Description of the Related Art
[0004] Compositions comprising enzyme mixtures including RNases are
described in WO 2004/0441988 (Marion Karine). The compositions are
useful for removal of biofilm in the medical field, such as on
analytical instruments and other equipment. WO 2006/031554
(Novozymes) describes methods for preventing, removing, reducing or
disrupting biofilm on a surface. The methods disclosed use
alpha-amylases, which may be combined with other enzymes including
RNases. However, no specific RNase and no effect of the use of
RNase is disclosed. Similar disclosure may be found, e.g., in WO
2008/153805 (Danisco US). The use in cleaning processes of RNases
for removal of RNA staining on fabrics is not described in the
prior art. The present invention provides novel RNases particularly
suitable for reduction or removal of RNase soiling comprised in
organic matter such as biofilm from a fabric, e.g., textiles.

Definitions
[0047] The term "RNase" is an abbreviation of the term
ribonuclease, which means a nuclease having RNase activity (EC
3.1.2.7) that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller
components. Ribonucleases can be divided into endoribonucleases and
exoribonucleases; the present invention relates to, e.g.,
endoribonucleases. For purposes of the present invention, RNase
activity is determined according to the procedure described in the
Examples. In one aspect, the polypeptides of the present invention
have at least 20%, e.g., at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%,
at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least
100% of the RNase activity of the any of the mature polypeptides
shown in SEQ ID NO: 3, 6, 9, 12 or 15.
[0048] The term "allelic variant" means any of two or more
alternative forms of a gene occupying the same chromosomal locus.
Allelic variation arises naturally through mutation, and may result
in polymorphism within populations. Gene mutations can be silent
(no change in the encoded polypeptide) or may encode polypeptides
having altered amino acid sequences. An allelic variant of a
polypeptide is a polypeptide encoded by an allelic variant of a
gene.
[0049] The term "biofilm" means a film produced by any group of
microorganisms in which cells stick to each other or stick to a
surface, such as a textile, dishware or hard surface or another
kind of surface. These adherent cells are frequently embedded
within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance
(EPS). Biofilm EPS is a polymeric conglomeration generally composed
of extracellular DNA, proteins, and polysaccharides. Biofilms may
form on living or non-living surfaces. The microbial cells growing
in a biofilm are physiologically distinct from planktonic cells of
the same organism, which, by contrast, are single-cells that may
float or swim in a liquid medium. Bacteria living in a biofilm
usually have significantly different properties from planktonic
bacteria of the same species, as the dense and protected
environment of the film allows them to cooperate and interact in
various ways. One benefit of this environment for the
microorganisms is increased resistance to detergents and
antibiotics, as the dense extracellular matrix and the outer layer
of cells protect the interior of the community. On laundry biofilm
producing bacteria can be found among species including
Acinetobactersp., Aeromicrobium sp., Brevundimonas sp.,
Microbacterium sp., Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas sp.,
Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Stenotrophomonas sp. On hard
surfaces biofilm producing bacteria can be found among the
following species: Acinetobacter sp., Aeromicrobium sp.,
Brevundimonas sp., Microbacterium sp., Micrococcus luteus,
Pseudomonas sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus
and Stenotrophomonas sp.
[0050] The term "cDNA" means a DNA molecule that can be prepared by
reverse transcription from a mature, spliced, mRNA molecule
obtained from a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell. cDNA lacks intron
sequences that may be present in the corresponding genomic DNA. The
initial, primary RNA transcript is a precursor to mRNA that is
processed through a series of steps, including splicing, before
appearing as mature spliced mRNA.
[0051] The term "coding sequence" means a polynucleotide which
directly specifies the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide. The
boundaries of the coding sequence are generally determined by an
open reading frame, which begins with a start codon such as ATG,
GTG, or TTG and ends with a stop codon such as TAA, TAG, or TGA.
The coding sequence may be a genomic DNA, cDNA, synthetic DNA, or a
combination thereof.
[0052] The term "control sequences" means nucleic acid sequences
necessary for expression of a polynucleotide encoding a mature
polypeptide of the present invention. Each control sequence may be
native (i.e., from the same gene) or foreign (i.e., from a
different gene) to the polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide or
native or foreign to each other. Such control sequences include,
but are not limited to, a leader, polyadenylation sequence,
propeptide sequence, promoter, signal peptide sequence, and
transcription terminator. At a minimum, the control sequences
include a promoter, and transcriptional and translational stop
signals. The control sequences may be provided with linkers for the
purpose of introducing specific restriction sites facilitating
ligation of the control sequences with the coding region of the
polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide.
[0053] The term "deep cleaning" means in this context disruption,
reduction or removal of organic components such as polysaccharides,
proteins, RNA, DNA, soil or other components present in organic
matter such as biofilm.
[0054] The term "detergent adjunct ingredient" refers to
ingredients different from the RNases of this invention. The
precise nature of these additional adjunct components, and levels
of incorporation thereof, will depend on the physical form of the

agents, anti-foaming agents, dispersants, processing aids, and/or
pigments.
[0055] The term "detergent composition" refers to compositions that
find use in the removal of undesired compounds from items to be
cleaned, such as textiles. The terms "detergent compositions" and
"cleaning compositions" are used interchangeably in the present
application. The detergent composition may be used to, e.g., clean
textiles for both household cleaning and industrial cleaning. The
terms encompass any materials/compounds selected for the particular
type of cleaning composition desired and the form of the product
(e.g., liquid, gel, powder, granulate, paste, or spray
compositions) and include, but are not limited to, detergent
compositions such as liquid and/or solid laundry detergents and
fine fabric detergents; fabric fresheners; fabric softeners; and
textile and laundry pre-spotters/pretreatment. In addition to
containing the enzyme of the invention, the detergent formulation
may contain one or more additional enzymes (such as proteases,
amylases, lipases, cutinases, cellulases, endoglucanases,
xyloglucanases, pectinases, pectin lyases, xanthanases,
peroxidases, haloperoxygenases, catalases and mannanases, or any
mixture thereof), and/or detergent adjunct ingredients such as
surfactants, builders, chelators or chelating agents, bleach
systems or bleach components, polymers, fabric conditioners, foam
boosters, suds suppressors, dyes, perfume, tannish inhibitors,
optical brighteners, bactericides, fungicides, soil suspending
agents, anti-corrosion agents, enzyme inhibitors or stabilizers,

comprising at least 6 histidine residues, that may be added to the
N- or C-terminal. His-tags are known in the art for use in, e.g.,
protein purification, but may also be used for improving solubility
at low pH values. Similarly, an "HQ-tag", i.e., a
histidine-glutamine tag, may also be used for the purpose of
purification as is known in the art.
[0059] The term "host cell" means any cell type that is susceptible
to transformation, transfection, transduction, or the like with a

the parent cell due to mutations that occur during replication.
[0060] The term "isolated" means a substance in a form or
environment that does not occur in nature. Non-limiting examples of
isolated substances include (1) any non-naturally occurring
substance, (2) any substance including, but not limited to, any
enzyme, variant, nucleic acid, protein, peptide or cofactor, that
is at least partially removed from one or more or all of the
naturally occurring constituents with which it is associated in
nature; (3) any substance modified by the hand of man relative to
that substance found in nature; or (4) any substance modified by
increasing the amount of the substance relative to other components
with which it is naturally associated (e.g., recombinant production
in a host cell; multiple copies of a gene encoding the substance;
and use of a stronger promoter than the promoter naturally
associated with the gene encoding the substance). An isolated
substance may be present in a fermentation broth sample; e.g., a
host cell may be genetically modified to express the polypeptide of
the invention. The fermentation broth from that host cell will
comprise the isolated polypeptide.
[0061] The term "laundering" relates to both household laundering
and industrial laundering and means the process of treating
textiles with a solution containing a cleaning or detergent
composition of the present invention. The laundering process can
for example be carried out using, e.g., a household or an
industrial washing machine or can be carried out by hand.
[0062] The term "malodor" means an odor which is not desired on
clean items. The cleaned item should smell fresh and clean without
malodors adhered to the item. One example of malodor is compounds
with an unpleasant smell which may be produced by microorganisms
and trapped within a biofilm or stick to the "glue" of a biofilm.
Other examples of unpleasant smells are sweat or body odor adhered
to an item which has been in contact with a human or animal. Other
examples of malodor are odors from spices which stick to items, for
example curry or other exotic spices with a strong smell.

preferably version 5.0.0 or later. The parameters used are gap open
penalty of 10, gap extension penalty of 0.5, and the EBLOSUM62
(EMBOSS version of BLOSUM62) substitution matrix. The output of

acids.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Polypeptides Having RNase Activity
[0107] The present invention relates to polypeptides having RNase
activity, i.e., RNases. The RNases of the present invention are
useful in cleaning compositions and are effective in deep cleaning
of surfaces such as fabrics. The RNases of the present invention
are effective in reducing or removing biofilm. Biofilm is an
extracellular matrix produced by various microorganisms. The
extracellular polymeric matrix is composed of polysaccharides,
extracellular RNA, DNA and proteins. The biofilm may be sticky or
glueing, which when present on textile may give rise to
redeposition or backstaining of soil resulting in a greying of the
textile. Another drawback is that biofilms often cause malodor as
various malodor-related molecules are trapped within the biofilm
structure. The RNases of the invention are therefore useful for
prevention, reduction or removal of malodor and for prevention or
reduction of redeposition and improving whiteness.
[0108] The polypeptides of the invention having RNase activity
comprise a domain from the RNase Barnase (Swiss Prot P00648 (SEQ ID
NO: 34), PF00545 family) as well as the clusters such as the
clades. A clade is a grouping that has a shared phylogeny and
includes a common ancestor and all the descendants (living and
extinct) of that ancestor
(http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/0_0_0/evo_06).
Thus, in the present context a clade refers to a subgroup of
closely related RNases.
[0109] A phylogenetic tree was constructed of polypeptide sequences
containing a Barnase domain, as defined in PFAM (PF000545, Pfam
version 30.0 Finn, 2016, Nucleic Acids Research, Database Issue 44:
D279-D285). The phylogenetic tree was constructed from a multiple
alignment of mature polypeptide sequences containing at least one
Barnase domain. The sequences were aligned using the MUSCLE
algorithm version 3.8.31 (Edgar, 2004. Nucleic Acids Research
32(5): 1792-1797), and the trees were constructed using FastTree
version 2.1.8 (Price et al., 2010, PloS one 5(3)) and visualized
using iTOL (Letunic & Bork, 2007, Bioinformatics 23(1):
127-128). The polypeptides comprising the Barnase domain can be
separated into multiple distinct sub-clusters, or clades, where we
denoted the clades listed below. Distinct motifs for each clade are
described in Example 10.
[0110] In one embodiment of the invention the RNases of the
invention belong to a specific subgroup or clade comprising one or
more motif(s) EYTV (SEQ ID NO: 28), [YRF]E[AYFWC]D (SEQ ID NO: 29),
IGGD (SEQ ID NO: 30), YPH (SEQ ID NO: 31), HTGA (SEQ ID NO: 32) or
DRV (SEQ ID NO:33).
[0111] In one aspect, the polypeptide of the invention having RNase
activity belongs to the EYTV clade and comprises the motif EYTV
(SEQ ID NO: 28). In one embodiment of this aspect, the polypeptide
comprises the extended motif YXEYTVXTPXXXXRGXRR (SEQ ID NO: 78),
wherein each X independently may be any naturally occurring amino
acid.
[0112] In one aspect, the polypeptide of the invention having RNase
activity belongs to the EAD clade and comprises one or more of the
motif(s) [YRF]E[AYFWC]D (SEQ ID NO: 29) or IGGD (SEQ ID NO: 30). In
one embodiment of this aspect, the polypeptide comprises the
extended motif [WY][YRF]E[AYFWC]D[IV] (SEQ ID NO: 79). In another
embodiment, the polypeptide comprises the extended motif
GXXIGGDXFXN (SEQ ID NO: 80), wherein each X independently may be
any naturally occurring amino acid.
[0113] In one aspect, the polypeptide of the invention having RNase
activity belongs to the YPH clade and comprises one or more of the
motif(s) YPH (SEQ ID NO: 31), HTGA (SEQ ID NO: 32) or DRV (SEQ ID
NO: 33). In one embodiment of this aspect, the polypeptide
comprises the extended motif YPHX[YFA]X[ND]XE (SEQ ID NO: 81),
wherein each X independently may be any naturally occurring amino
acid. In another embodiment, the polypeptide comprises the extended
motif PGXDRV (SEQ ID NO: 82), wherein X may be any naturally
occurring amino acid. In another embodiment, the polypeptide
comprises the extended motif THTGA[SR]G (SEQ ID NO: 83).

