Description

0UIN0L GENE QXIDASE OF THE CYTOCHROME TYPE BD DE Brevibacterium Lactofermentun DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a quino oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of Brevibacterium lactofermentu and a DNA encoding the same. Most organisms acquire energy needed for life activity by breathing. In higher organisms, carbohydrates, proteins and aliphatic acids are degraded in acetyl-CoA by the glycolytic path and ß-oxidation in cytoplasm, and acetyl-CoA is degraded by the citric acid cycle in mitochondria. The resulting energy is saved as a reduction energy of NADH and FADH2. Finally, oxidized NADH is completely oxidized to water by the subsequent electron transport system that is present in the inner membranes of mitochondria, and a proton concentration gradient is formed in a form coupled to oxidation, and serves as a force of the synthesis of ATP. Since the bacterial respiratory chain generally comprises several functional enzyme complexes depending on the species and growth circumstance, the efficiency of energy conservation may vary to a greater degree. For example, Escherichia coli contains at least two quinol oxidase types, bo type and bd type, which function as terminal oxidases in the respiratory chain. When comparing a strain of the wild type that carries the enzymes of both types, a mutant strain carrying only the bo type, and a mutant strain carrying only the bd type are compared for the growth performance observed in aerobic culture, the field growth is lower in the mutant carrying only the bd-type enzyme, and depends on the type of terminal oxidases and their energy conservation efficiency (Lecture Abstract for the Conference of the Society for Bioscience and Bioengineering, Japan, 1995, Subject No. 357). Coryneform bacteria such as Brevibacterium lactofermentum and Brevijbacterium flavum are Gram-positive and aerobic bacteria that are used industrially for amino acid producers. Although the terminal oxidases of the respiratory chain have been well researched for those of Proteobacterium, which are very phylogenetically far from the Coryneform bacteria, and those of Bacillus subtilis and the thermophilic Bacillus, which are also Gram-positive bacteria similar to Coryneform bacteria. but phylogenetically but phylogenetically somewhat different from them, the electron transport system of the respiratory chain in the Coryneform bacteria has not been investigated in detail. It is considered important to elucidate the electron transport system of the respiratory chain, which is the key to energy metabolism, in Coryneform bacteria in order to collect the fundamental data to improve the productivity of useful substances. Furthermore, if the enzymes involved in the electron transport system of the respiratory chain in Corineform bacteria and genes for them are identified, they may be useful, for example, by creating strains with higher energy efficiency. To date, it has been reported that Brevibacterium lactofrumum respiration is coupled to proton transport, and this involves cytochromes a, b, and c (Kawahara, Y., et al. (1988) Agrie. Biol. Chem., 52 (8), 1979-1983). The quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of Brevibacterium flavum was also purified and characterized (Kusumoto, Soné and Sakamoto, "Respiratory Chain of Amino Acid Fermenting Bacterium, Brevibacterium flavum, and Characteristics of Its Cytochrome bd Type Menaquinol Oxidase", Abstracts of th 23th Symposium of Bioenergy Study Group, 1997). However, there has not been a reported in relation to the genes that code for quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of Coryneform bacteria. The present invention has been made from the aforementioned point of view, and its object is to obtain a quinol oxidase gene of the cytochrome bd type of Coryneform bacteria, and to elucidate its structure. In the present invention, oligonucleotides are synthesized based on amino acid sequences of the N terminus of subunit I, and the N terminus of subunit II of the quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of Brevibacterium flavum, and preformed PCR using the oligonucleotides as promoters. , and a chromosomal DNA of Brevibacterium flavum as annealed to obtain an amplified fragment. In addition, they screen a chromosomal DNA library of the wild-type Brevibacterium lactofermentum strain using the amplified fragment as a probe, and a gene encoding a quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of Brevibacterium lactofermentum is successfully obtained.

