After collecting the cultured cells with Miracloth, the cells were dehydrated by pressing with a spatula, put into a mortar that had been cooled to -20 ° C in advance, and then poured into liquid nitrogen and frozen. After rapidly crushing with a pestle until powdery, genomic DNA was extracted using DNeasy Plant Maxi Kit.
- Genomic analysis was performed using two types of next-generation sequencers (5500xl SOLiD (life technologies) and MiSeq (illumina)). Libraries were created from the prepared A. alternata genomic DNA using 5500 SOLiD Mate-Paired Library Kit (for 5500xl SOLiD) and Nextera DNA Sample Prep Kit (for MiSeq), and genome analysis was performed using the next-generation sequencer.

Went. Specifically, first, the whole NRPS gene of A. alternata was searched by homology search with NRPS of Cochliobolus heterostrophus, which is a related filamentous fungus. In C.
- NPS1-12 12 NRPS genes NPS1-12 have been found (Lee, BN, et al., Functional analysis of all nonribosomal peptide synthetases in Cochliobolus heterostrophus reveals a factor, NPS6, involved in virulence to oxidative stress. Eukaryot Cell, 2005. 4 (3): p. 545-55.).

Therefore, NRPS that biosynthesizes a dihydrotentoxin consisting of 4 amino acids is considered to have 4 modules, that is, 4 A domains. Therefore, when the number of A domains of eight putative NRPS genes of A. alternata was examined, two putative NRPS genes each had four A domains.

〔実施例1〕
<Alternaria alternataのゲノム解析>
A. alternata の分生子を200 ml CM液体培地(500ml 三角フラスコ)に植菌し、26℃、130rpmで48時間培養した。培養菌体をミラクロスで集菌した後、スパーテルで菌体をプレスして脱水し、予め-20℃に冷却しておいた乳鉢に菌体を入れ、液体窒素を注いで凍結させた。粉状になるまで乳棒で素早く破砕した後、DNeasy Plant Maxi Kitを用いてゲノムDNAを抽出した。
<A. alternataが有するNRPS遺伝子の探索>
次世代シークエンサーを用いたゲノム解析の結果から推定タンパク質のアミノ酸配列をデータベース化した。そして、当該データベースを用いてジヒドロテントキシン合成能を有するNRPSを検索した。
<ジヒドロテントキシン生合成に関与するNRPSの推定>
上述のように、A. alternataが8個の推定NRPS遺伝子を有していると考えられたことから、この中からジヒドロテントキシンの基本ペプチド骨格を生合成している遺伝子の探索を行った。なお、テントキシンはジヒドロテントキシンを前駆体として生合成されることが明らかになっている(Liebermann, B. and W. Ihn, Dihydrotentoxin: a precursor of tentoxin or its degradation product? Journal of basic microbiology, 1988. 28(1-2): p. 63-70.)。
<ジヒドロテントキシンをテントキシンに変換する酵素の推定>
テントキシンは、ジヒドロテントキシンを構成するフェニルアラニン残基の側鎖部分が酸化された構造を有する。したがって、テントキシンの生合成には、推定したNRPS遺伝子(tenA)と、酸化酵素とが関与していると考えられた。一般的に、二次代謝産物の生合成に関わる遺伝子は、ゲノム上に群(クラスター)を形成して配置されていることから、この酸化酵素遺伝子はtenA遺伝子の近傍に存在している可能性が高いと推測された。そこで、A. alternataゲノム上のtenA周辺に存在する遺伝子の機能を調べたところ、tenA遺伝子の上流に隣接して存在し、ent-kaurene oxidaseとアノテーションされた遺伝子を見出した。この遺伝子は、酸化酵素であるシトクロムP450(CYP512Aに相同性)をコードしていることが解った。よって、これがジヒドロテントキシンをテントキシンに変換する反応を触媒している可能性が考えられた。この遺伝子をP450遺伝子と命名した。
<tenA及びP450遺伝子によるテントキシン生産>
以上のように、ジヒドロテントキシン合成能を有するNRPSをコードする遺伝子として推定したtenA遺伝子と、ジヒドロテントキシンをテントキシンに変換する酵素をコードする遺伝子として推定したP450遺伝子とを用いて、テントキシンの生合成を試みた。
<テントキシン及びジヒドロテントキシンの生産確認>
空ベクター導入株、tenA単独導入株、P450単独導入株、tenA/P450共導入株の分生子を5% glucoseまたは5% maltoseを炭素源とするCM培地30ml(100mlバッフル付三角フラスコ)に植菌し、30℃、130rpmで10日間培養を行った。菌体内及び培養上清中の代謝物はまとめてアセトン及び酢酸エチルにより抽出した後、LC/MS分析に供した。

