Description
本出願は微生物遺伝育種技術及び微生物発酵技術に関し、特にDHA(ドコサヘキサエン酸)を産生するための微生物藻類の変異体又は突然変異体に関する。 The present application relates to microbial genetic breeding techniques and microbial fermentation techniques, and in particular to microbial algae mutants or mutants for producing DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
DHA(ドコサヘキサエン酸、C22:6、(omega−3))は、必須の脂肪酸、すなわち長鎖脂肪酸であり、それは人体内で合成できず、かつ重要な生理機能を有する。DHAはヒトの脳及び網膜における主要な成分であり、全DHAの20%が大脳皮質に存在し、網膜中に最大50%まで存在する。従って、DHAは神経系及び視覚系の発育に、及び正常な知性機能及び視覚機能の維持に重要な役割を果たす。DHAはまた、心血管疾患、癌、肉芽種生成などの予防に生理学的機能を有する。加えてDHAは種々の海洋魚の成長及び発育に必要とされる必須脂肪酸でもあり、稚魚の生存率を向上させ、色素欠乏症の発生率を低減することができる。従来、DHAは魚油から得られる。しかしながら、ポリ不飽和脂肪酸(PUFA)を魚油から抽出するには、抽出量が不安定である、収率が低い、コスト高である、及びその他のω−6PUFAの混入などの幾つかの問題点がある。漁業資源の制約が増えているために、DHAの従来の資源は、市場におけるDHAの需要増加に対処できない。従って、DHAの新資源の開発に関心が寄せられている。 DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, C22: 6, (omega-3)) is an essential fatty acid, that is, a long-chain fatty acid, which cannot be synthesized in the human body and has important physiological functions. DHA is a major component in the human brain and retina, with 20% of all DHA present in the cerebral cortex and up to 50% in the retina. Thus, DHA plays an important role in the development of the nervous and visual systems and in the maintenance of normal intelligence and visual functions. DHA also has physiological functions in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, granulation seed production and the like. In addition, DHA is an essential fatty acid required for the growth and development of various marine fish, and can improve the survival rate of juvenile fish and reduce the incidence of pigment deficiency. Traditionally, DHA is obtained from fish oil. However, extracting polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from fish oil has several problems, such as unstable extraction, low yield, high cost, and other ω-6 PUFA contamination There is. Due to the increasing constraints on fishery resources, conventional DHA resources cannot cope with increasing demand for DHA in the market. Therefore, there is an interest in developing new DHA resources.
シゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)は、海洋微細藻類(又は擬似真菌)であり、DHA及びその他のポリ不飽和脂肪酸(PUFA)の産生用の商業的供給源として開発されてきた。シゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)の生物安全性は証明されている。Hammondらはラット及び兎に対してそれを用いた一連の試験を実施し、副作用がないことを見出した。 Schizochytrium sp. Is a marine microalgae (or mimic fungus) that has been developed as a commercial source for the production of DHA and other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). The biosafety of Schizochytrium sp. Has been demonstrated. Hammond et al. Conducted a series of tests using it on rats and rabbits and found no side effects.
しかしながら、発酵プロセスでは、シゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)株の品質劣化が避けられず、これによりDHAの収率低下がもたらされる。従って株品質(主に成長速度、特にDHA含量)の継続的な改善が、シゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)産業における持続的な開発を促進するために重要である。 However, in the fermentation process, quality degradation of the Schizochytrium sp. Strain is unavoidable, leading to a reduction in DHA yield. Therefore, continuous improvement in strain quality (mainly growth rate, especially DHA content) is important to promote sustainable development in the Schizochytrium sp. Industry.
アセチル−CoAカルボキシラーゼ(ACC、(EC6.4.1.2)が、脂肪酸合成において重要な酵素であり、かつ除草剤キザロホップ(Quizalofop){2−[4−(6−クロロ−2−キノキサリン−オキシ)−フェノキシ]プロピオネート}はこの酵素の阻害剤である。キザロホップの存在下では、細胞は脂肪酸の生合成の撹乱に起因して成長が遅くなりさらには死亡する。 Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC, (EC 6.4.1.2) is an important enzyme in fatty acid synthesis and the herbicide Quizalofop {2- [4- (6-chloro-2-quinoxaline-oxy ) -Phenoxy] propionate} is an inhibitor of this enzyme, and in the presence of quizalofop, cells slow down and even die due to disturbances in fatty acid biosynthesis.
最近では、一部の研究によりキザロホップを使用して、増加したEPA含量を有する株のための突然変異された微細藻類を選抜できることが示された。 Recently, some studies have shown that quizalofop can be used to select mutated microalgae for strains with increased EPA content.