A DNA fragment encoding quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type or a subunit thereof will be referred to as "DNA of the present invention" as may be the case. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 represents the results of the hydropathy analysis of subunits I of the quinol oxidases of the cytochrome bd type of Brevibacterium lactofermentum, Bacillus stearoth.ermoph.ilus and Escherichia coli. The symbol "*" indicates an amino acid residue shared by three oxidases. Figure 2 depicts amino acid sequence alignment of I subunits of the cyclochrome bd quinol oxidases of Brevibacterium lactofermentum, Bacillus stearothermophilus and Escherichia coli. Figure 3 depicts amino acid sequence alignment of subunits II of the quinol oxidases of the cytochrome bd type of Brevibacterium lactofermentum, Bacillus stearothermophilus and Escherichia coli. The present invention will be explained in more detail later herein. The DNA of the present invention can be obtained from B chromosomal DNA. Lactofermentum based on partial amino acid sequences of quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of B. Flavum. Specifically, PCR is pre-performed using oligonucleotides synthesized on the basis of amino acid sequences as promoters, and chromosomal DNA of B. Flavum as annealed to obtain a partial sequence of the quinol oxidase gene of the cytochrome bd type of b. Flavum Next, screening a chromosomal DNA library of B. Lactofermentum using the partial sequence obtained as a probe, a gene encoding a quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of b can be obtained. Lactofermentum. The chromosomal DNA of B. flavum and B. lactofermentum can be prepared by, for example, the method of Saito and Miura (Biochem. Biophys. Acta., 72, 619, (1963)), and the method of KS Kirby (Biochem. J., 64, 405, (1956). )). A chromosome DNA library can be obtained by partially digesting chromosomal DNA with a suitable restriction enzyme, by ligating each of the DNA fragments obtained to a vector DNA replicable autonomously in Escherichia coli cells to prepare a recombinant DNA, and introducing the DNA in E. coli. The vector is not particularly limited, as long as this vector is usually used for genetic cloning, and plasmid vectors such as pUC19, pUC18, pUC118 and puC119, phage vectors such as lambda phage DNA and the like can be used. The promoter used for PCR can be, for example, an oligonucleotide having a nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 7 or SEQ ID NO: 8. In order to confirm that a PCR product obtained has a desired sequence, it can be confirmed that it contains a sequence corresponding to the promoter by nucleotide sequencing, or confirming that the deduced amino acid sequence of the nucleotide sequence contains a partial amino acid sequence of the quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of B. flavum. It can be performed the screening of a library of B chromosome DNA. lactofermentum using the DNA fragment obtained in PCR as a probe by colony hybridization when using plasmid vectors for library preparation, or plate hybridization when phage vectors are used for library preparation. A positive clone of hybridization can be confirmed to contain a quinol oxidase gene of the cytochrome bd type by DNA nucleotide sequencing prepared from the clone. It is also possible preliminary Southern analysis for a positive clone of hybridization using the probe. A nucleotide sequence of the quinol oxidase gene of the cytochrome bd type of the B. lactofermentum strain ATCC 13869 obtained in the working example is shown in such form as described above in SEQ ID NO: 1. Expected coding regions are shown and amino acid sequences of proteins encoded by them in SEQ ID NO: 1-4. The estimation of coding regions and operon structure and analysis of homology to quinol oxidases of the cytochrome bd type of Bacillus stearothermophilus K1041 and Escherichia coli using GENETYX-Homology Version 2.2.2 (Software Development Co., Ltd.) is performed. The quinol oxidase gene of the cytochrome bd type contains two open reading structures (cydA and cydB reading from the 5"end), and encode I subunit of the cytochrome bd quinol oxidase (also referred to simply as" I subunit "subsequently in the present invention) and subunit II thereof (also referred to simply as "subunit II" later in the present invention), respectively.It is estimated that cydA and cydB comprise 1551 bp and 1023 bp respectively, subunit I consists of 517 residues of amino acids, and subunit II consists of 341 amino acid residues.A sequence similar to an upstream promoter of cydA is presented, a sequence similar to SD is presented upstream of each of cydA and cydB, and a terminator-like sequence is It is considered that cydA and cydB form an operon c and d, while the codon of the N-terminal amino acid residue of subunit I it is indicated as GTG, and the corresponding amino acid as Val in the Sequence Listing, is actually Met. This is considered to be triggered since GTG is recognized as a start methionine. Such cases have been reported elsewhere in the present. Figures 1 and 2 represent the results of the hydropathy analysis performed for comparison of quinol oxidase structures of the cytochrome bd type of the present invention and subunits I of Bacillus stearothermophilus and E. coli, and alignment of the amino acid sequences. Indications I-VII represent regions of transmembrane helix, and therefore it is confirmed that there are at least seven transmembrane helices. It can be understood from the patterns shown in the graphs that they resemble each other. In addition, a region containing a quinol binding site called a Q circuit is presented between V and VI of the I subunit of E. coli, while there is no region that exhibits homology with the last average portion of the Q circuit in B. lactofermentum similar to cydA of B. stearothermophilus, and therefore the region of the Q circuit is shortened. Considering this point, quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of B is expected. lactofermentum has a structure more similar to that of quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of B. stearothermophilus more than E. coli. The comparison of amino acid sequences of subunit I shows that B. lactofermentum has approximately 24.7% homology to B. stearothermophilus and, approximately 38.6% to E. coli, and it is considered that, as for the I subunit