- the increase in gene expression can be achieved by improving the transcription efficiency of the gene.
- Improvement of gene transcription efficiency can be achieved, for example, by replacing a promoter of a gene on a chromosome with a stronger promoter.

Examples of stronger promoters include the known high expression promoters T7 promoter, trp promoter, lac promoter, thr promoter, thr promoter, tac promoter, trc promoter, tet promoter, araBAD promoter, rpoH promoter, PR promoter, and PL promoter. Can be mentioned.

It is known to have a great influence, and the translation efficiency of a gene can be improved by modifying them.

- Escherichia coli, etc. there is a clear codon bias among the 61 amino acid codons found in the population of mRNA molecules, and the abundance of a tRNA seems to be directly proportional to the frequency of use of the corresponding codon. (Kane, JF, Curr. Opin. Biotechnol., 6 (5), 494-500 (1995)). That is, if a large amount of mRNA containing an excessive rare codon is present, translation problems may occur. Recent studies suggest that, inter alia, clusters of AGG / AGA, CUA, AUA, CGA, or CCC codons can reduce both the amount and quality of the synthesized protein.
- Codon substitution can be performed, for example, by a site-specific mutagenesis method in which a target mutation is introduced into a target site of DNA.

L-ロイシン生産能を付与又は増強するための方法としては、例えば、L-ロイシン生合成系酵素から選択される1またはそれ以上の酵素の活性が増大するように微生物を改変する方法が挙げられる。そのような酵素としては、特に制限されないが、leuABCDオペロンの遺伝子にコードされる酵素が挙げられる。酵素活性の増強には、例えば、L-ロイシンによるフィードバック阻害が解除されたイソプロピルマレートシンターゼをコードする変異leuA遺伝子(米国特許第6,403,342号)が好適に利用できる。
L-イソロイシン生産菌又はそれを誘導するための親株の例としては、6-ジメチルアミノプリンに耐性を有する変異株(特開平5-304969号)、チアイソロイシン、イソロイシンヒドロキサメートなどのイソロイシンアナログに耐性を有する変異株、さらにDL-エチオニン及び/またはアルギニンヒドロキサメートに耐性を有する変異株(特開平5-130882号).が挙げられるが、これらに限定されない。さらに、スレオニンデアミナーゼ、アセトヒドロキシ酸シンターゼなどのL-イソロイシン生合成に関与するタンパク質をコードする遺伝子で形質転換された組換え株もまた親株として使用できる(特開平2-458号, FR 0356739, 及び米国特許第5,998,178号)。また、L-イソロイシン生産能を有するコリネ型細菌としては、分岐鎖アミノ酸排出タンパク質をコードするbrnE遺伝子を増幅したコリネ型細菌(特開2001-169788)、L-リジン生産菌とのプロトプラスト融合によりL-イソロイシン生産能を付与したコリネ型細菌(特開昭62-74293)、ホモセリンデヒドロゲナーゼを強化したコリネ型細菌(特開昭62-91193)、スレオニンハイドロキサメート耐性株(特開昭62-195293)、α-ケトマロン耐性株(特開昭61-15695)、メチルリジン耐性株(特開昭61-15696)、Brevibacterium flavum AJ12149(FERM BP-759)(米国特許第4,656,135号)が挙げられる。

