本発明の方法に用いられる細菌(以下、本発明の細菌ともいう)は、L-システイン生産能を有し、かつ、亜硫酸還元に関与する遺伝子の発現が増大するように改変された、腸内細菌科に属する細菌である。
細菌のL-システイン生産能は、L-システインの生合成系を強化することにより付与又は増強することができる。「L-システインの生合成系を強化する」とは、例えば、L-システインの生合成に関与する酵素の活性を増強することをいう。L-システインの生合成に関与する酵素としては、L-システイン生合成経路の酵素、およびL-システイン生合成経路の基質となる化合物、例えばL-セリン、の生成に関与する酵素が挙げられ、具体的には、セリンアセチルトランスフェラーゼ(SAT)や3-ホスホグリセレートデヒドロゲナーゼ(PGD)が挙げられる。酵素活性の増強は、後述するように、目的の酵素をコードする遺伝子の発現を増強することや、目的の酵素の比活性を増強することにより達成できる。セリンアセチルトランスフェラーゼは、L-システインによるフィードバック阻害を受けるため、特に、このフィードバック阻害が低減又は解除された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遺伝子を細菌に保持させることによって、同酵素活性を増強することができる。また、3-ホスホグリセレートデヒドロゲナーゼは、セリンによるフィードバック阻害を受けるため、特に、このフィードバック阻害が低減又は解除された変異型3-ホスホグリセレートデヒドロゲナーゼをコードする変異型serA遺伝子を細菌に保持させることによって、同酵素活性を増強することができる。
本発明において、「酵素活性が増大する」とは、目的の酵素活性が野生株又は親株等の非改変株に対して増大していることを意味する。酵素活性は、非改変株と比較して増大していれば特に制限されないが、非改変株と比較して好ましくは1.5倍以上、より好ましくは2倍以上、さらに好ましくは3倍以上に増大する。また、「酵素活性が増大する」とは、もともと目的の酵素活性を有する菌株において同酵素活性を増大させることだけでなく、もともと目的の酵素活性が存在しない菌株に同酵素活性を付与することを含む。また、結果として目的の酵素活性が増大する限り、細菌が本来有する同酵素を弱化または欠損させた上で、好適な酵素を導入してもよい。
本発明において、「酵素の活性が低下する」とは、目的の酵素活性が野性株や親株等の非改変株と比較して減少していることを意味し、活性が完全に消失している場合を含む。酵素活性は、非改変株と比較して低下していれば特に制限されないが、例えば非改変株と比較して75%以下、50%以下、25%以下、又は10%以下に低下していることが好ましく、活性が完全に消失しているのが特に好ましい。なお、酵素によっては、活性を完全に消失させないのが好ましい場合もある。
本発明の細菌は、亜硫酸還元に関与する1またはそれ以上の遺伝子の発現が増大するように改変されている。本発明の細菌は、上述したようなL-システイン生産能を有する腸内細菌科に属する細菌を、亜硫酸還元に関与する遺伝子の発現が増大するように改変することによって得ることができる。また、本発明の細菌は、亜硫酸還元に関与する遺伝子の発現が増大するように改変を行った後に、L-システイン生産能を付与又は増強することによっても得ることができる。
上記のようにして得られる本発明の細菌を、チオ硫酸を含有する培地中で培養し、該培地からL-システイン、もしくはその関連物質、又はこれらの混合物を採取することにより、これらの化合物を製造することができる。L-システインの関連物質としては、先述したL-シスチン、S-スルホシステイン、チアゾリジン誘導体、同チアゾリジン誘導体に対応するヘミチオケタール、L-メチオニン、S-アデノシルメチオニン等が挙げられる。
(1)亜硫酸還元に関与する遺伝子の発現プラスミドの構築
亜硫酸還元に関与する遺伝子として、P. ananatis SC17株のcysG遺伝子、P. ananatis SC17株のcysGJI遺伝子、E. coli MG1655株のcysG遺伝子、およびE. coli MG1655株のcysGJI遺伝子を用いた。これらの遺伝子をそれぞれ発現ベクターにクローニングし、それぞれの遺伝子の発現プラスミドを構築した。手順を(1-1)~(1-7)に示す。
