Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing L-amino acids using Escherichia coli.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing L-tryptophan, L-lysine, L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, L-glutamic acid, L-histidine, L-cysteine, or L-proline.
- L-tryptophan and L-lysine are useful as additives for animal feed, components of health food, and amino acid infusions.
- L-phenylalanine is useful as animal feed and as a precursor of aspartame.
- L-tyrosine is useful as a raw material for producing adrenaline.
- L-glutamic acid is useful as a seasoning material, as an amino acid infusion, and as a component of amino acid preparations.
- L-histidine is useful as a liver function-promoting drug and as a precursor of histamine.
- L-cysteine is useful as a food additive, and as a component of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
- L-proline is useful as an amino acid infusion.
- L-amino acid-producing bacteria used in the fermentative production have been generally bred by modification to enhance an activity of an L-amino acid-bio synthetic enzyme using a recombinant DNA technique or by mutating a bacterial strain to impart L-amino acid-producing ability. For example, one or more mutations have been introduced by treating a strain with a mutagen such as N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine.
- this method sometimes causes problems such as a mutation is introduced into genes other than the target gene, for example, a gene important for growth, thus the mutated strain becomes auxotrophic to some nutrients.
- the target enzyme in the L-amino acid biosynthetic pathway when enhancing the activity of the target enzyme in the L-amino acid biosynthetic pathway, only some metabolic pathways are activated, which can result in an energy imbalance and a lack of nutritional substances such as L-amino acids other than the target L-amino acid. In this case, it is necessary to perform the fermentation in a medium supplemented with a nutrient required by the auxotrophic strain. However, this can cause the problem that these nutrients can remain as a contaminate during collection of the target L-amino acid from culture medium.
- Escherichia coli K12 strain is representative of a strain useful for breeding L-amino acid-producing bacteria.
- an L-amino acid-producing bacterium bred from an Escherichia coli K12 strain for example, a mutant strain with an altered metabolic activity and a strain modified so that the activity of an L-amino acid biosynthetic enzyme is enhanced by a recombinant DNA technique has been reported (US 6653111 or JP 3185261 B).
- the K12 strain is sensitive to L-valine, and its growth is suppressed in a medium containing L-valine.
- Escherichia coli contains acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS), which catalyzes the first step in the biosynthetic pathway of branched-chain L-amino acids.
- AHASI acetohydroxy acid synthase
- AHASIII acetohydroxy acid synthase
- the K12 strain has a frameshift mutation in the ilvG gene, which encodes a large subunit of the isozyme AHASII, so that the normal ilvG gene is not expressed (Proc. Natl. Acad.
- L-amino acid-producing bacterium derived from a K12 strain, which has been modified to have L-valine resistance or to reverse a frameshift mutation of the ilvG gene for the production of L-tryptophan, L-phenylalanine, L-lysine, L-tyrosine, L-glutamic acid, L-histidine, L-cysteine, and L-proline has never been reported.
- SN164/pGH5 strain a derivative strain of K12 strain, produces L-tryptophan more efficiently when a branched-chain L-amino acid is added into a culture medium. Furthermore, they found that an ability of the SN164/pGH5 strain to produce an L-amino acid other than a branched-chain L-amino acid, especially L-tryptophan is improved when L-valine resistance is imparted to the strain by restoring a frameshift mutation of ilvG gene, thereby accomplishing the present invention.
- Fig. 1 shows the effect of L-leucine and L-isoleucine on L-tryptophan accumulation by the SN164/pGH5 strain and the L-valine resistant strains.
- Fig. 2 shows the growth of the SN164/pGH5 strain and an
- microorganism of the present invention is a strain of Escherichia coli, which is obtainable by modifying the Escherichia coli K12 strain or a derivative thereof to be resistant to L-valine and to have an ability to produce one or more L-amino acids selected from the group consisting of L-tryptophan, L-phenylalanine, L-lysine, L-tyrosine, L-glutamic acid, L-histidine, L-cysteine, and L-proline.
- the L-amino acids to be produced are preferably aromatic L-amino acids, such as L-tryptophan, L-phenylalanine, and L-tyrosine.
