: (i) in isolation; (ii) in combination with additional coding sequences; such as fusion polypeptide or signal peptide coding sequences, where the desired GH61 variant coding sequence is the dominant coding sequence; (iii) in combination with non-coding sequences, such as introns and control elements, such as promoter and terminator elements or 5′ and/or 3′ untranslated regions, effective for expression of the coding sequence in a suitable host; and/or (iv) in a vector or host environment in which the desired GH61 variant coding sequence is a heterologous gene. 
     In one aspect of the present invention, a heterologous nucleic acid construct is employed to transfer a desired GH61 variant-encoding nucleic acid sequence into a host cell in vitro, e.g., into established filamentous fungal and yeast lines. Long-term production of a desired GH61 variant can be achieved by generating a host cell that has stable expression of the GH61 variant. Thus, it follows that any method effective to generate stable transformants may be used in practicing the invention. 
     Appropriate vectors are typically equipped with a selectable marker-encoding nucleic acid sequence, insertion sites, and suitable control elements, such as promoter and termination sequences. The vector may comprise regulatory sequences, including, for example, non-coding sequences, such as introns and control elements, i.e., promoter and terminator elements or 5′ and/or 3′ untranslated regions, effective for expression of the coding sequence in host cells (and/or in a vector or host cell environment in which a modified soluble protein antigen coding sequence is not normally expressed), operably linked to the coding sequence. Large numbers of suitable vectors and promoters are known to those of skill in the art, many of which are commercially available and/or are described in Sambrook, et al., (supra). 
     Examples of suitable promoters include both constitutive promoters and inducible promoters, examples of which include a CMV promoter, an SV40 early promoter, an RSV promoter, an EF-1a promoter, a promoter containing the tet responsive element (TIRE) in the tet-on or tet-off system as described (ClonTech and BASF), the beta actin promoter and the metallothionine promoter that can upregulated by addition of certain metal salts. A promoter sequence is a DNA sequence which is recognized by the particular host cell for expression purposes. It is operably linked to DNA sequence encoding a variant GH61A polypeptide. Such linkage comprises positioning of the promoter with respect to the initiation codon of the DNA sequence encoding the variant GH61A polypeptide in the expression vector such that the promoter can drive transcription/translation of the GH61 variant-encoding sequence. The promoter sequence contains transcription and translation control sequence which mediate the expression of the variant GH61A polypeptide. Examples include the promoters from the  Aspergillus niger, A awamori  or  A. oryzae  glucoamylase, alpha-amylase, or alpha-glucosidase encoding genes; the  A. nidulans  gpdA or trpC Genes; the  Neurospora crassa  cbh1 or trp1 genes; the  A. niger  or  Rhizomucor miehei  aspartic proteinase encoding genes; the  H. jecorina  cbh1, cbh2, egl1, egl2, or other cellulase encoding genes. 
     The choice of the proper selectable marker will depend on the host cell, and appropriate markers for different hosts are well known in the art. Typical selectable marker genes include argB from  A. nidulans  or  H. jecorina,  amdS from  A. nidulans,  pyr4 from  Neurospora crassa  or  H. jecorina,  pyrG from  Aspergillus niger  or  A. nidulans.  Additional examples of suitable selectable markers include, but are not limited to trpc, trp1, oliC31, niaD or leu2, which are included in heterologous nucleic acid constructs used to transform a mutant strain such as trp-, pyr-, leu- and the like. 
     Such selectable markers confer to transformants the ability to utilize a metabolite that is usually not metabolized by the filamentous fungi. For example, the amdS gene from  H. jecorina  which encodes the enzyme acetamidase that allows transformant cells to grow on acetamide as a nitrogen source. The selectable marker (e.g. pyrG) may restore the ability of an auxotrophic mutant strain to grow on a selective minimal medium or the selectable marker (e.g. olic3l) may confer to transformants the ability to grow in the presence of an inhibitory drug or antibiotic. 
     The selectable marker coding sequence is cloned into any suitable plasmid using methods generally employed in the art. Examples of suitable plasmids include pUC18, pBR322, pRAX and pUC100. The pRAX plasmid contains AMA1 sequences from  A. nidulans,  which make it possible to replicate in  A. niger.    
     The practice of the present invention will employ, unless otherwise indicated, conventional techniques of molecular biology, microbiology, recombinant DNA, and immunology, which are within the skill of the art. Such techniques are explained fully in the literature. See, for example, Sambrook et al., 1989; Freshney, 1987; Ausubel, et al., 1993; and Coligan et al., 1991. 
     B. Host Cells and Culture Conditions For GH61 and Variant GH61 Enzyme Production 
     After DNA sequences that encode the GH61A variant GH61A variants have been cloned into DNA constructs, the DNA is used to transform microorganisms. The microorganism to be transformed for the purpose of expressing a variant GH61A according to the present invention can be chosen from a wide variety of host cells. The sections below are provided as examples of host cells/microorganisms and are not meant to limit the scope of host cells that can be employed in practicing aspects of the present invention. 
     (i) Filamentous Fungi 
     Aspect of the present invention include filamentous fungi which have been modified, selected and cultured in a manner effective to result in desired GH61 variant production or expression relative to the corresponding non-transformed parental filamentous fungi. 
     Examples of species of parental filamentous fungi that may be treated and/or modified for desired glycosyl hydrolase expression include, but are not limited to  Trichoderma, Penicillium  sp.,  Humicola  sp., including  Humicola insolens; Aspergillus  sp., including  Aspergillus niger, Chrysosporium  sp.,  Myceliophthora  sp.,  Fusarium  sp.,  Hypocrea  sp.,  Talaromyces  sp.,  Sporotricum  sp, and  Emericella  sp. 
     Cells expressing a desired GH61 variant are cultured under conditions typically employed to culture the parental fungal line. Generally, cells are cultured in a standard medium containing physiological salts and nutrients, such as described in Pourquie, J. et al., Biochemistry and Genetics of Cellulose Degradation, eds. Aubert, J. P. et al., Academic Press, pp. 7I-86, 1988 and Ilmen, M. et al., Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 63:1298-1306, 1997. Standard culture conditions are known in the art, e.g., cultures are incubated at 28° C. in shaker cultures or fermenters until desired levels of desired GH61 variant expression are achieved. 
     Culture conditions for a given filamentous fungus can be found, for example, in the scientific literature and/or from the source of the fungi such as the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). After fungal growth has been established, the cells are exposed to conditions effective to cause or permit the expression of a desired GH61 variant. 
     In cases where a desired GH61 variant coding sequence is under the control of an inducible promoter, the inducing agent, e.g., a sugar, metal salt or antibiotic, is added to the medium at a concentration effective to induce expression of the desired GH61 variant. 
     In one embodiment, the strain is an  Aspergillus niger  strain, which is a useful strain for obtaining overexpressed protein. For example  A. niger  var  awamori  dgr246 is known to secrete elevated amounts of secreted cellulases (Goedegebuur et al, Curr. Genet (2002) 41: 89-98). Other strains of  Aspergillus niger  var  awamori  such as GCDAP3, GCDAP4 and GAP3-4 are known Ward et al (Ward, M, Wilson, L. J. and Kodama, K. H., 1993, Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 39:738-743). 
