Abstract

Methanoarchaeal lysine 2,3-aminomutase genes from marine Methanosarcina mazei N2M9705, halotolerant Methanocalculus chunghsingensis K1F9705b and halophilic Methanohalophilus portucalensis FDF1 are used in the synthesis of pharmacological active compounds. Due to the high salt, organic solvent and drought resistant nature for halotolerant and halophilic organisms, the lysine 2,3-aminomutase from halophilic methanogens are more stable than that of normal microorganism for use in &bgr; -lysine production. Furthermore, methods for inducing &bgr; -lysine production in methanoarchaea in a condition of an elevated salt concentration are provided. Therefore, cost and time of production of &bgr; -lysine for synthesis of &bgr; -lysine associated drugs is reduced.

Description

甲烷古菌賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶基因於藥物合成上之應用Application of methane archaea lysine 2,3-aminotransposase gene in drug synthesis

本發明係有關於一種氨基轉位酶基因(aminomutase)於藥物合成上的應用,尤指一種源自甲烷古菌之賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶(lysine 2,3-aminomutase)基因於藥物合成上的應用。The present invention relates to the use of an aminomutase gene for drug synthesis, in particular to a lysine 2,3-aminomutase gene derived from an ancient methane archaea. For the application of drug synthesis.

現有技術於利用化學合成方法以製備具有藥理活性的化合物(pharmacologically active compounds)時,常需純化β-胺基酸(β-amino acid)與β-胺基-α-羥酸(β-amino-α-hydroxy acids)。以β-胺基酸以及β-胺基-α-羥酸為重要組成的藥劑包括:(1)細菌型的β-內醯胺型(β-lactams)抗生素,如青黴素類(penicillins)、頭孢菌素類(cephalosporins)、碳青黴烯類(carbapenems)、單內醯環類(monobactams)等抗生素;(2)抗癌藥物,如紫杉醇(taxol)等;(3)抗菌藥劑,如雙去氧卡那黴素(dideoxykanamicin)等;(4)免疫增強劑,例如包括kynostatins等的强效抗HIV蛋白酶活性化合物;(5)蛋白抑制劑,如威迪凱(bestatin)等;以及(6)胜肽型的降血壓藥劑,如microginin等。在合成這些具有藥理活性的化合物時,對映性純的β-胺基酸與β-胺基-α-羥酸(enantiomerically pure β-amino acid and β-amino-α-hydroxy acids)是必需且相當重要的。In the prior art, when chemical synthesis methods are used to prepare pharmacologically active compounds, it is often necessary to purify β-amino acid and β-amino-α-hydroxy acid (β-amino-). --hydroxy acids). Agents with β-amino acid and β-amino-α-hydroxy acid as important components include: (1) bacterial β-lactams (β-lactams) antibiotics, such as penicillins (penicillins), cephalosporins Antibiotics such as cephalosporins, carbapenems, monobactams; (2) anticancer drugs such as taxol; (3) antibacterial agents such as double deoxygenation Dideoxykanamicin, etc.; (4) immunopotentiators, such as potent anti-HIV protease active compounds including kynostatins; (5) protein inhibitors such as bestatin; and (6) Peptide-type blood pressure lowering agents, such as microginin. In the synthesis of these pharmacologically active compounds, enantiomerically pure β-amino acid and β-amino-α-hydroxy acids are required and Quite important.

β-賴胺酸(β-lysine)與藥物的關係,在50年代已經被注意到了。其中鏈黴菌屬(Streptomyces )生產的紫黴素 (viomycin)、黃鏈絲菌素A(streptolin A)、鏈黴菌素(streptothricin)、玫瑰絲菌素(roseothricin)和地黴素(geomycin)等數種抗生素水解後可產生β-賴胺酸(Stadtman, T. 1973.Adv. Enzymol. Relat. Areas Molec. Biol . 38: 413-448)。土壤絲菌屬(Nocardia )之真菌生產的菌霉素(mycomycin),β-賴胺酸也是其組成之一。雖然目前對映性純的β-型胺基酸,如β-賴胺酸,可利用化學合成的方式大量生成,但是化學合成β-賴胺酸需要耗費時間以及昂貴的原料,並且得到的外消旋混合物(racemic mixture)仍需進一步純化。因此,需要一種可以有效純化對映性純的β-胺基酸如β-賴胺酸的方法與技術,以提高藥物合成能力。The relationship between β-lysine and drugs has been noted in the 1950s. Streptomyces produced several antibiotics such as viomycin, streptolin A, streptothricin, roseothricin and geomycin. After hydrolysis, β-lysine can be produced (Stadtman, T. 1973. Adv. Enzymol. Relat. Areas Molec. Biol . 38: 413-448). Mycomycin produced by the fungus of the genus Nocardia , and β-lysine is also one of its constituents. Although currently enantiomerically pure β-type amino acids, such as β-lysine, can be produced in large quantities by chemical synthesis, chemical synthesis of β-lysine requires time and expensive raw materials, and is obtained externally. The racemic mixture still requires further purification. Therefore, there is a need for a method and technique for efficiently purifying enantiomerically pure β-amino acids such as β-lysine to improve drug synthesis.