as a whole, the quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of B. lactofermentum has a structure more similar to quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of B. coli rather than to B. stearothermophilus. has been reported H19, H186 and M393 for E. coli cydA, and H21, H184 and M326 for c and D of B. stearothermophilus as functionally important residues in view of being a ligand of hem b558. These amino acids are also conserved in cydA of B. lactofermentum such as H18, H185, and M350. Figure 3 represents alignment of amino acid sequences of the three types of bacterial subunits II. As for subunit II, B. lactofermentum shows approximately 25.9% homology to B. stearothermophilus, and approximately 34.8% to E. coli. The DNA of the present invention is a DNA encoding subunit I, which is encoded by the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, subunit II, which is encoded by the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. : 4, or quinol oxidase protein of the cytochrome bd type containing this subunit I and subunit II. The subunit I, subunit II or quinol oxidase protein of the cytochrome bd type can be produced by introducing such DNA into a suitable host cell, and cultivating the transformant in such a way that the DNA can be expressed. It can be mentioned DNA having a nucleotide sequence comprising nucleotides of nucleotide numbers 933-2483 as a DNA encoding subunit I, a DNA having a nucleotide sequence comprising nucleotides of nucleotide numbers 2476-3498 as a DNA encoding subunit II, and a DNA having a nucleotide sequence comprising nucleotides of nucleotide numbers 933-3498 as a DNA encoding both. The quinol oxidase protein of the cytochrome bd type produced or a subunit of the msma can be collected and purified from the culture by a method commonly used for the purification of proteins such as sautéing, solvent precipitation, gel filtration chromatography, and exchange chromatography. of ions. The DNA of the present invention encoding subunit I can be either one encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 comprising substitution, deletion, insertion, addition or inversion of one or a plurality of amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence, or a polypeptide that can constitute a protein that exhibits quinol oxidase activity of the cytochrome bd type together with subunit II. The DNA of the present invention encoding the subunit II can be either one encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 4 comprising substitution, deletion, insertion, addition or inversion of one or a plurality of amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence, or a polypeptide that can constitute a protein that exhibits quinol oxidase activity of cytochrome bd together with subunit I. In addition, a DNA encoding a cytochrome bd quinol oxidase that contains mutations in the subunit I, subunit II or both is also included in the DNA of the present invention. The term "a plurality of amino acid residues" preferably means 1-40, more preferably 1-10 amino acids of residues. DNA, which encodes substantially the same protein as subunit I and / or subunit II as described above, for example, by modifying the nucleotide sequence, for example, by means of the site-directed mutagenesis method such that one or more amino acid residues at a specified site involve substitution, elimination, insertion, addition or inversion. The DNA modified as described above can be obtained by the conventionally known mutation treatment. The mutation treatment includes a method for creating DNA encoding subunit I and / or subunit II in vitro, for example, with hydroxylamine, and a method for treating a microorganism, for example, a bacterium belonging to the genus by harvesting DNA that encodes subunit I and / or subunit II with ultraviolet irradiation or a mutation agent such as N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) and nitrous acid usually used for the mutation treatment. The replacement, deletion, insertion, addition, or inversion of nucleotides as described above also includes mutation (mutant or variant) that occurs naturally, for example, on the basis of the individual difference or the difference in species or genus of coryneform bacteria that harvest quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type. DNA, which codes for substantially the same protein as subunit i and / or subunit II, is obtained by expressing DNA having mutation as described above in an appropriate cell, and investigating the activity of an expressed product. DNA, which encodes substantially the same protein as subunit I and / or subunit II, is also obtained by isolating DNA that is hybridizable with DNA having, for example, a nucleotide sequence corresponding to nucleotide numbers from 933 to 2483 of the nucleotide sequence represented in SED ID NO: l / or a nucleotide sequence corresponding to nucleotide numbers from 2476 to 3498 of the nucleotide sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO: in the Sequence Listing under severe condition, and encodes a protein having the activity of subunit I and / or subunit II, of DNA encoding subunit I and / or subunit II that has mutation or of a cell harvesting it. The "severe condition" referred to herein is a condition under which the so-called specific hybrid is formed, and no non-specific hybrid is formed. It is difficult to clearly express this condition using any numerical value. However, for example, the severe condition includes a condition under which DNA having high homology, for example, DNA having homology of not less than 50%, hybridizes with each other, and DNA having less homology than the previous ones does not they hybridize with each other Alternatively, the severe condition is exemplified by a condition under which DNA is hybridized to each other at a salt concentration corresponding to an ordinary wash condition in Southern hybridization, i.e., 60 ° C, 1 x SSC, 0.1% SDS , preferably 0.1 x SSC, 0.1% SDS. The gene, which is hybridizable under the condition as described above, includes those that have a stop codon generated within a coding region of the gene, and those that have no activity due to the mutation of the active site. However, such inconveniences can be easily eliminated by ligating the gene with a commercially available expression expression vector, and investigating cytochrome bd quinol oxidase activity.