     In another embodiment, the strain is a  Trichoderma reesei  strain, which is a useful strain for obtaining overexpressed protein. For example, RL-P37, described by Sheir-Neiss, et al.,  Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol.  20:46-53 (1984) is known to secrete elevated amounts of cellulase enzymes. Functional equivalents of RL-P37 include  Trichoderma reesei  strain RUT-C30 (ATCC No. 56765) and strain QM9414 (ATCC No. 26921). It is contemplated that these strains would also be useful in overexpressing variant GH61. 
     Where it is desired to obtain a GH61 variant in the absence of potentially detrimental native glycosyl hydrolase or cellulase activity, it is useful to obtain a host cell strain which has had one or more glycosyl hydrolase genes (e.g., the gh6la gene) and/or cellulase genes deleted prior to introduction of a DNA construct or plasmid containing the DNA fragment encoding the desired GH61 variant. Such strains may be prepared in any convenient manner, for example by the method disclosed in U.S. Pat No. 5,246,853 and WO 92/06209, which disclosures are hereby incorporated by reference. By expressing a desired GH61 variant in a host microorganism that is missing one or more glycosyl hydrolase genes (e.g., the endogenous gh61a gene of a host cell), identification and subsequent purification procedures, where desired, are simplified. 
     Gene deletion may be accomplished by inserting a form of the desired gene to be deleted or disrupted into a plasmid by methods known in the art. The deletion plasmid is then cut at an appropriate restriction enzyme site(s), internal to the desired gene coding region, and the gene coding sequence or part thereof replaced with a selectable marker. Flanking DNA sequences from the locus of the gene to be deleted or disrupted, for example from about 0.5 to about 2.0 kb may remain on either side of the selectable marker gene. An appropriate deletion plasmid will generally have unique restriction enzyme sites present therein to enable the fragment containing the deleted gene, including flanking DNA sequences, and the selectable marker gene to be removed as a single linear piece. 
     In certain embodiments, more than one copy of DNA encoding a desired GH61 variant may be present in a host strain to facilitate overexpression of the GH61 variant. For example, a host cell may have multiple copies of a desired GH61 variant integrated into the genome or, alternatively, include a plasmid vector that is capable of replicating autonomously in the host organism. 
     (ii) Yeast 
     The present invention also contemplates the use of yeast as a host cell for desired GH61 production. Several other genes encoding hydrolytic enzymes have been expressed in various strains of the yeast  S. cerevisiae.  These include sequences encoding for two endoglucanases (Penttila et al., 1987), two cellobiohydrolases (Penttila et al., 1988) and one beta-glucosidase from  Trichoderma reesei  (Cummings and Fowler, 1996), a xylanase from  Aureobasidlium pullulans  (Li and Ljungdahl, 1996), an alpha-amylase from wheat (Rothstein et al., 1987), etc. In addition, a cellulase gene cassette encoding the  Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens  endo-[beta]-1,4-glucanase (END1),  Phanerochaete chrysosporium  cellobiohydrolase (CBH1), the  Ruminococcus flavefaciens  cellodextrinase (CEL1) and the  Endomyces fibrilizer  cellobiase (Bgl1) was successfully expressed in a laboratory strain of  S. cerevisiae  (Van Rensburg et al., 1998). 
     (iii) Other 
     It is further contemplated that in some embodiments, expression systems in host cells other than filamentous fungal cells or yeast cells may be employed, including insect cell or bacterial cell expression systems. Certain of the bacterial host cells can, for example, be one that is also an ethanologen, such as an engineered  Zymomonas mobilis,  which is not only capable of expressing the enzyme(s)/variant(s) of interest but also capable of metabolizing certain monomeric and other fermentable sugars, turning them into ethanol. The selection of a host cell may be determined by the desires of the user of the GH61 variants described herein, and thus no limitation in that regard is intended. 
     C. Introduction of a Desired GH6I-Encoding Nucleic Acid Sequence into Host Cells. 
     The invention further provides cells and cell compositions which have been genetically modified to comprise an exogenously provided desired GH61 variant-encoding nucleic acid sequence. A parental cell or cell line may be genetically modified (e.g., transduced, transformed or transfected) with a cloning vector or an expression vector. The vector may be, for example, in the form of a plasmid, a viral particle, a phage, etc., as further described above. 
     The methods of transformation of the present invention may result in the stable integration of all or part of the transformation vector into the genome of the host cell. However, transformation resulting in the maintenance of a self-replicating extra-chromosomal transformation vector is also contemplated. 
     Any of the well-known procedures for introducing foreign nucleotide sequences into host cells may be used. These include the use of calcium phosphate transfection, polybrene, infection, protoplast fusion, electroporation, biolistics, liposomes, microinjection, plasma vectors, viral vectors and any of the other well known methods for introducing cloned genomic DNA, cDNA, synthetic DNA or other foreign genetic material into a host cell (see, e.g., Sambrook et al., supra). In essence, the particular genetic engineering procedure used should be capable of successfully introducing a polynucleotide (e.g., an expression vector) into the host cell that is capable of expressing the desired GH61 variant. 
     Many standard transfection methods can be used to produce  Trichoderma reesei  cell lines that express large quantities of the heterologous polypeptide. Some of the published methods for the introduction of DNA constructs into cellulase-producing strains of  Trichoderma  include Lorito, Hayes, DiPietro and Harman, 1993, Curr. Genet. 24: 349-356; Goldman, VanMontagu and Herrera-Estrella, 1990, Curr. Genet. 17:169-174; Penttila, Nevalainen, Ratto, 
     Salminen and Knowles, 1987, Gene 6: 155-164, for  Aspergillus  Yelton, Hamer and Timberlake, 1984, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81: 1470-1474, for  Fusarium  Bajar, Podila and Kolattukudy, 1991, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88: 8202-8212, for  Streptomyces  Hopwood et al., 1985, The John Innes Foundation, Norwich, UK and for  Bacillus  Brigidi, DeRossi, Bertarini, Riccardi and Matteuzzi, 1990, FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 55: 135-138). An example of a suitable transformation process for  Aspergillus  sp. can be found in Campbell et al. Improved transformation efficiency of  A. niger  using homologous niaD gene for nitrate reductase. Curr. Genet. 16:53-56; 1989. 
     The invention further includes novel and useful transformants of host cells, e.g., filamentous fungi such as  H. jecorina  and  A. niger,  for use in producing fungal cellulase and glycosyl hydrolase compositions. Thus, aspects of the subject invention include transformants of filamentous fungi comprising the desired GH61 variant coding sequence, sometimes also including a deletion or an inactivating mutation of one or more endogenous glycosyl hydrolase coding sequence (e.g., deletion of gh61 a coding sequence; host cells with deleted glycosyl hydrolyase and/or cellulase genes are also describe in the Examples). 
