背景技術 Background art
卜レハロースは、 医薬品、 ィ bffi品、 食品などに広い用途が期待され、 従来から工業生 産するための多くの試みがなされてきた。これらの技術は大別して次の三つに する ことができる。その一つはトレ八ロースを菌体内に蓄積する性質を有する微生物から該 物質を抽出精製する方法である (例えば、 J. Am. Chem. Soc. 7 2巻, .2 0 5 9頁, 1 9 5 0年、 ドイツ特許第 2 6 6 5 8 4号公報、特開平 3— 1 3 0 0 8 4号公報、特開平 5 — 9 1 8 9 0号公報、特開平 5— 1 8 4 3 5 3号公報およ ζ ^寺開平 5— 2 9 2 9 8 6号 公報を参照)。 この方法は、 微生物の培養工程、 分離工程、 微生物からの卜レハロース の抽出工程、抽出したトレ八ロースの精製結晶化工程から構成されており、 トレハロー スの製造工程が非常に複雑である。しかも、 トレ八ロースの 性が低いばかりでなぐ 多量の微生物抽出残査が廃難として発生するため、経 効率の良い方法とは言えなか つた。 Trehalose is expected to have a wide range of uses in medicines, bffi products, foods, etc., and many attempts have been made for industrial production. These technologies can be broadly divided into the following three types. One of them is a method of extracting and purifying the substance from microorganisms having the property of accumulating treoctylose in cells (for example, see J. Am. Chem. Soc. 72, 0.259, 1 950, German Patent No. 2 660 584, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-130804, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-9-1890, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-1843 No. 53 and ζ ^ Keihei 5—292 9 896). This method involves the steps of culturing microorganisms, separating them, and treating trehalose from microorganisms. The process consists of an extraction process and a purification and crystallization process of the extracted trehalose, and the trehalose production process is very complicated. In addition, because the amount of microbial extraction residue that is not only low in the properties of Torehachiloose is generated as waste, it was not an efficient method.
また、 卜レハロースを菌体外に生産する微生物として、 ブレビパクテリゥ厶 Brevipacterium is a microorganism that produces trehalose extracellularly.
(Brevibacterium)属ゃコリネバクテリウ厶 (Corynebacterium) 属等の微生物を培養し てトレ八ロースを生産させる発酵法が開発されている(例えば、特開平 5— 2 1 1 88 2号公報参照)。 しかしながら、 この方法においても卜レハロースの培地中の蓄積率は 約 3% (w/v) と低いため、 卜レハロースを工業的に大量生産するためには大容量の 発酵槽とそれに見合う規模の精製設備が必要であり経済的に問題がある。 しかも、 この 方法においても精製した卜レハロースを得るためには除菌操作が必要とされるばかリ でなく、 ±咅養時に使用菌株が生産する夾雑物あるいは培地成分等の除去に煩雑な工程が 必要である。 、 A fermentation method has been developed in which a microorganism of the genus (Brevibacterium) genus Corynebacterium or the like is cultured to produce trehalose (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-218182). However, even in this method, the accumulation rate of trehalose in the culture medium is as low as about 3% (w / v) .Therefore, in order to mass-produce trehalose on an industrial scale, a large-capacity fermenter and a purification scale suitable for it are required. Equipment is necessary and there is an economic problem. In addition, in this method, in order to obtain purified trehalose, not only is it necessary to remove bacteria, but also complicated steps are required to remove contaminants or medium components produced by the used strain at the time of culture. is necessary. ,
—方、 これら発酵法の種々の問題点を解決する方法として酵素法が開発されている。 即ち、 微生物由来のマル卜一スホスホリラーゼ(maltose:orthophosphate β -D-glucosyl transferase) と藻類由来の卜レハロースホスホリラーゼ( α, -treha!ose:orthophosphate 3 -D-glucosyl transferase) をリン酸存在下でマル I— スに作用させてトレハロースを生産する方法 (例えば、 特許第 1 51 351 7号公報、 Agric.

