- the transformant according to the present invention has a chromosome in which a part of the gene group encoding the pyruvate decarboxylase is deleted or inactivated. Since a part of the PDC gene group of the transformant is deleted or inactivated, the efficiency of ethanol fermentation of the transformant is reduced, and the amount of pyruvic acid converted to ethanol is reduced. The productivity of C4 dicarboxylic acid including the first is improved. However, if the PDC gene group is completely deleted or inactivated, ethanol fermentation cannot be performed at all and growth is inhibited. Therefore, deletion or inactivation is a part of the PDC gene group.

- a known method can be used. For example, mutation isolation method using a mutation agent (Yeast Molecular Genetics Experimental Method, 1996, Society Press Center) and random mutation method using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) (Volume 2 of PCR Methods Application, 28-33 pages, 1992).
- the PDC gene into which a mutation has been partially introduced may express a temperature-sensitive mutant pyruvate decarboxylase.
- a temperature-sensitive mutant pyruvate decarboxylase is an enzyme that exhibits the same activity as wild-type pyruvate decarboxylase at a certain culture temperature, but loses or decreases its activity at a specific culture temperature or higher. It is.
- Mutant strains expressing mutant pyruvate decarboxylase show the same growth rate as wild-type yeast under conditions where activity is not limited by temperature, and the growth rate is significantly higher under specific temperature conditions where activity is limited. It is obtained by selecting the one that decreases.
- the mae2 gene into which a mutation has been partially introduced may express a temperature-sensitive mutant mae2.
- deletion or inactivation of a gene does not mean only the deletion or inactivation of a structural gene. If the structural gene is deleted, of course, even if the protein encodes a protein, or if the protein is not an active enzyme even if the protein is expressed, it means that the gene is inactivated To do.
- the gene of the structural region of the gene does not express a protein in the structural region of the gene even if the structural region of the gene encodes an active enzyme, the gene encoding the regulatory region is deleted or its sequence is mutated. Means “deleted or inactivated”. Therefore, the PDC gene or mae2 gene to be deleted or inactivated may be either the structural region or the regulatory region of the PDC gene or mae2 gene, or both.

