Definitions
- the present invention relates to a Corynebacterium glutamicum mutant having improved L-lysine-producing ability and a method for producing L-lysine using the same.
- L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that is not synthesized in humans or animals and must be supplied from the outside, and is generally produced by fermentation using microorganisms such as bacteria or yeast.
- L- lysine production may use a wild-type strain obtained in the natural state or a mutant strain modified to improve its L- lysine production ability.
- genetic recombination technology is applied to microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium, which are often used for the production of L-amino acids and other useful substances.
- Various recombinant strains or mutants and L-lysine production methods using the same are being developed. According to Korean Patent Nos. 10-0838038 and 10-2139806, L-lysine production ability can be improved by increasing the expression of genes of enzymes related to L-lysine production or removing unnecessary genes.
- L-lysine is an amino acid derived from aspartate, and the synthesis level of oxaloacetate, a precursor of aspartate, also affects the production of L-lysine.
- oxaloacetate it is produced in the glycolysis of microorganisms and is polymerized with acetyl CoA by citrate synthase to produce citrate. Therefore, it is expected that the production of L-lysine can also be controlled by controlling the expression level of citrate synthetase that converts oxaloacetate to citrate.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an improved L- lysine production ability Corynebacterium glutamicum ( Corynebacterium glutamicum ) mutant.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing L-lysine using the mutant.
- the present inventors studied to develop a new mutant with improved L-lysine production ability using a Corynebacterium glutamicum strain.
- the sequence of the gene encoding the citrate synthase to weaken the activity of the citrate synthase was completed by confirming that the L-lysine production increased when the initiation codon ATG was substituted with GTG or TTG.
- One aspect of the present invention provides a Corynebacterium glutamicum mutant with improved L-lysine production ability by weakening the activity of citrate synthetase.
- citrate synthase refers to an enzyme that acts on the TCA cycle and catalyzes the reaction of synthesizing citrate by polymerizing acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate produced in glycolysis. .
- the citrate synthetase may be derived from a genus strain of Corynebacterium .
- the Corynebacterium sp. strain is Corynebacterium glutamicum ( Corynebacterium glutamicum ), Corynebacterium crudilactis ( Corynebacterium crudilactis ), Corynebacterium deserti ( Corynebacterium deserti ), Corynebacterium Callunae ( Corynebacterium callunae ), Corynebacterium suranareeae ), Corynebacterium rubricantis ( Corynebacterium lubricantis ), Corynebacterium doosanense ( Corynebacterium doosanense ), Corynebacterium ipish Ens ( Corynebacterium efficiens ), Corynebacterium utereki ( Corynebacterium uterequi ), Corynebacterium glutamicum ,
- weakened activity means that the expression level of the gene as an object is reduced than the original expression level.
- the weakening of this activity is when the activity of the protein itself is reduced compared to the activity of the protein possessed by the original microorganism through nucleotide substitution, insertion, deletion, or a combination thereof, and inhibition of expression or translation inhibition of the gene encoding it As such, when the overall degree of enzymatic activity in the cell is low compared to the wild-type strain or the strain before modification, a combination thereof is also included.
- the weakening of the activity of the citrate synthase may be that the start codon of the gene encoding the citrate synthase is substituted with GTG.
- the weakening of the activity of the citrate synthase may be that the initiation codon of the gene encoding the citrate synthetase is substituted with TTG.
- the gene encoding the citrate synthetase may be represented by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.
- the gene encoding the citrate synthase may be represented by the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.

Description
본 발명은 L-라이신 생산능이 향상된 코리네박테리움 글루타미쿰 변이주 및 이를 이용한 L-라이신의 생산 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a Corynebacterium glutamicum mutant having improved L-lysine-producing ability and a method for producing L-lysine using the same.