[0218] In one embodiment, the present invention relates to variants
of the mature polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 73 comprising a
substitution, deletion, and/or insertion at one or more (e.g.,

substitutions, deletions and/or insertions introduced into the
mature polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 73 is up to 10, e.g., 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10.
[0219] The amino acid changes may be of a minor nature, that is
conservative amino acid substitutions or insertions that do not
significantly affect the folding and/or activity of the protein;
small deletions, typically of 1-30 amino acids; small amino- or
carboxyl-terminal extensions, such as an amino-terminal methionine
residue; a small linker peptide of up to 20-25 residues; or a small
extension that facilitates purification by changing net charge or
another function, such as a poly-histidine tract, an antigenic
epitope or a binding domain.
[0220] Examples of conservative substitutions are within the groups
of basic amino acids (arginine, lysine and histidine), acidic amino
acids (glutamic acid and aspartic acid), polar amino acids
(glutamine and asparagine), hydrophobic amino acids (leucine,
isoleucine and valine), aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine,
tryptophan and tyrosine), and small amino acids (glycine, alanine,
serine, threonine and methionine). Amino acid substitutions that do
not generally alter specific activity are known in the art and are
described, for example, by H. Neurath and R. L. Hill, 1979, In, The
Proteins, Academic Press, New York. Common substitutions are
Ala/Ser, Val/Ile, Asp/Glu, Thr/Ser, Ala/Gly, Ala/Thr, Ser/Asn,
Ala/Val, Ser/Gly, Tyr/Phe, Ala/Pro, Lys/Arg, Asp/Asn, Leu/Ile,
Leu/Val, Ala/Glu, and Asp/Gly.
[0221] Essential amino acids in a polypeptide can be identified
according to procedures known in the art, such as site-directed
mutagenesis or alanine-scanning mutagenesis (Cunningham and Wells,
1989, Science 244: 1081-1085). In the latter technique, single
alanine mutations are introduced at every residue in the molecule,
and the resultant molecules are tested for RNase activity to
identify amino acid residues that are critical to the activity of
the molecule. See also, Hilton et al., 1996, J. Biol. Chem. 271:
4699-4708. The active site of the enzyme or other biological
interaction can also be determined by physical analysis of
structure, as determined by such techniques as nuclear magnetic
resonance, crystallography, electron diffraction, or photoaffinity
labeling, in conjunction with mutation of putative contact site
amino acids. See, for example, de Vos et al., 1992, Science 255:
306-312; Smith et al., 1992, J. Mol. Biol. 224: 899-904; Wlodaver
et al., 1992, FEBS Lett. 309: 59-64. The identity of essential
amino acids can also be inferred from an alignment with a related
polypeptide. By such alignment to Barnase from B. amyloliquifaciens
SWISSPROT:P00648 the following active site residues were identified
in the mature sequences as follows: SEQ ID:3 His130, Glu101; SEQ
ID:6 His110, Glu82; SEQ ID:9 His123, Glu93 and SEQ ID:12 His150,
Glu121.
[0222] The RNase Barnase, Swiss Prot P00648 (SEQ ID NO: 34) from
the PF00545 family of ribonucleases catalyzes hydrolysis at
diribonucleotide GpN sites. Cleavage occurs in two steps using a
general acid-base mechanism: a cyclic intermediate is formed during
the first transesterification step, which is then hydrolyzed to
release the cleaved RNA. The two most important residues involved
in catalysis are Glu73 and His102, which are both believed to be
essential for enzymatic activity. Glu73 is the general base whilst
His102 is the general acid. Barnase has no disulfide bonds, nor
does it require divalent cations or non-peptide components to
fold.
[0223] Single or multiple amino acid substitutions, deletions,
and/or insertions can be made and tested using known methods of
mutagenesis, recombination, and/or shuffling, followed by a
relevant screening procedure, such as those disclosed by
Reidhaar-Olson and Sauer, 1988, Science 241: 53-57; Bowie and
Sauer, 1989, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86: 2152-2156; WO 95/17413;
or WO 95/22625. Other methods that can be used include error-prone
PCR, phage display (e.g., Lowman et al., 1991, Biochemistry 30:
10832-10837; U.S. Pat. No. 5,223,409; WO 92/06204), and
region-directed mutagenesis (Derbyshire et al., 1986, Gene 46: 145;
Ner et al., 1988, DNA 7: 127).
[0224] Mutagenesis/shuffling methods can be combined with
high-throughput, automated screening methods to detect activity of
cloned, mutagenized polypeptides expressed by host cells (Ness et
al., 1999, Nature Biotechnology 17: 893-896). Mutagenized DNA
molecules that encode active polypeptides can be recovered from the
host cells and rapidly sequenced using standard methods in the art.
These methods allow the rapid determination of the importance of
individual amino acid residues in a polypeptide.
[0225] The polypeptide may be a hybrid polypeptide in which a
region of one polypeptide is fused at the N-terminus or the
C-terminus of a region of another polypeptide.
[0226] The polypeptide may be a fusion polypeptide or cleavable
fusion polypeptide in which another polypeptide is fused at the
N-terminus or the C-terminus of the polypeptide of the present
invention. A fusion polypeptide is produced by fusing a
polynucleotide encoding another polypeptide to a polynucleotide of
the present invention. Techniques for producing fusion polypeptides
are known in the art, and include ligating the coding sequences
encoding the polypeptides so that they are in frame and that
expression of the fusion polypeptide is under control of the same
promoter(s) and terminator. Fusion polypeptides may also be
constructed using intein technology in which fusion polypeptides
are created post-translationally (Cooper et al., 1993, EMBO J. 12:
2575-2583; Dawson et al., 1994, Science 266: 776-779).
[0227] A fusion polypeptide can further comprise a cleavage site
between the two polypeptides. Upon secretion of the fusion protein,
the site is cleaved releasing the two polypeptides. Examples of
cleavage sites include, but are not limited to, the sites disclosed
in Martin et al., 2003, J. Ind. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 3: 568-576;
Svetina et al., 2000, J. Biotechnol. 76: 245-251; Rasmussen-Wilson
et al., 1997, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 63: 3488-3493; Ward et al.,
1995, Biotechnology 13: 498-503; and Contreras et al., 1991,
Biotechnology 9: 378-381; Eaton et al., 1986, Biochemistry 25:
505-512; Collins-Racie et al., 1995, Biotechnology 13: 982-987;

[0241] It will be understood that for the aforementioned species,

above-mentioned probes. Techniques for isolating microorganisms and
DNA directly from natural habitats are well known in the art. A
polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide may then be obtained by
similarly screening a genomic DNA or cDNA library of another
microorganism or mixed DNA sample. Once a polynucleotide encoding a

can be isolated or cloned by utilizing techniques that are known to
those of ordinary skill in the art (see, e.g., Sambrook et al.,
1989, supra).

at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least

[0262] In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a

has been isolated.
[0263] The techniques used to isolate or clone a polynucleotide are
known in the art and include isolation from genomic DNA or cDNA, or
a combination thereof. The cloning of the polynucleotides from
genomic DNA can be effected, e.g., by using the well-known
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or antibody screening of expression
libraries to detect cloned DNA fragments with shared structural
features. See, e.g., Innis et al., 1990, PCR: A Guide to Methods
and Application, Academic Press, New York. Other nucleic acid
amplification procedures such as ligase chain reaction (LCR),
ligation activated transcription (LAT) and polynucleotide-based
amplification (NASBA) may be used. The polynucleotides may be
cloned from a strain of Paenibacillus, Amycolatopsis,
Stenotrophomonas, Erwinia, Saccharothrix, Saccharopolyspora,
Amycolatopsis, Alkalimonas, Nonomuraea or a related organism and
thus, for example, may be an allelic or species variant of the
polypeptide encoding region of the polynucleotide. The
polynucleotides may also be cloned, e.g., from a strain of
Acremonium, Trichoderma or Fusarium.
[0264] Modification of a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide of
the present invention may be necessary for synthesizing
polypeptides substantially similar to the polypeptide. The term
"substantially similar" to the polypeptide refers to non-naturally
occurring forms of the polypeptide.
Nucleic Acid Constructs
[0265] The present invention also relates to nucleic acid
constructs comprising a polynucleotide of the present invention
operably linked to one or more control sequences that direct the
expression of the coding sequence in a suitable host cell under
conditions compatible with the control sequences.
[0266] The polynucleotide may be manipulated in a variety of ways
to provide for expression of the polypeptide. Manipulation of the
polynucleotide prior to its insertion into a vector may be
desirable or necessary depending on the expression vector. The
techniques for modifying polynucleotides utilizing recombinant DNA
methods are well known in the art.
[0267] The control sequence may be a promoter, a polynucleotide
that is recognized by a host cell for expression of a
polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide of the present invention. The
promoter contains transcriptional control sequences that mediate
the expression of the polypeptide. The promoter may be any
polynucleotide that shows transcriptional activity in the host cell
including variant, truncated, and hybrid promoters, and may be
obtained from genes encoding extracellular or intracellular
polypeptides either homologous or heterologous to the host
cell.
[0268] Examples of suitable promoters for directing transcription
of the nucleic acid constructs of the present invention in a
bacterial host cell are the promoters obtained from the Bacillus
amyloliquefaciens alpha-amylase gene (amyQ), Bacillus licheniformis
alpha-amylase gene (amyL), Bacillus licheniformis penicillinase
gene (penP), Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase gene
(amyM), Bacillus subtilis levansucrase gene (sacB), Bacillus
subtilis xylA and xylB genes, Bacillus thuringiensis cryIIIA gene