L-システイン生産能を付与又は増強するための方法としては、例えば、L-システイン生合成系酵素から選択される1またはそれ以上の酵素の活性が増大するように細菌を改変する方法が挙げられる。そのような酵素としては、特に制限されないが、セリンアセチルトランスフェラーゼ(cysE)や3-ホスホグリセリン酸デヒドロゲナーゼ(serA)が挙げられる。セリンアセチルトランスフェラーゼ活性は、例えば、システインによるフィードバック阻害に耐性の変異型セリンアセチルトランスフェラーゼをコードする変異型cysE遺伝子を細菌に導入することにより増強できる。変異型セリンアセチルトランスフェラーゼは、例えば、特開平11-155571や米国特許公開第20050112731に開示されている。また、3-ホスホグリセリン酸デヒドロゲナーゼ活性は、例えば、セリンによるフィードバック阻害に耐性の変異型3-ホスホグリセリン酸デヒドロゲナーゼをコードする変異型serA遺伝子を細菌に導入することにより増強できる。変異型3-ホスホグリセリン酸デヒドロゲナーゼは、例えば、米国特許第6,180,373号に開示されている。
L-セリン生産能を付与又は増強するための方法としては、例えば、L-セリン生合成系酵素から選択される1またはそれ以上の酵素の活性が増大するように細菌を改変する方法が挙げられる(特開平11-253187)。そのような酵素としては、特に制限されないが、3-ホスホグリセリン酸デヒドロゲナーゼ(serA)、ホスホセリントランスアミナーゼ(serC)、ホスホセリンホスファターゼ(serB)が挙げられる(特開平11-253187)。3-ホスホグリセリン酸デヒドロゲナーゼ活性は、例えば、セリンによるフィードバック阻害に耐性の変異型3-ホスホグリセリン酸デヒドロゲナーゼをコードする変異型serA遺伝子を細菌に導入することにより増強できる。変異型3-ホスホグリセリン酸デヒドロゲナーゼは、例えば、米国特許第6,180,373号に開示されている。

以下の手順により、B. lactofermentum 2256Δ(ldh、pta-ack、poxB、ach)株(WO2005/113745)のゲノム上のyggB遺伝子にL30型変異を導入し、グルタミン酸生成能が向上したFKS0121株を構築した。
<4-2-1>FKS0121ΔsucE1株の構築
sucE1遺伝子欠損用プラスミドpBS4SΔsucE1(WO2007/046389)を、電気パルス法にてFKS0121株に導入した。菌体をカナマイシン25μg/mLを含むCM-Dex寒天培地上に塗布し、31.5℃にて培養した。生育してきた株について、相同組換えによってゲノム上にpBS4SΔsucE1が組み込まれた1回組換え株であることをPCRで確認した。該1回組換え株は、野生型のsucE1遺伝子と欠損型のsucE1遺伝子の両方を有する。
ynfM遺伝子欠損用プラスミドpBS4SΔynfM1の構築
B. lactofermentum 2256株のゲノムDNAを鋳型として、配列番号255および256の合成DNAをプライマーとしてPCRを行い、ynfM遺伝子のN末端側コード領域を含むPCR産物を得た。一方、B. lactofermentum 2256株のゲノムDNAを鋳型として、配列番号257および258の合成DNAをプライマーとしてPCRを行い、ynfM遺伝子のC末端側コード領域を含むPCR産物を得た。配列番号256と257は一部が相補的な配列となっている。次にynfM遺伝子のN末側コード領域を含むPCR産物およびynfM遺伝子のC末側コード領域を含むPCR産物をそれぞれほぼ等モルとなるように混合し、In Fusion HD cloning kit(clontech社製)を用いて、BamHIとPstIで処理をしたpBS4Sベクター(WO2007/046389)に挿入した。このDNAを用いて、エシェリヒア・コリJM109のコンピテントセル(宝酒造)を用いて形質転換を行い、IPTG 100μM、X-Gal 40μg/mLおよびKm 25μg/mLを含むLB培地に塗布し、一晩培養した。その後、出現した白色のコロニーを釣り上げ、単コロニー分離し、形質転換体を得た。得られた形質転換体よりプラスミドを抽出し、目的のPCR産物が挿入されていたものをpBS4SΔynfMと命名した。
上記で得られたpBS4SΔynfMはコリネ型細菌の細胞内で自律複製可能とする領域を含まないため、本プラスミドでコリネ型細菌を形質転換した場合、極めて低頻度であるが本プラスミドが相同組換えによりゲノムに組み込まれた株が形質転換体として出現する。そこで、pBS4SΔynfM1を電気パルス法にてFKS0121株に導入した。菌体をカナマイシン25μg/mLを含むCM-Dex寒天培地上に塗布し、31.5℃にて培養した。生育してきた株について、相同組換えによってゲノム上にpBS4SΔynfMが組み込まれた1回組換え株であることをPCRで確認した。該1回組換え株は、野生型のynfM遺伝子と欠損型のynfM遺伝子の両方を有する。
<4-3-1>pyc遺伝子発現用プラスミドpVK9::PmsrA-pycの構築