     In addition, heterologous nucleic acid constructs comprising a desired glycosyl hydrolase-encoding nucleic acid sequence can be transcribed in vitro, and the resulting RNA introduced into the host cell by well-known methods, e.g., by injection. 
     D. Analysis For GH61 Nucleic Acid Coding Sequences and/or Protein Expression. 
     In order to evaluate the expression of a desired GH61 variant by a cell line that has been transformed with a desired GH61 variant-encoding nucleic acid construct, assays can be carried out at the protein level, the RNA level or by use of functional bioassays particular to 
     GH61 activity and/or production. 
     In general, assays employed to analyze the expression of a desired GH61 variant include, but are not limited to, Northern blotting, dot blotting (DNA or RNA analysis), RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction), or in situ hybridization, using an appropriately labeled probe (based on the nucleic acid coding sequence) and conventional Southern blotting and autoradiography. 
     In addition, the production and/or expression of modified GH61 may be measured in a sample directly, for example, by assays for GH61 activity (cellulase augmenting activity), expression and/or production. Assays in which GH61 cellulase augmenting activity may be assessed are described, for example, in Shoemaker, S. P. and Brown, R. D. Jr. (Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1978, 523:133 146), Schulein (1988), and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,246,853 and 5,475,101 each of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein. The ability of modified GH61 to augment the hydrolysis of isolated soluble and insoluble substrates can be measured using assays described in Suurnakki et al. (2000) and Ortega et al. (2001). Substrates useful for assaying augmentation by GH61 on cellobiohydrolase, endoglucanase or β-glucosidase activities include crystalline cellulose, filter paper, phosphoric acid swollen cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, cellooligosaccharides, methylumbelliferyl lactoside, methylumbelliferyl cellobioside, orthonitrophenyl lactoside, paranitrophenyl lactoside, orthonitrophenyl cellobioside, paranitrophenyl cellobioside, orthonitrophenyl glucoside, paranitrophenyl glucoside, methylumbelliferyl glycoside. 
     In addition, protein expression may be evaluated by immunological methods, such as ELISA, competitive immunoassays, radioimmunoassays, Western blot, indirect immunofluorescent assays, and the like. Certain of these assays can be performed using commercially available reagents and/or kits designed for detecting GH61 enzymes. Such immunoassays can be used to qualitatively and/or quantitatively evaluate expression of a desired GH61 variant. The details of such methods are known to those of skill in the art and many reagents for practicing such methods are commercially available. In certain embodiments, an immunological reagent that is specific for a desired variant GH61 enzyme but not its parent GH61 may be employed, e.g., an antibody that is specific for a GH61 substitution or a fusion partner of the GH61 variant (e.g., an N or C terminal tag sequence, e.g., a hexa-Histidine tag or a FLAG tag). Thus, aspects of the present invention include using a purified form of a desired GH61 variant to produce either monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies specific to the expressed polypeptide for use in various immunoassays. (See, e.g., Hu et al., 1991). 
     V. Methods for Enrichment, Isolation and/or Purification of GH61 Variant Polypeptide 
     In general, a desired GH61 variant polypeptide produced in a host cell culture is secreted into the medium (producing a culture supernatant containing the GH61 variant) and may be enriched, purified or isolated, e.g., by removing unwanted components from the cell culture medium. However, in some cases, a desired GH61 variant polypeptide may be produced in a cellular form necessitating recovery from a cell lysate. The desired GH61 variant polypeptide is harvested from the cells or cell supernatants in which it was produced using techniques routinely employed by those of skill in the art. Examples include, but are not limited to, filtration (e.g., ultra- or micro-filtration), centrifugation, density gradient fractionation (e.g., density gradient ultracentrifugation), affinity chromatography (Tilbeurgh et al., 1984), ion-exchange chromatographic methods (Goya) et al., 1991; Fliess et al., 1983; Bhikhabhai et al., 1984; Ellouz et al., 1987), including ion-exchange using materials with high resolution power (Medve et al., 1998), hydrophobic interaction chromatography (Tomaz and Queiroz, 1999), and two-phase partitioning (Brumbauer, et al., 1999). 
     While enriched, isolated, or purified GH61 variant polypeptide is sometimes desired, in other embodiments a host cell expressing a GH61 variant polypeptide is employed directly in an assay that requires GH6I-mediated cellulase augmenting activity. Thus, enrichment, isolation or purification of the desired GH61 variant polypeptide is not always required to obtain a GH61 variant polypeptide composition that finds use in a cellulosic biomass hydrolysis assay or process. For example, a cellulase-and glycosyl hydrolase-comprising system according to aspects of the present invention might be designed to allow a host cell that expresses a variant GH61A as described herein to be used directly in a cellulosic hydrolysis process, i.e., without isolation of the GH61A away from the host cell prior to its use in an assay of interest. 
     VI. Utility of GH61 Variants 
     It can be appreciated that the desired GH61 variant-encoding nucleic acids, the desired GH61 variant polypeptide and compositions comprising the same find utility in a wide variety applications, some of which are described below. The improved property or properties of the GH61 variants described herein can be exploited in many ways. For example, GH61 variants with improved performance under conditions of thermal stress can be used to increase cellulase augmenting activity in assays carried out at high temperatures (e.g., temperatures at which the parent GH61 would perform poorly), allowing a user to reduce the total amount of GH61 employed (as compared to using the parent GH61). Other improved properties of GH61 variant polypeptides can be exploited in assays suitable for determining cellulosic hydrolysis activities of cellulase compositions, including GH61 variants having altered pH optima, increased stability or activity in the presence of surfactants, increased specific activity for a substrate, altered substrate cleavage pattern, and/or high level expression in a host cell of interest. 
     GH61 variants as described herein can be used for augmenting the treatment of virtually any cellulosic material, for example for augmenting processes in the textile industry (e.g. in biofinishing or biostoning), in detergents, in animal feed, in the pulp and paper industry and/or bioethanol production. 
     Thus, GH61 variant polypeptides as describe herein find use in detergent compositions that exhibit enhanced cleaning ability, function as a softening agent and/or improve the feel of cotton fabrics (e.g., “stone washing” or “biopolishing”), in compositions for degrading wood pulp into sugars (e.g., for bio-ethanol production), and/or in feed compositions. The isolation and characterization of GH61 variants provides the ability to control characteristics and activity of such compositions. 
     An enzyme mixture composition containing a desired GH61 variant as described herein finds use in ethanol production. Ethanol from this process can be further used as an octane enhancer or directly as a fuel in lieu of gasoline which is advantageous because ethanol as a fuel source is more environmentally friendly than petroleum derived products. It is known that the use of ethanol will improve air quality and possibly reduce local ozone levels and smog. Moreover, utilization of ethanol in lieu of gasoline can be of strategic importance in buffering the impact of sudden shifts in non-renewable energy and petro-chemical supplies. 