前記ホスホエノールピルビン酸カルボキシキナーゼ遺伝子が、配列番号94~113のいずれかで表されるアミノ酸配列からなるポリペプチド、配列番号94~113のいずれかで表されるアミノ酸配列の1もしくは数個のアミノ酸が置換、付加、もしくは欠失したアミノ酸配列からなり、かつホスホエノールピルビン酸カルボキシキナーゼ活性を有するポリペプチド、または配列番号94~113のいずれかで表されるアミノ酸配列と80%以上の配列同一性を有するアミノ酸配列からなり、かつホスホエノールピルビン酸カルボキシキナーゼ活性を有するポリペプチドをコードしており、
前記ピルビン酸カルボキシラーゼ遺伝子が、配列番号1~16のいずれかで表されるアミノ酸配列からなるポリペプチド、配列番号1~16のいずれかで表されるアミノ酸配列の1もしくは数個のアミノ酸が置換、付加、もしくは欠失したアミノ酸配列からなり、かつピルビン酸カルボキシラーゼ活性を有するポリペプチド、または配列番号1~16のいずれかで表されるアミノ酸配列と80%以上の配列同一性を有するアミノ酸配列からなり、かつピルビン酸カルボキシラーゼ活性を有するポリペプチドをコードしており、
欠失または失活しているピルビン酸脱炭酸酵素をコードする遺伝子がpdc2遺伝子であることを特徴とする。
前記形質転換体は、本発明に係る形質転換体の製造方法により簡便に得られる。
また、本発明に係るC4ジカルボン酸の製造方法は、微生物発酵により高い生産性でC4ジカルボン酸を製造できる。
本発明に係る形質転換体は、シゾサッカロミセス・ポンベを宿主とし、ホスホエノールピルビン酸カルボキシキナーゼ(PCK)遺伝子およびピルビン酸カルボキシラーゼ(PYC)遺伝子からなる群より選択される1以上の外来遺伝子が組み込まれており、かつ、前記シゾサッカロミセス・ポンベ宿主のピルビン酸脱炭酸酵素をコードする遺伝子群の一部が欠失または失活している形質転換体である。
宿主であるS.ポンベは、シゾサッカロミセス属に属する酵母(分裂酵母)であり、他の酵母に比べて特に耐酸性に優れる微生物である。また、S.ポンベは元々mae1(C4ジカルボン酸トランスポーター)遺伝子を有しているため、菌体内におけるC4ジカルボン酸の生産量を増大させた場合にも、過剰量のC4ジカルボン酸による菌体の生育等への影響を抑えられる。このため、S.ポンベは、サッカロミセス・セレビシエ等のMae1遺伝子を有していない他の酵母よりも、C4ジカルボン酸産生に適している。
S.ポンベにおけるピルビン酸脱炭酸酵素をコードする遺伝子(ピルビン酸脱炭酸酵素遺伝子、以下「PDC遺伝子」ともいう。)群には、ピルビン酸脱炭酸酵素1をコードする遺伝子(以下、「PDC1遺伝子」という。)、ピルビン酸脱炭酸酵素2をコードする遺伝子(以下、「PDC2遺伝子」という。)、ピルビン酸脱炭酸酵素3をコードする遺伝子(以下、「PDC3遺伝子」という。)、ピルビン酸脱炭酸酵素4をコードする遺伝子(以下、「PDC4遺伝子」という。)の4種類がある。なかでも、S.ポンベにおいては、PDC2遺伝子とPDC4遺伝子が主要な機能を持つPDC遺伝子である。
PDC1遺伝子(pdc1);SPAC13A11.06
PDC2遺伝子(pdc2);SPAC1F8.07c
PDC3遺伝子(pdc3);SPAC186.09
PDC4遺伝子(pdc4);SPAC3G9.11c
前記PDC遺伝子の配列データは、前記S.ポンベ遺伝子データベースから遺伝子名や系統名で検索して入手できる。
S.ポンベにおけるリンゴ酸酵素をコードする遺伝子(リンゴ酸酵素遺伝子、以下「mae遺伝子」ともいう。)は、リンゴ酸酵素2をコードする遺伝子(以下、「mae2遺伝子」という。)である。mae2遺伝子の系統名は以下の通りである。
mae2遺伝子(mae2);SPCC794.12c
PDC遺伝子およびmae2遺伝子の欠失や失活は、公知の方法で行える。たとえば、Latour法(Nucleic Acids Research誌、2006年、34巻、e11頁、国際公開第2007/063919号等に記載)を用いることによりPDC遺伝子等を欠失させられる。
たとえば、変異剤を用いた突然変異分離法(酵母分子遺伝学実験法、1996年、学会出版センター)や、PCR(ポリメラーゼ連鎖反応)を利用したランダム変異法(PCR Methods Application誌、第2巻、28-33ページ、1992年)等が挙げられる。
同様に、一部に変異が導入されたmae2遺伝子は、温度感受性の変異型mae2を発現するものであってもよい。
本発明に係る形質転換体に外来遺伝子として導入されるPYC遺伝子としては、S.ポンベに導入した場合にPYC活性を発揮するタンパク質を発現させ得る構造遺伝子であればよく、いずれの生物種由来のPYC遺伝子であってもよい。
また、本発明および本願明細書中、「数個のアミノ酸」とは、2~20個のアミノ酸を意味し、2~10個のアミノ酸が好ましい。
本発明に係る形質転換体に外来遺伝子として導入されるMDH遺伝子としては、S.ポンベに導入した場合にMDH活性を発揮するタンパク質を発現させ得る構造遺伝子であればよく、いずれの生物種由来のMDH遺伝子であってもよい。
本発明に係る形質転換体に外来遺伝子として導入されるPCK遺伝子としては、S.ポンベに導入した場合にPCK活性を発揮するタンパク質を発現させ得る構造遺伝子であればよく、いずれの生物種由来のPCK遺伝子であってもよい。
本発明に係る形質転換体は、PDC遺伝子群の一部が欠失または失活したS.ポンベを宿主とし、これにPCK遺伝子およびPYC遺伝子の少なくとも一方の外来遺伝子を遺伝子工学的方法で該宿主に導入することにより得られる。また、宿主とするS.ポンベに、PCK遺伝子およびPYC遺伝子の少なくとも一方の外来遺伝子を遺伝子工学的方法で導入した形質転換体のPDC遺伝子群の一部を欠失または失活させて、本発明に係る形質転換体を得ることもできる。
宿主とするS.ポンベは、野生型であってもよく、用途に応じて特定の遺伝子を欠失または失活させた変異型であってもよい。特定の遺伝子を欠失または失活させる方法としては、公知の方法を用いることができる。具体的には、前記Latour法を用いることにより遺伝子を欠失させられる。
遺伝子工学的方法で宿主に外来遺伝子を導入する方法としては、公知の方法を使用できる。S.ポンベを宿主としてこれに異種蛋白質の構造遺伝子を導入する方法としては、たとえば、日本国特開平5-15380号公報、国際公開第95/09914号、日本国特開平10-234375号公報、日本国特開2000-262284号公報、日本国特開2005-198612号公報、国際公開第2011/021629号などに記載の方法を使用できる。
発現カセットとは、目的の蛋白質を発現するために必要なDNAの組み合わせであり、目的の蛋白質をコードする構造遺伝子と宿主内で機能するプロモーターとターミネーターを含む。本発明に係る形質転換体の製造において用いられる発現カセットは、PYC遺伝子およびMDH遺伝子のいずれか一方と、S.ポンベ内で機能するプロモーターとS.ポンベ内で機能するターミネーターとを含む。
ターミネーターとしては、たとえば、日本国特開平5-15380号公報、日本国特開平7-163373号公報、日本国特開平10-234375号公報に記載されているヒト由来のターミネーターが挙げられ、ヒトリポコルチンIのターミネーターが好ましい。
本発明に係る形質転換体は、外来遺伝子を含む発現カセットを、染色体中に有するか、または染色体外遺伝子として有する。発現カセットを染色体中に有するとは、宿主細胞の染色体中の1カ所以上に発現カセットが組み込まれていることであり、染色体外遺伝子として有するとは、発現カセットを含むプラスミドを細胞内に有するということである。各発現カセットを含む形質転換体は、各発現カセットを含むベクターを用いて宿主であるS.ポンベを形質転換することにより得られる。
この場合、相同組換えに用いる際のプラスミドベクターは、大腸菌内での複製のために必要な「ori」と呼ばれる複製開始領域が除去されていることが好ましい。これにより、上述したベクターを染色体に組み込む際に、その組み込み効率を向上させられる。
ベクターを組み込む標的部位は、S.ポンベの染色体中の1箇所のみに存在していてもよく、2箇所以上に存在していてもよい。標的部位が2箇所以上存在している場合、S.ポンベの染色体の2箇所以上に該ベクターを組み込める。また、1の発現カセット中の外来遺伝子を複数とした場合には、標的部位の1箇所に複数の外来遺伝子を組み込める。
形質転換方法は、公知の形質転換方法がいずれも用いられる。該形質転換方法としては、たとえば、酢酸リチウム法、エレクトロポレーション法、スフェロプラスト法、ガラスビーズ法など従来周知の方法や、日本国特開2005-198612号公報記載の方法が挙げられる。また、市販の酵母形質転換用キットを用いてもよい。
本発明に係るC4ジカルボン酸の製造方法は、前記本発明に係る形質転換体を培養液中で培養し、該培養液からC4ジカルボン酸を取得するC4ジカルボン酸の製造方法である。
また、培養温度は、23~37℃であることが好ましい。また、培養時間は適宜決定できる。