本実施例では、実施例1で同定したNRPS遺伝子を異種発現させたときのジヒドロテントキシシンの生産量を、Cochliobolus miyabeanus由来のNRPS遺伝子(CmNps3)を異種発現させたときの同生産量と比較した。
C. clavataにおけるCcNRPS遺伝子の上流側約1,010bpのプロモーター領域をL-arm、CcNRPS遺伝子の5’末端から4860番目の塩基を起点に995bpの領域をR-armとし両遺伝子断片をC. clavataのゲノムDNAを鋳型にしたPCRにより得た。また、目的の遺伝子(tenA遺伝子又はCmNps3遺伝子)を制御するためのC. clavata由来の355bpのターミネーター領域及び形質転換体の選抜マーカーとなるpyrG遺伝子を同ゲノムDNAを鋳型としたPCRにより得た。続いてIn-Fusion Cloning Kit (Clontech社製)を用いて、上記PCRで増幅したL-arm、ターミネーター配列、pyrG遺伝子、R-armをこの順に連結させた遺伝子断片をpUC19に挿入し、各遺伝子破壊コンストラクトを作製した。なお、L-armとターミネーター配列の間には、遺伝子の挿入のための制限酵素Swa I及びNot I認識配列を設計した(図6)。

実施例1で作製した麹菌へのtenA導入用に構築したコンストラクトを制限酵素Not Iで処理してtenA遺伝子を切り出し、上記で作製した遺伝子導入用ベクターのNot Iサイトにライゲーションにより挿入した。これにより、図7Aに示したtenA高発現コンストラクトを構築した。
<CmNps3高発現コンストラクトの構築>
独立行政法人 製品評価技術基盤機構(Nite)より購入したC. miyabeanus(NBRC No. 100216)の分生子懸濁液をPD培地に植菌し、26℃、140rpmで4日間培養した。培養菌体をミラクロスで集菌した後、スパーテルで菌体をプレスして脱水し、予め-20℃に冷却しておいた乳鉢に菌体を入れ、液体窒素を注いで凍結させた。粉状になるまで乳棒で素早く破砕した後、DNeasy Plant Maxi Kitを用いてゲノムDNAを抽出した。抽出したゲノムDNAを鋳型に5’末端に制限酵素Not I認識配列を付加したプライマーを用いてCmNps3遺伝子をPCR増幅し、In-Fusion Cloning Kitを用いてpUC19に挿入した。挿入配列のシークエンスを解析したところ、論文にて開示されたCmNps3遺伝子の塩基配列と異なる塩基が複数箇所見出された。そこで、In-Fusion反応を活用してこれらの塩基に変異を導入し、論文にて開示された塩基配列と一致するように改変した。改変したCmNps3遺伝子のコーディング領域の塩基配列を配列番号33に示し、コードされるタンパク質のアミノ酸配列を配列番号34に示した。すなわち、配列番号33及び34の配列は、上記文献(De Bruyne, L., et al.)に記載されたCmNps3に関する配列である。
・CmNps3増幅用
CmNps3(NotI)_FW:

・PCR条件
PCRには、KOD FX Neo (東洋紡社製)を使用した。温度条件は、初期変性:94℃で2minとし、変性:98℃で10sec、伸長:74℃で8minを1サイクルとして5サイクル行った後、変性:98℃で10sec、伸長:72℃で8minを1サイクルとして5サイクル行った後、変性:98℃で10sec、伸長:70℃で8minを1サイクルとして5サイクル行った後、変性:98℃で10sec、伸長:68℃で8minを1サイクルとして5サイクル行い、最終伸長:68℃で5minの条件とした。

100mlのCM+5mM uridine+5mM uracil培地(300ml三角フラスコ)にC. clavata pyrG遺伝子破壊株の胞子懸濁液を植菌し、30℃で40時間振盪培養した後、ガラスろ過器(11G1)を用いたろ過により菌糸を集め、滅菌水で洗浄後、スパーテル等で押さえて十分に水分を除いた。菌体を10mlのprotoplast化溶液[3mg/ml Yatalase、0.3mg/ml Lysing Enzymes from Trichoderma harzianum、0.8M NaCl、10mM sodium phosphate buffer(pH6.0)]に加え、懸濁し、30℃で3時間ゆるやかに振盪しprotoplast化を行った。ミラクロスでろ過し、ろ液を1,500xgで5分間遠心し、protoplastを集め、0.8M NaClで2回洗浄した。protoplastを2×108/mlとなるようにSolution 1[0.8M NaCl、10mM CaCl2、10mM Tris-HCl(pH8.0)]に懸濁し、0.2容量のSolution 2[40%(w/v)PEG4000、50mM CaCl2、50mM Tris-HCl(pH8.0)]を加えて緩やかに懸濁し、0.2mlのprotoplast懸濁液に制限酵素Sbf I消化により直鎖化したtenA高発現コンストラクト(図7A)又はCmNps3高発現コンストラクト(図7B)を5μg相当量を加え、氷中で10分間静置した。1mlのSolution 2を加え、緩やかに懸濁し、室温で15分間静置した。10mlのSolution 1を加えて緩やかに懸濁し、遠心でprotoplastを集め、上清をできるだけ除き、protoplastを1mlのSolution 1に懸濁した。CM+1.2M sucrose選択プレート5枚にprotoplast懸濁液を0.2mlずつのせ、6~7ml(90mm φ シャーレ当たり)のCM+1.2M sucrose軟寒天(1%)選択培地を加え、protoplastが均一になるようにすばやく重層し、26℃で6日間培養した。
<代謝物の分析>
上記で作製したtenA高発現株及びCmNps3高発現株の分生子懸濁液を30mlのCM培地に植菌し、26℃、140rpmで7日間振盪培養した。菌体内及び培養上清中の代謝物はまとめてアセトンおよび酢酸エチルにより抽出した後、LC/MS分析に供した。
