Definitions
- the present invention relates to a unicellular or multicellular organism for the production of riboflavin.
- Vitamin B 2 also called riboflavin, is essential for humans and animals.
- Vitamin B 2 deficiency inflammation of the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat, cracks in the corners of the mouth, itching and inflammation in the skin folds, among other things, skin damage, conjunctivitis, reduced visual acuity and clouding of the cornea. Growth and weight loss may occur in infants and children.
- Vitamin B 2 is therefore of economic importance, particularly as a vitamin preparation for vitamin deficiency and as a feed additive.
- it is also used as a food coloring, for example in mayonnaise, ice cream, pudding, etc.
- Riboflavin is produced either chemically or microbially. In the chemical production processes, riboflavin is usually obtained as a pure end product in multi-stage processes, although relatively expensive starting products - such as D-ribose - must also be used.
- riboflavin An alternative to the chemical production of riboflavin is the production of this substance by microorganisms.
- the microbial production of riboflavin is particularly suitable for those cases in which high purity of this substance is not required. This is the case, for example, when the riboflavin is to be used as an additive to feed products. In such cases, the microbial production of riboflavin has the advantage that this substance can be obtained in a one-step process.
- riboflavin by fermentation of fungi such as Ashbya gossypii or Eremothecium ashbyi is known (The Merck Index, Windholz et al, eds. Merck & Co., page 1 183, 1983, A. Bacher, F. üngens, Augen. Chem. 1969, p. 393); but also yeasts, e.g. Candida or Saccharomyces, and bacteria such as Clostridium, Bacillus and Corynebacterium are suitable for riboflavin production.
- yeasts e.g. Candida or Saccharomyces
- bacteria such as Clostridium, Bacillus and Corynebacterium are suitable for riboflavin production.
- yeast Candida famata methods using the yeast Candida famata are described, for example, in US 05231007.
- Riboflavin-overproducing bacterial strains are described, for example, in EP 405370, the strains being obtained from Bacillus subtiiis by transforming the riboflavin biosynthesis genes.
- these prokaryotic genes were unsuitable for a recombinant riboflavin production process using eukaryotes such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Ashbya gossypii. Therefore, according to WO 93/03183, genes specific for ribofiavin biosynthesis were derived from a eukaryote. namely from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in order to provide a recombinant production process for riboflavin in a eukaryotic production organism.
- such recombinant production processes have little or no success for riboflavin production if the provision of substrate for the enzymes specifically involved in ribofiavin biosynthesis is inadequate.
- DE 19545468.5 A1 discloses a further process for the microbial production of riboflavin, in which the isocitrate lyase activity or the isocitrate gene expression of a riboflavin-producing microorganism is increased.
- DE 19840709 A1 discloses a single or multicellular organism, in particular a microorganism for the biotechnical production of riboflavin. This is characterized in that the glycine metabolism is changed in such a way that its riboflavin synthesis without the external supply of glycine is at least equal to that of a wild type of the species Ashbya gossypii ATCC10892.
- the object of the present invention is accordingly to provide a single-cell or multicellular organism, preferably a microorganism, for the biotechnological production of riboflavin, which enables further optimization of the riboflavin bulking.
- a microorganism for the biotechnological production of riboflavin, which enables further optimization of the riboflavin bulking.
- an organism should be made available which enables production which is more economical than the prior art. Above all, the organism should allow increased riboflavin formation compared to previous organisms.
- This object is achieved by a single-cell or multicellular organism whose enzyme activity is higher than that of a Wiid type of the species Ashbya gossypii ATCC10895 in terms of NAD (P) H formation.
- the goal of an accelerated intracellular NAD (P) H supply can be achieved by increasing the activity of an NAD (P) H-forming enzyme or reducing the activity of an NAD (P) H consuming enzyme or by changing the specificity.
- This can be achieved with the known methods of strain improvement of organisms. That is, in the simplest case, corresponding strains can be produced by means of screening according to the selection which is customary in microbiology. The mutation with subsequent selection can also be used. The mutation can be carried out using chemical as well as physical mutagenesis. Another method is selection and mutation with subsequent recombination.
- the organisms according to the invention can be produced by means of genetic engineering.
- the organism is modified such that it produces NAD (P) H intracellularly in an amount which is greater than its need for maintaining its metabolism.
- This increase in intracellular NAD (P) H production can preferably be achieved according to the invention by producing an organism in which the enzyme activity of the isocitrate dehydrogenase is increased. This can be achieved, for example, by increasing the substrate conversion by changing the catalytic center or by canceling the action of enzyme inhibitors.
- An increased enzyme activity of the isocitrate dehydrogenase can also be brought about by increasing the enzyme synthesis, for example by gene amplification or by switching off factors which repress the enzyme biosynthesis.
- the isocitrate dehydrogenase activity can preferably be increased by mutating the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene.
- Such mutations can either be generated undirected using classic methods, such as by UV Irradiation or mutation-triggering chemicals, or specifically by means of genetic engineering methods, such as deletion, insertion and / or nucleotide exchange.
- Isocstrate dehydrogenase gene expression can be achieved by incorporating isocitrate dehydrogenase gene copies and / or by strengthening regulatory factors which have a positive effect on isocitrate dehydrogenase gene expression.
