Patent ID: 7867745

Claim:
An isolated polypeptide having alpha-glucuronidase activity, selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide that hybridizes under high stringency conditions with the complementary strand of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the high stringency conditions are defined as prehybridization and hybridization at 42° C. in 5×SSPE, 0.3% SDS, 200 micrograms/ml sheared and denatured salmon sperm DNA, and 50% formamide, followed by washing three times each for 15 minutes using 2×SSC, 0.2% SDS at 65° C.; and (c) a fragment of SEQ ID NO: 2 that has alpha-glucuronidase activity.
