Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a polypeptide that combines an endo-amylase with a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) to create a baking enzym with improved baking performance compared to traditional endo-amylases. The CBM enhances the catalytic activity of the endo-amylase towards raw starch in the dough, while reducing its activity towards heated starch in the baking process. This allows for a more efficient baking process without overdosing the enzyme. The hybrid polypeptide can be used as a baking additive or in a dough- or bread-improving additive. The invention also provides a process for preparing the polypeptide and a composition containing it for baking.

Problems solved by technology

However, the endo-amylases are easy to overdose which may results in gumminess and an undesirable loss in elasticity in the baked product.

Construction of Hybrids Between an Endo-Amylase and the CBM from AMY1048

[0165] The amylase AMY1048 is a wild type Bacillus amylase made up of a catalytic fragment of 484 amino acid and in addition a CBM20 fragment of 101 aa. The DNA sequence coding the AMY1048 is included as SEQ ID NO:1 and the mature AMY1048 sequence is included as SEQ ID NO:2. In SEQ ID NO:1 the CBM is defined as amino acid residues 485 to 586 which correspond to nucleotides 1540-1845 in SEQ ID NO:2. The amylase including the CBM can be expressed from a construction similar to what have been described for other amylases i.e. e.g., inserted into a vector under the control of a constitutive active promoter and flanked by the signal sequence (SEQ ID NO: 15) and the terminator sequence of B. licheniformis endo-amylase.

[0166] Replacing the catalytic fragment of the AMY1048 endo-amylase with a catalytic domain of another endo-amylase, thus creating a hybrid of the CBM from AMY1048 and a new endo-amylase, is made by am...

Construction of a Hybrid Amylase with Carbohydrate Binding Domain

[0178] The catalytic fragment of the B. flavothermus endo-amylase, AMY1048 can further be divided into the central AB-domain harboring the catalytic center and a C domain c-terminal to the catalytic domain but prior to the CBM. In SEQ ID NO:2 the catalytic core domain consist of the first 397 amino acid residues, the C domain is defined as the amino acid residues from 398 to 484 and the CBM is defined as amino acid residues 485 to 586. In SEQ ID NO:1 the signal sequence is encoded by nucleotide 1 to 87, the catalytic core domain is encoded by nucleotide 88-1278, the C domain is encoded by the nucleotides 1279-1539, and the CBM is encoded by nucleotide 1540-1845.

[0179] The amylase including the CBM can be expressed from a vector construction similar to what have been described in WO0060060A2 in example 4—i.e. the amylase gene is inserted into a vector under the control of a amylase promoter and flanked by the signal s...

Determination of Exo-Endo Improvement Factor (EIF)

[0189] EIF is the measure of an increment of the exo / endo ratio relative to a parent enzyme i.e. EIF=(exo / endo of variant) / (exo / endo of parent enzyme). An enzyme has an increase in exo / endo ratio compared to its parent enzyme if EIF>1. EIF may be based on one of the following methods.

[0190] EIF1 Endo activity assay: The Phadebas Amylase Test (Pharmacia Diagnostics) is run according to the suppliers recommenda-tions and the endo units calculated from the supplied formula where the natural logarithm to the activ-ity equals N, where N=A+square root [B+C*ln(Abs)]. Abs is the absorbance at 620 nm, A=−13.3235, B=243.3293, and C=26.73797

[0191] Exo activity assay: 50 microL of 50 mM sodium citrate, 5 mM CaCl2, pH 6.5 is mixed with 25 microL of enzyme in the same buffer and 25 microL Betamyl substrate (Betamyl Method, Megazyme) dissolved according to suppliers recommendations. The assay mix is incubated for 30 min. at 40° C. and the reacti...