     Separate saccharification and fermentation is a process whereby cellulose present in biomass, e.g., corn stover, is converted to glucose and subsequently yeast strains convert the glucose into ethanol. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation is a process whereby cellulose present in biomass is converted to glucose and, at the same time and in the same reactor, yeast strains convert glucose into ethanol. Thus, the GH61 variants of the invention find use in the both of these processes for the degradation of biomass to ethanol. Ethanol production from readily available sources of cellulose provides a stable, renewable fuel source. It is further noted that in some processes, biomass is not fully broken down to glucose (containing, e.g., disaccharides), as such products find uses apart from ethanol production. 
     Cellulose-based feedstocks can take a variety of forms and can contain agricultural wastes, grasses and woods and other low-value biomass such as municipal waste (e.g., recycled paper, yard clippings, etc.). Ethanol may be produced from the fermentation of any of these cellulosic feedstocks. As such, a large variety of feedstocks may be used with the inventive desired glycosyl hydrolase(s) and the one selected for use may depend on the region where the conversion is being done. For example, in the Midwestern United States agricultural wastes such as wheat straw, corn stover and bagasse may predominate while in California rice straw may predominate. However, it should be understood that any available cellulosic biomass may be used in any region. 
     In another embodiment the cellulosic feedstock may be pretreated. Pretreatment may be by elevated temperature and the addition of dilute acid, concentrated acid or dilute alkali solution. The pretreatment solution is added for a time sufficient to at least partially hydrolyze the hemicellulose components and then neutralized. 
     In addition to biomass conversion, GH61 variant polypeptides as described herein can be present in detergent compositions which can include any one or more detergent components, e.g., a surfactant (including anionic, non-ionic and ampholytic surfactants), a hydrolase, building agents, bleaching agents, bluing agents and fluorescent dyes, caking inhibitors, solubilizers, cationic surfactants and the like. All of these components are known in the detergent art. The GH61 variant polypeptide-containing detergent composition can be in any convenient form, including liquid, granule, emulsion, gel, paste, and the like. In certain forms (e.g., granules) the detergent composition can be formulated so as to contain a cellulase protecting agent. (see, e.g., WO1997020025 entitled “Enzymatic detergent compositions”, incorporated herein by reference). In certain embodiments, the GH61 variant polypeptide is present in the detergent compositions from 0.00005 weight percent to 5 weight percent relative to the total detergent composition, e.g., from about 0.0002 weight percent to about 2 weight percent relative to the total detergent composition. 
     As seen from above, GH61 variant polypeptides (and the nucleic acids encoding them) with improved properties as compared to their parent GH61 enzymes find use in improving any of a number of assays and processes that employ glycosyl hydrolases, typically in the presence of at least one cellulase.

     ASSAYS 
     The following assays were used in the examples described below. Any deviations from the protocols provided below are indicated in the examples. In these experiments, a spectrophotometer was used to measure the absorbance of the products formed after the completion of the reactions. 
     I. Measurement of Glucose 
     A. Hexokinase Assay for Measurement of Residual Glucose 
     Glucose produced from whPCS was measured using a hexokinase assay. Ten (10) μL of 10× diluted supernatant was added to 190 μL of a glucose hexokinase assay mixture (Instrumentation Laboratory, Breda, Netherlands) in a 96-well microtiter plate (Costar Flat Bottom PS). The plates were incubated at room temperature for 15 min. Following incubation, absorbance of the supernatant was measured at 340 nm. Supernatants of cultures containing residual glucose were excluded from pooling for further studies. 
     B. ABTS Assay for Measurement of Glucose 
     Monomeric glucose generated in the GH61A Avicel activity assays was detected using the ABTS assay. The assay buffer contained 5.48 g/L 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS, Sigma, catalog no. A1888), 0.2 U/mL horseradish peroxidase Type VI-A (Sigma, catalog no. P8375), and 2 U/mL food grade glucose oxidase (GENENCOR® 5989 U/mL) in 50 mM sodium acetate buffer pH 5.0. Fifty (50) μL GH61A activity assay mix (from the Avicel assay described in VIII below) was added to 50 μL ABTS assay solution. After adding the activity assay mix, the reaction was followed kinetically for 5 min at OD 420 , at ambient temperature of 22° C. An appropriate calibration curve of glucose for each assay condition was always included. 
     C. HPLC Assay for Glucose Concentration Determination 
     Glucose concentrations were determined using an Agilent 1200 (Agilent Technologies) HPLC Equipped with an REZEX RFQ-Fast Fruit H+ (8%) 100×7.8 mm (Phenomenex), The column was operating at 80° C. and a flow rate of 0.9 ml/min with 0.01 N H 2 SO 4  as eluent. Thirty (30) μL of sample was mixed with 90 μL of milliQ and filtered under vacuum over a 0.22 μm Millipore Multiscreen HTS 96 well filtration system. Ten (10 μL) of 4× diluted sample was injected. Appropriate glucose calibration sets were used to determine exact glucose concentrations. 
     II. Protein Purification and Dialysis 
     Supernatants from  H. jecorina  (Δeg1, Δeg2, Δeg3, Δeg5, Δeg6, Δgh61 a, Δcbh1, Δcbh2, Δman1) expressing wild type or variant GH61A were diluted 4× in 1M HEPES pH 8.0 to yield a final volume of 500 μL. The mixture was incubated for 30 minutes, with intermediate mixing (5 times), with 200 μL Biokal Workbead 40 IDA High, charged with 100 mM CuSO 4 . Purified protein sample, present in the flow through, was obtained by centrifuging for 2 min at 1,000 rpm. Purified samples were dialyzed (40×) overnight at 4° C. to 50 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.0 using “Harvard apparatus 96 well dispo dialyzer” 10 kD MWCO (#74-0903) plates. 
     III. Protein Determination by Bradford, Normalization and EndoH Treatment 
     Protein concentrations were determined using the BioRad Bradford assay with BSA as standards. For selected samples the protein concentrations obtained by Bradford were compared with protein data obtained by SEC HPLC and/or RP HPLC with purified GH61A as a reference. Normalization of the GH61A samples to 100 ppm by diluting appropriately with 50 mM NaAC pH 5.0 was done by taking (if needed) a correction factor between the Bradford and HPLC measurement into account, were the HPLC values were directive. Protein samples were treated with 10 ppm endoH glycosidase from  S. plicatus  (e.g., NEB P0702L).and incubated for 4-20 h at 37° C. and 800 rpm. 
     IV. HPLC Assay For Protein Content Determination After Normalisation 
     A. Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) for Protein Determination 
     The concentration of endoH treated and normalized GH61A variant was determined by an Agilent 1200 (Agilent Technologies) HPLC equipped with a Waters Acquity BEH125 SEC 1.7 μm (4.6×150 mm) column. Twenty five (25) μL of sample was mixed with 75 μL of milliQ. Ten (10) μL of the sample was injected on the column. Compounds were eluted using NaH 2 PO 4  pH 6.75 running isocratic for 4.5 min at a flow of 0.35 mL/min. Proteins were detected at a wavelength of 220 nm. Protein concentrations of GH61A variants were determined from a calibration curve generated using purified wild-type GH61A (3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 μg/mL). To calculate performance index (PI), the concentration of a GH61A variant was divided by that of the average wild-type GH61A (e.g., a reference enzyme) in the same plate. 