一種可以用於合成β-賴胺酸的酵素,賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶(lysine 2,3-aminomutase, AblA),於1970年已由Chirpich等人自Clostridium subterminal strain SB4純化出,並經證實具有轉化L-α-賴胺酸並生產L-β-賴胺酸的能力。此酵素催化之作用需要一些輔助因子(cofactor)的參與,該等輔助因子包括[4Fe-4S]團簇([4Fe-4S]cluster)、S-腺苷甲硫胺酸(S-adenosylmethionine, SAM)以及磷酸吡哆醛(pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, PLP),其作用機制為:細胞內還原蛋白將[4Fe-4S]2+ 還原成活化態的[4Fe-4S]1+ ,活化態的[4Fe-4S]1+ 會釋出電子與SAM進行反應,裂解SAM產生甲硫胺酸(methionine)以及5'-deoxyadensyl radical。而PLP與賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶之賴胺酸上的ε-銨自由基(ε-aminium group)形成內醛亞胺(internal aldimine)鍵結。在 受質α-賴胺酸存在下,PLP會與受質α-賴胺酸的α-氨基基團(α-amino group)進行transaldimation反應形成外醛亞胺(external aldimine)鍵結。[4Fe-4S]1+ 與SAM作用產生的5'-deoxyadensyl radical會與PLP鍵結的受質α-賴胺酸作用產生5'-去氧腺苷(5'-deoxyadenosine)以及具有自由基(radical)的中間產物,其中間產物經由異構化作用(isomerization)以及由5'-去氧腺苷提供氫原子轉移形成β-賴胺酸(Frey, P. A. and G. H. Reed. 1993.Adv. Enzymol. Relat. Areas. Mol. Biol . 66:1-39; Chen, D.et al . 2006.Biochemistry . 45: 12647-12653)。An enzyme that can be used to synthesize β-lysine, lysine 2,3-aminomutase (AblA), which was purified by Chirpich et al. from Clostridium subterminal strain SB4 in 1970. And has been shown to have the ability to convert L-alpha-lysine and produce L-beta-lysine. The action of this enzyme catalyzes the involvement of cofactors including [4Fe-4S] clusters ([4Fe-4S]cluster), S-adenosylmethionine, SAM And pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the mechanism of action is: intracellular reduced protein reduces [4Fe-4S] 2+ to activated [4Fe-4S] 1+ , activated state [ 4Fe-4S] 1+ releases electrons to react with the SAM, which cleaves the SAM to produce methionine and 5'-deoxyadensyl radical. The PLP and the ε-amminium group on the lysine of the lysine 2,3-aminotransposase form an internal aldimine bond. In the presence of the receptor α-lysine, PLP undergoes a transaldimation reaction with the α-amino group of the α-lysine to form an external aldimine bond. The 5'-deoxyadensyl radical produced by the action of [4Fe-4S] 1+ and SAM reacts with the PLP-bound receptor α-lysine to produce 5'-deoxyadenosine and has free radicals (5'-deoxyadenosine) Intermediate of the radical, the intermediate product is formed by isomerization and hydrogen transfer from 5'-deoxyadenosine to form β-lysine (Frey, PA and GH Reed. 1993. Adv. Enzymol. Relat. Areas. Mol. Biol . 66:1-39; Chen, D. et al . 2006. Biochemistry . 45: 12647-12653).

賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶(AblA)催化α-賴胺酸生成β-賴胺酸之作用已知需要[4Fe-4S]團簇、SAM以及PLP的參與。在胺基酸序列上,與[4Fe-4S]團簇結合位置是保留半胱胺酸(cysteine),與SAM結合位置具有較多的甘胺酸(glycine),與PLP鍵結的位置為賴胺酸(lysine)(Chen, D. and P. A. Frey. 2001.Biochem . 40: 596-602)。亦有研究指出此酵素活化需要鋅的參與(Ruzickaet al . 2000.J. Bacteriol . 182: 469-476),推測在胺基酸序列接近C端的位置上所包含的三個半胱胺酸為鋅結合的位置。由Clostridium subterminale 的賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶蛋白的晶體結構得知,賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶為不對稱四聚體結構,由相同的單體先聚合成二聚體(homodimer),再由兩個二聚體聚合成一個四聚體(homotetramer);其中各個單體的結構包含三個結構領域(domain),可分為:N-末端結構領域(N-terminal domain),包括第3至53個殘基(residues 3-53);中央球狀結構領域(central globular domain),包括第54至339個殘基(residues 54-339);以及C-末端結構領域(C-terminal domain),包括第340至412個殘基(residues 340-412)三部分。前述的N-末端結構領域包含7個短鏈螺旋結構(helices),形成團簇(cluster)被包覆在結構中心,與C-末端結構領域區隔。前述的中央球狀結構領域形成類似磷酸丙糖異構酶(triose phosphate isomerase, TIM)之(β/α)8 筒狀結構[(β/α)8 barrel],所形成的筒狀結構缺少了兩個β-摺板結構(β-strands)而形成(β/α)6 -新月體結構[(β/α)6 -crescent],其中新月體結構通道(crescent channel)包圍受質α-賴胺酸、PLP以及SeSAM/[4Fe-4S]複合體,形成一個活化部位。受質L-α-賴胺酸會與Asp-293、Asp-330以及Arg-134形成氫鍵鍵結;PLP位於新月體結構通道(crescent channel)的N-末端處,與Arg-112、Tyr-113、Arg-116以及水分子形成氫鍵鍵結,與Lys-337形成共價鍵結;[4Fe-4S]團簇的其中三個鐵原子會與Cys-125、Cys-129、Cys-133鍵結,第四個鐵原子則是會與SeSAM的α-氨基基團形成鍵結;而SeSAM會與His-131、Thr-133、His-230、Asp-293以及Gln-258形成氫鍵鍵結;前述的C-末端結構領域包含與鋅形成鍵結的三個半胱胺酸殘基(cysteine residues)(亦即Cys-375、Cys-377以及Cys-380),另外新月體結構(crescent)中的半胱胺酸殘基(Cys-268)亦會與鋅形成鍵結互相作用以穩定此四聚體結構(Leporeet al ., 2005.Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci . U.S.A. 102: 13819-13824)。The action of lysine 2,3-aminotransposase (AblA) to catalyze the production of β-lysine by α-lysine is known to require the participation of [4Fe-4S] clusters, SAM, and PLP. On the amino acid sequence, the binding position to the [4Fe-4S] cluster is to retain cysteine (cysteine), and the position of binding to the SAM has more glycine, and the position of bonding with PLP is Lysine (Chen, D. and PA Frey. 2001. Biochem . 40: 596-602). Studies have also shown that the activation of this enzyme requires the participation of zinc (Ruzicka et al . 2000. J. Bacteriol . 182: 469-476), suggesting that the three cysteine contained in the amino acid sequence near the C-terminus is The location of the zinc bond. From the crystal structure of the lysine 2,3-aminotransposase protein of Clostridium subterminale , the 2,3-aminotransferase of lysine is an asymmetric tetramer structure, which is first polymerized into two by the same monomer. A homodimer, which is further polymerized into a homotetramer by two dimers; wherein the structure of each monomer comprises three domains, which can be divided into: N-terminal structure domains (N- Terminal domain), including the 3rd to 53th residues (residues 3-53); the central globular domain, including 54th to 339th residues (residues 54-339); and the C-terminal structure The C-terminal domain consists of three parts, 340 to 412 residues (residues 340-412). The aforementioned N-terminal structure domain comprises seven short-chain helices, and a cluster is formed to be coated at the center of the structure, separated from the C-terminal structure domain. The aforementioned central globular structure forms a (β/α) 8 tubular structure [(β/α) 8 barrel] similar to triose phosphate isomerase (TIM), and the resulting cylindrical structure is lacking. Two β-strands (β-strands) form a (β/α) 6 - crescent structure [(β/α) 6 -crescent], in which the crescent channel surrounds the receptor α - Lysine, PLP and SeSAM/[4Fe-4S] complexes form an activation site. The receptor L-α-lysine forms a hydrogen bond with Asp-293, Asp-330 and Arg-134; the PLP is located at the N-terminus of the crescent channel, and Arg-112, Tyr-113, Arg-116 and water molecules form hydrogen bonds, forming a covalent bond with Lys-337; three of the [4Fe-4S] clusters will be associated with Cys-125, Cys-129, Cys -133 bond, the fourth iron atom will form a bond with the α-amino group of SeSAM; and SeSAM will form hydrogen with His-131, Thr-133, His-230, Asp-293 and Gln-258 Bonding; the aforementioned C-terminal structure domain contains three cysteine residues (ie, Cys-375, Cys-377, and Cys-380) bonded to zinc, and a new crescent The cysteine residue (Cys-268) in the crescent also interacts with zinc to stabilize the tetrameric structure (Lepore et al ., 2005. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci . USA 102: 13819-13824).