That is, a microorganism-derived maltose phosphorylase (maltose: orthophosphate β-D-glucosyl transferase) and an algae-derived trehalose phosphorylase (α, -treha! Ose: orthophosphate 3 -D-glucosyl transferase) are converted in the presence of phosphoric acid. A method for producing trehalose by reacting with maltose (see, for example, Patent No. 1513517, Agric. Biol. Chem, 49, 2113, 1985), and Bacterial sucrose: orthophosphate α-D-glucosy I transferase (Sucrose: orthophosphate a-D-glucosyl transferase; transferase) to sucrose in the presence of phosphoric acid to obtain trehalose (See, for example, the 3rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Agricultural Chemistry 3R a14). According to these methods, trehalose can be produced from maltose or sucrose with a high yield of 60 to 70%. In addition, since purified high-condensed saccharide is used as a raw material, it is easy to purify treoctylose obtained by an enzymatic reaction, and it is an industrially advantageous method by using i: tlS with other methods. It is believed that. However, the sources of enzymes used in these methods, particularly trehalose phosphorylase, are very limited, such as euglena and maitake, which are algae and basidiomycetes. However, in order to stably produce enzymes, there were technical problems as well as economic problems. In addition, the obtained treoctylose phosphorylase, which is used in combination with the cyanose phosphorylase, and maltose phosphorylase, differ greatly in the optimal pH region of each enzyme, and also have very high temperature stability. The reaction for the production of trehalose was only possible at low temperatures of about 25 to 37 ° C. This suggests that PH control when using two enzymes in combination is extremely difficult, but also low, and that bacterial contamination may occur during the enzymatic reaction performed using an open-type reactor. However, there are problems such as the necessity of strict hygiene management in order to prevent side reactions caused by this. Furthermore, when these known enzymes were used in combination, high raw materials could not be used due to the substrate separation dependence of these enzymes. Therefore, these methods were not economically efficient either.

本発明によれば、 トレハロースを酵素的に製造する際に必要なマルトースホスホリ ラーゼおよび卜レ八ロースホスホリラーゼを菌体内及び菌体外に生産し得る新規な微 生物が提供される。 本発明の微生物は細菌であるので、 従来トレ八ロースホスホリラ 一ゼの供 v給源として知られていた緑藻や担子菌に]; して、 酵素の取得方法が非常に 容易であるばかりでなく、 培養時間も大幅に短縮することができ経済的である。 さら に、 本発明の微生物は、 一種類の微生物のみを用いて、 トレ八ロースの酵素的生産に 必要な二種類の酵素を同時に生産し得るという点でも実用的に著し ヽ利点を有する。 また、 本発明の 2つの酵素は、 トレ八ロースを酵素的に生産する際に要求される諸要 件をいずれも満足するので、 得られる卜レハロースの有効利用を著しく容易にし、 経 済的にも大幅な改善を達成し得るものである。 即ち、 本発明のマルトースホスホリラ ーゼおよび卜レハロースホスホリラーゼは高い ^安定性を有し、 高温での酵素 J¾s か可能であるので反応中の雑菌汚染から免れることができる。 さらには、 両方の酵素 がほぼ同じ最適 p H範囲を有しているので反応中の煩雑な p H管理が不要であると tゝ う利点も有する。 更に、 本発明の酵素を得るための別の方法として、 上記蘭株から本 発明の酵素をコードする遺伝子を取り出した後、 遺伝子工学技術を用いて組換え微生 物を作製し、 当該組換え微生物を培養することによって卜レハロースを酵素的に製造 する際に必要なマル I ^一スホスホリラーゼと卜レハロースホスホリラーゼの生産、 両 酵素の夕ンパク質工学的な改良が可能になった。 According to the present invention, there is provided a novel microorganism capable of producing maltose phosphorylase and trehalose phosphorylase necessary for enzymatic production of trehalose in and out of cells. Since the microorganism of the present invention is a bacterium, In addition to green algae and basidiomycetes, which are known as sources of i-ze, the method for obtaining the enzyme is not only very easy, but also the cultivation time can be greatly reduced and it is economical. Furthermore, the microorganism of the present invention has practically remarkable advantages also in that it can simultaneously produce two kinds of enzymes required for the enzymatic production of trehalose using only one kind of microorganism. Further, the two enzymes of the present invention satisfy all of the requirements required for enzymatic production of trehalose, so that the effective use of the obtained trehalose is remarkably facilitated, and economically. Can also achieve significant improvements. That is, the maltose phosphorylase and trehalose phosphorylase of the present invention have high ^ stability and can be used only at high temperature of the enzyme J¾s, so that they can be free from bacterial contamination during the reaction. Furthermore, since both enzymes have almost the same optimum pH range, there is an advantage that complicated pH control during the reaction is not required. Further, as another method for obtaining the enzyme of the present invention, after extracting the gene encoding the enzyme of the present invention from the above-mentioned orchid strain, a recombinant microorganism is produced using genetic engineering techniques, and By culturing microorganisms, it became possible to produce mal I ^ -phosphorylase and trehalose phosphorylase, which are required for enzymatic production of trehalose, and to improve both enzymes in terms of protein engineering.
