The present invention relates to subtilase variants having a reduced
tendency towards inhibition by substances present in eggs, such as
trypsin inhibitor type IV-0. In particular, the variants comprise at
least one additional amino acid residue between positions 42 43, 51 56,
155 161, 187 190, 216 217, 217 218 or 218 219 (in BASBPN numbering).
These subtilase variants are useful exhibiting excellent or improved wash
performance on egg stains when used in e.g. cleaning or detergent
compositions, such as laundry detergent compositions and dishwash
composition, including automatic dishwash compositions. Also, isolated
DNA sequences encoding the variants, expression vectors, host cells, and
methods for producing and using the variants of the invention. Further,
cleaning and detergent compositions comprising the variants are
disclosed.