301-315), Streptomyces coelicolor agarase gene (dagA), and

Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 75: 3727-3731), as well as the tac promoter
(DeBoer et al., 1983, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80: 21-25).
Further promoters are described in "Useful proteins from
recombinant bacteria" in Gilbert et al., 1980, Scientific American
242: 74-94; and in Sambrook et al., 1989, supra. Examples of tandem
promoters are disclosed in WO 99/43835.
[0269] Examples of suitable promoters for directing transcription
of the nucleic acid constructs of the present invention in a
filamentous fungal host cell are promoters obtained from the genes
for Aspergillus nidulans acetamidase, Aspergillus niger neutral
alpha-amylase, Aspergillus niger acid stable alpha-amylase,

Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase, Aspergillus oryzae alkaline
protease, Aspergillus oryzae triose phosphate isomerase, Fusarium

reesei endoglucanase III, Trichoderma reesei endoglucanase V,

Trichoderma reesei xylanase III, Trichoderma reesei
beta-xylosidase, and Trichoderma reesei translation elongation
factor, as well as the NA2-tpi promoter (a modified promoter from
an Aspergillus neutral alpha-amylase gene in which the untranslated
leader has been replaced by an untranslated leader from an
Aspergillus triose phosphate isomerase gene; non-limiting examples
include modified promoters from an Aspergillus niger neutral
alpha-amylase gene in which the untranslated leader has been
replaced by an untranslated leader from an Aspergillus nidulans or
Aspergillus oryzae triose phosphate isomerase gene); and variant,
truncated, and hybrid promoters thereof. Other promoters are
described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,011,147.
[0270] In a yeast host, useful promoters are obtained from the
genes for Saccharomyces cerevisiae enolase (ENO-1), Saccharomyces
cerevisiae galactokinase (GAL1), Saccharomyces cerevisiae alcohol
dehydrogenase/glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (ADH1,
ADH2/GAP), Saccharomyces cerevisiae triose phosphate isomerase
(TPI), Saccharomyces cerevisiae metallothionein (CUP1), and
Saccharomyces cerevisiae 3-phosphoglycerate kinase. Other useful
promoters for yeast host cells are described by Romanos et al.,
1992, Yeast 8: 423-488.
[0271] The control sequence may also be a transcription terminator,
which is recognized by a host cell to terminate transcription. The
terminator is operably linked to the 3'-terminus of the
polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide. Any terminator that is
functional in the host cell may be used in the present
invention.
[0272] Preferred terminators for bacterial host cells are obtained
from the genes for Bacillus clausii alkaline protease (aprH),
Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase (amyL), and Escherichia coli
ribosomal RNA (rrnB).
[0273] Preferred terminators for filamentous fungal host cells are
obtained from the genes for Aspergillus nidulans acetamidase,
Aspergillus nidulans anthranilate synthase, Aspergillus niger
glucoamylase, Aspergillus niger alpha-glucosidase, Aspergillus
oryzae TAKA amylase, Fusarium oxysporum trypsin-like protease,
Trichoderma reesei beta-glucosidase, Trichoderma reesei
cellobiohydrolase I, Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase II,
Trichoderma reesei endoglucanase I, Trichoderma reesei
endoglucanase II, Trichoderma reesei endoglucanase III, Trichoderma
reesei endoglucanase V, Trichoderma reesei xylanase I, Trichoderma
reesei xylanase II, Trichoderma reesei xylanase III, Trichoderma
reesei beta-xylosidase, and Trichoderma reesei translation
elongation factor.
[0274] Preferred terminators for yeast host cells are obtained from
the genes for Saccharomyces cerevisiae enolase, Saccharomyces
cerevisiae cytochrome C (CYC1), and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Other useful terminators
for yeast host cells are described by Romanos et al., 1992,
supra.
[0275] The control sequence may also be an mRNA stabilizer region
downstream of a promoter and upstream of the coding sequence of a
gene which increases expression of the gene.
[0276] Examples of suitable mRNA stabilizer regions are obtained
from a Bacillus thuringiensis ctyIIIA gene (WO 94/25612) and a
Bacillus subtilis SP82 gene (Hue et al., 1995, Journal of
Bacteriology 177: 3465-3471).
[0277] The control sequence may also be a leader, a nontranslated
region of an mRNA that is important for translation by the host
cell. The leader is operably linked to the 5'-terminus of the
polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide. Any leader that is
functional in the host cell may be used.
[0278] Preferred leaders for filamentous fungal host cells are
obtained from the genes for Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase and
Aspergillus nidulans triose phosphate isomerase. Suitable leaders
for yeast host cells are obtained from the genes for Saccharomyces
cerevisiae enolase (ENO-1), Saccharomyces cerevisiae
3-phosphoglycerate kinase, Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-factor,
and Saccharomyces cerevisiae alcohol
dehydrogenase/glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
(ADH2/GAP).
[0279] The control sequence may also be a polyadenylation sequence,
a sequence operably linked to the 3'-terminus of the polynucleotide
and, when transcribed, is recognized by the host cell as a signal
to add polyadenosine residues to transcribed mRNA. Any
polyadenylation sequence that is functional in the host cell may be
used.
[0280] Preferred polyadenylation sequences for filamentous fungal
host cells are obtained from the genes for Aspergillus nidulans
anthranilate synthase, Aspergillus niger glucoamylase, Aspergillus
niger alpha-glucosidase Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase, and
Fusarium oxysporum trypsin-like protease.
[0281] Useful polyadenylation sequences for yeast host cells are
described by Guo and Sherman, 1995, Mol. Cellular Biol. 15:
5983-5990.
[0282] The control sequence may also be a signal peptide coding
region that encodes a signal peptide linked to the N-terminus of a
polypeptide and directs the polypeptide into the cell's secretory
pathway. The 5'-end of the coding sequence of the polynucleotide
may inherently contain a signal peptide coding sequence naturally
linked in translation reading frame with the segment of the coding
sequence that encodes the polypeptide. Alternatively, the 5'-end of
the coding sequence may contain a signal peptide coding sequence
that is foreign to the coding sequence. A foreign signal peptide
coding sequence may be required where the coding sequence does not
naturally contain a signal peptide coding sequence. Alternatively,
a foreign signal peptide coding sequence may simply replace the
natural signal peptide coding sequence in order to enhance
secretion of the polypeptide. However, any signal peptide coding
sequence that directs the expressed polypeptide into the secretory
pathway of a host cell may be used.
[0283] Effective signal peptide coding sequences for bacterial host
cells are the signal peptide coding sequences obtained from the
genes for Bacillus NCI B 11837 maltogenic amylase, Bacillus
licheniformis subtilisin, Bacillus licheniformis beta-lactamase,
Bacillus stearothermophilus alpha-amylase, Bacillus
stearothermophilus neutral proteases (nprT, nprS, nprM), and
Bacillus subtilis prsA. Further signal peptides are described by
Simonen and Palva, 1993, Microbiological Reviews 57: 109-137.
[0284] Effective signal peptide coding sequences for filamentous
fungal host cells are the signal peptide coding sequences obtained
from the genes for Aspergillus niger neutral amylase, Aspergillus
niger glucoamylase, Aspergillus oryzae TAKA amylase, Humicola
insolens cellulase, Humicola insolens endoglucanase V, Humicola
lanuginosa lipase, and Rhizomucor miehei aspartic proteinase.
[0285] Useful signal peptides for yeast host cells are obtained
from the genes for Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-factor and
Saccharomyces cerevisiae invertase. Other useful signal peptide
coding sequences are described by Romanos et al., 1992, supra.
[0286] The control sequence may also be a propeptide coding
sequence that encodes a propeptide positioned at the N-terminus of
a polypeptide. The resultant polypeptide is known as a proenzyme or
propolypeptide (or a zymogen in some cases). A propolypeptide is
generally inactive and can be converted to an active polypeptide by
catalytic or autocatalytic cleavage of the propeptide from the
propolypeptide. The propeptide coding sequence may be obtained from
the genes for Bacillus subtilis alkaline protease (aprE), Bacillus
subtilis neutral protease (nprT), Myceliophthora thermophila
laccase (WO 95/33836), Rhizomucor miehei aspartic proteinase, and
Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-factor.
[0287] Where both signal peptide and propeptide sequences are
present, the propeptide sequence is positioned next to the
N-terminus of a polypeptide and the signal peptide sequence is
positioned next to the N-terminus of the propeptide sequence.
[0288] It may also be desirable to add regulatory sequences that
regulate expression of the polypeptide relative to the growth of
the host cell. Examples of regulatory sequences are those that
cause expression of the gene to be turned on or off in response to
a chemical or physical stimulus, including the presence of a
regulatory compound. Regulatory sequences in prokaryotic systems
include the lac, tac, and trp operator systems. In yeast, the ADH2
system or GAL1 system may be used. In filamentous fungi, the
Aspergillus niger glucoamylase promoter, Aspergillus oryzae TAKA
alpha-amylase promoter, and Aspergillus oryzae glucoamylase
promoter, Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase I promoter, and
Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase II promoter may be used. Other
examples of regulatory sequences are those that allow for gene
amplification. In eukaryotic systems, these regulatory sequences
include the dihydrofolate reductase gene that is amplified in the
presence of methotrexate, and the metallothionein genes that are
amplified with heavy metals. In these cases, the polynucleotide
encoding the polypeptide would be operably linked to the regulatory
sequence.
Expression Vectors
[0289] The present invention also relates to recombinant expression
vectors comprising a polynucleotide of the present invention, a
promoter, and transcriptional and translational stop signals. The
various nucleotide and control sequences may be joined together to
produce a recombinant expression vector that may include one or
more convenient restriction sites to allow for insertion or
substitution of the polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide at such
sites. Alternatively, the polynucleotide may be expressed by
inserting the polynucleotide or a nucleic acid construct comprising
the polynucleotide into an appropriate vector for expression. In
creating the expression vector, the coding sequence is located in
the vector so that the coding sequence is operably linked with the
appropriate control sequences for expression.
[0290] The recombinant expression vector may be any vector (e.g., a
plasmid or virus) that can be conveniently subjected to recombinant
DNA procedures and can bring about expression of the
polynucleotide. The choice of the vector will typically depend on
the compatibility of the vector with the host cell into which the
vector is to be introduced. The vector may be a linear or closed
circular plasmid.
[0291] The vector may be an autonomously replicating vector, i.e.,
a vector that exists as an extrachromosomal entity, the replication
of which is independent of chromosomal replication, e.g., a
plasmid, an extrachromosomal element, a minichromosome, or an
artificial chromosome. The vector may contain any means for
assuring self-replication. Alternatively, the vector may be one
that, when introduced into the host cell, is integrated into the
genome and replicated together with the chromosome(s) into which it
has been integrated. Furthermore, a single vector or plasmid or two
or more vectors or plasmids that together contain the total DNA to
be introduced into the genome of the host cell, or a transposon,
may be used.
[0292] The vector preferably contains one or more selectable
markers that permit easy selection of transformed, transfected,
transduced, or the like cells. A selectable marker is a gene the
product of which provides for biocide or viral resistance,
resistance to heavy metals, prototrophy to auxotrophs, and the
like.
[0293] Examples of bacterial selectable markers are Bacillus
licheniformis or Bacillus subtilis dal genes, or markers that
confer antibiotic resistance such as ampicillin, chloramphenicol,
kanamycin, neomycin, spectinomycin, or tetracycline resistance.
Suitable markers for yeast host cells include, but are not limited
to, ADE2, HIS3, LEU2, LYS2, MET3, TRP1, and URA3. Selectable
markers for use in a filamentous fungal host cell include, but are
not limited to, adeA
(phosphoribosylaminoimidazole-succinocarboxamide synthase), adeB
(phosphoribosylaminoimidazole synthase), amdS (acetamidase), argB
(ornithine carbamoyltransferase), bar (phosphinothricin
acetyltransferase), hph (hygromycin phosphotransferase), niaD
(nitrate reductase), pyrG (orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase),
sC (sulfate adenyltransferase), and trpC (anthranilate synthase),
as well as equivalents thereof. Preferred for use in an Aspergillus
cell are Aspergillus nidulans or Aspergillus oryzae amdS and pyrG
genes and a Streptomyces hygroscopicus bar gene. Preferred for use
in a Trichoderma cell are adeA, adeB, amdS, hph, and pyrG
genes.
[0294] The selectable marker may be a dual selectable marker system
as described in WO 2010/039889. In one aspect, the dual selectable
marker is an hph-tk dual selectable marker system.
[0295] The vector preferably contains one or more elements that
permit integration of the vector into the host cell's genome or
autonomous replication of the vector in the cell independent of the
genome.
[0296] For integration into the host cell genome, the vector may
rely on the polynucleotide's sequence encoding the polypeptide or
any other element of the vector for integration into the genome by
homologous or non-homologous recombination. Alternatively, the
vector may contain additional polynucleotides for directing
integration by homologous recombination into the genome of the host
cell at a precise location(s) in the chromosome(s). To increase the
likelihood of integration at a precise location, the integrational
elements should contain a sufficient number of nucleic acids, such
as 100 to 10,000 base pairs, 400 to 10,000 base pairs, and 800 to
10,000 base pairs, which have a high degree of sequence identity to
the corresponding target sequence to enhance the probability of
homologous recombination. The integrational elements may be any
sequence that is homologous with the target sequence in the genome
of the host cell. Furthermore, the integrational elements may be
non-encoding or encoding polynucleotides. On the other hand, the
vector may be integrated into the genome of the host cell by
non-homologous recombination.
[0297] For autonomous replication, the vector may further comprise
an origin of replication enabling the vector to replicate
autonomously in the host cell in question. The origin of
replication may be any plasmid replicator mediating autonomous
replication that functions in a cell. The term "origin of
replication" or "plasmid replicator" means a polynucleotide that
enables a plasmid or vector to replicate in vivo.
[0298] Examples of bacterial origins of replication are the origins
of replication of plasmids pBR322, pUC19, pACYC177, and pACYC184
permitting replication in E. coli, and pUB110, pE194, pTA1060, and
pAM111 permitting replication in Bacillus.
[0299] Examples of origins of replication for use in a yeast host
cell are the 2 micron origin of replication, ARS1, ARS4, the
combination of ARS1 and CEN3, and the combination of ARS4 and
CEN6.
[0300] Examples of origins of replication useful in a filamentous
fungal cell are AMA1 and ANS1 (Gems et al., 1991, Gene 98: 61-67;
Cullen et al., 1987, Nucleic Acids Res. 15: 9163-9175; WO
00/24883). Isolation of the AMA1 gene and construction of plasmids
or vectors comprising the gene can be accomplished according to the
methods disclosed in WO 00/24883.
[0301] More than one copy of a polynucleotide of the present
invention may be inserted into a host cell to increase production
of a polypeptide. An increase in the copy number of the
polynucleotide can be obtained by integrating at least one
additional copy of the sequence into the host cell genome or by
including an amplifiable selectable marker gene with the
polynucleotide where cells containing amplified copies of the
selectable marker gene, and thereby additional copies of the
polynucleotide, can be selected for by cultivating the cells in the
presence of the appropriate selectable agent.
[0302] The procedures used to ligate the elements described above
to construct the recombinant expression vectors of the present
invention are well known to one skilled in the art (see, e.g.,
Sambrook et al., 1989, supra).
Host Cells
[0303] The present invention also relates to recombinant host
cells, comprising a polynucleotide of the present invention
operably linked to one or more control sequences that direct the
production of a polypeptide of the present invention. A construct
or vector comprising a polynucleotide is introduced into a host
cell so that the construct or vector is maintained as a chromosomal
integrant or as a self-replicating extra-chromosomal vector as
described earlier. The term "host cell" encompasses any progeny of
a parent cell that is not identical to the parent cell due to
mutations that occur during replication. The choice of a host cell
will to a large extent depend upon the gene encoding the
polypeptide and its source.
[0304] The host cell may be any cell useful in the recombinant
production of a polypeptide of the present invention, e.g., a
prokaryote or a eukaryote.
[0305] The prokaryotic host cell may be any Gram-positive or
Gram-negative bacterium. Gram-positive bacteria include, but are
not limited to, Bacillus, Clostridium, Enterococcus, Geobacillus,
Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Oceanobacillus, Staphylococcus,
Streptococcus, and Streptomyces. Gram-negative bacteria include,
but are not limited to, Campylobacter, E. coli, Flavobacterium,
Fusobacterium, Helicobacter, Ilyobacter, Neisseria, Pseudomonas,
Salmonella, and Ureaplasma.