     B. Reversed Phase Chromatography (RPC) for Protein Determination 
     The concentration of GH61A variant proteins from purified culture supernatants was determined by an Agilent 1200 (Agilent Technologies) HPLC equipped with a Phenomenex Aeris Widepore 3.6 u XB-C8 (50×2.1 mm) column. Ninety (90) μL of sample was mixed with 10 μL of 50% acetonitrile. Ten (10) μL of the sample was injected on the column. Compounds were eluted using the following gradient: Eluent A (0 min, 90%); (1.5 min 70%); (3.5 min 55%); (3.6 min 5%); (4.1 min 5%); (4.2 min 90%); (4.5 min 90%). Eluent A was MilliQ+0.1% TFA and eluent B was acetonitrile+0.07% TFA. Proteins were detected at a wavelength of 220 nm. Protein concentrations of GH61A variants were determined from a calibration curve generated using purified wild-type GH61A (15.625, 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250, 500 μg/mL). To calculate performance index (PI), the concentration of a GH61A variant was divided by that of the average wild-type GH61A (e.g., a reference enzyme) in the same plate. 
     V. Thermostability Assays 
     A. Avicel Assay to Measure Thermostability (also Called “Avicel After”) 
     Residual activity of GH61A polypeptides (including wild type and variants) after heat incubation was determined using the Avicel assay. Twenty five (25) μL aliquots were incubated in quadruplicate in a 96-well PCR plate in a PCR machine at 66° C. for 1 hr. After incubation the residual specific activity of GH61A polypeptides was determined as described below (in section VIII). The relative residual activity of the variants to that of the wild-type enzyme was determined by comparing the averaged specific activity after incubation and the averaged specific activity before incubation. 
     B. Protein Thermal Shift Assay using SYPRO® Orange and RT-PCR Machine (also Called “Tm”) 
     Unfolding of GH61A polypeptide (including wild type and variants) was measured as follows. Twenty five (25) μL GH61A wild type and variant protein sample (non EndoH treated) and 8 (1000 × diluted in 50 mM NaAC pH 5.0) SYPRO® orange were mixed in a 96 well Hard Shell Plate (HSP9645 BioRad). The sample was incubated in a BioRad CFX connect RT-PCR machine. Samples were incubated for 1 min at 30° C. followed by a gradient from 30° C. to 90° C. incrementing every 5 seconds with 0.2° C. Every 5 seconds fluorescence data was collected, data was analyzed using the BioRad CFX manager software. The apparent melting temperature Tm of each GH61A variant was determined and compared to the average (median) Tm of the wild type GH61A as per the method described above. The extent of improvements seen in Tm was recorded. 
     VI. Whole Hydrolysate Dilute Acid Pretreated Corn Stover (whPCS) Hydrolysis Assay Corn stover was pretreated with 2% w/w H 2 SO 4  as described (see, Schell et al.,  J. AppL Biochem. Biotechnol.,  105:69-86, 2003) and titrated to a pH of 5.0 with 3M ammonium hydroxide, a final concentration 0.01% of sodium azide was added for preservation. A sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0) was then added to get a final concentration of 10% solids. The cellulose concentration in the reaction mixture was about 3% Seventy (70) μL of this cellulose suspension was added per well in a 96-well microtiter plate (Corning Flat bottom non binding PS). Two different methods were employed to measure performance on whPCS: A) Fourty seven (47) μL of a 2 g/L enzyme background mixture was added to the whPCS. This enzyme mixture provided CBH:BG:EG enzymes at approximately an 8:1:1 ratio, respectively. Then 22, 11, 5 and 3 μL of a 100 ug/mL purified supernatants from  H. jecorina  cells expressing either wild-type GH61A or a GH61A variant were added to the whPCS/background enzyme mixture. Compensating volumes of sodium acetate buffer were added to make up for the differences in total volume. B) Twenty five (25) μL of a 0.225 g/L enzyme background mixture was added to the whPCS. The enzyme background mixture provided CBH:BG:EG enzymes at approximately a 4:1.5:1 ratio, respectively, as well as accessory xylanase and hemicellulase enzymes (representing approximately 5% and 20% of the enzymes in the mixture). Then 25 μL of a 50 ug/mL purified supernatant from  H. jecorina  cells expressing either wild-type GH61A or a GH61A variant were added to the whPCS/background enzyme mixture. Compensating volumes of sodium acetate buffer were added to make up for the differences in total volume. 
     After sealing, the plates were placed in a thermostatted incubator at 50° C. with continuous shaking at 900 rpm. After 72 hr the plates were put on ice for 5 min and the hydrolysis reaction was stopped by the addition of 100 μL of 100 mM glycine buffer, pH 10, to each well. The plates were sealed and centrifuged at 3,000 rpm at room temperature for 2 min. The glucose released hydrolysis reaction products in the supernatant were analyzed by Hexokinase and/or the HPLC glucose concentration determination method. A dose response curve was generated for wild-type GH61A enzyme. To calculate performance index (PI), the (average) total sugar produced by a variant GH61A was divided by the (average) total sugar produced by the wild-type GH61A (e.g., a reference enzyme) at the same dose. 
     VII. Dilute Ammonia Pretreated Corn Stover (daCS) Hydrolysis Assay 
     Corn stover was ground to pass a 0.9 mm screen then pretreated with dilute ammonia in accordance with the description of PCT Publication WO061 10901, or the published US Patent Applications 20070031918, 20070031919, 2007-0031953, or 20070037259, and titrated to a pH of 5.0 with 1M H 2 SO 4 , a final concentration 0.01% of sodium azide was added for preservation. A sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0) was then added to get a final concentration of 10% solids. The cellulose concentration in the reaction mixture was about 3%. Seventy (70) μL of this cellulose suspension was added per well in a 96-well microtiter plate (Corning, Flat bottom, non-binding). Twenty five (25) μL of a 0.225 g/L enzyme background mixture was added to the daCS. The enzyme background mixture provided CBH:BG:EG enzymes (at approximately 4:1.5:1 ratio, respectively)as well as accessory xylanase and hemicellulase enzymes (representing approximately 5% and 20% of the enzymes in the mixture).Then 25 μL of a 25 ug/mL purified supernatants from  H. jecorina  cells expressing either wild-type GH61A or a GH61A variant were added to the daCS/background enzyme mixture. Compensating volumes of sodium acetate buffer were added to make up for the differences in total volume. After sealing, the plates were placed in a thermostatted incubator at 50° C. with continuous shaking at 900 rpm. After 72 hr the plates were put on ice for 5 min and the hydrolysis reaction was stopped by the addition of 100 μL of 100 mM glycine buffer, pH 10, to each well. The plates were sealed and centrifuged at 3,000 rpm at room temperature for 2 min. The glucose released hydrolysis reaction products in the supernatant were analyzed by the HPLC glucose concentration determination method. A dose response curve was generated for wild-type GH61A enzyme. To calculate performance index (Pl), the (average) total sugar produced by a variant GH61A was divided by the (average) total sugar produced by the wild-type GH61A (e.g., a reference enzyme) at the same dose. 