Frey以及Ruzicka於2001獲頒的美國專利(US Patent 6,248,874)是自厭氧的梭狀芽孢桿菌Clostridium subterminal strain SB4純化並定序賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶(lysine 2,3-aminomutase)基因序列,並將基因置於表現載體在大腸桿菌上大量表現蛋白,經IPTG誘導表現之後,證實在無氧情況下重組的大腸桿菌確有β-賴胺酸產生。同時,純化的重組蛋白賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶在溶液中或固定化狀態均能將α-賴胺酸轉化為對映性純度達87%的β-賴胺酸。梭狀芽孢桿菌屬(Clostridium )有不少菌株是屬於劇毒的病源菌,諸如肉毒桿菌、破傷風桿菌等。Frey and Ruzicka, US Patent No. 6,248,874, 2001, purify and sequence lysine 2,3-aminomutase from anaerobic Clostridium subterminal strain SB4. The gene sequence, and the gene was placed in the expression vector to express a large amount of protein on E. coli, and after induction by IPTG, it was confirmed that the recombinant Escherichia coli did have β-lysine production under anaerobic conditions. At the same time, the purified recombinant protein lysine 2,3-aminotransposase can convert α-lysine into β-lysine with enantiomeric purity of 87% in solution or in an immobilized state. Many strains of Clostridium belong to highly toxic pathogenic bacteria such as botulinum and tetanus.

綜上所述可知,現有技術以化學合成的方法需要耗費大量的時間以及成本,並且所合成的外消旋混合物(β-型胺基酸)還需要再進一步純化,而以梭狀芽孢桿菌來產製β-賴胺酸,則因梭狀芽孢桿菌有不少菌株是屬於劇毒的病源菌,因此由其所合成的β-型胺基酸有遭受致病性病源菌污染的風險。In summary, the prior art requires a large amount of time and cost for chemical synthesis, and the synthesized racemic mixture (β-type amino acid) needs further purification, and is treated with Clostridium. When β-lysine is produced, many strains of Clostridium are highly toxic pathogens, so the β-type amino acid synthesized by them has the risk of being contaminated by pathogenic bacteria.

發明之詳細說明Detailed description of the invention

為了使本發明更易於明瞭,係進一步說明本發明相關用語,除非另有指明,係具有如此技術領域中具有通常知識者所瞭解之意義。In order to make the present invention more comprehensible, the terminology of the present invention is further described, and unless otherwise indicated, it is intended to be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

絕對厭氧的甲烷古菌(太古生物,Archaea)需生長在無氧、低氧化還原電位的環境。甲烷古菌能適應廣泛的鹽濃度環境(0至4.5 M NaCl),為了適應環境中鹽濃度的壓力, 甲烷古菌會累積鉀離子、α-麩胺酸(α-glutamate)、甜菜鹼(glycine betaine)、β-麩胺酸(β-glutamate)、β-麩醯胺(β-glutamine)以及N ε -乙醯基-β-賴胺酸(N ε -acetyl-β-lysine)等相容質(compatible solutes)來對抗滲透壓逆境(Lai, M.-C. et al. 1991.J. Bacteriol . 173: 5352-5358),其中累積Nε -acetyl-β-lysine做為相容質目前只有在甲烷古菌中發現。Sowers首先在海洋甲烷古菌Methanogenium cariaci 與非海洋甲烷古菌Methanosarcina thermophila 發現可能是扮演相容質角色的N ε -acetyl-β-lysine (Sowers, K. R. et al. 1990.Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci . U.S.A. 87: 9083-9087)。Lai於1991年證實所有甲烷古菌會累積特殊β型胺基酸N ε -acetyl-β-lysine做為鹽逆境的相容質(Lai, M.-C. et al. 1991,同上述)。隨後證實N ε -乙醯基-β-賴胺酸(Nε -acetyl-β-lysine)生合成途徑是由α-賴胺酸經賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶(lysine 2,3-aminomutase)作用轉為β-賴胺酸,隨後再經由β-賴胺酸乙醯基轉移酶(β-lysine acetyltransferase)作用生合成N ε -acetyl-β-lysine (Roberts, M. F. et al. 1992.J. Bacteriol . 174: 6688-6693)。Pflüger確認Methanosarcina mazei 的賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶(lysine 2,3-aminomutase)與β-賴胺酸乙醯基轉移酶(β-lysine acetyltransferase)是生合成相容質N ε -acetyl-β-lysine所必須的基因且會受鹽誘導表現(Pflüger, K. et al. 2003.Appl. Environ. Microbiol . 69:6047-6055)。Absolutely anaerobic methane archaea (Archaea, Archaea) needs to grow in an anaerobic, low redox potential environment. Methane archaea can adapt to a wide range of salt concentration environments (0 to 4.5 M NaCl). In order to adapt to the pressure of salt concentration in the environment, methane archaea will accumulate potassium ions, α-glutamate, betaine (glycine). betaine), β- glutamic acid (β-glutamate), β- bran Amides (β-glutamine) and N ε - acetyl -β- yl lysine (N ε -acetyl-β-lysine ) and the like are compatible Compatible solutes against osmotic stress (Lai, M.-C. et al. 1991. J. Bacteriol . 173: 5352-5358), in which cumulative N ε -acetyl-β-lysine is present as compatible Only found in methane archaea. Sowers first discovered N ε -acetyl-β-lysine, which may play a compatible role in the Methanogenium cariaci and non-marine methane archaea Methanosarcina thermophila (Sowers, KR et al. 1990. Proc.