削除断片の作製には、S.ポンベのARC032株(遺伝子型:h-)(国際公開第2007/015470号参照。)からDNeasy(キアゲン社製)によって調製した全ゲノムDNAを鋳型とし、表1に示す塩基配列を有する8種の合成オリゴDNA(オペロン社製)を使用した。

PCK遺伝子のみを導入した20種の形質転換体について、PCK発現量を確認した。具体的には、各形質転換体をそれぞれ、20mLのYPD6培地で44時間振とう培養した後、増殖させた菌体を集菌し、マルチビーズショッカーを用いて破砕した。得られた菌体破砕液をANTI-FLAG(登録商標) M1 Agarose Affinity Gel(Sigma社製)を用いて、プロトコールに従い精製した。精製した酵素液でSDS-PAGEを行い、検出されたバンドを画像解析装置LAS4000にて数値化し、相対発現量を算出した。各形質転換体について算出したPCK発現量(相対値)の結果を図12に示す。この結果、いずれもPCKの発現が確認された。

得られたサンプルについて、酵素電極法バイオセンサBF-7(王子計測機器社製)を用いてグルコース濃度とエタノール濃度を測定し、HPLCによりリンゴ酸濃度を測定した。HPLC測定では、高速液体クロマトグラフProminence(島津製作所製)を用い、カラムはAminex HPX―87H 300×7.8mm(Bio-RAD社製)を用い、インジェクション容量を10μLとし、溶媒に10mM H2SO4を用い、流速は0.6mL/minとし、測定時間は35分間とし、測定温度は60℃とし、検出にはダイオードアレイ検出(210nm)と示差屈折率検出を用いた。各濃度は、培養液または発酵液当たりの濃度である。結果を表53に示す。
PCKの導入による効果を確認するために、ASP5126株、ASP5087株、ASP5088株、およびASP5089株を用いて、リンゴ酸の発酵生産を行った。
リンゴ酸の発酵生産は例7と同様にして行った。結果を表54に示す。
PYCの導入による効果を確認するために、ASP5126株、ASP4964株、ASP5132株、およびASP5135株を用いて、リンゴ酸の発酵生産を行った。
リンゴ酸の発酵生産は例7と同様にして行った。結果を表55に示す。

リンゴ酸の発酵生産は例7と同様にして行った。結果を表56に示す。
導入した遺伝子のコピー数増加の効果を確認するために、ASP4964株およびASP5235株を用いて、リンゴ酸の発酵生産を行った。
リンゴ酸の発酵生産は例7と同様にして行った。結果を表57に示す。
無中和条件でのリンゴ酸の生産を確認するために、ASP4964株およびASP5235株を用いて、リンゴ酸の発酵生産を行った。
具体的には、例7と同じ方法で増やした菌体を、試験管内の3mLの発酵培地(100g/L グルコース)に36g乾燥菌体重量/Lとなるように加え、30℃、振とう条件で発酵させた。発酵液から適時サンプリングを行った。
得られたサンプルに対して例7と同様にして測定した。結果を表58に示す。この結果、どちらの株でも無中和条件下でのリンゴ酸の生産が確認された。ASP4964株の発酵経過1時間サンプルのpHは3.5であり、発酵経過2時間サンプルのpHは3.0であった。またASP5235株の発酵経過1時間サンプルのpHは3.0であり、発酵経過2時間サンプルのpHは2.8であった。