B. lactofermentum 2256由来のpyc遺伝子を発現させるためのプラスミドpVK9::PmsrA-pycを下記方法で作製した。pyc遺伝子は、ピルベートカルボキシラーゼをコードする遺伝子である。B. lactofermentum 2256のpyc遺伝子の塩基配列、及び同遺伝子がコードするタンパク質のアミノ酸配列を、それぞれ配列番号275および276に示す。まず、クロスオーバーPCRによってpyc遺伝子をB. lactofermentum 2256由来メチオニンスルホキシドレダクターゼA遺伝子(msrA)のプロモーターと連結した。具体的には、B. lactofermentum 2256株のゲノムDNAを鋳型として、配列番号259および260の合成DNAをプライマーとしてPCRを行い、msrA遺伝子のプロモーター領域を含むPCR産物を得た。一方、B. lactofermentum 2256株のゲノムDNAを鋳型とし、配列番号261および262の合成DNAをプライマーとしてPCRを行い、pyc遺伝子のorf領域を含むPCR産物を得た。配列番号260と261は相補的な配列となっている。次にmsrA遺伝子のプロモーター領域を含むPCR産物およびpyc遺伝子のorf領域を含むPCR産物をそれぞれほぼ等モルとなるように混合し、配列番号263および264の合成DNAをプライマーとしてPCRを行い、msrA遺伝子のプロモーターと連結したpyc遺伝子断片を得た。次に、該断片をIn Fusion HD cloning kit(clontech社製)を用いて、BamHIとPstIで処理をしたpVK9ベクター(WO2007/046389)に挿入した。なお、pVK9はコリネバクテリウム及びE. coliのシャトルベクターである。このDNAを用いて、エシェリヒア・コリJM109のコンピテントセル(宝酒造)を用いて形質転換を行い、IPTG 100μM、X-Gal 40μg/mL、およびKm 25μg/mLを含むLB培地に塗布し、一晩培養した。その後、出現した白色のコロニーを釣り上げ、単コロニー分離し、形質転換体を得た。得られた形質転換体よりプラスミドを抽出し、目的のPCR産物が挿入されていたものをpVK9::PmsrA-pycと命名した。
pVK9::PmsrA-pycを、電気パルス法にて、FKS0121株、FKS0121ΔsucE1株、FKS0121ΔynfM株に導入した。菌体をカナマイシン25μg/mLを含むCM-Dex寒天培地上に塗布し、31.5℃にて培養した。生育してきた株を、同プレートにて純化したものを、其々、FKS0121/pVK9::PmsrA-pyc株、FKS0121ΔsucE1/pVK9::PmsrA-pyc株、FKS0121ΔynfM/pVK9::PmsrA-pyc株と命名した。
CM-Dexプレート培地にて培養して得たFKS0121/pVK9::PmsrA-pyc株、FKS0121ΔsucE1/ pVK9::PmsrA-pyc株、及びFKS0121ΔynfM pVK9::PmsrA-pyc株を、カナマイシン25μg/mLを含むジャー評価用培地 300 mL(グルコース100 g/L、MgSO4・7H2O 0.5 g/L、H3PO4 2 g/L、大豆加水分解物 1 g/L、(NH4)2SO4 10 g/L、FeSO4・7H2O 20 mg/L、MnSO4・5H2O 20 mg/L、VB1・HCl 1 mg/L、biotin 3 mg/L、GD-113(消泡剤)0.65 mL/L、pHはKOHにて6.5に調整)に接種し、ジャーファーメンターを用いて、通気量80 mL/min、CO2 20 mL/min、31.5℃、300 rpmにて18時間培養した。尚、培養中のpHは6.5に維持されるよう、適宜アンモニアを添加した。
本実施例では、Brevibacterium lactofermentum (Corynebacterium glutamicum) 2256(ATCC 13869)に由来する、Malyl-CoA経路が導入され、ジカルボン酸排出担体遺伝子を欠損した株を構築し、グルタミン酸生産を行った。
<5-1-1>pyc遺伝子発現用プラスミドpVS7::PmsrA-pycの構築
B. lactofermentum 2256由来のpyc遺伝子を発現させるためのプラスミドpVS7::PmsrA-pycを下記方法で作製した。まず、クロスオーバーPCRによってpyc遺伝子をB. lactofermentum 2256由来msrA遺伝子のプロモーターと連結した。具体的には、B. lactofermentum 2256株のゲノムDNAを鋳型として、配列番号259および260の合成DNAをプライマーとしてPCRを行い、msrA遺伝子のプロモーター領域を含むPCR産物を得た。一方、B. lactofermentum 2256株のゲノムDNAを鋳型とし、配列番号261および262の合成DNAをプライマーとしてPCRを行い、pyc遺伝子のorf領域を含むPCR産物を得た。配列番号260と261は相補的な配列となっている。次にmsrA遺伝子のプロモーター領域を含むPCR産物およびpyc遺伝子のorf領域を含むPCR産物をそれぞれほぼ等モルとなるように混合し、配列番号263および264の合成DNAをプライマーとしてPCRを行い、msrA遺伝子のプロモーターと連結したpyc遺伝子断片を得た。