Chaturvediら(2004年)は、MNNGでナンノクロロプシス・オキュラタ(Nannochloropsis oculata)を突然変異させ、キザロホップ−耐性株のために選抜試験した。選抜された株からの結果は顕著に増加したEPA含量を示した。 Chaturvedi et al. (2004) mutated Nannochloropsis oculata at MNNG and screened for quizalofop-resistant strains. Results from the selected strains showed a significantly increased EPA content.
更に、Chaturvediら(2006年)は、EMSでナンノクロロプシス・オキュラタ(Nannochloropsis oculata)を突然変異させ、セルレニン及びエリスロマイシンに耐性のある株のための選抜試験をした。得られた株は29%及び12%だけ増加したEPA収率を示した。 In addition, Chaturvedi et al. (2006) mutated Nannochloropsis oculata with EMS and conducted a selection test for strains resistant to cerulenin and erythromycin. The resulting strain showed an EPA yield increased by 29% and 12%.
Cao Xiaohongら(2007年)は、珪藻植物ニツシア・レビス(Nitzschia laevis)をDMSO及びキザロホップで処理し、藻類のEPA含量が3.00%から3.58%に増加した結果になる。 Cao Xiaohong et al. (2007) resulted in the treatment of the diatom plant Nitzschia laevis with DMSO and kizarohop, increasing the alga EPA content from 3.00% to 3.58%.
これまで、キザロホップに耐性のあるシゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)変異体は報告されていない。たとえそのようなシゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)突然変異体が存在したとしても、EPA又はDHAの含量が、キザロホップ選抜を受ける突然変異体に対して増加されるかどうかはまだ不明である。更に、紫外線照射で誘発されたシゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)変異体がキザロホップ選抜を耐えることができるか否かは明確ではない。 So far, no Schizochytrium sp. Mutant resistant to quizalofop has been reported. Even if such a Schizochytrium sp. Mutant exists, it is still unclear whether the content of EPA or DHA is increased for mutants undergoing quizalofop selection. Furthermore, it is not clear whether Schizochytrium sp. Mutants induced by UV irradiation can withstand quizalofop selection.
本出願の発明者は意外にも、増加したDHA含量を有するシゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)変異体又は突然変異体が、シゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)株への紫外線照射の突然変異体誘導を適用し、次に脂肪酸合成(例えばアセチル補酵素A カルボキシラーゼ)における主要酵素に対する阻害剤(キザロホップを含むがそれに限定されない)を使用して方向性選択を実施することによって得ることができることを発見した。更に、得られた変異体又は突然変異体は、高いDHA含量、並びに未処置のシゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)株と比較して向上した成長速度を有する。 The inventor of the present application surprisingly applied Schizochytrium sp. Mutants or mutants with increased DHA content applied mutant induction of UV irradiation to Schizochytrium sp. Strains. And then found that it can be obtained by performing directional selection using inhibitors (including but not limited to quizalofop) to key enzymes in fatty acid synthesis (eg, acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase). Furthermore, the resulting mutant or mutant has a high DHA content and an improved growth rate compared to an untreated Schizochytrium sp. Strain.
従って、第一の態様において、未処置のシゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)株と比較して増加したDHA含量を有する変異体シゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)株を産生する方法が提供され、その方法には、突然変異株を産生するために紫外線照射を用いてシゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)株における突然変異誘導を誘発すること、その突然変異株をアセチル補酵素Aカルボキシラーゼ阻害剤と接触させること、及び未処置のシゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)株と比較して増加したDHA含量を有するシゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)株の変異体を選択すること、が含まれる。 Accordingly, in a first aspect, there is provided a method for producing a mutant Schizochytrium sp. Strain having an increased DHA content compared to an untreated Schizochytrium sp. Strain, the method comprising: Inducing mutagenesis in a Schizochytrium sp. Strain using ultraviolet radiation to produce a mutant strain, contacting the mutant strain with an acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase inhibitor, and Selecting a mutant of the Schizochytrium sp. Strain having an increased DHA content compared to an untreated Schizochytrium sp. Strain.
本明細書に開示した実施形態では、アセチル補酵素Aカルボキシラーゼに対する阻害剤はキザロホップである。特定な実施形態では、増加したDHA含量を有する選択された変異体はまた、成長速度が未処置のシゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)株の成長速度と比較して増加しており、その結果DHA産生効率は未処置のシゾキトリウム属(Schizochytrium sp.)株のDHA産生効率と比較して増加される。 In an embodiment disclosed herein, the inhibitor for acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase is quizalofop. In certain embodiments, selected mutants with increased DHA content also have an increased growth rate compared to the growth rate of an untreated Schizochytrium sp. Strain, resulting in DHA production. Efficiency is increased compared to the DHA production efficiency of an untreated Schizochytrium sp. Strain.