The host for expression of the DNA of the present invention includes, for example, various types of bacteria including E. coli, corinerform bacteria such as B. lactofermentum, and B. flavum, eukaryotic cells such as saccharomyces cerevisiae and the like. In order to introduce the DNA of the present invention into a host such as those introduced above, the host cell can be transformed with a recombinant vector which is obtained by inserting the DNA of the present invention into a selected vector depending on the type of host in which you get the expression. Those methods can be performed using genetic recombination methods well known to those skilled in the art. The DNA of the present invention and quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of the subunits thereof encoded by them are considered to be useful for elucidating the electron transport system of coryneform bacteria. The DNA of the present invention is also expected to be used by seeding coryneform bacteria producing useful substances with high energy efficiency. The present invention will be explained specifically with reference to the following examples. < 1 > Purification of quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of Brevibacterium flavum. The bacterial cells (approximately 120 g in wet weight) of the B strain. ATCC 14067 flavum that have been cultured by the end of the stationary phase are suspended in 200 ml of a buffer (0.5% NaCl, 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.4), and are immediately altered by stirring at high speed by means of a pearl mixer (Biospec) in the presence of 0.5 mM glass particles. Then this suspension of altered cells is brought to centrifugation at 5,000 rpm for 10 minutes and the resulting supernatant is further subjected to centrifugation at 15,000 rpm for 30 minutes. The precipitates obtained in both centrifugations are combined, and are suspended in the same buffer as mentioned above to obtain a membrane preparation. The above membrane preparation (5 mg / ml, 0.5% NaCl, 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.4) is homogenized by a Teflon homogenizer, and is centrifuged at 40,000 rpm for 20 minutes, and the precipitates are collected. The precipitates are added with 1.5% sodium cholate, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% NaCl, and 10 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.4), then homogenized and centrifuged at 40,000 rpm for 20 minutes to collect the precipitates . The precipitates are further added with 10 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.4), homogenized, and centrifuged at 40,000 rpm for 20 minutes to collect the precipitates. The membrane preparation is washed with cholic acid as described above is suspended in a buffer containing surfactants, n-nonanoyl-N-methylglucamide (MEGA-9) and decanoyl-N-methylglucamide (MEGA-10) each to 1% . This suspension is homogenized on ice, sonified, and centrifuged at 40,000 rpm for 20 minutes to obtain a supernatant. The above supernatant obtained by centrifugation is adsorbed on a hydroxyapatitia column equilibrated with 1% MEGA-9, 1% MEGA-10, 10% glycerol, and 10 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.4), and fractionated by elution with a concentration of sodium phosphate increased in steps (0, 50, 150, 250 and 400 nM). Cytochromes are detected in the fractions by reduced difference spectrum less oxidized. As a result, cytochromes c and b are detected in the fraction eluted at 50 mM sodium phosphate, cytochromes c, b and a in the fraction eluted at 150 mM, and cytochromes b and d in the fraction eluted at 250 mM. The fraction eluted at a sodium phosphate concentration of 250 nM is dialyzed against 10% glycerol and 10 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.4), after adsorbing on DEAE-Toyopearl (Tohso) column equilibrated with the same buffer, and fractions by elution with an increased NaCl concentration in steps (0, 80, 100, 120, 140 and 300 mM). The cytochromes are detected in the fractions by difference spectrum of reduced less oxidized. As a result, cytochromes b and d are detected in the fraction eluted at a NaCl concentration of 120 mM. This fraction is used as a quinol oxidase enzyme preparation of the cytochrome