  • Pectate lyases, nucleic acids encoding them and methods for making and using them
    Patent number: 8067222
    Abstract: The invention is directed to polypeptides having pectate lyase (pectinase) activity, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, and methods for making and using these polynucleotides and polypeptides. The polypeptides of the invention can be used as pectate lyases to catalyze the beta-elimination or hydrolysis of pectin and/or polygalacturonic acid, such as 1,4-linked alpha-D-galacturonic acid. The invention provides methods of treating fibers, fabrics or any pectate- or polygalacturonic acid-comprising material using one or more pectate lyases of the invention.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2009
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2011
    Assignee: Verenium Corporation
    Inventors: Janne Kerovuo, Arne Solbak, Kevin Gray, Ryan McCann, Shalaka Purohit, Joel Gerendash, Giselle Janssen, Samun Dahod