- the Escherichia coli K12 strain was isolated at Stanford University in 1922 and is a lysogenic bacterium of ⁇ phage. In addition, it is a versatile strain having the F-factor, from which genetic recombinant strains can be constructed by conjugation, gene amplification, or the like. Furthermore, the genomic sequence of Escherichia coli K12 strain has been determined, and hence the gene information thereof is available (Science 277 (5331), 1453-1474 (1997)).
- the Escherichia coli K12 strain and derivatives thereof can be obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Address: P.O. Box 1549, Manassas, NA 20108, United States of America).
- a derivative of the K12 strain of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has the ilvG gene derived from the K12 strain, i.e., the ilvG gene which has the frameshift mutation described below. Examples thereof include the Escherichia coli MG1655 strain (ATCC No. 47076), W3110 strain (ATCC No. 27325), and SV164 strain (JP 3032013 B).
- the above-described K12 strain or a derivative thereof is modified to be resistant to L-valine.
- resistant to L-valine means that the strain has an ability to grow in a medium containing a high concentration of L-valine.
- high concentration means, for example, 20 mg/L or more, preferably 100 mg/L.
- Such a modification can be performed as follows: for example, Escherichia coli K12 strain or a derivative thereof is subjected to a mutation treatment, and a strain capable of growing in a medium containing a high concentration of L-valine is selected from the resulting mutant strains.
- the mutation treatment to obtain an L-valine-resistant strain is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include treating with ultraviolet radiation or treating with a mutagen typically used in such a mutation treatment, such as N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) or nitrous acid.
- NMG N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine
- a culture of a mutant strain that has been cultured in a liquid medium until the logarithmic growth phase or stationary phase is diluted with a fresh liquid medium, saline, etc., and the resulting bacterial cell suspension is applied to a solid medium containing L-valine, and is cultured at the optimum growth temperature, for example, at 37°C for 1 to 3 days. Then, the colonies which appear are selected as L-valine resistant strains.
- the amount of L-valine which is added to the medium is, for example, 20 mg/L or more, preferably about 100 mg/L.
- An example of a medium which can be used for selecting L-valine resistant strains includes a minimum medium.
- An example of a minimum medium containing L-valine includes a medium having the following composition: 4 g/L glucose, 12.8 g/L disodium hydrogen phosphate, 3 g/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1 g/L sodium chloride, 1 g/L ammonium chloride, 5 mM magnesium sulfate, 0.1 mM calcium chloride, 1 mg/L thiamine, and 20 mg/L L-valine.
- the minimum medium may contain a nutrient which is essential for growth, if necessary.
- the medium when L-valine resistance is imparted to an L-tryptophan-producing mutant strain, the medium preferably contains L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine in amounts necessary for growth, because most of the L-tryptophan-producing mutant strains have weakened biosynthetic pathways for L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine and are auxotrophic to L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine.
- L-valine resistance may be imparted by a gene recombination technique.
- a K12 strain or a derivative thereof may be imparted with L-valine resistance by a modification which enhances intracellular activity of an L-valine biosynthetic enzyme, e.g., acetohydroxy acid synthase, so that it is higher than that of unmodified K12 strain.
- an L-valine biosynthetic enzyme e.g., acetohydroxy acid synthase
- the activity of acetohydroxy acid synthase can be determined by the method described in Westerferd, W.W (1945) J. Biol. Chem, 161, 495-502. It is known that three isozymes, AHASI, AHASII, and AHASIII, of acetohydroxy acid synthase (acetolactate synthase) exist in Escherichia coli.
- AHASII consists of a large subunit and a small subunit, which are encoded by the ilvG and ilvM genes, respectively.
- nucleotides GT at positions 983 and 984 of the ilvG gene derived from other strains of Escherichia coli (for example, a gene having a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; hereinafter, referred to as normal ilvG gene) are deleted, so that a frameshift mutation occurs, and nucleotides TGA at positions 982 to 984 of SEQ ID NO: 1 serve as a translation termination codon. For this reason, the normal ilvG gene is not expressed, and the AHASII activity is eliminated in the K12 strain or a derivative thereof.