     VIII. Avicel Activity Assay 
     Avicel was diluted with sodium acetate 50 mM (pH 5.0) to achieve a 3.33% w/v mixture. Seventy five (75) μL of a this suspension was dispensed into a 96-well microtiterplate (Corning Flat bottom non binding PS). Subsequently, 15 μL of 10 mM ascorbic acid, 15 μL 1 mM CuCl 2  and thirty five (35) μL of a 714 μg/mL culture supernatant from a (Δeg1, Δeg2, Δeg3, Δeg5, Δeg6, Δgh61a, Δcbh1, Δcbh2, ΔMan1) strain expressing FAB (see, PCT publication WO2012/125951) was added to the Avicel solution. Then 10 μL of a 100 μg/mL purified GH61A wild-type or GH61A variant were added to the Avicel/FAB mixture. Each wild type and variant was assayed in quadruplicate. The microtiter plate was sealed and incubated in a thermostatted incubator at 50° C. with continuous shaking at 900 rpm. After 20 hr, the hydrolysis reaction was stopped by the addition of 100 μL 100 mM glycine buffer, pH 10 to each well. The plates were sealed and centrifuged at 3,000 rpm at room temperature for 2 min. The hydrolysis reaction products in the supernatant (also called the GH61A activity assay mix in I.B above) were analyzed by the ABTS assay (see I.B, above). A dose response curve was generated for the wild-type GH61A. To calculate performance index (PI), the (average) total sugar produced by a variant GH61A was divided by the (average) total sugar produced by the wild-type GH61A (e.g., a reference enzyme) at the same dose. 
     Example 2 
     I. Generation of  Hypocrea jecorina  GH61A Site Evaluation Libraries (“SELs”) 
       H. jecorina  GH61A enzyme-encoding sequence (SEQ ID NO:1) was cloned into the pTTTpyr2 vector to produce the pTTTpyr2-GH61A plasmid (the pTTTpyr2 vector is similar to the pTTTpyrG vector described in PCT publication WO 2011/063308, incorporated herein by reference, except that the pyrG gene is replaced with the pyr2 gene). The amino acid sequence of the full length GH61A enzyme is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. Using the pTTTpyr2-GH61A plasmid or PTTTpyrG, Site Evaluation Libraries (SELs) were generated at all of the sites in the GH61A mature enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 3) except for amino acid positions 236 to 286 and amino acid residue 314 of SEQ ID NO:3. Wild type GH61A enzymes were produced where an identical amino acid was encoded at a site (e.g., H1H, G2G, etc.).

     For each of the 178 sites selected, typically 14-16 substitution variants were obtained. The SEL variants were received as individually purified plasmids each encoding a GH61A variant sequence substituted at the indicated position. 
     II. Production of GH61A Variants 
     Protoplasts of  H. jecorina  strain (Δeg1, Δeg2, Δeg3, Δeg5, Δeg6, Δgh61 a, Δcbh1, Δcbh2, Δman1) were transformed with the individual pTTTpyr2-GH61A or pTTTpyrG-GH61A SEL constructs (a single GH61A variant per transformation) and grown on selective agar containing acetamide at 28° C. for 7 d as previously described in, for example, PCT Patent Application Publication WO 2009/048488 (incorporated herein by reference). Protoplasts of  H. jecorina  were generated, harvested, replated on acetamide agar, and incubated at 28° C. for 7 d. Spores were harvested in 15% glycerol and stored at −20° C. For GH61A variant production, a volume of 10 μL spore suspension was added to 200 μL of a glycine minimal medium supplemented with 2% glucose/sophorose mixture in a PVDF filter plate. Each GH61A variant was grown in quadruplicate. After sealing the plate with an oxygen permeable membrane, the plates were incubated at 28° C. for 6 d, with shaking at 220 rpm. Supernatants were harvested by transferring the culture medium to a microtiter plate under low pressure. Residual glucose was measured using the hexokinase assay as described in Example 1, section I.A. 
     Example 3 
     Expression, Activity and Performance of GH61A Variants 
       H. jecorina  GH61A SEL variant enzymes were tested for various properties of interest. In particular, the GH61A variants were tested for protein expression as set forth in Example 1, section IV.A or B, thermostability as set forth in Example 1, section V.B (Tm), hydrolysis of whPCS as set forth in Example 1, section VI.A, using the Hexokinase Assay for Measurement of Residual Glucose (whPCS HK), and hydrolysis of whPCS as set forth in Example 1, section VI.B, using the HPLC assay for glucose concentration determination (whPCS HPLC). 
     The performance indices (P1) for each of the GH61A variants tested were determined for both of the whPCS assays noted above, and at above a certain level of protein production. PI is the ratio of performance of the GH61A variant tested to a reference GH61A (i.e., a GH61A having the wild type amino acid at that site). PIs that were less than or equal to 0.05 were generally fixed to 0.05. However, HPLC protein expression values of 0.0 were fixed to 0.04. PI values for GH61A enzymes with wild type residues were set at 1.00. Improvements in Tm were demonstrated by comparison of the Tm measurements of the variants with the average Tm measurement of the wild type parent GH61A. 
     Below is a listing of GH61A substitution variants having an improved property over wild type GH61A (for example, a PI&gt;1.0 for WhPCS HPLC or WhPCS HK, or higher Tm) in at least one of the assays. The GH61A variants fall into the following SEL Cohorts.

     Any one of the GH61A variants from cohorts 1, 2 or 3 find use in the subject invention. Certain GH61A variants are present in more than one SEL Cohort, and are of particular interest as GH61A variants according to aspects of the subject invention, e.g., GH61A variants that are present in SEL Cohorts 1 and 2, SEL Cohorts 1 and 3, SEL Cohorts 2 and 3, or SEL Cohorts 1, 2 and 3. Further, any combination of substitutions from the GH61A variants in SEL Cohorts 1, 2, and/or 3 can be used to generate a combinatorial GH61A variant (i.e., a GH61A variant having more than one substitution). Combinatorial GH61A variants are described in further detail below. 
     In addition to the GH61A variants in SEL Cohorts 1, 2 and 3 above, GH61A substitution variants were identified that, while not having an improved property as compared to wild-type GH61A, displayed wild-type levels of activity in either the whPCS (HPLC) assay, the whPCS (HK) assay, or both. These GH61A variants are as follows, forming what is referred to herein as the Wild-Type SEL Cohort: H1A, H1C, H1E, H1F, H1I, H1L, H1M, H1N, H1Q, H1R, H1S, H1V, H1W, H1Y, G2H, G2K, H3A, H3G, H3M, H3W,

     In certain embodiments of the subject invention, one or a combination of substitutions in this Wild-Type SEL Cohort find use in generating combinatorial GH61A variants with one or more of the substitutions identified in SEL Cohorts 1, 2 and/or 3 above. 