次に、該断片をIn Fusion HD cloning kit(clontech社製)を用いて、BamHIとPstIで処理をしたpVS7ベクター(WO2013069634)に挿入した。なお、pVS7はコリネバクテリウム及びE. coliのシャトルベクターである。このDNAを用いて、エシェリヒア・コリJM109のコンピテントセル(宝酒造)を用いて形質転換を行い、IPTG 100μM、X-Gal 40μg/mL、およびスペクチノマイシン 50μg/mLを含むLB培地に塗布し、一晩培養した。その後、出現した白色のコロニーを釣り上げ、単コロニー分離し、形質転換体を得た。得られた形質転換体よりプラスミドを抽出し、目的のPCR産物が挿入されていたものをpVS7::PmsrA-pycと命名した。
還元的TCAサイクルを介したGluフラックスを増大するための方法として、WO 2013/018734記載のMalyl-CoA経路を導入する方法が知られている。Malyl-CoA経路は、例えば、glxR、gcl、mcl、およびmtk遺伝子を導入することにより導入することができる。glxRは2-ヒドロキシ-3-オキソプロピオン酸レダクターゼをコードする遺伝子、gclはグリオキシル酸カルボリガーゼをコードする遺伝子、mclはマリルCoAリアーゼをコードする遺伝子、mtkはマレートチオキナーゼをコードする遺伝子である。そこで、glxR、gcl、mcl、およびmtk遺伝子を発現させるためのプラスミドpVK9::GGMMを下記方法で作製した。ロドコッカス・ジョスティのglxR-gcl遺伝子領域のDNA(配列番号265)、及びlacプロモーター配列とメチロコッカス・キャプスラタスのmcl-mtk遺伝子領域を結合したDNA(配列番号266)を、それぞれ化学合成した(GenScript社)。次に、化学合成した配列番号265のDNAを鋳型として、配列番号267および268の合成DNAをプライマーとして、Prime Starポリメラーゼ(タカラバイオ社製)を用いてPCRを行った。また、化学合成した配列番号266のDNAを鋳型として、配列番号269および270の合成DNAをプライマーとして、Prime Starポリメラーゼ(タカラバイオ社製)を用いてPCRを行った。どちらの場合も、反応溶液はキットに添付された組成に従って調整し、98℃にて10秒、55℃にて5秒、72℃にて180秒の反応を30サイクル行った。その結果、glxR-gcl遺伝子群を含むPCR産物、およびlacプロモーター配列と連結したmcl-mtk遺伝子群を含むPCR産物を取得した。さらに、pVK9(WO2007/046389)を鋳型として、配列番号271および272の合成DNAをプライマーとして、Prime Starポリメラーゼ(タカラバイオ社製)を用いてPCRを行った。反応溶液はキットに添付された組成に従って調整し、98℃にて10秒、55℃にて5秒、72℃にて360秒の反応を30サイクル行い、pVK9の配列を有するPCR産物を取得した。次に、得られた3種類のPCR産物を、In-Fusion HD Cloning Kit(Clontech社製)を用いて連結した。得られたプラスミドをpVK9-GGMMと命名した。
pVS7::PmsrA-pycおよびpVK9::GGMMを、電気パルス法にて、FKS0121株、FKS0121ΔsucE1株、FKS0121ΔynfM株に導入した。菌体をカナマイシン25μg/mL、スペクチノマイシン50μg/mLを含むCM-Dex寒天培地上に塗布し、31.5℃にて培養した。生育してきた株を、同プレートにて純化したものを、其々、FKS0121/pVS7::PmsrA-pyc+pVK9::GGMM株、FKS0121ΔsucE1/pVS7::PmsrA-pyc+pVK9::GGMM株、FKS0121ΔynfM/pVS7::PmsrA-pyc+pVK9::GGMM株と命名した。
CM-Dexプレート培地にて培養して得たFKS0121/pVS7::PmsrA-pyc+pVK9::GGMM株、FKS0121ΔsucE1/pVS7::PmsrA-pyc+pVK9::GGMM株、及びFKS0121ΔynfM/pVS7::PmsrA-pyc+pVK9::GGMM株を試験管培地 3 mL(グルコース20 g/L、Urea 4 g/L、KH2PO4 0.5 g/L、K2HPO4 0.5 g/L、(NH4)2SO4 14 g/L、FeSO4・7H2O 20 mg/L、MnSO4・5H2O 20 mg/L、MgSO4・7H2O 0.5 g/L、VB1・HCl 0.2 mg/L、biotin 0.2 mg/L、イーストエキストラクト 1/gl、カザミノ酸 1 g/L、pHは無調整)に接種し、31.5℃で約16時間振とう培養を行った。この培養液のうち、300μLを1.5 mLエッペンチューブに分注した300μLグルタミン酸生産培地(グルコース 100 g/L、(NH4)2SO4 2 g/L、HEPES(KOHにてpH8.2に調整) 0.2 M、NaCO3 0.2 M)と混合し、嫌気条件にて32℃、48時間、振とう培養を行った。