- the strain is preferably modified to produce active AHASII.
- the strain is preferably modified so that it harbors the ilvG gene which does not have the frameshift mutation (for example, a gene having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 or 5).
- a gene in which the TGA at position 982 to 984 of the ilvG gene of SEQ ID NO: 1 does not function as a translation termination codon is preferably introduced to reverse the frameshift mutation.
- an ilvG gene of the K12 strain may be replaced by the normal ilvG gene (SEQ ID NO: 3 or 5).
- GT is inserted between the T at position 982 and the G at position 983 in SEQ ID NO: 1.
- This insertion may be achieved by site-directed mutagenesis using PCR.
- the nucleotides at position 982 to 984 of SEQ ID NO: 1 may be replaced with the nucleotides at position 982-986 from the normal ilvG gene (SEQ ID NO: 3) by PI transduction.
- the full-length ilvG gene of the K12 strain may be replaced by the full-length normal ilvG gene.
- Introducing the ilvG gene which does not have a frameshift mutation may be achieved by deleting one or four nucleotides in the region upstream of positions 982 to 984 of the ilvG gene to make the TGA out of frame.
- the nucleotide C at position 979 may be deleted in SEQ ID NO: 1.
- Examples of such an ilvG gene include a gene having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5.
- modification of a K12 strain so as to produce active AHASII may be performed by increasing the copy number of the normal ilvG gene (SEQ ID NO: 3) using genetic recombination techniques.
- an ilvM gene which encodes the small subunit of AHASII (for example, GenBank Accession No. X04890; 2374-2637) is also preferably introduced.
- the normal ilvG and ilvM genes may be introduced separately, but they may also be introduced simultaneously as normal ilvGM genes (for example, GenBank Accession No. X04890; 731-2637).
- they may be introduced as the ilvGMEDA operon which contains a normal ilvG gene (for example, GenBank Accession No. X04890).
- a gene which can be used for increasing the copy number of the normal ilvG gene may be one which hybridizes with the aforementioned normal ilvG gene (SEQ ID NO: 3 or 5 ) under stringent conditions as long as it encodes a protein that exhibits AHAS activity by forming a complex with an ilvM gene product.
- Stringent conditions as used herein are conditions under which a so-called specific hybrid is formed, and a non-specific hybrid is not formed.
- Examples of stringent conditions include, those under which DNAs having high homology hybridize to each other, for example, DNAs having a homology of not less than 70%, preferably not less than 80%, more preferably not less than 90%, especially preferably not less than 95%, hybridize to each other, and DNAs having homology lower than 70% do not hybridize to each other, and those under which DNAs hybridize to each other at a salt concentration with washing typical of Southern hybridization, i.e., washing once or preferably 2-3 times with 1 x SSC, 0.1% SDS at 60°C, preferably 0.1 x SSC, 0.1% SDS at 60°C, more preferably 0.1 x SSC, 0.1% SDS at 68°C.
- transformation can be performed as follows: a DNA fragment containing a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 5 is inserted into a vector which is able to replicate in a K- 12 strain, preferably a multicopy vector, to thereby prepare a recombinant DNA.
- the recombinant DNA is then introduced into a K-12 strain.
- An example of a vector which is able to replicate in a K-12 strain includes a plasmid vector which is capable of autonomous replication in an Escherichia coli.
- Examples of a vector which is capable of autonomous replication in an Escherichia coli K-12 strain include pUC19, pUC18, pHSG299, pHSG399, pHSG398, pACYC184, (pHSG and pACYC are available from TAKARA BIO INC.), RSF1010, pBR322, and pMW219 (pMW is available from NIPPON GENETIC Co., Ltd.).
- Introducing a recombinant DNA which has been prepared as above into a K-12 strain or a derivative thereof may be performed by a known transformation method. Examples of transformation methods include treating recipient cells with calcium chloride so as to increase permeability of the DNA, which has been reported for Escherichia coli K-12 (Mandel, M.
- transformation of microorganisms can also be performed by the electric pulse method (JP2-207791A).
