Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fungal host strain of Chrysosporium lucknowense .
- the invention relates furthermore to a method for homologous and/or heterologous production of a pure protein with a purity of higher than 75 %, to a method for production of artificial protein mixes and to a method for simplified screening of strains functionally expressing a desired enzyme.
- the invention relates furthermore to an isolated promoter sequence suitable for the transcriptional control of gene expression in Chrysosporium lucknowense and to a method for isolating a fungal host strain of Chrysosporium lucknowense wherein the protease secretion is less than 20 % of the protease secretion of Chrysosporium lucknowense strain UV 18-25.
- Fungi have been proven to be excellent hosts for the production of a variety of enzymes. Strains like Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Penicillium and recently the fungus Chrysosporium lucknowense Cl, have been applied in the industrial production of a wide range of enzymes. Super-producing strains have been developed that secrete up to 100 g/L or more protein in the fermentation broth (see for instance in Hans Visser et al., Abstracts, J. of Biotechnology, S21 1-S241 (2007). The large protein-secreting capacity of these fungi make it preferred hosts for the targeted production of specific enzymes or enzyme mixes.
- these hosts secrete a mix of many different enzymes, making the crude protein product undefined and yielding, besides the desired enzyme activity, a range of non-relevant or even contra-productive activities. This also holds true for the use of such fungal hosts for production of specific enzyme activities by over- expression of selected genes via genetic modification approaches. Also in these cases the target enzyme will only constitute a minor part of the total secreted protein.
- a microbial production system able to secrete high amounts of a specific enzyme without the presence of high levels of other proteins would be highly desirable. It would enable simplified screening of hosts functionally expressing a desired enzyme. It would enable production of relatively pure enzyme. It would also enable simplified large scale purification of the desired enzyme. These advantages would greatly contribute to e.g. easy generation of artificial enzyme mixes tailored for different applications, e.g. plant biomass hydrolysis (biofuels and chemicals), textile finishing, applications in paper and pulp industry. The relatively clean production of specific extracellular enzymes to high levels by microorganisms that do not intrinsically secrete high levels of protein would be a non-preferred approach. The limited enzyme secreting capacity of such organisms would prevent high level production of the enzyme of interest.
- the object of the present invention comprises the isolation of mutants of a fungal strain with high secretion capacity that unexpectedly no longer produce high levels of many non-desired proteins, while maintaining good growth characteristics, and amenability to genetic modification. These mutant strains were should be able to function as a host for high level production of specific enzymes.
- the invention provides a fungal host strain of Chrysosporium lucknowense wherein the endogenous cellulase secretion is less than 20 % of the endogenous cellulase secretion of Chrysosporium lucknowense strain UV 18-25, preferably less than 15 %, more preferably less than 10 %, specifically less than 5 %, more specifally less than 2 %, more specifically less than 1 %, most specifically less than 0,5 %, or less than 0,1%.
- the strain Chrysosporium lucknowense strain UV 18-25 has been described in the international patent application WO 0020555.

All percentages mentioned apply to the secretion of protease, ⁇ -glucanase and cellobiohydrolase independently.
- the strains according to the present invention are further characterized in that secretion of endogenous cellobiohydrolase 1 (Cbhl) is absent.
- the strain according to the present invention is strain WlL, deposited at the Centraal Bureau Schimmelcultures (CBS) under accession nr 122189 or W ILJl 00.1 deposited at the CBS under accession number 122190. More preferably from the strains according to the present invention the gene encoding endochitinase 1 (chil) has been disrupted.
- strains according to the invention are WlL#100.1 ⁇ alpl ⁇ pyr5 or WlL#100.1 ⁇ alpl ⁇ chil ⁇ pyr5.
- the invention also relates to a method for homologous and/or heterologous production of a pure protein with a purity of higher than 75 %, preferably of higher than 80%, more preferably of higher than 85, 90 or 95%, comprising expressing a gene encoding said protein in a strain according to the invention.
- the invention provides a method for production of artificial protein mixes comprising expressing genes encoding each of said proteins of the mix in a strain according to the invention.

- a method for isolating a fungal host strain of Chrysosporium lucknowense wherein the cellulase and protease secretion is less than 20 % of the cellulase respectively protease secretion of Chrysosporium lucknowense strain UV 18-25 comprising the steps of (i) plating Chrysosporium lucknowense on acid swollen cellulose (ASC) plates,
- this method further comprises the steps of mutagenesis prior to steps (i) and/or (iii).