依據本發明,為了表現前述賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶, 可以利用鹽誘導方式於一厭氧環境下以甲烷古菌生產β-賴胺酸,該厭氧環境是無氧的密閉環境。在一較佳的實施例中,該厭氧環境是一充滿氮氣、二氧化碳、氫氣、惰性氣體或其等之組合的密閉環境。According to the present invention, in order to express the aforementioned lysine 2,3-aminotransposase, The β-lysine can be produced by the methane archaea in an anaerobic environment by means of salt induction, which is an oxygen-free closed environment.

綜上所述,本發明係利用分子生物技術提供來自於三株生長於不同鹽濃度、利用不同甲烷基質的甲烷古菌之賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶(lysine 2,3-aminomutase)於一藥物合成上的應用,其係具有下列特點:本發明使用非病原菌之甲烷古菌,其係能被應用於以發酵產生甲烷作能源的技術中。由於賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶(lysine 2,3-aminomutase)具有將L-賴胺酸(L-lysine)轉化成L-β-賴胺酸(L-β-lysine)能力,因此賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶基因可應用來製備L-β-賴胺酸,以減少並避免化學合成過程的繁複步驟。本發明利用分子生物技術,將三株生長在不同鹽度的厭氧甲烷古菌的賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶基因分別純化定序;並建構甲烷古菌賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶基因在大陽桿菌大量表現的載體。本發明證實甲烷古菌之賴胺酸2,3-胺基變位酶基因會受鹽濃度的增加而誘導表現。因此可以微生物發酵方式在鹽誘導下生產,在胞內以活體內(in vivo )方式大量生產重組蛋白以轉化L-α-賴胺酸並生產β-賴胺酸。或者以先純化出重組蛋白再進行活體外(試管內)(in vitro )方式來生產β-賴胺酸,此方式生產β-賴胺酸可降低成本並縮短所耗費的時間,且不需再將產物進一步純化。In summary, the present invention utilizes molecular biotechnology to provide lysine 2,3-aminomutase from three strains of methane archaea grown in different salt concentrations and using different methane substrates. The use in a pharmaceutical synthesis has the following characteristics: The present invention uses a non-pathogenic fungus of methane archaea, which can be applied to a technique for producing methane by fermentation as an energy source. Since lysine 2,3-aminomutase has the ability to convert L-lysine to L-β-lysine, Thus the lysine 2,3-aminotransposase gene can be used to prepare L-beta-lysine to reduce and avoid the cumbersome steps of the chemical synthesis process. The invention utilizes molecular biotechnology to purify and sequence three lysine 2,3-aminotransposase genes of anaerobic methane archaea grown in different salinities; and construct methane archaea lysine 2,3 A carrier in which the aminotransposase gene is abundantly expressed in the bacterium. The present invention confirms that the lysine 2,3-aminomutase gene of the methane archaea is induced by an increase in salt concentration. Therefore, it can be produced under salt induction by microbial fermentation, and the recombinant protein can be mass-produced intracellularly in vivo to transform L-α-lysine and produce β-lysine. Alternatively, the recombinant protein can be purified first and then in vitro ( in vitro ) to produce β-lysine. In this way, β-lysine can reduce the cost and shorten the time, and no need to The product was further purified.

由於甲烷古菌的賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶(lysine 2,3-aminomutase)是和β-賴胺酸乙醯基轉移酶(β-lysine acetyltransferase)一起作用,將L-α-賴胺酸轉化成相容質N ε -acetyl-β-lysine,以維持甲烷菌在高鹽與高滲透壓環境的胞內外壓力平衡及保護胞內蛋白質;因此基因的表現會隨著鹽度增加而增加。可以以鹽誘導表現,在活體內(in vivo )生產時可減少成本。基於上述,本發明所使用之耐鹽、嗜鹽生物的蛋白酵素具有耐鹽、耐溶劑與耐低水活性的特質,因此本發明相較一般微生物的蛋白酵素,諸如Frey以及Ruzicka於美國專利案第6,248,874中所用的Clostridium 蛋白基因,在試管內以免培養方法(culture independent method)生產β-賴胺酸時,應會更為穩定。Since the lysine 2,3-aminomutase of the methane archaea acts together with β-lysine acetyltransferase, L-α- Lysine is converted to a compatible N ε -acetyl-β-lysine to maintain the intracellular and extracellular pressure balance of methanogens in high salt and high osmotic pressure environments and to protect intracellular proteins; therefore, gene performance increases with salinity And increase. Salt-induced performance can be achieved, and costs can be reduced in in vivo production. Based on the above, the salt-tolerant, halophilic protein proteinase used in the present invention has the characteristics of salt tolerance, solvent resistance and low water activity, and thus the present invention is superior to the general microbial protein enzymes such as Frey and Ruzicka in the US patent case. The Clostridium protein gene used in No. 6,248,874 should be more stable when producing β-lysine in a test tube in a culture independent method.