including, but not limited to, Streptomyces achromogenes,
Streptomyces avermitilis, Streptomyces coelicolor, Streptomyces
griseus, and Streptomyces lividans cells.
[0309] The introduction of DNA into a Bacillus cell may be effected
by protoplast transformation (see, e.g., Chang and Cohen, 1979,
Mol. Gen. Genet. 168: 111-115), competent cell transformation (see,
e.g., Young and Spizizen, 1961, J. Bacteriol. 81: 823-829, or
Dubnau and Davidoff-Abelson, 1971, J. Mol. Biol. 56: 209-221),
electroporation (see, e.g., Shigekawa and Dower, 1988,
Biotechniques 6: 742-751), or conjugation (see, e.g., Koehler and
Thorne, 1987, J. Bacteriol. 169: 5271-5278). The introduction of
DNA into an E. coli cell may be effected by protoplast
transformation (see, e.g., Hanahan, 1983, J. Mol. Biol. 166:
557-580) or electroporation (see, e.g., Dower et al., 1988, Nucleic
Acids Res. 16: 6127-6145). The introduction of DNA into a
Streptomyces cell may be effected by protoplast transformation,
electroporation (see, e.g., Gong et al., 2004, Folia Microbiol.
(Praha) 49: 399-405), conjugation (see, e.g., Mazodier et al.,
1989, J. Bacteriol. 171: 3583-3585), or transduction (see, e.g.,
Burke et al., 2001, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 98: 6289-6294). The
introduction of DNA into a Pseudomonas cell may be effected by
electroporation (see, e.g., Choi et al., 2006, J. Microbiol.
Methods 64: 391-397) or conjugation (see, e.g., Pinedo and Smets,
2005, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 71: 51-57). The introduction of DNA
into a Streptococcus cell may be effected by natural competence
(see, e.g., Perry and Kuramitsu, 1981, Infect. Immun. 32:
1295-1297), protoplast transformation (see, e.g., Catt and Jollick,
1991, Microbios 68: 189-207), electroporation (see, e.g., Buckley
et al., 1999, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 65: 3800-3804), or
conjugation (see, e.g., Clewell, 1981, Microbiol. Rev. 45:
409-436). However, any method known in the art for introducing DNA
into a host cell can be used.
[0310] The host cell may also be a eukaryote, such as a mammalian,
insect, plant, or fungal cell.
[0311] The host cell may be a fungal cell. "Fungi" as used herein
includes the phyla Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota, and
Zygomycota as well as the Oomycota and all mitosporic fungi (as
defined by Hawksworth et al., In, Ainsworth and Bisby's Dictionary
of The Fungi, 8th edition, 1995, CAB International, University
Press, Cambridge, UK).
[0312] The fungal host cell may be a yeast cell. "Yeast" as used
herein includes ascosporogenous yeast (Endomycetales),
basidiosporogenous yeast, and yeast belonging to the Fungi
Imperfecti (Blastomycetes). Since the classification of yeast may
change in the future, for the purposes of this invention, yeast
shall be defined as described in Biology and Activities of Yeast
(Skinner, Passmore, and Davenport, editors, Soc. App. Bacteriol.
Symposium Series No. 9, 1980).
[0313] The yeast host cell may be a Candida, Hansenula,
Kluyveromyces, Pichia, Saccharomyces, Schizosaccharomyces, or
Yarrowia cell, such as a Kluyveromyces lactis, Saccharomyces
carlsbergensis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces
diastaticus, Saccharomyces douglasii, Saccharomyces kluyveri,
Saccharomyces norbensis, Saccharomyces oviformis, or Yarrowia
lipolytica cell.
[0314] The fungal host cell may be a filamentous fungal cell.
"Filamentous fungi" include all filamentous forms of the
subdivision Eumycota and Oomycota (as defined by Hawksworth et al.,
1995, supra). The filamentous fungi are generally characterized by
a mycelial wall composed of chitin, cellulose, glucan, chitosan,
mannan, and other complex polysaccharides. Vegetative growth is by
hyphal elongation and carbon catabolism is obligately aerobic. In
contrast, vegetative growth by yeasts such as Saccharomyces
cerevisiae is by budding of a unicellular thallus and carbon
catabolism may be fermentative.
[0315] The filamentous fungal host cell may be an Acremonium,
Aspergillus, Aureobasidium, Bjerkandera, Ceriporiopsis,
Chrysosporium, Coprinus, Coriolus, Cryptococcus, Filibasidium,