     Using the SEL data described above, Productive positions in GH61A were identified. Productive positions are defined herein as those positions within a molecule that are most useful for making combinatorial variants exhibiting an improved characteristic, where the position itself allows for at least one combinable mutation. Highly combinable mutations are defined herein as mutations at any amino acid position that can be used to make combinatorial variants. Highly combinable mutations improve at least one desired property of the molecule, while not significantly decreasing expression, activity, or stability. Highly combinable mutations can be grouped as follows: 
     Group A: A mutation that produces a variant wherein (1)(a) the minimum performance indices (PI) relative to a defined parent polypeptide in whPCS Hydrolysis Assays as described in section VI in Example 1, are greater than or equal to 0.9; and (b) Tm value is no less than 2° C. below the median Tm of the wild type polypeptide as measured in accordance with section V.B. of Example 1; and (2) (a) the minimum performance indices PI relative to a defined parent polypeptide in whPCS Hydrolysis Assays as described in section VI of Example 1, are greater than or equal to 1.0; or (b) Tm value greater than that of the defined parent polypeptide, as measured in accordance with section V. B of Example 1. 
     Group B: A mutation that produces a variant wherein (1)(a) the minimum performance indices (PI) relative to a defined parent polypeptide for whPCS Hydrolysis Assays as described in section VI in Example 1, are greater than or equal to 0.8; and (b) Tm value is no less than 3° C. below the median Tm of the wild type polypeptide as measured in accordance with section V.B. of Example 1; and (2) (a) the minimum performance indices PI relative to a defined parent polypeptide in whPCS Hydrolysis Assays as described in section VI of Example 1, are greater than or equal to 1.2; or (b) Tm value that is at least 1° C. greater than that of the defined parent polypeptide, as measured in accordance with Section V.B. of Example 1. 
     Group C: A mutation that produces a variant wherein (1)(a) the minimum performance indices (PI) relative to a defined parent polypeptide for whPCS Hydrolysis Assays as described in section VI in Example 1, are greater than or equal to 0.5; and (b) Tm value is no less than 4° C. below the median Tm of the wild type polypeptide as measured in accordance with section V.B. of Example 1; and (2) (a) the minimum performance indices PI relative to a defined parent polypeptide in whPCS Hydrolysis Assays as described in section VI of Example 1, are greater than or equal to 1.5; or (b) Tm value that is at least 3° C. greater than that of the defined parent polypeptide, as measured in accordance with Section V.B. of Example 1. 
     Preferred combinable mutations are at “productive positions,” as described, below. In the case of the present GH61, “activity” refers to GH6I-mediated cellulase augmenting activity, which can be measured as described herein. 
     Productive positions are amino acid positions that are tolerant to substitution with different amino acid residues, wherein the resulting variants meet a set of performance criteria for combinability, as set forth above. Productive positions can be assigned a Productivity Score as follows:
         Positions where less than 15% of the substitutions at a given position fall within groups A, B, or C are given a Productivity Score of “1”.   Positions where less than 40%, but greater than, or equal to 15% of the substitutions at a given position fall within groups A, B, or C are given a Productivity Score of “2”.   Positions where less than 75%, but greater than, or equal to 40% of the substitutions at a given position fall within groups A, B, or C are given a Productivity Score of “3”.   Positions where 75% or more of the substitutions at a given position fall within groups A,       

     B, or C are given a Productivity Score of “4”. 
     Preferred productive positions are highly combinable mutations. 
     Suitability score refers to the ability of one or more highly combinable mutations to be used to make combinatorial variants, based on the performance criteria for combinability, (i.e., A, B, and C, as set forth, above) in which each of the mutations fall. A higher suitability score indicates a mutation or mutations that are more suitable for use in making combinatorial variants. Suitability scores are described in Table 2 below.

     Example 4 
     GH61A Combinatorial Library Variants and the Identification of Highly Combinable and Productive Substitutions 
     Table 4 below lists substitutions in GH61A that were selected from the SELs in Example 3, above, for inclusion in the construction of GH61A combinatorial variant libraries. Some of these variants are present in Table 3 above while others are not. Each individual member of the GH61A combinatorial variant libraries produced based on the substitutions in Table 4 has at least two different amino acid substitutions. The amino acid residue numbers in Table 4 were assigned in reference to the mature amino acid sequence of wild type GH61A, i.e., SEQ ID NO:3. The combinatorial GH61A variant libraries were constructed. It is emphasized here that GH61A substitutions in the SELs above (e.g., SELs in Cohorts 1, 2, 3 and/or the Wild-Type Cohort) that were not selected for combinatorial library construction in this example still find use in combinatorial GH61A variants having improved properties according to aspects of the present invention. The substitutions in Table 4 were selected merely as representative substitutions having improved properties of interest.

     GH61A combinatorial variant-encoding polynucleotides were made using the pTTTpyr2-GH61A vector as a template, transformed into  E. coli,  and plated onto 2×TY agar plates (16 g/L Bacto Tryptone (Difco, USA), 10 g/L Bacto Yeast Extract (Difco, USA), 5 g/L NaCl, 16 g/L Bacto Agar (Difco, USA)) with 100 μg/mL ampicillin. After overnight incubation at 37° C., ampicillin resistant  E. coli  colonies were picked from the 2×TYagar plates containing 100 μg/mL ampicillin and grown for 24 hr at 37° C. in a microtiterplate containing 1 mL of a 2×TYmedium with 100 μg/mL ampicillin and 50 μg/mL kanamycin. These bacterial cultures were used for purification of plasmid DNA. 
     Purified pTTTpyr2-GH61A derived plasmids encoding GH61A combinatorial variants were used at concentrations of 150-300 ng/μL. Five (5) μL of plasmid DNA was used for fungal transformation as described in, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication US2006/0094080 A1. Protoplasts of  H. jecorina  strain (Δegl, Δeg2, Δeg3, Δeg5, Δeg6, Δgh61a Δcbh1, Δcbh2, Δman1) were transformed with individual pTTTpyr2-GH61A constructs (i.e., including a single GH61A variant per transformation) and grown in 24-well microtiter plates on selective medium containing acetamide at 28° C. for 7 d. 
     Spores from the initial population of  H. jecorina  transformants of individual variants were harvested and reselected on acetamide agar plates to increase the number of plasmid-borne spores. Spores were harvested using saline physiological solution, re-arrayed in 96-well microtiter plates, and used for inoculation of a number of production media to generate GH61A variant samples. For this purpose, 96-well filter plates (Corning, Art. No. 3505) containing in each well 250 μL of a glycine production medium, containing 4.7 g/L (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 ; 33 g/L 1,4-piperazinebis(propanesulfonic acid) pH 5.5; 6.0 g/L glycine; 5.0 g/L KH 2 PO 4 ; 1.0 g/L CaCl 2 ×2H 2 O; 1.0 g/L MgSO 4 ×7H 2 O; 2.5 mL/L of 400 ×T. reesei  trace elements, containing 5 g/L FeSO 4 ×7H 2 O, 1.4 g/L ZnSO 4 ×7H 2 O, 1.6 g/L MnSO 4 ×H 2 O, 3.7 g/L CoCl 2 ×6H 2 O; 20 g/L Glucose; and 6.5 g/L Sophorose, were inoculated in quadruplicate with spore suspensions of  H. jecorina  transformants. Plates were incubated at 28° C. and 80% humidity for 6 to 8 d. Culture supernatants were harvested by vacuum filtration. 