本發明進一步將這三株甲烷古菌的賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶的胺基酸序列以同源性演算法(homology modeling),對照已解出晶體結構的C. subterminale 的lysine 2, 3-aminomutase胺基酸序列進行立體結構預測,結果如附件二所示,所預測的立體結構在這三株甲烷古菌與C .subterminale 的lysine 2, 3-aminomutase結構非常相似,並且以空間對接模型(Docked models)分析賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶與輔助因子結合的關係,結果如附件三,其輔助因子的結合位置在蛋白結構上具有高度的保留性。由結構分析顯示功能性區域的高度的保留性,可推測此基因產物具有賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶的活性。而由這些甲烷古菌可藉由α-賴胺酸(a-lysine)經由賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶作用轉為β-賴胺酸(β-lysine),隨後再經由β-lysine acetyltransferase作用生合成N ε -acetyl-β-lysine (Roberts, M. F. et al.1992.J. Bacterial . 174: 6688-6693),也可以確認此基因產物確實有賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶活性。According to the present invention, the amino acid sequence of the lysine 2,3-aminotransposase of the three strains of methane archaea is homology modeling, and the lysine of the C. subterminale having the crystal structure is solved . The stereostructure of the 2, 3-aminomutase amino acid sequence was predicted. The results are shown in Annex 2. The predicted three-dimensional structure is very similar to the lysine 2, 3-aminomutase structure of C. subterminale . Docked models were used to analyze the relationship between lysine 2,3-aminotransposase and cofactor binding. The results are shown in Annex III. The binding position of the cofactors is highly retained in the protein structure. From the structural analysis showing the high degree of retention of the functional region, it is speculated that this gene product has the activity of the lysine 2,3-aminotransposase. These methane archaea can be converted to β-lysine by α-lysine via lysine 2,3-aminotransferase, followed by β-lysine. Lysine acetyltransferase produces N ε -acetyl-β-lysine (Roberts, MF et al. 1992. J. Bacterial . 174: 6688-6693), and it can be confirmed that this gene product does have lysine 2,3-amino translocation Enzyme activity.

本發明又以系統演化分析C. subterminale 與這三株甲烷古菌的賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶的胺基酸序列相似度為53%至57%。甲烷古菌的蛋白之pI值較低,且帶有較多的 負電胺基酸,能與氫氧根離子鍵結以保持其表面為水合作用層,並維持其表面的疏水性,在高鹽環境下減少形成集團;嗜鹽性、耐鹽性生物的蛋白質能與鹽進行水合作用,使得嗜鹽性、耐鹽性生物的蛋白質能抵抗有機溶劑等低水活性的環境。顯示甲烷古菌的賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶相較於C. subterminale 具有耐鹽、耐高溶劑等特性,更適合於工業與胞外生產應用。The present invention further analyzes the amino acid sequence similarity between C. subterminale and the lysine 2,3-aminotransposase of the three strains of methane archaea by a system evolution of 53% to 57%. The protein of methane archaea has a low pI value and a large amount of negatively charged amino acid, which can bond with hydroxide ions to maintain its surface as a hydration layer and maintain its surface hydrophobicity. In the salt environment, the formation group is reduced; the protein of the halophilic and salt-tolerant organisms can be hydrated with the salt, so that the protein of the halophilic and salt-tolerant organism can resist the low-water activity environment such as an organic solvent. The lysine 2,3-aminotransposase showing methane archaea has the characteristics of salt tolerance and high solvent resistance compared with C. subterminale , and is more suitable for industrial and extracellular production applications.

目前所知的甲烷古菌之賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶的功能是將α-賴胺酸轉化為β-賴胺酸,再經由β-lysine acetyltransferase作用生合成相容質N ε -acetyl-β-lysine,以幫助甲烷古菌適應鹽逆境的環境,增加胞內溶質濃度並保護胞內蛋白避免遭受鹽與滲透壓的傷害,且甲烷古菌相容質N ε -acetyl-β-lysine生合成的量會隨著胞外鹽濃度增加而增加(Sower 1990; Lai, M.-C.et al . 1991.J. Bacteriol . 173: 5352-5358)。以嗜鹽甲烷古菌相容質N ε -acetyl-β-lysine之生合成酵素lysine 2, 3-aminomutase與β-lysine acetyltransferase基因abl AB做探針進行北方墨漬分析,結果如第一圖A、B及C區所顯示,M.portucalensis FDF1 會隨著外界鹽濃度的增加,其胞內N ε -acetyl-β-lysine生合成基因的表現量確實也會隨之增加。由此可推知,甲烷古菌的賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶基因的表現會隨著鹽濃度增加而增加,因此可利用鹽誘導表現來提高此基因的表現量。同時,甲烷古菌產生的甲烷可做生質能源較低成本;並且甲烷古菌並非致病菌,較之Frey以及Ruzicka於美國專利 案第6,248,874號中所用的安全上較有問題的厭氧的梭狀芽孢桿菌Clostridium ,以甲烷古菌做為活體內(in vivo )生產β-賴胺酸並沒有安全考量的疑慮。The function of the known lysine 2,3-aminotransposase of methane archaea is to convert α-lysine to β-lysine and then to synthesize compatible N ε via β-lysine acetyltransferase. -acetyl-β-lysine to help methane archaea adapt to the environment of salt stress, increase intracellular solute concentration and protect intracellular proteins from salt and osmotic pressure, and methane archaeal compatible N ε -acetyl-β The amount of -lysine biosynthesis increases as the extracellular salt concentration increases (Sower 1990; Lai, M.-C. et al . 1991. J. Bacteriol . 173: 5352-5358). The ink stain analysis was carried out by using the lysine 2, 3-aminomutase and the β-lysine acetyltransferase gene abl AB, which are compatible with the halophilic methanogens, N ε -acetyl-β-lysine, and the results are as shown in the first figure A. In the B, C and C regions, M. portucalensis FDF1 will increase the expression of intracellular N ε -acetyl-β-lysine biosynthesis genes as the concentration of external salt increases. It can be inferred that the expression of the lysine 2,3-aminotransposase gene of the methane archaea increases with the increase of the salt concentration, so that the salt-induced expression can be used to increase the expression of the gene. At the same time, the methane produced by the methane archaea can be used as a lower cost of biomass energy; and the methane archaea is not a pathogen, compared to the safer problematic anaerobic used by Frey and Ruzicka in U.S. Patent No. 6,248,874. Clostridium , a methane archaea for in vivo production of beta-lysine, has no safety concerns.