[0317] Fungal cells may be transformed by a process involving
protoplast formation, transformation of the protoplasts, and
regeneration of the cell wall in a manner known per se. Suitable
procedures for transformation of Aspergillus and Trichoderma host
cells are described in EP 238023, Yelton et al., 1984, Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA 81: 1470-1474, and Christensen et al., 1988,
Bio/Technology 6: 1419-1422. Suitable methods for transforming
Fusarium species are described by Malardier et al., 1989, Gene 78:
147-156, and WO 96/00787. Yeast may be transformed using the
procedures described by Becker and Guarente, In Abelson, J. N. and
Simon, M. I., editors, Guide to Yeast Genetics and Molecular
Biology, Methods in Enzymology, Volume 194, pp 182-187, Academic
Press, Inc., New York; Ito et al., 1983, J. Bacteriol. 153: 163;
and Hinnen et al., 1978, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 75: 1920.
Methods of Production
[0318] The present invention also relates to methods of producing a
polypeptide of the present invention, comprising (a) cultivating a
cell, which in its wild-type form produces the polypeptide, under
conditions conducive for production of the polypeptide; and
optionally, (b) recovering the polypeptide. In one aspect, the cell
is a Paenibacillus cell. In one embodiment, the Paenibacillus cell
is a Paenibacillus sp-18057 cell, a Paenibacillus sp-62770 cell, a
Paenibacillus sp-62724 cell or a Paenibacillus tundrae cell. In one
aspect, the cell is an Amycolatopsis cell, for example a
Amycolatopsis azurea cell. In one aspect, the cell is a
Stenotrophomonas cell, for example a Stenotrophomonas rhizophila
cell. In one aspect, the cell is an Erwinia cell, for example an
Erwinia persicina cell. In one aspect, the cell is a Saccharothrix
cell, for example a Saccharothrix sp-62935 cell. In one aspect, the
cell is a Saccharopolyspora cell, for example a Saccharopolyspora
endophytica cell. In one aspect, the cell is an Alkalimonas cell,
for example an Alkalimonas sp-62516 cell. In one aspect, the cell
is a Nonomuraea cell, for example a Nonomuraea dietziae cell.
[0319] The host cell may also, e.g., be an Acremonium cell, for
example an Acremonium alcalophilum cell, a Trichoderma cell, for
example a Trichoderma harzianum cell, or a Fusarium cell, for
example a Fusarium solani cell.
[0320] The present invention also relates to methods of producing a
polypeptide of the present invention, comprising (a) cultivating a
recombinant host cell of the present invention under conditions
conducive for production of the polypeptide; and optionally, (b)
recovering the polypeptide.
[0321] The host cells are cultivated in a nutrient medium suitable
for production of the polypeptide using methods known in the art.
For example, the cells may be cultivated by shake flask
cultivation, or small-scale or large-scale fermentation (including
continuous, batch, fed-batch, or solid state fermentations) in
laboratory or industrial fermentors in a suitable medium and under
conditions allowing the polypeptide to be expressed and/or
isolated. The cultivation takes place in a suitable nutrient medium
comprising carbon and nitrogen sources and inorganic salts, using
procedures known in the art. Suitable media are available from
commercial suppliers or may be prepared according to published
compositions (e.g., in catalogues of the American Type Culture
Collection). If the polypeptide is secreted into the nutrient
medium, the polypeptide can be recovered directly from the medium.
If the polypeptide is not secreted, it can be recovered from cell
lysates.
[0322] The polypeptide may be detected using methods known in the
art that are specific for the polypeptides having RNase activity.
These detection methods include, but are not limited to, use of
specific antibodies, formation of an enzyme product, or
disappearance of an enzyme substrate. For example, an enzyme assay
may be used to determine the activity of the polypeptide.
[0323] The polypeptide may be recovered using methods known in the
art. For example, the polypeptide may be recovered from the
nutrient medium by conventional procedures including, but not
limited to, collection, centrifugation, filtration, extraction,
spray-drying, evaporation, or precipitation. In one aspect, a
fermentation broth comprising the polypeptide is recovered.
[0324] The polypeptide may be purified by a variety of procedures
known in the art including, but not limited to, chromatography
(e.g., ion exchange, affinity, hydrophobic, chromatofocusing, and
size exclusion), electrophoretic procedures (e.g., preparative
isoelectric focusing), differential solubility (e.g., ammonium
sulfate precipitation), SDS-PAGE, or extraction (see, e.g., Protein
Purification, Janson and Ryden, editors, VCH Publishers, New York,
1989) to obtain substantially pure polypeptides.
[0325] In an alternative aspect, the polypeptide is not recovered,
but rather a host cell of the present invention expressing the
polypeptide is used as a source of the polypeptide.
Fermentation Broth Formulations or Cell Compositions
[0326] The present invention also relates to a fermentation broth
formulation or a cell composition comprising a polypeptide of the
present invention. The fermentation broth product further comprises
additional ingredients used in the fermentation process, such as,
for example, cells (including, the host cells containing the gene
encoding the polypeptide of the present invention which are used to
produce the polypeptide of interest), cell debris, biomass,
fermentation media and/or fermentation products. In some
embodiments, the composition is a cell-killed whole broth
containing organic acid(s), killed cells and/or cell debris, and
culture medium.
[0327] The term "fermentation broth" as used herein refers to a
preparation produced by cellular fermentation that undergoes no or
minimal recovery and/or purification. For example, fermentation
broths are produced when microbial cultures are grown to
saturation, incubated under carbon-limiting conditions to allow
protein synthesis (e.g., expression of enzymes by host cells) and
secretion into cell culture medium. The fermentation broth can
contain unfractionated or fractionated contents of the fermentation
materials derived at the end of the fermentation. Typically, the
fermentation broth is unfractionated and comprises the spent
culture medium and cell debris present after the microbial cells
(e.g., filamentous fungal cells) are removed, e.g., by
centrifugation. In some embodiments, the fermentation broth
contains spent cell culture medium, extracellular enzymes, and
viable and/or nonviable microbial cells.
[0328] In one embodiment, the fermentation broth formulation and
cell compositions comprise a first organic acid component
comprising at least one 1-5 carbon organic acid and/or a salt
thereof and a second organic acid component comprising at least one
6 or more carbon organic acid and/or a salt thereof. In a specific
embodiment, the first organic acid component is acetic acid, formic
acid, propionic acid, a salt thereof, or a mixture of two or more
of the foregoing and the second organic acid component is benzoic
acid, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, 4-methylvaleric acid,
phenylacetic acid, a salt thereof, or a mixture of two or more of
the foregoing.
[0329] In one aspect, the composition contains an organic acid(s),
and optionally further contains killed cells and/or cell debris. In
one embodiment, the killed cells and/or cell debris are removed
from a cell-killed whole broth to provide a composition that is
free of these components.
[0330] The fermentation broth formulations or cell compositions may
further comprise a preservative and/or anti-microbial (e.g.,
bacteriostatic) agent, including, but not limited to, sorbitol,
sodium chloride, potassium sorbate, and others known in the
art.
[0331] The cell-killed whole broth or composition may contain the
unfractionated contents of the fermentation materials derived at
the end of the fermentation. Typically, the cell-killed whole broth
or composition contains the spent culture medium and cell debris
present after the microbial cells (e.g., filamentous fungal cells)
are grown to saturation, incubated under carbon-limiting conditions
to allow protein synthesis. In some embodiments, the cell-killed
whole broth or composition contains the spent cell culture medium,
extracellular enzymes, and killed filamentous fungal cells. In some
embodiments, the microbial cells present in the cell-killed whole
broth or composition can be permeabilized and/or lysed using
methods known in the art.
[0332] A whole broth or cell composition as described herein is
typically a liquid, but may contain insoluble components, such as
killed cells, cell debris, culture media components, and/or
insoluble enzyme(s). In some embodiments, insoluble components may
be removed to provide a clarified liquid composition.
[0333] The whole broth formulations and cell compositions of the
present invention may be produced by a method described in WO
90/15861 or WO 2010/096673.

[0334] The invention relates to compositions comprising an RNase of
the present invention in combination with one or more additional
components. The choice of additional components is within the skill
of the artisan and includes conventional ingredients, including the
exemplary non-limiting components set forth below.

polypeptides having at least 80% sequence identity hereto;
[0337] b) at least one adjunct ingredient.
[0338] One embodiment of the invention relates to a cleaning
composition comprising:

SEQ ID NO: 62, SEQ ID NO: 63, SEQ ID NO: 64, SEQ ID NO: 65, SEQ ID
NO: 66, SEQ ID NO: 67, SEQ ID NO: 72 and SEQ ID NO: 73, and
polypeptides having at least 80% sequence identity hereto;
[0340] b) at least one cleaning composition component, preferably
selected from surfactants, builders, bleach components, polymers,
dispersing agents and additional enzymes.
[0341] The choice of cleaning components may include, for textile
care, the consideration of the type of textile to be cleaned, the
type and/or degree of soiling, the temperature at which cleaning is
to take place, and the formulation of the detergent product.
Although components mentioned below are categorized by general
header according to a particular functionality, this is not to be
construed as a limitation, as a component may comprise additional
functionalities as will be appreciated by the skilled artisan.

(e.g., Oxone.RTM.) or alkaline earth-metal salts.
[0354] b) Suitable bleach activators include those belonging to the
class of esters, amides, imides, nitriles or anhydrides and, where
applicable, salts thereof. Suitable examples are
tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), sodium

activators of interest was disclosed in EP 624154 and particularly
preferred in that family is acetyl triethyl citrate (ATC). ATC or a
short chain triglyceride like triacetin has the advantage that they
are environmentally friendly. Furthermore, acetyl triethyl citrate
and triacetin have good hydrolytical stability in the product upon
storage and are efficient bleach activators. Finally, ATC is
multifunctional, as the citrate released in the perhydrolysis
reaction may function as a builder.