- protease ⁇ -glucanase, cellobiohydrolase, proteinase A, ⁇ -glucanase ,exo-chitinase and laminarinase have been defined as described in WO 2009/0918537 in the name of Dyadic International INC. .
- the present invention relates to the isolation of novel fungal hosts that have lost their intrinsic capability to secrete high levels variety of background proteins, while retaining the ability to secrete high levels of only few enzyme activities.
- the invention also relates to the use of these hosts to produce specific enzymes at high levels without co-production of high levels of non-specific proteins.
- the invention relates to the generation of defined artificial enzyme mixes tailored for different applications.

- Example 1 Isolation of Cl mutants with greatly reduced cellulase activity (white strains).
- UV26-2 was not a stable mutant and successive streaking of UV26-2 resulted in generation of cellulase negative mutants as shown by the absence of clearing zones on ASC plates. These colonies exhibited enhanced sporulation and white color, while normal, cellulase-producing, colonies were cream colored and showed no sporulation on ASC plates.
- UV26-2W1 and UV26-2W2 Two white colonies (UV26-2W1 and UV26-2W2) were picked from ASC plates along with two normal colonies and cellulase production was evaluated using a shake flask screening procedure.
- the white colonies produced 6 and 4 U/ml of AzoCMC cellulase activity, while the two normal colonies produced 278 and 294 U/ml of cellulase activity. This confirmed the white colonies to be cellulase-negative mutants.
- Example 2 Isolation and analysis of protease deficient strains of UV26-2W1L and UV26-2W1D.
- strain UV26-2W1 on RM-ASP medium plates resulted in the identification of 2 types of colonies: colonies with light colored spores like UV 18-25 (UV26-2W1L further indicated as strain WlL), and colonies with dark (pink) colored spores (UV26-2W1D further indicated as strain WlD).
- batches of spores of both WlL and WlD were irradiated with UV (Appendix 1 to the Examples) and used in a direct selection procedure for protease-deficient mutants (Braaksma et al., 2008). Positive clones were analyzed on skim milk plates for their protease activity.
- the medium samples of the WlL parent strain showed less protease activity on skim milk plates compared to medium samples of WlD parent strain and UV 18-25 (Table 1 ). This is contrary to what was observed when the strains were grown directly on skim milk plates. In that case a large halo could be detected around the colony of UV 18- 25 and of WlL after 72 hours growth at 30°C, while a small halo could only be detected after 144 hours for WlD.
- the medium samples of protease mutant WlD #50. g showed a smaller halo on milk plates until 162 hours of cultivation. After 186 hours cultivation, halos were similar as observed for its parent strain.
- Table I Medium analysis of WlL and WlD pai ent strains and their selected protease mutants WlLUlOO l, WlD#50 g and WlDUlOO b UV 18-25 was taken as control Protease activities of medium samples of WlL, WlLUlOO 1 and WlLUlOO I ⁇ alpl were also determined These strains were cultivated in medium Ul (low cellulose / lactose / pharmamedia) The pH was measured and medium was spotted on skim milk plates to determine their protease activity The relative size of the halo is a measure for the pi otease activity m the medium nd not determined
- Example 3 Comparison of extracellular enzyme activities between UV 18-25 and WlL#100.1. Different enzyme activities in the extracellular protein content of UV 18-25 and WlL#100.1 samples were determined (Table 2). Based on these data it was concluded that W1U100.1 secretes very little specific cellulase activity (less than 1 % of UV 18-25) and has very little or no detectable protease activity when compared to UV 18-25.
- Example 4 Further reduction of protein level: identification of major proteins.
- the white strain is missing the extracellular cellulolytic enzyme spectrum when compared to its parental strain.
- the extracellular protein content in white strain cultures, as analyzed by SDS-PAGE, is low.
- This strain characteristic is beneficial with regard to protein production and purification, since the relative amount of any target protein expressed in such strain will be high.
- the (nearly) absence of cellulase activity makes the white strain an ideal host strain for testing new or modified cellulases. The same is valid for xylanases as no major xylanase activity was detectable.
- glucoamylase (Glal, CL09507, peptides TGGWSVV WPVLK (SEQ ID No l)and VVGSSSEL(I)GNWDTGR (SEQ ID NO 2)), exo-chitinase (Chi2, CL00367, peptides TIDAMAWSK (SEQ ID No 3), NFLPV ADILR (SEQ ID No 4), GAYHPSQTYSPEDVEK (SEQ ID NO 5), and SWQLVYQHDPTAGLTAEEAK (SEQ ID No 6) and a laminarinase (Laml, CL08253, peptides PQYESAGSVVPSSFLSVR (SEQ ID No 7) and VSGQVELTDFLVSTQGR (SEQ ID No 8). Also an alkaline protease Alpl (CL04253) has been identified in WlL#100.1 culture broth. Alpl degrades extracellular proteins, and may degrade proteins of interest.