在本發明中,申請人已經將三株甲烷古菌之賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶基因(MmablAMcablAMpablA ),利用大腸桿菌異源表現,以添加有特定限制酶切位的引子進行聚合酶連鎖反應(PCR),進行選殖後,再利用相同限制酶作用,將基因片段分別送入pET系統於E. coli BL21 (DE3)-RIL中大量表現。Mm AblA、Mc AblA、Mp AblA在IPTG誘導下於大腸桿菌中皆有大量重組蛋白表現(如第二圖所示)。這些重組蛋白均以可溶性的蛋白呈現。而Frey以及Ruzicka於美國專利案第6,248,874號中已証實Clostridium subterminal strain SB4的賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶基因大腸桿菌上大量表現,經IPTG誘導之後,證實在無氧情況下重組的大腸桿菌確有β-賴胺酸產生;同時,其所純化的重組蛋白賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶在溶液中或固定化狀態均能轉化α-賴胺酸為對映性純度達87%的β-賴胺酸。相較於梭狀芽孢桿菌的賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶基因產物,本發明所提供的甲烷古菌之賴胺酸2,3-氨基轉位酶的基因與蛋白等,對於環境鹽度、滲透壓與溶劑的耐受性較佳,更適合應用於工業生產。In the present invention, the applicant has used three methionine 2,3-aminotransposase genes ( MmablA , McablA , MpablA ) of the methane archaea to express heterologously in E. coli to add a specific restriction enzyme cleavage site. The primers were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and after selection, the same restriction enzymes were used, and the gene fragments were separately sent to the pET system and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3)-RIL. Mm AblA, Mc AblA, and Mp AblA exhibited a large number of recombinant proteins in E. coli induced by IPTG (as shown in the second figure). These recombinant proteins are all presented as soluble proteins. In the US Patent No. 6,248,874, Frey and Ruzicka have demonstrated that the Clostridium subterminal strain SB4 has a large amount of lysine 2,3-aminotransposase gene E. coli. After induction by IPTG, it is confirmed that it is reconstituted in the absence of oxygen. Escherichia coli does have β-lysine production; at the same time, its purified recombinant protein lysine 2,3-aminotransposase can convert α-lysine into enantiomeric purity in solution or in immobilized state. Up to 87% beta-lysine. Compared with the lysine 2,3-aminotransposase gene product of Clostridium, the gene and protein of the lysine 2,3-aminotransposase provided by the present invention for the environment Salinity, osmotic pressure and solvent resistance are better, and it is more suitable for industrial production.

The pH of the culture solution (about pH 7.2) can be maintained after equilibrating with water-soluble CO 2 .