L-라이신은 사람이나 동물 체내에서 합성되지 않는 필수아미노산으로서 외부에서 공급되어야 하며, 일반적으로 세균이나 효모와 같은 미생물을 이용한 발효에 의해 생산된다. L-라이신 생산은 자연상태에서 수득된 야생형 균주나 이의 L-라이신 생산능이 향상되도록 변형된 변이주를 이용할 수 있다. 최근에는 L-라이신의 생산 효율을 개선시키기 위해 L-아미노산 및 기타 유용물질 생산에 많이 이용되는 대장균, 코리네박테리움 등의 미생물을 대상으로 유전자 재조합 기술을 적용하여 우수한 L-라이신 생산능을 갖는 다양한 재조합 균주 또는 변이주 및 이를 이용한 L-라이신 생산 방법이 개발되고 있다. 한국등록특허 제10-0838038호 및 제10-2139806호에 따르면, L-라이신 생산과 관련된 효소의 유전자의 발현을 증가시키거나 불필요한 유전자를 제거함으로써 L-라이신 생산능이 향상될 수 있다.L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that is not synthesized in humans or animals and must be supplied from the outside, and is generally produced by fermentation using microorganisms such as bacteria or yeast. L- lysine production may use a wild-type strain obtained in the natural state or a mutant strain modified to improve its L- lysine production ability. Recently, in order to improve the production efficiency of L-lysine, genetic recombination technology is applied to microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium, which are often used for the production of L-amino acids and other useful substances. Various recombinant strains or mutants and L-lysine production methods using the same are being developed. According to Korean Patent Nos. 10-0838038 and 10-2139806, L-lysine production ability can be improved by increasing the expression of genes of enzymes related to L-lysine production or removing unnecessary genes.
L-라이신은 아스파테이트(aspartate) 유래 아미노산으로, 아스파테이트의 전구체인 옥살로아세테이트(oxaloacetate)의 합성 수준은 L-라이신의 생산에도 영향을 미친다. 옥살로아세테이트의 경우, 미생물의 해당과정(glycolysis)에서 생성되며 시트레이트 합성효소(citrate synthase)에 의해 아세틸 코에이(acetyl CoA)와 중합되어 시트레이트(citrate)로 생성된다. 따라서, 옥살로아세테이트를 시트레이트로 전환하는 시트레이트 합성효소의 발현 수준을 조절함으로써 L-라이신의 생산량 또한 조절할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.L-lysine is an amino acid derived from aspartate, and the synthesis level of oxaloacetate, a precursor of aspartate, also affects the production of L-lysine. In the case of oxaloacetate, it is produced in the glycolysis of microorganisms and is polymerized with acetyl CoA by citrate synthase to produce citrate. Therefore, it is expected that the production of L-lysine can also be controlled by controlling the expression level of citrate synthetase that converts oxaloacetate to citrate.

상기 pCGI(gltA-A1G) 벡터를 이용하여 변이 균주인 DS1 균주를 제조하였다. 상기 벡터의 최종 농도가 1 ㎍/㎕ 이상 되도록 준비하여 코리네박테리움 글루타미쿰 ATCC 13032에 전기천공법 (문헌 [Tauch et al., FEMS Microbiology letters 123 (1994) 343-347] 참조)을 사용하여 1차 재조합을 유도하였다. 이때, 전기 천공한 균주를 카나마이신이 20 ㎍/㎕ 포함되는 CM-한천 플레이트에 도말하여 콜로니를 분리한 후 게놈상의 유도한 위치에 적절히 삽입되었는지 PCR 및 염기서열 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 이렇게 분리된 균주를 다시 2차 재조합을 유도하기 위하여 스트렙토마이신(streptomycine)을 함유한 CM-한천 액체배지에 접종하고, 하룻밤 이상 배양하여 동일 농도의 스트렙토마이신을 함유한 한천배지에 도말하여 콜로니를 분리하였다. 최종 분리한 콜로니 중에서 카나마이신에 대한 내성 여부를 확인한 후, 항생제 내성이 없는 균주들 중 gltA 유전자에 변이가 도입되었는지 염기서열 분석을 통해 확인하였다 (문헌 [Schafer et al., Gene 145 (1994) 69-73] 참조). 최종적으로 변이 gltA 유전자가 도입된 코리네박테리움 글루타미쿰 변이주 (DS1)를 획득하였다.A mutant strain DS1 was prepared using the pCGI (gltA-A1G) vector. Electroporation method for Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 (see Tauch et al., FEMS Microbiology letters 123 (1994) 343-347) was used to prepare the final concentration of the vector to be 1 μg/μl or more. to induce primary recombination. At this time, the electroporated strain was plated on a CM-agar plate containing 20 μg/μl of kanamycin to isolate colonies, and it was confirmed through PCR and sequencing analysis whether it was properly inserted into the induced position on the genome. In order to induce secondary recombination of the thus-separated strain again, it was inoculated on a CM-agar liquid medium containing streptomycin, cultured overnight or more, and spread on an agar medium containing the same concentration of streptomycin to isolate colonies. did After confirming the resistance to kanamycin among the finally isolated colonies, it was confirmed through nucleotide sequence analysis whether a mutation was introduced into the gltA gene among strains without antibiotic resistance (Schafer et al., Gene 145 (1994) 69- 73]). Finally, a Corynebacterium glutamicum mutant strain (DS1) into which the mutated gltA gene was introduced was obtained.