two or more layers, a pouch having one or more compartments, a
regular or compact powder, a granule, a paste, a gel, or a regular,
compact or concentrated liquid.
[0425] Pouches can be configured as single or multicompartments. It
can be of any form, shape and material which is suitable for hold
the composition, e.g., without allowing the release of the
composition to release of the composition from the pouch prior to
water contact. The pouch is made from water soluble film which
encloses an inner volume. Said inner volume can be divided into
compartments of the pouch. Preferred films are polymeric materials
preferably polymers which are formed into a film or sheet.
Preferred polymers, copolymers or derivates thereof are selected

cellulose, carboxy methyl cellulose, sodium dextrin, ethyl
cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose,
malto dextrin, poly methacrylates, most preferably polyvinyl
alcohol copolymers and, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC).
Preferably the level of polymer in the film for example PVA is at
least about 60%. Preferred average molecular weight will typically
be about 20,000 to about 150,000. Films can also be of blended
compositions comprising hydrolytically degradable and water soluble
polymer blends such as polylactide and polyvinyl alcohol (known
under the Trade reference M8630 as sold by MonoSol LLC, Indiana,
USA) plus plasticisers like glycerol, ethylene glycerol, propylene
glycol, sorbitol and mixtures thereof. The pouches can comprise a
solid laundry cleaning composition or part components and/or a
liquid cleaning composition or part components separated by the
water soluble film. The compartment for liquid components can be
different in composition than compartments containing solids: US
2009/0011970.
[0426] Detergent ingredients can be separated physically from each
other by compartments in water dissolvable pouches or in different
layers of tablets. Thereby negative storage interaction between
components can be avoided. Different dissolution profiles of each
of the compartments can also give rise to delayed dissolution of
selected components in the wash solution.
[0427] A liquid or gel detergent, which is not unit dosed, may be
aqueous, typically containing at least 20% by weight and up to 95%
water, such as up to about 70% water, up to about 65% water, up to
about 55% water, up to about 45% water, up to about 35% water.
Other types of liquids, including without limitation, alkanols,
amines, diols, ethers and polyols may be included in an aqueous
liquid or gel. An aqueous liquid or gel detergent may contain from
0-30% organic solvent. A liquid or gel detergent may be
non-aqueous.
Granular Detergent Formulations
[0428] The composition(s) of the invention may be formulated as a
granule for example as a co-granule that combines one or more
enzymes. Each enzyme will then be present in more granules securing
a more uniform distribution of enzymes in the detergent. This also
reduces the physical segregation of different enzymes due to
different particle sizes. Methods for producing multi-enzyme
co-granulates for the detergent industry are disclosed in the
IP.com disclosure IPCOM000200739D.
[0429] Another example of formulation of enzymes by the use of
co-granulates are disclosed in WO 2013/188331, which relates to a
detergent composition comprising (a) a multi-enzyme co-granule; (b)
less than 10 wt % zeolite (anhydrous basis); and (c) less than 10
wt % phosphate salt (anhydrous basis), wherein said enzyme
co-granule comprises from 10 to 98 wt % moisture sink component and
the composition additionally comprises from 20 to 80 wt % detergent
moisture sink component.
[0430] The multi-enzyme co-granule may comprise an RNase of the
invention and (a) one or more enzymes selected from lipases,
hemicellulases, proteases, amylases, cellulases, cellobiose
dehydrogenases, xylanases, phospho lipases, esterases, cutinases,
pectinases, mannanases, pectate lyases, keratinases, reductases,
oxidases, phenoloxidases, ligninases, pullulanases, tannases,
pentosanases, lichenases glucanases, arabinosidases, hyaluronidase,
chondroitinase, amylases, and mixtures thereof.
Uses
[0431] The polypeptides of the invention having RNase activity may
be used for deep cleaning of an item, such as a textile. In one
embodiment of the invention relates to the use of an RNase
according to the invention for prevention, reduction or removal of
malodor. One embodiment of the invention relates to the use of an
RNase of the invention for prevention or reduction of
anti-redeposition and/or for improvement of whiteness of a textile
subjected to multiple washes. When the biofilm components, e.g.,
RNA, of the extracellular biofilm matrix are removed or reduced the
stickiness caused by biofilm is also reduced. The RNases of the
invention therefore reduce the greyness of textiles when applied in
the compositions of the invention to a cleaning process such as
laundry.
[0432] One aspect of the invention relates to the use of a
polypeptide having RNase activity, selected from the group
consisting of SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO:

EXAMPLES
Assay
Mini Launder-O-Meter (MiniLOM) Model Wash System
[0439] MiniLOM is a modified mini wash system of the
Launder-O-Meter (LOM), which is a medium scale model wash system
that can be applied to test up to 20 different wash conditions
simultaneously. A LOM is basically a large temperature controlled
water bath with 20 closed metal beakers rotating inside it. Each
beaker constitutes one small washing machine and during an
experiment, each will contain a solution of a specific
detergent/enzyme system to be tested along with the soiled and
unsoiled fabrics it is tested on. Mechanical stress is achieved by
the beakers being rotated in the water bath and by including metal
balls in the beaker. Wash performance is assessed in laundry wash
experiment using a Mini wash assay, which is a test method where
soiled textile is continuously is lifted up and down into the test
solution and subsequently rinsed.

Assay I: Testing of RNase Activity
[0442] RNase activity was determined by fluorescence using a
fluorescence-quenched oligonucleotide probe. This probe emits a
signal after nuclease degradation according to the manual from the
supplier (RNase alert kit, Integrated DNA Technology, Coralville,
Iowa, USA). Briefly, RNase was diluted in water hardness 15.degree.
dH to obtain a concentration of 2 ppm, and 5 .mu.l of the substrate
was added to 95 .mu.l of the RNase sample. A kinetic curve was
measured for 10 min at 22.degree. C. using a Clariostar microplate
reader (excitation 490 nm, emission at 520 nm).

techniques or from mixed bacterial communities. Isolated pure
strains were identified and taxonomy was assigned based on DNA
sequencing of the 16S ribosomal genes (Table 2). The strain

[0444] Chromosomal DNA was isolated from either pure cultures of
the individual strains or from mixed cultured communities in the
case of Environmental sample community E with the DNeasy Blood
& Tissue Kit from Qiagen (Hilden, Germany) and subjected to
full genome sequencing using Illumina technology. Genome
sequencing, the subsequent assembly of reads and the gene discovery
(i.e., annotation of gene functions) are known to persons skilled
in the art and such services can be purchased commercially.
[0445] The genome sequences were analyzed for putative RNases from
the PFAM database family PF00545 (Finn et al., 2014, Nucleic Acids
Research 42: D222-D230). This analysis identified fifteen genes
encoding putative RNases which were subsequently cloned and
recombinantly expressed in Bacillus subtilis.
[0446] Analysis of the genome region around the RNase gene in the
genomes of all strains except the Environmental sample community E
indicated that the RNase enzyme was naturally co-expressed with a
small protein inhibitor in an operon with a single promotor driving
expression of both genes, the inhibitor gene being downstream of
the RNase gene. It is known from literature that co-expression of
inhibitors can benefit the expression of potentially toxic enzymes
(Hartley, 1988, J Mol Biol. 202(4): 913-915), and hence the
inhibitor was included in the recombinant expression cassettes for
expression of these RNases that are naturally co-expressed together
with an inhibitor. The RNase from the Environmental sample
community E does not have a downstream inhibitor gene and is thus
expressed recombinantly without co-expression of an inhibitor.
[0447] The genes encoding the RNase and any downstream inhibitor
were amplified as a single amplicon by PCR and fused with
regulatory elements, affinity purification tag and homology regions
for recombination into the pel locus of the B. subtilis genome.
[0448] The linear integration construct was a SOE-PCR fusion
product (Horton et al., 1989, "Engineering hybrid genes without the
use of restriction enzymes, gene splicing by overlap extension",
Gene 77: 61-68) made by fusion of the gene between two Bacillus
subtilis chromosomal regions along with strong promoters and a
chloramphenicol resistance marker. The SOE PCR method is also
described in WO 03/095658.
[0449] The genes were expressed under the control of a triple
promoter system (as described in WO 99/43835), consisting of the
promoters from Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase gene (amyL),
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens alpha-amylase gene (amyQ), and the
Bacillus thuringiensis cryIIIA promoter including stabilizing
sequence.
[0450] The genes were fused with DNA encoding a Bacillus clausii
secretion signal (encoding the following amino acid sequence:
MKKPLGKIVASTALLISVAFSSSIASA (SEQ ID NO: 24) replacing the native
secretion signal. Furthermore, the expression construct resulted in
the addition of an amino-terminal poly histidine tail consisting of
the amino acid sequence HHHHHHPR (SEQ ID NO: 25) to the mature
RNases.
[0451] The SOE-PCR products were transformed into Bacillus subtilis
and integrated in the chromosome by homologous recombination into
the pectate lyase locus. Subsequently a recombinant Bacillus
subtilis clone containing the integrated expression construct was
grown in liquid culture. The culture broth was centrifuged
(20000.times.g, 20 min) and the supernatant was carefully decanted
from the precipitate and used for purification of the enzyme or
alternatively sterile filtered supernatant was used directly for
assays.
Example 2: Purification of Recombinant Enzymes by Nickel Affinity
Chromatography
[0452] The pH of the cleared supernatant was adjusted to pH 8,
filtrated through a 0.2 .mu.M filter, and the supernatant applied
to a 5 ml HisTrap.TM. excel column. Prior to loading, the column
had been equilibrated in 5 column volumes (CV) of 50 mM Tris/HCl pH
8. To remove unbound material, the column was washed with 8 CV of
50 mM Tris/HCl pH 8, and elution of the target was obtained with 50
mM HEPES pH 7+10 mM imidazole. The eluted protein was desalted on a
HiPrep.TM. 26/10 desalting column, equilibrated using 3 CV of 50 mM
HEPES pH 7+100 mM NaCl. This buffer was also used for elution of
the target, and the flow rate was 10 ml/min. Relevant fractions
were selected and pooled based on the chromatogram and SDS-PAGE
analysis.

alcalophilum and Trichoderma harzianum
Strains
[0453] Escherichia coli One Shot.RTM. TOP10 strain purchased from
Thermo Fisher Scientific (Life Technologies Europe BV, N.ae
butted.rum, Denmark) was used to propagate expression vector
encompassing ribonuclease coding sequences.
[0454] Aspergillus oryzae MT3568 strain was used for heterologous
expression of the ribonuclease polypeptides. The A. oryzae MT3568
strain is an amdS (acetamidase) disrupted gene derivative of A.
oryzae JaL355 strain (described in WO 02/40694) in which pyrG
auxotrophy was restored by disrupting the A. oryzae acetamidase
(amdS) gene with the pyrG gene.
[0455] Acremonium alcalophilum CBS114.92 was purchased from
CBS-KNAW (Fungal Biodiversity Centre, Utrecht, The Netherlands).
According to Central Bureau vor Schnimmelkulture, Acremonium
alcalohilum CBS114.92 was isolated by A. Yoneda in 1984 from the
sludge of pig feces compost near Tsukui Lake, Japan.
[0456] Trichoderma harzianum CBS223.93, originally named A00611,
was deposited at the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures,
Ultrecht, The Netherlands under the code: CBS223.93. The strain was
acquired from Swiss Ferment A/G in 1968.