- Example 5 Further reduction of protein level: disruption of the chil, chi2, slal and laml genes.
- the vector pChi3-4 (see Example 9, Isolation of the endochitinase 1 encoding gene) was used for the construction of the gene disruption vector.
- a 1.1 -kb Mscl/Stul fragment was replaced with the amdS-rep selection marker or the pyr5-rep selection marker, resulting in the vectors pAchil-amdS and p ⁇ chil-pyr5, respectively.
- the disruption fragment Achil-amdS was isolated from pAchil-amdS by digestion with £c ⁇ RI.
- the disruption fragment ⁇ chil-pyr5 was isolated from pAchil-pyr5 by digestion with Sma ⁇ .
- Transformation of strain WlL#100.1 ⁇ pyr5#172-12 using the disruption fragments resulted in 215 Achil-pyr5 transformants and 32 Achil-amdS transformants. All the obtained transformants were purified and analyzed with colony hybridization. Southern analysis of these transformants confirmed the isolation of one WlL #100.1 transformant with a disrupted chi gene (Wl L#100.1 Apyr5Achil-pyr5#46 (pyr5+)).
- Disruption was based on the exchange of the gene promoter and part of the 5' coding sequence by an amdS selection marker via homologous recombination using approximately 1.5 kbp upstream and downstream sequences that flank these gene promoter and part of the 5' coding sequence.
- the gene disruption vectors therefore contained the amdS expression cassette plus these flanking 1.5 kb homologous gene sequences.
- White strains ⁇ L# ⁇ 00.LdalplAchil and derivative strains were transformed with the glaL chi2 and laml gene disruption vectors and transformants were screened for the correct genotype using PCR. As such, white strains with a further reduced extracellular protein composition/content were obtained. Target proteins produced by these strains were more than 80% pure in the crude cell-free culture liquid.
- Example 6 Further reduction of protease activity: targeted disruption of genes encoding proteases.
- protease encoding genes were disrupted using disruption DNA fragments that contained selection markers (amdS, pyr4 or pyr 5) flanked by approximately 1.5 kb large DNA fragments homologous to regions up- and downstream of the gene to be disrupted.
- selection markers amdS, pyr4 or pyr 5
- an homologous recombination exchanged the gene to be disrupted for the selection marker fragment.
- Corresponding transformants were selected as such.
- Genes that were disrupted this way either encoded disadvantageous (with regard to target protein stability) protease activities e.g. alpl, alp2, pep4) or significant background protein (chil) or were to be used as selection marker ⁇ pyrA, pyr5).
- disadvantageous protease activities e.g. alpl, alp2, pep4
- significant background protein chil
- Example 7 Identification of strong promoters for gene expression: chitinase encoding gene (chil).
- chitinase encoding gene Several major protein bands were isolated from fermentation samples of W1L//100.1 grown in low density cellulose medium in order to identify and isolate strong promoters that can be used for gene expression in the Wl L strain and its derivatives.
- N- terminal sequencing of a mixture of peptides obtained after CNBr treatment of the major 45 kDa protein of Wl L# 100.1 resulted in the identification of four different peptides.
- Three of these peptides (MVYAG, MPIYGRS and MFXEASA) showed homology with an endochitinase of Aphanocladium album/Trichoderma harzianum (CHI_APHAL P32470).
- PCR fragments containing a part of the endochitinase encoding gene (Table 4).
- the PCR primers were designed based on the preferred codon usage of C 1.
- PCR reactions with these primers were carried out using chromosomal DNA of UV 18-25 as template DNA.
- PCR fragments were cloned and sequence analysis showed that one of the cloned PCR fragments obtained with Endochitpeplc and Endochitpep2revc (173 bp) contained a part of an endochitinase-encoding gene (chil).
- Hybridization analysis of chromosomal DNA of UV 18-25 digested BamUl and HmdIII with this chil fragment as probe showed a clear hybridization signal confirming that the PCR fragment originated from C 1 DNA.
- This fragment was used to clone the complete gene from the ordered Cl-cosmid gene library.
- the fragment sequence (SEQ ID No 18) was as follows:
- Example 8 Construction of an ordered cosmid library of Chrysosporium lucknowense UV 18-25 in E. coli.