bd type. The above enzyme preparation is subjected to SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using 13.5% gel, and blot analysis is carried out on a PVDF membrane. Portions of the membrane corresponding to subunit I and subunit II are subjected to amino acid sequence analysis to determine the N-terminal amino acid sequences. The amino acid sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO: 5 (subunit I) and SEQ ID NO: 6 (subunit II), respectively. <; 2 > Isolation of the quinol oxidase gene of the cytochrome bd type from Brevibacterium lactofermentum. Screening of a chromosome DNA library of B. lactofermentum is performed for clones which contain the quinol oxidase gene of the cytochrome bd type by colony hybridization. Two types of oligonucleotides are synthesized based on the above partial amino acid sequences of quinol oxidase of the cytochrome bd type of B. flavum. One is prepared based on the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the cytochrome bd quinol oxidase subunit I (bbdl: SEQ ID NO: 7), and the other is prepared based on the N-terminal amino acid sequence of subunit II (bbd2: SEQ ID NO: 8). CPR is performed using the above promoters bbdl and bbd2 and the chromosome DNA of strain ATCC 14067 as annealed. As well as for the reaction condition, after denaturation at 94 ° C for one minute, a cycle comprising denaturation at 95 ° C for 45 seconds, destemming at 50 ° C for 60 seconds, and repeating chain extension reaction at 62 ° C for 90 seconds for 35 cycles. As a result, fragments of approximately 1500 p.b., 800 p.b., and 100 p.b. Based on the molecular weight 56.4 kD of the estimated I subunit of the purified protein, and the reported molecular weights of I subunits of quinol oxidases of the cytochrome bd type of other bacteria, the fragment of approximately 1500 p.b. it is considered to be the desired CPR product. Therefore, the PCR product is electrophoresed on a 2% agarose gel, and a portion of the fragment of approximately 1.5 p.b. of the gel to extract the DNA. This fragment of APN is terminated blunt using the Blunting DNA kit (Takara Shuzo), and ligated to the vector pUC118 digested with Smal and treated with alkaline phosphatase using the DNA ligation kit Ver. 2 (Takara Shuzo). The strain of E. coli XL-1 Blue is transformed with the obtained recombinant promoter. The plasmid of the obtained transformant is prepared, and the inserted nucleotide sequence is determined. The nucleotide sequence is performed using the fluorescein-labeled M4 promoter (Takara, Shuzo, SEQ Id NO: 9) as the forward promoter, and the RV-MF fluorescein-labeled promoter (Takara Shuzo, SEQ ID NO: 10) as the promoter in reverse according to the Thermo Sequence fluorescent-labeled promoter cycle sequencing kit (Amersham Life Science). As a result, it is confirmed that the quinol oxidase gene of the cytochrome bd type is contained in the plasmid on the basis of homology with the promoter. This partial clone is designated BD1. This BD1 is amplified by PCR using the M4 and RV-M promoters mentioned above, and a DIG-labeled probe (digoxigenin) is prepared using DIG DNA labeling equipment (Boehringer Mannheim). The chromosomal DNA library of B. lactofermentum is screened using the probe mentioned above. The library is obtained by partially digesting the chromosomal DNA of B. lactofermentum ATCC 13869, inserting the product into the BamHI site of pUC18, and transforming E. coli XL-1 Blue with the obtained recombinant plasmid. Colony hybridization is performed in the colonies of transformants using the DIG-labeled probe mentioned above. The detection of the probe is performed using DIG Detection equipment (Boehringer Mannheim) which uses anticuepro anti DIG labeled with alkaline phosphatase. The colony plasmid is prepared, digested with EcoRI and PstI, and subjected to Southern blotting using BD1 as a probe. As a result, two positive clones are obtained.
The inserted fragments of these positive clones are designated BD21 and BD31, respectively. BD21 comprises approximately 3.8 kp.b. and BD31 comprises approximately 9.0 kp.b. These clones are subcloned, and their nucleotide sequences are determined. The results are shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.
