Abstract:
The invention relates to a variant polypeptide having lactase activity. The invention also relates to a nucleic acid sequence encoding such a variant polypeptide, to a nucleic acid construct comprising said nucleic acid sequence, to a recombinant expression vector comprising said nucleic acid construct and to a recombinant host cell comprising said expression vector. Further, the invention relates to a method for producing a lactase variant via use of such a host cell. Also, the invention relates to a method of producing a lactase polypeptide variant. The invention further relates to a composition comprising a lactase variant, to use of such a lactase variant or to the use of a lactase variant-containing composition in the preparation of a dairy product, to a process for the production of a dairy product and to the resulting dairy product.

Claim (Index 28):
A method of producing a lactase polypeptide variant, which method comprises:\n (a) selecting a polypeptide having lactase activity; (b) substituting at least one amino acid residue corresponding to any of 233, 257, 258, 263, 274, 284, 297, 415, 440, 483, 619, 621, 622, 633, 862 or 1004, said position being defined with reference to SEQ ID NO:2; (c) optionally substituting one or more further amino acids as defined in (b); (d) preparing the variant resulting from (a)-(c); (e) determining a property of the variant; (f) selecting a variant having an altered property in comparison to the polypeptide of (a), thereby producing a lactase polypeptide variant.
