Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently separate hirudins from a culture solution without containing microbial cells after completing culture of microorganism capable of secreting and producing the hirudins by regulating the culture solution to acidity, allowing the regulated culture solution to stand, then separating the culture solution into the microbial cells and a culture supernatant, preventing the hirudins from being inactivated, and decomposed and sterilizing the filtrate. CONSTITUTION:Escherichia coli JM109 (FERM P-3104) transformed with a plasmid pMTSHV1C3 for secreting and producing hirudins is cultured in a culture medium at 37 deg.C for 18hr by shaking culture and the resultant culture as a seed culture is added to a synthetic culture medium and cultured at pH 7.0 and 37 deg.C for 24hr using a fermenter. The resultant culture solution containing microbial cells just after completing the culture is regulated to pH <=5 with an acid such as sulfuric acid, allowed to stand for a while, subsequently centrifuged and separated into microbial cells and a culture supernatant. The obtained culture supernatant is then filtered through a filter to remove proteins other than the hirudins insolubilized under acidic conditions. Thereby, the hirudins are efficiently separated while preventing the hirudins from being inactivated and decomposed.

Alternatively, although there are many technical literatures, these methods generally involve culturing these bacterial cells, removing the bacterial cells from the culture solution and sterilizing after completion of the culture, and isolating and purifying hirudins from the culture supernatant. is doing. These documents do not describe the sterilization of the culture solution before removing the bacterial cells from the culture solution.

[0003] Centrifugation, membrane filtration, etc. are generally used as means for removing the cells. However, because it is a recombinant microorganism,
Sterilization and sufficient sterilization at the earliest stage are necessary. In particular, this is indispensable at the scale for producing hirudins on a large scale. In the case of large-scale culture of Escherichia coli, centrifugation alone is not sufficient for eradication, and filtration with a filter or the like is necessary. However, the filtration with this filter has a drawback that the filter is immediately clogged.

This is also the case in the secretory production of hirudin, and it is considered that this is a cause of the fact that hirudin is decomposed at the latter stage of the culture, where a large amount of hirudin is accumulated in the medium, and the accumulated amount is decreased.

In the present invention, the pH of the culture solution containing the cells immediately after the completion of the culture of the hirudin secretory production bacterium is first adjusted with an acid.
Set to 5 or less. As the acid used, inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid or organic acids such as acetic acid are used. Of culture
The pH is adjusted to 5 or less, but especially when the pH is adjusted to 3 to 4,
It is desirable to adjust to such a pH, because the killing rate of the producing bacteria can be increased and the clogging of the filter during the subsequent filtration can be significantly prevented without lowering the hirudin activity. Immediately after the completion of the culture in the present invention, it means the time immediately after the completion of the culture or for several hours after that, when the hirudin activity is not substantially reduced. Next, the culture solution containing the cells adjusted to pH 5 or less is left for a while and then separated into the cells and the culture supernatant. Temporary leaving is to leave at 4 to 37 ° C. for about 10 minutes to several hours, and as a separating means, means such as centrifugation and filter filtration can be used alone or in combination.

According to the method of the present invention, the pH of the culture medium containing the cells immediately after the culturing is adjusted to 5 or less with an acid and left for a while so that the inactivation and decomposition of hirudins can be suppressed and the sterilization of the cells can be completed. It can be performed and facilitates the separation of bacterial cells. Furthermore, it is possible to remove impurities proteins.

Further, the features of the present invention will be described by taking Escherichia coli as an example. It is a well-known fact that Escherichia coli is killed when the pH of the culture solution is made acidic or alkaline, but when it is made alkaline, the Escherichia coli protein may elute from the cells and increase the impurities of hirudin in the culture solution. It is not preferable because it will happen. Many proteins become insoluble and precipitate when acidified, but hirudin is highly soluble even in acid and does not lead to a decrease in recovery rate. Therefore, it becomes possible to sterilize Escherichia coli and remove impurity proteins by means such as centrifugation or filtration after acidification.

Furthermore, depending on the culture conditions, Escherichia coli produces an enzyme that decomposes a heterologous protein, which may decompose hirudin in the medium.
Since it is inactivated at a pH of 5 or less, preferably 4.0 or less, it is possible to suppress decomposition by an enzyme. Further, as described above, by making the pH of the culture solution acidic, proteins other than hirudin become insoluble precipitates, but the precipitates formed improve the sterilization performance during centrifugation to remove E. coli, When the supernatant after centrifugation is further filtered with a filter, its filterability is improved. The present invention has been completed by skillfully combining the properties of hirudins with the properties of bacterial cells such as Escherichia coli.

[Example 3] When a hirudin-secreting producing bacterium was cultured in the same manner as in Example 1, the activity of hirudin in the medium decreased in a certain culture in the latter half of the culture, and the activity was completely lost at 24 hours. This is probably because E. coli protease was induced under some conditions, which decomposed hirudin in the medium.

Example 4 A part of the culture solution prepared after 24 hours and adjusted in the same manner as in Example 1 was adjusted to pH 3.5 with H 2 SO 4 , allowed to stand at room temperature for 1 hour and then centrifuged to obtain a supernatant. The centrifugation supernatant of this and the culture solution at the end of the culture was subjected to 8-25% gradient SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis, stained with Coomassie blue and analyzed with a densitometer. As a result, the protein purity of hirudin in the culture supernatant at the end of the culture was approximately 30%, whereas those treated with pH 3.5 removed proteins with large molecular weight, and the protein purity of hirudin improved to approximately 70%. Was there.