発現ベクターとしては、pMIV-5JS(特開2008-99668)を基に構築したpMIV-Pnlp23-terを用いた。当該ベクターは、強力なプロモーターであるnlp23プロモーター(Pnlp23)とrrnBターミネーターを有し、Pnlp23とrrnBターミネーターの間にはSalIとXbaI部位が存在する。目的の遺伝子をSalI(もしくはXhoI)とXbaIをデザインしたプライマーを用いて増幅し、Pnlp23とrrnBターミネーターの間に挿入することで、目的の遺伝子の発現プラスミドを構築することができる。なお、「Pnlp23」は、E.coli K12株由来の野生型nlpD遺伝子のプロモーターである「Pnlp0」を基に、発現強度を調節するために構築された変異型プロモーターである。
E. coli MG1655株(ATCC No.47076)の染色体DNAを鋳型として、プライマーSalI-cysG(Ec)Fw(ACGCGTCGACATGGATCATTTGCCTATATT:配列番号8)、プライマーXbaI-cysG(Ec)Rv(GCTCTAGATTAATGGTTGGAGAACCAGTTC:配列番号9)をプライマーとして用いたPCRによって、cysG遺伝子断片を増幅した。これらのプライマーの5'末端には制限酵素SalIとXbaIのサイトがデザインされている。PCRは、PrimeStarポリメラーゼ(TaKaRa社)を用い、プロトコールに記載の標準的な反応液組成で、(94℃ 5分の後、98℃ 5秒、55℃ 10秒、72℃ 2分を30サイクル、最後に4℃保温)のPCRサイクルで行った。得られた断片をSalI及びXbaIで処理し、同制限酵素で処理したpMIV-Pnlp23-terに挿入し、E. coli MG1655株のcysG遺伝子がクローニングされたプラスミドpMIV-Pnlp23-cysG(Ec)を取得した。
E. coli MG1655株の染色体DNAを鋳型として、プライマーSalI-cysJ(Ec)Fw(ACGCGTCGACATGACGACACAGGTCCCACC:配列番号10)、プライマーXbaI-cysI(Ec)Rv(GCTCTAGATTAATCCCACAAATCACGCGCC:配列番号11)をプライマーとして用いたPCRによって、cysJI遺伝子断片を増幅した。これらのプライマーの5'末端には制限酵素SalIとXbaIのサイトがデザインされている。PCRは、PrimeStarポリメラーゼ(TaKaRa社)を用い、プロトコールに記載の標準的な反応液組成で、(94℃ 5分の後、98℃ 5秒、55℃ 10秒、72℃ 2分を30サイクル、最後に4℃保温)のPCRサイクルで行った。得られた断片をSalI及びXbaIで処理し、同制限酵素で処理したMIV-Pnlp23-terに挿入し、E. coli MG1655株のcysJI遺伝子がクローニングされたプラスミドpMIV-Pnlp23-cysJI(Ec)を取得した。
MG1655株の染色体DNAを鋳型として、プライマーSalI-cysG(Ec)Fw(配列番号8)、cysG-JI(Ec)Rv(CAACGCGGAAGGTGGGACCTGTGTCGTCATGCGTCGTTATGTTCCAGTTTAATGGTTGGAGAACCAGTTCAGTTTATC:配列番号12)をプライマーとして用いてPCRを行った。PCRは、PrimeStarポリメラーゼ(TaKaRa社)を用い、プロトコールに記載の標準的な反応液組成で、(94℃ 5分の後、98℃ 5秒、55℃ 10秒、72℃ 2分を30サイクル、最後に4℃保温)のPCRサイクルで行った。このPCRにより、cysG遺伝子の下流にcysJ遺伝子の開始コドンを含む18 bpの配列が付加された遺伝子断片を取得した。得られた断片より塩、ポリメラーゼ、およびプライマーを除去したものを次のPCRのプライマーとして用いた。
P. ananatis SC17株(FERM BP-11091)の染色体DNAを鋳型として、プライマーCysG Fw(XhoI)(ACGCCTCGAGATGGATTATTTGCCTCTTTT:配列番号3)、プライマーCysG Rv(XbaI)(GCTCTAGATCAAGCCAGATTGACAACGG:配列番号4)をプライマーとして用いたPCRによって、cysG遺伝子断片を増幅した。PCRは、PrimeStarポリメラーゼ(TaKaRa社)を用い、プロトコールに記載の標準的な反応液組成で、PCRサイクル(94℃ 5分の後、98℃ 5秒、55℃ 10秒、72℃ 2分を30サイクル、最後に4℃保温)のPCRサイクルで行った。P. ananatisの染色体DNA上のcysG遺伝子の開始コドンはGTGであるが、プライマーの開始コドン付着部の配列をGTGからATGに換えることにより、PCRによって得られたDNA断片に含まれるcysG遺伝子の開始コドンをATGに改変した。