- regulatory elements can preferably be strengthened at the transcription level, in particular by increasing the transcription signals.
- an increase in translation is also possible, for example, by improving the stability of the m-RNA.
- the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene can be incorporated into a gene construct or into a vector which preferably contains regulatory gene sequences associated with the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene, in particular those which increase gene expression.
- a ribofiavin-producing microorganism is then transformed with the gene construct containing the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene.
- the overexpression of the isocitrate dehydrogenase can also be achieved by exchanging the promoter. It is possible to achieve the higher enzymatic activity alternatively by incorporating gene copies or by exchanging the promoter. Equally, however, it is also possible to achieve the desired change in enzyme activity by simultaneously exchanging the promoter and incorporating gene copies.
- the change in the iso-dehydrogenase gene leads to an accelerated NAD (P) H formation and at the same time to a surprising one high increase in riboflavin formation, which was previously unattainable.
- the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene is preferably isolated from microorganisms, particularly preferably from fungi. Mushrooms of the Ashbya genus are again preferred. The species Ashbya gossypii is most preferred.
- all other organisms whose cells contain the sequence for the formation of the isocitrate dehydrogenase are also suitable for isolating the gene.
- the gene can be isolated by homologous or heterologous complementation of a mutant defective in the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene or by heterologous probing or PCR with heterologous primers.
- the insert of the complementing plasmid can then be minimized in size by suitable steps with restriction enzymes.
- PCR Plasmids which carry the fragments thus obtained as an insert are introduced into the! Socitrate dehydrogenase gene defect mutant, which is tested for functionality of the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene.
- functional constructs are used to transform a riboflavin producer.
- the isocitrate dehydrogenase genes are available with nucleotide sequences which code for the specified amino acid sequence or its variation. Aliel variations include, in particular, derivatives created by deletion. Insertion and substitution of nucleotides from corresponding sequences are available, the sococitrate dehydrogenase activity being retained. A corresponding sequence is shown in Figure 2b from nucleotide 1 to 1262.
- a promoter of the nucleotide sequence of nucleotide -661 to -1 according to the iso-cate dehydrogenase genes is in particular.
- Fig. 1 1 or an essentially identical DNA sequence upstream.
- the gene can be preceded by a promoter which differs from the promoter with the specified nucleotide sequence by one or more nucleotide exchanges, by insertion and / or deietion, but without the functionality or the effectiveness of the promoter being impaired.
- the effectiveness of the promoter can be increased by changing its sequence or can be completely replaced by effective promoters.
- Regulatory gene sequences or regulator genes can also be assigned to the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene, which in particular increase the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene activity. So-called “enhancers” can be assigned to the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene, for example, which bring about increased isocitrate dehydrogenase expression via an improved interaction between RNA polymerase and DNA.
- One or more DNA sequences can be connected upstream and / or downstream of the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene with or without an upstream promoter or with or without a regulator gene, so that the gene is contained in a gene structure.
- plasmids or vectors are obtainable which contain the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene and are suitable for transforming a riboflavin producer.
- the cells obtainable by transformation contain the gene in a replicable form, ie in additional copies on the chromosome, the gene copies by homologous recombination can be integrated at any point in the genome and / or on a plasmid or vector.
- the single-cell or multi-cell organisms obtained according to the invention can be any cells that can be used for biotechnical processes. These include, for example, fungi, yeasts, bacteria, and plant and animal cells. According to the invention, it is preferably transformed cells from fungi, particularly preferably from fungi of the genus Ashbya.
- the Ashbya gossypii species is particularly preferred.
- the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDP3) gene was cloned by PCR and then sequenced (see Figure 11 for sequence).
- the partial deletion of the gene by genetic engineering by exchange mutagenesis with a geneticin resistance gene (FIG. 1) was confirmed by Southern blot (FIG. 2).
- This disruption, i.e. Destruction of the gene in the genome of the fungus means that the fungus can no longer form the isocitrate dehydrogenase encoded by it.
- FIG. 3 shows the decrease in enzyme activity in the disruption strain Ag ⁇ DP3b in comparison to the wild type ATCC 10895. It was possible to show in preparations of the peroxisomes that this enzyme is localized in these organelles (FIG. 10). While the enzyme activity is clearly measurable in wild-type peroxisomes, there is no more activity in the peroxisomes of the disruption strain.
- Fig. 7 shows that in the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids, NADPH is required as a reducing agent in two of three alternative reaction pathways.
- the 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase involved in this could also be localized in peroxisomes in cells from Ashbya (FIG. 8).
- Disruption of the IDP3 gene should now lead to reduced cell growth on linoleic acid or linolenic acid. This could also be measured (Fig. 9). This shows that the importance of SDP3 for cell metabolism lies in the formation of NADPH.
- Fig. 1 Scheme of the construction of the vector plDPkan for the gene exchange of the chromosomal AglDP3 gene against a gene copy inactive by deletion and insertion of the G418 R gene.
- Fig. 2 Checking the partial deletion and simultaneous insertion of the geneticin resistance cassette at the> 4g7DP locus by means of Southern blot analysis. Genomic, Sp ⁇ I-digested DNA was hybridized with a digoxygenin-labeled probe.