- the copy number of the normal ilvG can also be increased by integrating multiple copies of the normal ilvG gene into the chromosomal DNA of an Escherichia coli K12 strain.
- homologous recombination In order to integrate multiple copies of the gene into a chromosomal DNA of an Escherichia coli K12 strain, homologous recombination (Experiments in Molecular Genetics, Cold Spring Harbor Lab., 1972) can be carried out by targeting a sequence which exists in multiple copies on a chromosomal DNA. Repetitive DNA and inverted repeats at the end of a transposon can be used as a sequence which exists in multiple copies on a chromosomal DNA. Alternatively, as disclosed in EP0332488B, it is also possible to incorporate the normal ilvG gene into a transposon, and allow it to be transferred so that multiple copies of the gene are integrated into the the chromosomal DNA.
- the normal ilvG gene can also be incorporated into a host chromosome by using Mu phage (EP0332488B)
- Enhancing expression of the normal ilvG gene can also be attained by replacing an expression regulatory sequence such as a promoter of the gene on a chromosomal DNA or on a plasmid with a stronger one, as disclosed in WO00/18935.
- an expression regulatory sequence such as a promoter of the gene on a chromosomal DNA or on a plasmid
- lac promoter, trp promoter, trc promoter, pL promoter, and so forth are known as strong promoters.
- Substitution of the expression regulatory sequence can be performed, for example, in the same manner as a gene substitution using a temperature-sensitive plasmid.
- An example of a vector which has a temperature-sensitive replication origin for Escherichia coli includes plasmid pMAN997, which is described in WO99/03988, and so forth.
- substitution of an expression regulatory sequence can also be performed by using Red recombinase of ⁇ phage (Datsenko, K.A., PNAS, 97(12), 6640-6645, 2000). Modification of an expression regulatory sequence can be combined with increasing a copy number of the gene.
- the strain of the present invention is preferably a strain which shows improved growth substantially in the absence of branched-chain L-amino acids, when compared with a control strain (a parental strain including K12 strain), as a result of imparting L-valine resistance.
- branched-chain L-amino acids mean L-isoleucine, L-leucine, and L-valine.
- substantially in the absence of branched-chain L-amino acids means a concentration of branched-chain L-amino acids in a medium of 1 g/L or less, preferably 100 mg/L or less, more preferably 50 mg/L or less, particularly preferably 0. Evaluation of growth of the strain imparted with L-valine resistance and the control strain substantially in the absence of branched-chain L-amino acids may be performed in both a liquid and a solid medium.
- a culture medium in which the L-valine resistant strain or a control strain has been cultured until the logarithmic growth phase or stationary phase is diluted with a medium, saline or the like, and the resultant bacterial cell suspension is applied on a solid medium not containing branched-chain L-amino acids, and these strains are cultured at an optimum growth temperature, for example, at 37°C for 1 to 3 days. If the sizes of the emerging colonies of the L-valine resistant strains are larger than those of the control strain, it is considered that the growth of the L-valine resistant strain is better than that of the control strain.
- the amount of the branched-chain L-amino acids to be added to a solid medium is, for example, 50 mg/L or less, preferably 10 mg/L or less, more preferably 0.
- a bacterial cell suspension of an L-valine-resistant strain or a control strain that has been cultured and diluted as described above can be inoculated into a liquid medium substantially in the absence of branched-chain L-amino acids, and cultured at optimum growth temperature, for example, at 37°C for about several hours to 1 day, preferably for about 6 hours.
- the amount of a branched-chain L-amino acid to be added to the medium is, for example, 50 mg/L or less, more preferably 10 mg/L or less, preferably 0.
- optical density (OD) or turbidity of the L-valine-resistant strain is higher than that of the control strain at either the logarithmic growth phase or stationary phase, it is considered that the growth of the L-valine-resistant strain is better than that of the control strain. It is also considered that the growth of the L-valine-resistant strain is better if the strain reaches the logarithmic growth phase or the maximum value of OD earlier than the control strain.
- logarithmic growth phase refers to a stage when cell numbers logarithmically increase.
- stationary phase refers to the stage when no increase in cell number is observed because division and proliferation are stopped after the logarithmic growth phase.