また、これらのプライマーの5'末端には、XhoIとXbaIサイトがそれぞれデザインされている。P. ananatisのcysG遺伝子のORF内には、SalIの制限酵素サイトが存在するため、SalIの代用としてXhoIを用いた。得られた断片をXhoI及びXbaIで処理し、SalI及びXbaIで処理したpMIV-Pnlp8-YeaS7に挿入し、P. ananatis SC17株のcysG遺伝子がクローニングされたプラスミドpMIV-Pnlp8-cysG(Pa)を取得した。pMIV-Pnlp8-cysG(Pa)は、pMIV-Pnlp8-YeaS7上のyeaS遺伝子断片がP. ananatis SC17株のcysG遺伝子断片に置換された構造を有する。
P. ananatis SC17株の染色体DNAを鋳型として、プライマーCysJ Fw(SalI)(ACGCGTCGACATGACGACTCAGGCACCAGG:配列番号5)、プライマーCysI Rv(XbaI)(GCTCTAGATCATTTTGCCTCCTGCCAGA:配列番号6)をプライマーとして用いたPCRによって、cysJI遺伝子断片を増幅した。これらのプライマーの5'末端には制限酵素SalIとXbaIのサイトがデザインされている。PCRは、PrimeStarポリメラーゼ(TaKaRa社)を用い、プロトコールに記載の標準的な反応液組成で、(94℃ 5分の後、98℃ 5秒、55℃ 10秒、72℃ 2分を30サイクル、最後に4℃保温)のPCRサイクルで行った。得られた断片をSalI及びXbaIで処理し、同制限酵素で処理したpMIV-Pnlp23-terに挿入し、P. ananatis SC17株のcysJI遺伝子がクローニングされたプラスミドpMIV-Pnlp23-cysJI(Pa)を取得した。
P. ananatis SC17株の染色体DNAを鋳型として、プライマーCysG Fw(XhoI)(配列番号3)、プライマーCysG-JI Rv(CTGGTGCCTGAGTCGTCATCGTTTTTCCTCTCAAGCCAGATTGACAACGGCGGACTCGCG:配列番号7)をプライマーとして用いてPCRを行った。PCRは、PrimeStarポリメラーゼ(TaKaRa社)を用い、プロトコールに記載の標準的な反応液組成で、(94℃ 5分の後、98℃ 5秒、55℃ 10秒、72℃ 2分を30サイクル、最後に4℃保温)のPCRサイクルで行った。このPCRにより、cysG遺伝子の下流にcysJ遺伝子の開始コドンを含む11 bpの配列が付加された遺伝子断片を取得した。得られた断片より塩、ポリメラーゼ、およびプライマーを除去したものを次のPCRのプライマーとして用いた。
E. coliシステイン生産菌として、ydeD遺伝子、cysEX遺伝子、およびserA5遺伝子を有するプラスミドpACYC-DESを保持し、cysM遺伝子が染色体に導入されたMG1655int-4M/pACYC-DES株を構築した。構築手順を(2-1)~(2-2)に示す。
ydeD遺伝子、cysEX遺伝子、およびserA5遺伝子をプラスミドpACYC184にクローニングし、プラスミドpACYC-DESを構築した。ydeD遺伝子は、システイン経路の代謝産物の排出に関与する膜貫通型タンパク質をコードする遺伝子であり、システイン産生に有用であることが報告されている(米国特許第5,972,663号)。cysEX遺伝子は、cysEの変異型遺伝子であり、システインによるフィードバック阻害が解除された変異型セリンアセチルトランスフェラーゼ(SAT)をコードする(米国特許第6,218,168号)。serA5遺伝子は、serAの変異型遺伝子であり、エシェリヒア・コリ由来の野生型3-ホスホグリセレートデヒドロゲナーゼのC末端のチロシン残基を欠損し、L-セリンによるフィードバック阻害が解除された変異型3-ホスホグリセレートデヒドロゲナーゼ(PGD)をコードする(米国特許第6,180,373号)。構築手順を以下に示す。
E. coli MG1655株の染色体に、O-アセチル-L-セリン-スルフヒドリラーゼ-B(cysM)遺伝子を導入し、MG1655int-4M株を構築した。さらに、MG1655int-4M株にプラスミドpACYC-DESを導入して、MG1655int-4M/pACYC-DES株を構築した。なお、E. coli MG1655株に導入するcysM遺伝子の発現には、P. ananatis SC17株由来の野生型nlpD遺伝子のプロモーターである「Pnlp4」を用いた。構築手順を以下に示す。
