Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel variant of transport protein and a method for producing L-aromatic amino acids using the same.
- Aromatic amino acids include phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, and phenylalanine and tryptophan are essential amino acids that are not synthesized in vivo and correspond to high value-added industries that form a market worth $300 billion annually worldwide.
- a wild-type strain obtained in nature or a mutant strain modified to improve its amino acid production ability may be used.

Description
본 발명은 수송단백질 신규 변이체 및 이를 이용한 L-방향족 아미노산 생산 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a novel variant of transport protein and a method for producing L-aromatic amino acids using the same.
아미노산은 곁사슬의 성질에 따라 소수성, 친수성, 염기성 및 산성 아미노산으로 구분되며, 이들 중 벤젠 고리를 갖는 아미노산을 방향족 아미노산이라 한다. 방향족 아미노산에는 페닐알라닌, 티로신 및 트립토판이 있으며, 페닐알라닌과 트립토판은 생체 내에서 합성되지 않는 필수 아미노산으로 전세계적으로 연간 3000억 달러 규모의 시장을 형성하고 있는 고부가가치 산업에 해당한다.Amino acids are classified into hydrophobic, hydrophilic, basic and acidic amino acids according to the nature of their side chains, and among them, amino acids having a benzene ring are called aromatic amino acids. Aromatic amino acids include phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, and phenylalanine and tryptophan are essential amino acids that are not synthesized in vivo and correspond to high value-added industries that form a market worth $300 billion annually worldwide.
방향족 아미노산의 생산은 자연상태에서 수득된 야생형 균주나 이의 아미노산 생산능이 향상되도록 변형된 변이주를 이용할 수 있다. 최근에는 방향족 아미노산의 생산 효율을 개선시키기 위해 L-아미노산과 같은 유용물질 생산에 많이 이용되는 대장균, 코리네박테리움 등의 미생물을 대상으로 유전자 재조합 기술을 적용하여 우수한 L-방향족 아미노산 생산능을 갖는 다양한 재조합 균주 또는 변이주 및 이를 이용한 L-방향족 아미노산 생산 방법이 개발되고 있다. 특히 L-방향족 아미노산의 생합성 경로에 관여하는 효소, 전사인자, 수송 단백질 등의 유전자를 대상으로 하거나, 또는 이들의 발현을 조절하는 프로모터에 변이를 유도하여 해당 아미노산의 생산량을 증대시키려는 시도가 있었다. 그러나 L-방향족 아미노산 생산에 직간접적으로 연관된 효소, 전사인자, 수송 단백질 등 단백질의 종류가 수십여 종에 이르기 때문에 이러한 단백질의 활성 변화에 따른 L-방향족 아미노산 생산능 증가 여부에 관해 여전히 많은 연구가 필요한 실정이다.For the production of aromatic amino acids, a wild-type strain obtained in nature or a mutant strain modified to improve its amino acid production ability may be used. Recently, in order to improve the production efficiency of aromatic amino acids, genetic recombination technology is applied to microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium, which are widely used in the production of useful substances such as L-amino acids, to produce excellent L-aromatic amino acids. Various recombinant strains or mutant strains and L-aromatic amino acid production methods using the same are being developed. In particular, attempts have been made to increase the production of the amino acid by targeting genes involved in the biosynthetic pathway of L-aromatic amino acids, such as enzymes, transcription factors, and transport proteins, or by inducing mutations in promoters that control their expression. However, since there are dozens of types of proteins such as enzymes, transcription factors, and transport proteins directly or indirectly related to L-aromatic amino acid production, there are still many studies on whether the L-aromatic amino acid production ability increases due to changes in the activity of these proteins. It is necessary.