     GH61A combinatorial variants were isolated from the culture supernatants and tested for various activities. Two methods of quantitation were used for each GH61A combinatorial variant: SEC as described in section IV.A in Example 1, and RPC as described section IV.B in Example 1. GH61A variants that have increased amounts of enzyme present in the culture supernatant as compared to wild-type GH61A are said to have improved production (or yield). Improved thermostability in variants were determined, for example, using the Thermostability Assay as described in section V.B of Example 1 (Tm). Performance index (PI) values were determined for the purified GH61A combinatorial variants (both SEC and RPC) in one or more of the following assays: (i) whPCS Hydrolysis Assay as described in section VI in Example 1 (whPCS); (ii) daCS Hydrolysis Assay as described in section VII in Example 1 (daCS); and (iii) Avicel Activity as described in section VIII in Example 1 above (Avicel). 
     Below is a listing of combinatorial GH61A variants having an improved property (e.g., improved production, improved thermostability)/improved PI over wild type GH61A (i.e., a PI&gt;1.0) in at least one of the assays described above. The GH61A variants fall into the following Combinatorial Cohorts.

     Any one of the combinatorial GH61A variants in Combinatorial Cohorts 1 to 7 finds use in aspects of the subject invention. As with the single SEL variants described in the previous section, a number of combinatorial GH61A variants fall into more than one Combinatorial Cohort above. Thus, combinatorial GH61A variants that fall into 2 or more, 3 or more, 4 or more, 5 or more, 6 or more, or all 7 of the Combinatorial Cohorts above find use in aspects of the subject invention (e.g., combinatorial GH61A variant K64L-K70N-A168E is in all 7 of the Combinatorial Cohorts above). As such, GH61A combinatorial variants having a similar combination of improved properties/PIs (i.e., that fall into the same Combinatorial Cohorts) form unique functional groups. 
     The data obtained for each of the combinatorial GH61A variants generated above were analyzed using a linear model deconvolution method, wherein the individual impact of substitutions on each property was deconvoluted using simple linear model regression assuming additivity of all substitutions (using no interaction terms). Ihaka et al., “A Language for Data Analysis and Graphics” J. Comput. Graphical Statistics 1996, 5(3): 299-314. Specifically, linear modeling was conducted using the Im function in the base package of R (reference below) after converting all sites of substitutions into factor variables with the wild-type amino acid as the first factor. The effect of each specific substitution in GH61A on Tm, protein production (yield), performance in a daCS assay, and performance in a whPCS assay were thus deconvoluted. GH61A substitutions that correlate with an improvement in one or more of Tm, protein production (yield), performance in a daCS assay, and performance in a whPCS assay are listed in the following Deconvoluted Cohorts. 
     Deconvoluted Cohort 1: Substitutions in GH61A that correlate with improved activity in a daCS assay: N10D, N51E, K58V, K64L, K70S, K70E, V104A, K106C, T108K, T108A, T127I, A129N, Q167K, D197A, D197M, A201D, T287A, Y291F, Y291W, G295T, G295C, S297E, S300T, T303G, T303P, R304D, R304P, T313K, N315W, P316F, Y317W, Q320A, Q320P, and Q320S. 
     Deconvoluted Cohort 2: Substitutions in GH61A that correlate with improved activity in a whPCS assay: N10D, A16N, N51E, P52F, K58V, K64L, K70N, T107G, T107Q, T107E, T107N, T108K, T127I, S185D, D197L, H200A, T287A, Y291F, S297E, T313K, P316A, and P316F. 
     Deconvoluted Cohort 3: Substitutions in GH61A that correlate with improved Tm: A16N, N51H, N51T, K70N, K70L, T107N, T107M, D124N, T127I, S164M, Q167K, A168K, S187D, D197E, G235K, T287A, L290A, S297C, G298C, G301S, G301P, T313K, P316A, Y318W, and Q320A. 
     Deconvoluted Cohort 4: Substitutions in GH61A that correlate with improved production (yield): A16N, N51H, N51T, K70N, V80T, T107E, T108K, S135E, S187D, D197E, G235K, G235L, G235S, T287A, L290M, and P316A. 
     Any one or any combination of GH61A substitutions in Deconvoluted Cohorts 1, 2, 3 and/or 4 find use in aspects of the subject invention. As with the single SEL variants described in the previous section, a number of GH61A substitutions fall into more than one Deconvoluted Cohort above. Thus, GH61A substitutions that fall into 2 or more, 3 or more, or all 4 of the 
     Deconvoluted Cohorts above find use in aspects of the subject invention (e.g., GH61A substitution T287A is in all 4 of the Deconvoluted Cohorts above). As such, GH61A combinatorial variants having a similar combination of improved properties (i.e., that fall into the same Deconvoluted Cohorts) form unique functional groups. As but one example, the following GH61A substitutions fall into both Deconvoluted Cohorts 1 and 2 above (but not necessarily exclusively; e.g., T287A also falls into Deconvoluted Cohorts 3 and 4): N10D, N51E, K58V, K64L, T108K, T127I, T287A, Y291F, S297E, T313K, and P316F. 
     An addition combinatorial GH61A variant library was constructed and tested in: (i) Thermostability Assay as described section V.B in Example 1 (Tm) (ii) whPCS Hydrolysis Assay as described in section VI.A in Example 1 (whPCS-A); (iii) whPCS Hydrolysis Assay as described in section VI.B in Example 1 (whPCS-B) (iv) daCS Hydrolysis Assay as described in section VII in Example 1 (daCS). 
     Below is a listing of combinatorial GH61A variants from this additional combinatorial GH61A variant library having an improved property (e.g., improved Tm)/improved PI over wild type GH61A (i.e., a PI&gt;1.0) in at least one of the assays described above. The GH61A variants fall into the following Combinatorial Cohorts. Some Combinatorial Cohorts below are the same as the Combinatorial Cohorts described for the previous combinatorial GH61A library above and thus are noted as being a “Supplement” to the previous Combinatorial Cohort.

     Any one of the combinatorial GH61A variants in Combinatorial Cohorts 8 to 11 finds use in aspects of the subject invention. As with the single SEL variants described in the previous section, a number of combinatorial GH61A variants fall into more than one Combinatorial Cohort 8 to 11. Thus, combinatorial GH61A variants that fall into 2 or more, 3 or more, or all 4 of Combinatorial Cohorts 8 to 11 above find use in aspects of the subject invention (e.g., combinatorial GH61A variant T287D-S297E is in all 4 of the Combinatorial Cohorts 8 to 11 above). As such, GH61A combinatorial variants having a similar combination of improved properties/PIs (i.e., that fall into the same Combinatorial Cohorts) form unique functional groups.