實施例2:萃取甲烷古菌染色體DNAExample 2: Extraction of methane archaea chromosomal DNA

本方法由Jarrell (1992)抽取甲烷古菌染色體DNA的方式加以修飾。將培養至中對數期的250 mL菌液收集至離心瓶中,利用高速離心機(Sorvall RC5C, DuPont Co.)以8000 rpm、4℃下離心15分鐘收集菌體。離心後所得的菌塊,以2 mL溶解溶液(lysis solution)(10 mM Tris, pH 8.0; 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0;2% SDS;100 μg/mL proteinase K)懸浮並打破菌體。將菌塊打散後於冰上靜置10分鐘,以離心機(Sigma, 2K15)14000 rpm、4℃下離心10分鐘,回收上清液,加入等體積4℃保存之酚/氯仿/異戊醇混合溶液(Phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol)(25:24:1),輕輕搖晃均勻後以離心機(Sigma, 2K15)14000 rpm、4℃下離心10分鐘,回收上清液重複上述萃取動作一次。小心取出離心後的上清液,加入RNase (50 μg/mL)於37℃作用一小時。再繼續以酚/氯仿/異戊醇混合溶液萃取兩次,取出上清液後加入一半體積的氯仿/異戊醇混合溶液(chloroform/isoamyl alcohol)(24:1),輕輕搖晃均勻後以離心機(Sigma, 2K15)14000 rpm、4℃下離心10分鐘,取出上清液重複氯仿/異戊醇混合溶液萃取動作兩次,直至界面層沒有蛋白質殘留為止。以3M醋酸鈉(sodium acetate)將上清液部分的醋酸鈉濃度調整為0.3 M以沉澱DNA,加入0.6-0.7倍體積之異丙醇(isopropanol)並混合均勻,以離心機(Sigma, 2K15)14000 rpm、4℃下離心10分鐘,小心地去除上層液,並加入適量70%酒精清洗DNA樣品,以離心機(Sigma, 2K15)14000 rpm、4℃下離心10分鐘,去除上層液,以真空減壓濃縮機(Savant Speed Vac System, Savant Co.)將酒精抽乾,以無菌水回溶DNA樣品,並以核酸電泳以及量測OD260 /OD280 比值檢視所萃取之DNA純度並且計算DNA含量。DNA及RNA的OD260 /OD280 比值至少要達1.8以上,倘若數值過低則顯示核酸樣品中蛋白質 含量過多,OD260 /OD280 的比值若高於2.0可能為酚(phenol)殘留所導致。在此標準下,核酸對波長260 nm之OD值為1時,雙股DNA之濃度為50 μg/mL,單股DNA及RNA的濃度為40 μg/mL,單股寡核苷酸(single oligonncleotide)的濃度則為20 μg/mL。依據此原則可計算出核酸之濃度(Sambrooket al ., 1989)。This method was modified by the method of extracting the chromosomal DNA of methane archaea from Jarrell (1992). The 250 mL bacterial solution cultured to the middle log phase was collected into a centrifuge bottle, and the cells were collected by a high-speed centrifuge (Sorvall RC5C, DuPont Co.) at 8000 rpm and centrifuged at 4 ° C for 15 minutes. The pellet obtained after centrifugation was suspended in 2 mL of a lysis solution (10 mM Tris, pH 8.0; 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0; 2% SDS; 100 μg/mL proteinase K) and the cells were disrupted. The bacteria pieces were dispersed, and then allowed to stand on ice for 10 minutes, centrifuged at 14000 rpm in a centrifuge (Sigma, 2K15) at 4 ° C for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was recovered, and phenol/chloroform/isoprene stored at an equal volume of 4 ° C was added. Phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol (25:24:1), gently shake it evenly, centrifuge with a centrifuge (Sigma, 2K15) at 14000 rpm, 4 ° C for 10 minutes, and recover the supernatant to repeat the above extraction. once. The supernatant after centrifugation was carefully taken out and added to RNase (50 μg/mL) for one hour at 37 °C. Continue to extract twice with a phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol mixed solution. After taking out the supernatant, add half a volume of chloroform/isoamyl alcohol (24:1), gently shake it evenly. Centrifuge (Sigma, 2K15) at 14000 rpm, centrifuge at 10 ° C for 10 minutes, remove the supernatant and repeat the extraction of the chloroform / isoamyl alcohol mixture solution twice until there is no protein residue in the interface layer. The sodium acetate concentration of the supernatant fraction was adjusted to 0.3 M with 3 M sodium acetate to precipitate DNA, and 0.6-0.7 volume of isopropanol was added and mixed uniformly to centrifuge (Sigma, 2K15). Centrifuge at 14000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4 °C, carefully remove the supernatant, and wash the DNA sample with an appropriate amount of 70% alcohol. Centrifuge (Sigma, 2K15) at 14000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4 °C to remove the supernatant. A vacuum concentrator (Savant Speed Vac System, Savant Co.) drains the alcohol, re-dissolves the DNA sample in sterile water, and examines the purity of the extracted DNA and calculates the DNA content by nucleic acid electrophoresis and measurement of the OD 260 /OD 280 ratio. . The OD 260 /OD 280 ratio of DNA and RNA should be at least 1.8 or more. If the value is too low, the protein content in the nucleic acid sample is too high. If the ratio of OD 260 /OD 280 is higher than 2.0, it may be caused by phenol residue. Under this standard, when the OD value of the nucleic acid at a wavelength of 260 nm is 1, the concentration of the double-stranded DNA is 50 μg/mL, the concentration of the single-stranded DNA and RNA is 40 μg/mL, and the single-stranded oligonucleotide (single oligonncleotide) The concentration is 20 μg/mL. The concentration of the nucleic acid can be calculated according to this principle (Sambrook et al ., 1989).