Sequences Amplification and Cloning
[0467] RNase from Acremonium alcalophilum shown in SEQ ID NO: 14
(mature polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 15):
[0468] The Acremonium alcalophilum strain JCM 7366 (ATCC 90507) was
sequenced by JGI
(https://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Acral2/Acral2.home.html) and the genome
was assembled and annotated. 9521 gene models were identified in
this genome assembly. The ribonuclease encoding polypeptide with
SEQ ID NO: 14, comprising a predicted extracellular secretion
signal (1-17) and a predicted PFAM00545 domain (47-127) was
identified among those sequences. For the preparation of A.
alcalophilum genomic DNA the A. alcalophilum CBS114.92 strain was
propagated on Horikoshi agar, pH 9 for 7 days at 30.degree. C.
[0469] RNase from Trichoderma harzianum shown in SEQ ID NO: 69
(mature polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 72):
[0470] The Trichoderma harzianum strain A00611 was sequenced using
Illumina sequencing paired-ends technology, the genome de novo
assembly was produced using IDBA-UD v1.0.9 method (Peng et al.
(2012) Bioinformatics) and the genome annotation generated with
GeneMark v2.3c (Ter-Hovhannisyan et al. (2008) Genome Res.). The
ribonuclease encoding the polypeptide with SEQ ID NO: 69,
comprising a predicted extracellular secretion signal (1-15) and a
predicted PFAM00545 domain (45-127), was identified within this
assembly. For the preparation of T. harzianum genomic DNA the
strain A00611 was inoculated onto a PDA plate and incubated for 8
days at 26.degree. C. in the dark. Several mycelia-PDA plugs were
inoculated into 500 ml shake flasks containing 100 ml of YP 2%
glucose medium. The shake flasks were incubated for 5 days at
26.degree. C. with shaking at 100 rpm for production of
biomass.
[0471] Mycelia from Acremonium alcalophilum, harvested directly
from agar and mycelia from Trichoderma harzianum harvested from
shake flask were used for gDNA isolation according to the
FastDNA.RTM. SPIN kit for Soil protocol (www.mpbio.com). The
genomic DNA purified was eluted in 100 .mu.l 10 mM TRIS buffer, 0.1
mM EDTA, pH 7.5 and stored at 4.degree. C. until use. PCR
amplifications of DNA encoding the RNase polypeptides (SEQ ID NO:

observed. The remaining PCR reactions were purified using an
ILLUSTRA.TM. GFX.TM. PCR DNA and Gel Band Purification Kit
reference 28-9034 (GE Healthcare, UK) according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
[0473] Cloning of the DNA sequences encoding the ribonucleases SEQ

was made using InFusion HD Plus EcoDry Cloning system kit (Takara,
Kusatsu, Japan) in expression vector pDAu109 (WO 2005/042735)
previously digested with BamHI and HindIII restriction enzymes and
following the manufacturer's instructions. A 2.5 .mu.L volume of
the five-time diluted ligation mixtures was used to transform 25
.mu.L of E. coli TOP10 (see strain description above) chemically
competent cells (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, Calif., USA). Two
colonies were selected from LB agar plates containing 50 .mu.g of
ampicillin per mL and cultivated overnight in 3 mL of LB medium
supplemented with 100 .mu.g of ampicillin per mL. Plasmid DNA was
purified using a Qiagen Spin Miniprep kit (Cat. 27106) (QIAGEN
GmbH, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Ribonuclease sequences cloned by InFusion.RTM. were
scrutinized for errors by Sanger DNA sequencing.
[0474] Protoplasts of Aspergillus oryzae MT3568 strain were
prepared according to WO 95/002043. 100 .mu.L of A. oryzae
protoplasts were mixed with 1-3 .mu.g of plasmids encoding
ribonuclease polypeptide SEQ ID NO: 15 and SEQ ID NO: 72 and 270
.mu.L of 60% PEG 4000 (Applichem, Darmstadt, Germany) (polyethylene
glycol, molecular weight 4000), 10 mM CaCl.sub.2, and 10 mM
Tris-HCl pH 7.5 and gently mixed. The mixtures were incubated at
37.degree. C. for 30 minutes and the protoplasts were spread onto
COVE plates containing 10 mM acetamide. After incubation for 4-7
days at 37.degree. C., spores of four colonies were inoculated into
DAP4C-1 medium in 96-well X50 microtiter plate PS from Thermo
Fisher Scientific (Life Technologies Europe BV, N.ae butted.rum,
Denmark) and covered with semi-permeable tape. After 4 days of
static incubation at 30.degree. C., the culture broths were
analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis in order to identify colonies producing the highest
amount of ribonuclease polypeptides. Spores of the best
transformants were spread onto COVE plates containing 0.01%
TRITON.RTM. X-100 and 10 mM acetamide in order to isolate single
colonies. The spreading was repeated twice in total on COVE plates
containing 10 mM acetamide. The selected strains expressing the
Acremonium alcalophilum SEQ ID NO: 15 and the Trichoderma harzianum
SEQ ID NO: 72 were inoculated in 250 mL shake flasks with baffle
containing 150 mL of DAP4C-1 supplemented with lactic acid and
di-ammonium phosphate for 4 days at a temperature of 30.degree. C.
under 150 rpm agitation. Culture broths were harvested by
filtration using a 0.2 .mu.m filter device.
Example 4: Purification of the RNase from Acremonium
alcalophilum
[0475] The A. alcalophilum RNase was purified by ion exchange
chromatography by loading the filtered broth onto a Capto.TM. S
column (ref. 17-5441-03) (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, N.J., USA)
previously equilibrated in 50 mM acetate pH 4.5 buffer. The column
was washed with 3 CV 50 mM acetate pH 4.5 buffer. Elution of bound
proteins was carried out with a linear gradient 100% of 50 mM
acetate with 1 M NaCl pH 4.5 over 5CV. Fractions of 10 mL were
collected during the chromatography and an elution flow of 10
mL/min was observed during the chromatography. All fractions were
analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis and fractions containing the RNase were pooled.
Quantification of the RNase was made using the A280/E280 method
(Stoscheck, 1990, "Quantitation of Protein", Methods in Enzymology
182: 50-69).
Example 5: Cloning, Expression and Fermentation of an RNase from
Fusarium solani
[0476] An RNase encoding gene belonging to the PFAM protein family
PF00545 (Finn et al., 2016, Nucleic Acids Research D44: D279-D285)
was cloned from a strain of Fusarium solani that was isolated from
an environmental sample collected in Denmark.
[0477] Chromosomal DNA was isolated from a pure culture of the
Fusarium solani strain, and a sample of the DNA was sent to Exiqon
A/S, Vedbaek, Denmark, for whole genome sequencing. The genome
sequence was subsequently assembled with the SPAdes Genome
Assembler, v3.5.0, and annotated with the GeneMark v2.3c gene
prediction software.
[0478] The set of peptide sequences predicted from the annotated
genome were searched for similarity to the PF00545 domain, and the
peptide with SEQ ID NO: 73 was found. The corresponding DNA
sequence (SEQ ID NO: 70) was PCR amplified from genomic DNA
isolated from Fusarium solani with gene-specific primers that also
append a Kozak translation initiation sequence "TCACC" immediately
5' of the start codon, and cloned into the Aspergillus expression
vector pMStr57 (WO 2004/032648) that had been digested with BamHI
and XhoI.
[0479] The cloned RNase encoding gene was sequenced and confirmed
to be identical to the corresponding gene found in the genome
sequence, and transformed into the Aspergillus oryzae strain MT3568
(WO 2011/057140) by the methods described in Christensen et al.,
1988, Biotechnology 6, 1419-1422 and WO 2004/032648. Transformants
were selected during regeneration from protoplasts based on the
ability, conferred by a selectable marker in the expression vector,
to utilize acetamide as a nitrogen source, and were subsequently
re-isolated twice under selection.
[0480] Production of the recombinant RNase was evaluated by
culturing transformants in 96-well deep-well microtiter plates for
4 days at 30.degree. C. in 0.25 ml of YPG medium (WO 2005/066338)
and DAP-4C-1 medium (WO 2012/103350) and monitoring recombinant
expression by SDS-PAGE. For larger-scale production of the
recombinant RNase, a single Aspergillus transformant was selected
based on recombinant yield and was cultured in 500 ml baffled
flasks containing 150 ml of DAP-4C-1 medium. The cultures were
shaken on a rotary table at 150 RPM at a temperature of 30.degree.
C. for 4 days. The culture broth was subsequently separated from
cellular material by passage through a 0.22 um filtration unit.
Example 6: Chromatographic Purification of the Recombinant RNases
from Fusarium solani and Trichoderma harzianum
[0481] The pH of the filtered sample was adjusted to around pH 7.5
and 1.8M ammonium sulfate was added. The sample was applied to a 5
ml HiTrap.TM. Phenyl (HS) column on an Akta Explorer. Prior to
loading, the column had been equilibrated in 5 column volumes (CV)
of 50 mM HEPES+1.8 M AMS pH 7. In order to remove unbound material,
the column was washed with 5 CV of 50 mM HEPES+1.8 M AMS pH 7. The
target protein was eluted from the column into a 10 ml loop using
50 mM HEPES+20% isopropanol pH 7. From the loop, the sample was
loaded onto a desalting column (HiPrep.TM. 26/10 Desalting), which
had been equilibrated with 3CV of 50 mM HEPES+100 mM NaCl pH 7.0.
The target protein was eluted with 50 mM HEPES+100 mM NaCl pH 7.0
and relevant fractions were selected and pooled based on the
chromatogram. The flow rate was 5 ml/min.
[0482] Protein concentration in the final sample was estimated by
measuring absorption at 280 nm.
Example 7: Performance of RNases in Model Detergent
Washing Experiment A
[0483] Five rinsed swatches with Brevundimonas sp. were mixed with
five sterile Cotton WFK10A swatches in a 50 mL test tube and added
10 mL of detergent wash solution comprising the following detergent
composition in the mentioned concentrations: model detergent A (EU,
3.3 g/L), was added together with 0.7 g/L soil (Pigmentschmutz,
09V, wfk, Krefeld, Germany) and RNases shown in SEQ ID NO: 3, 6, 9,
12 and 15 (0.2 and 1 ppm) having activity in the synthetic
oligonucleotide substrate assay (Assay I). Test tubes were placed
in a Stuart rotator (Mini LOM) for 1 hour at 22.degree. C. Swatches
were rinsed twice with tap water and dried on filter paper over
night. As a control, washes with the mentioned detergent and
without addition of RNase was made in parallel. Remission (Rem)
values at 460 nm were measured using a Color Eye (Macbeth Color Eye
7000 reflectance spectrophotometer). The measurements were made
without UV in the incident light.
[0484] The so-called EU conditions referred to above, i.e., 3.3 g/L
detergent and water with a hardness of 15.degree. dH
(Ca:Mg:NaHCO.sub.34:1:1.5), were used. The delta Rem values are
shown in Table 3.

[0485] The present example shows the anti-greying effect of RNase
in cotton swatches pre-grown with bacteria (donors). The observed
effect is due to the deep cleaning effect of RNase, so that a
reduction of soil adhesion to bacterial extracellular polymeric
substances (EPS) is obtained. Importantly, the present example
shows that RNase prevents transfer of soil between different
textile items in a wash and thus allows dirty laundry to be washed
with less dirty laundry. This ensures that the whiteness of the
textiles is improved.
Washing Experiment B
[0486] Five rinsed swatches with Staphylococcus xylosus were added
to a 50 mL test tube and 10 mL of detergent wash solution
comprising the following detergent composition in the mentioned
concentration was added: model detergent A (EU, 3.3 g/L) was added
together with 0.7 g/L soil (Pigmentschmutz, 09V, wfk, Krefeld,
Germany) and RNases shown in SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 64 (5 ppm)
having activity in the synthetic oligonucleotide substrate assay
(Assay I). Test tubes were placed in a Stuart rotator (Mini LOM)
for 1 hour at 30.degree. C. Swatches were rinsed twice with tap
water and dried on filter paper over night. As control, washes with
the mentioned detergent and without addition of RNase were made in
parallel. Remission (Rem) values at 460 nm were measured using a
Color Eye (Macbeth Color Eye 7000 reflectance spectrophotometer).
The measurements were made without UV in the incident light.
[0487] EU conditions of 3.3 g/L detergent and water with a hardness
of 15.degree. dH (Ca:Mg:NaHCO.sub.3 4:1:1.5) were used. The delta
Rem values are shown in Table 4.

[0488] The results of wash experiment A and B shows the
anti-greying effect of RNase in cotton swatches pre-grown with
bacteria (donors). The observed effect is due to the deep cleaning
effect of RNase, a reduction of soil adhesion to bacterial
extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) is obtained. Importantly,
the present example shows that RNase will prevent transfer of soil
between different textile items in a wash and thus enable that
dirty laundry can be washed with less dirty laundry. This ensures
that the whiteness of the textile is improved.
Example 8: Reduction of Nucleic Acids from Real Items Extract by
RNases
[0489] In a real consumer laundry study twelve socks from twelve
different pairs (one sock per pair) were used (Warwick Equest). Six
groups of 2 socks from 2 different pairs were formed and tested for
RNase effect. From each sock a sampling of eight 2 cm diameter
swatches were randomly cut, four from the sole part and four from
the heel. For each part of the socks one swatch was added to a 50
ml test tube. For every group 4 test tubes with 4 swatches each
were obtained, in total 24 tubes and 96 swatches. To the test tubes
10 mL of detergent wash solution was added comprising the following
detergent composition: one tube with model detergent A (EU, 3.3
g/L) and no enzyme (control) and three tubes with model detergent A
(EU, 3.3 g/L) and RNases shown in SEQ ID NO: 64 or SEQ ID NO: 72 (1
ppm) having activity in the synthetic oligonucleotide substrate
assay (Assay I). EU conditions of 3.3 g/L detergent and water with
a hardness of 15.degree. dH (Ca:Mg:NaHCO.sub.3 4:1:1.5) were used.
Test tubes were placed in a Stuart rotator (Mini LOM) for 1 hour at
30.degree. C. Next, the swatches were rinsed in water hardness
15.degree. dH. To remove the water excess, the swatches were
transferred to a Sartorius Vivaspin.RTM. 20 and spun for 5 min at
4000 RCF.
[0490] For extraction, the centrifuged swatches were transferred to
a 50 mL DNAse-RNase free tubes (Sarstedt) and 4 ml RNase-free
buffer (0.1% v/v DEPC, 10 mM EDTA, 0.9% NaCl pH 4.5) was added. The
tubes were placed in a Stuart rotator (Mini LOM) for 1 hour at room
temperature. A sample of 100 .mu.l extract for each tube was added
to 100 .mu.l Quant-IT.TM. RiboGreen.RTM. (Thermofisher) reagent as
recommended by the supplier protocol. Endpoint fluorescence was
measured at 22.degree. C. in a Clariostar microplate reader
(excitation 500 nm, emission at 525 nm).
[0491] The results are presented below as a percentage fluorescence
signal reduction between the control and the RNase samples.

[0492] The results of this experiment show that RNases can reduce
the amount of nucleic acids present in real consumer laundry
items.
Example 9: RNase Activity
[0493] RNase was diluted in water hardness 15.degree. dH or model
detergent B (EU, 3.3 g/L) to obtain a concentration of 0.1 ppm and
1 ppm, respectively, and 5 .mu.l of the substrate was added to 95
.mu.l of the RNase sample. Model detergent B wash liquor (100%) was
prepared by dissolving 3.33 g/l of model detergent B containing
7.2% LAS, 6.6% AEO Biosoft N25-7 (NI), 4.2% AEOS (SLES), 6% MPG
(mono propylene glycol), 3% ethanol, 3% TEA (triethanolamine),
2.75% cocoa soap, 2.75% soya soap, 2% glycerol, 1.2% sodium
hydroxide, 2% sodium citrate, 1% sodium formiate, 0.2% DTMPA and
0.2% PCA (Propenoic acid). All percentages are w/w
(weight/weight).
[0494] A kinetic curve was measured for 10 min at 22.degree. C.
using a Spectramax microplate reader, Molecular Devices (excitation
490 nm, emission at 520 nm). Tables 6a and 6b below show RNase
activity measured in water or in model detergent B.

Example 10: Construction of Clades and Phylogenetic Trees
[0495] The ribonuclease domain includes the polypeptides of the
invention having RNase activity and comprises the Barnase domain as
well as the clusters such as the clades.
[0496] A phylogenetic tree was constructed with polypeptide
sequences containing a Barnase domain, as defined in PFAM
(PF000545, Pfam version 31.0 Finn, 2016, Nucleic Acids Research,
Database Issue 44: D279-D285). The phylogenetic tree was
constructed from a multiple alignment of mature polypeptide
sequences containing at least one Barnase domain. The sequences
were aligned using the MUSCLE algorithm version 3.8.31 (Edgar,
2004. Nucleic Acids Research 32(5): 1792-1797), and the trees were
constructed using FastTree version 2.1.8 (Price et al., 2010, PloS
one 5(3)) and visualized using iTOL (Letunic & Bork, 2007,
Bioinformatics 23(1): 127-128).
[0497] The polypeptides in Barnase can be separated into multiple
distinct sub-clusters, or clades, where we denoted the clades
listed below. Distinct motifs for each clade are described in
detail below.
Generation of EYTV Clade
[0498] The EYTV clade comprises Barnase polypeptides of bacterial
origin, having RNase activity and comprising the motif example EYTV
(SEQ ID NO: 28), corresponding to positions 93 to 96 of SEQ ID NO:
9 A. azurea, where E (corresponding to position 93 of SEQ ID NO: 9)
is fully conserved in the clade.
[0499] In one embodiment, a polypeptide of this clade may comprise
the extended motif YXEYTVXTPXXXXRGXRR (SEQ ID NO: 78), wherein each
X may independently be any naturally occurring amino acid.
[0500] The structure of the reference enzyme RNase Sa3 from
Streptomyces aureofaciens (SEQ ID: 76) consists of a hydrophobic
core including a central five-stranded twisted antiparallel
beta-sheet, and the motif EYTV corresponds to part of the second
N-terminal beta strand (residues 99-102 of SEQ ID:76) of the
central beta sheet. (J. Biol. Chem. 2002; 277: 47325-30). Amino
acid changes that destroy hydrogen bonding between the beta strands
in the beta-sheet decrease the overall enzyme stability. The Glu
(E) residue of the EYTV motif acts as the general base and is
believed to be essential for catalysis.
Generation of EAD Clade
[0501] The EAD clade comprises Barnase polypeptides of bacterial
origin, having RNase activity and comprising the motif example
[YRF]E[AYFWC]D (SEQ ID NO: 29), corresponding to positions 100 to
103 of SEQ ID NO: 3 Paenibacillus sp-18057 where E (corresponding
to position 101 of SEQ ID NO: 3) is fully conserved in the EAD
clade.
[0502] In one embodiment, a polypeptide of this clade may comprise
the extended motif [WY][YRF]E[AYFWC]D[IV] (SEQ ID NO: 79).
[0503] The polypeptides of this clade may also comprise the motif
IGGD (SEQ ID NO: 30), corresponding to positions 79 to 82 of SEQ ID
NO: 3.
[0504] In one embodiment, a polypeptide of this clade with the
motif IGGD may comprise the extended motif GXXIGGDXFXN (SEQ ID NO:
80), wherein each X may independently be any naturally occurring
amino acid.
[0505] The structure of the reference enzyme Barnase from B.
amyloliquifaciens (SEQ ID: 34) consists of a hydrophobic core
including a central five-stranded twisted antiparallel beta-sheet,
and the motif IGGD corresponds to part of the first N-terminal beta
strand (residues 98-101 of SEQ ID NO: 34) and the EAD motif to part
the second beta strand (residues 120-122 of SEQ ID:34) of the
central beta sheet. (Nature 1982 May 13; 297: 162-164). Amino acid
changes that destroy hydrogen bonding between the beta strands in
the beta-sheet decrease the overall enzyme stability. (J. Mol.
Biol. 1992 Jun. 5; 225(3): 585-9). The Glu (E) residue of the EAD
motif acts as the general base and is believed to be essential for
catalysis.
Generation of YPH Clade
[0506] The YPH clade comprises Barnase polypeptides of fungal
origin, having RNase activity and comprising the motif example YPH
(SEQ ID NO: 31), corresponding to positions 45 to 47 of SEQ ID NO:
15 Acromonium alcalophilum where all three amino acids are fully
conserved in the clade.
[0507] In one embodiment, a polypeptide of this clade with the
motif YPH may comprise the extended motif YPHX[YFA]X[ND]XE (SEQ ID
NO: 81), where each X may independently be any naturally occurring
amino acid.
[0508] The polypeptides of this clade may also comprise the motif
DRV (SEQ ID NO:33), corresponding to positions 82 to 84 of SEQ ID
NO: 15 where R (corresponding to position 83 of SEQ ID NO: 9) is
fully conserved in the clade.
[0509] In one embodiment, a polypeptide of this clade with the DRV
motif may comprise the extended motif PGXDRV (SEQ ID NO: 82), where
X may be any naturally occurring amino acid.
[0510] The polypeptides of this clade may also comprise the motif
HTGA (SEQ ID NO: 32), corresponding to positions 99 to 102 of SEQ
ID NO: 15.
[0511] In one embodiment, a polypeptide of this clade with the
motif HTGA may comprise the extended motif THTGA[SR]G (SEQ ID NO:
83).
[0512] An alignment of some of the polypeptides of the invention
(SEQ ID NO: 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15) is shown in FIG. 1.
[0513] The structure of the reference enzyme RNase F1 from
Gibberella fujikuroi (SEQ ID: 77) consists of a hydrophobic core
including a central five-stranded twisted antiparallel beta-sheet.
The motif YPH corresponds to part of the first N-terminal beta
strand (residues 63-65 of SEQ ID:77), and the DRV motif to part of
the third beta strand (residues 100-102 of SEQ ID:77) of the
central beta sheet (J. Mol. Biol. 1993; 230(3): 979-996). The HTGA
motif corresponds to a turn region in the RNase F1 structure
(residues 116-119 of SEQ ID:77) and the histidine residue of the
HTGA motif is believed to be essential for catalytic activity of
the enzyme. Amino acid changes that destroy hydrogen bonding
between the beta strands in the beta-sheet decrease the overall
enzyme stability. (J. Mol. Biol. 1992 Jun. 5; 225(3): 585-589).