- the non commercial cosmid cloning vector pAOpyrGcosarpl (Fig. 3) was used.
- This vector carries the Aspergillus oryzae pyrG selection marker allowing transformation of a wide range of fungal strains.
- the AMAl -replicator is present in this vector.
- a unique BamHl cloning site allows cloning of partially Sau3A digested genomic DNA from Chrysosporium strain UV 18-25.
- a cosmid library of UV 18-25 was constructed in E. coli and stored as glycerol stocks in the -80 0 C.
- the average insert size was 20-35 kb.
- 6800 clones were obtained, which represents a genome coverage of about 5 fold.
- To order these clones in 384-wells plates dilutions of the glycerol stocks were plated on LB-agar plates, containing ampicillin. 7680 individual colonies were manually picked and inoculated in twenty 384-wells plates. These twenty 384-wells plates represent the ordered cosmid library of UV 18-25 in E. coli.
- the individual colonies in the twenty 384-wells plates were spotted on nylon filters (Hybond), using a Staccato 384-pintool (Zymarks).
- the ordered cosmid library was spotted in octuplicate (in total 160 filters). These filters were placed on LB-ampicillin medium plates and incubated at 37 °C to allow colonies to grow on the filters. Subsequently, the colonies were lysed and the cosmid DNA was bound to the filters using standard procedures.
- Example 9 Isolation of the endochitinase 1 encoding gene (chil).
- the 173-bp chil PCR fragment was used as a radio-active labelled probe for hybridization of duplicate filters of the cosmid library. Hybridization of the cosmid gene library using this chil fragment resulted in 3 positive clones. DNA was isolated from these clones and restriction analysis followed by Southern analysis was carried out. A 4.8 kb HindlU fragment and a 3.4 kb BgIU fragment showed hybridization using the chil probe. The 4.8kb HindlU and 3.4 kb BgIU fragments containing the chil gene were isolated and subcloned in pMTL24, resulting in the vectors pCHI4.8 (Fig. 4) and pChi3- 4, respectively.
- a BgIU sub-clone was used for sequence analysis to obtain more sequence data.
- the sequence of the complete chil gene of UV 18-25 was obtained.
- the size of the chil gene is 1529bp in which 2 introns of 1 1 lbp and 138bp are present.
- Example 10 Overexpression of the endochitinase in WlL#100.1.
- chi 1 promoter sequence in pCHI#4.8 could be more than sufficient to drive chil expression.
- a longer chi 1 promoter was also generated by amplifying the a Pstl-Hindlll fragment (upstream of the HindlU site at position -775 relative to the ATG start codon), using one of the previously identified positive cosmid clone as template DNA. The resulting fragment was cloned in pGEM-T-Easy and sequenced.
- the Pstl-Hindlll fragment was isolated and cloned in the corresponding sites of pPchil-xyll-Tcbhl yielding pPchil(1.8)-xyll-Tcbhl, in which the promoter size is 1.8 kb.
- the fragment was also cloned in the corresponding site of pPchil-Tcbhl NotlUl ⁇ , yielding the general expression vector pPchi ⁇ l .%)-Tcbhl Notl (Fig. 7).
- Example 1 Identification of other strong promoters for gene expression.
- RNA samples were isolated from mycelium which was sampled at different time points during a fed-batch fermentation process. A number of genes were identified as being strongly or stronger expressed. To ve ⁇ fy the expression level of these genes, the RNA samples were also separated on gel, blotted and hybridized to probes specific for these genes (Table 6).
- the cbhl promoter which is a strong promoter in UV 18.25 strains, is not active in the white strains.
- the chil promoter was the strongest both under glucose and xylose feed conditions.
- the hexl promoter is a strong constitutive promoter during all phases of fermentation and under both sugar feed conditions.
- the xyl ⁇ promoter is highly active under the xylose feed condition only.
- the pep4, his2a and bgll promoters are moderately active.
- the chil, hexl and xyl ⁇ promoters are very useful.
- Alternative promoters that also give high expression are those of the pep4, his2a and bgll genes.
- Glucoamylase (Glal , gene identifier: CL09507) has been shown to be a major protein in white Cl strains. The glal promoter is therefore also a good candidate to be used for the high level expression of genes of interest in white strains. It was shown that glucoamylase was highly abundant in a white strain grown in the presence of starch. This indicated that the glal promoter is strong and inducible by starch and its degradation products, like maltose.
- Example 12 White strain gene expression system
- pPchil(1.8)-Tcbhl Notl was as described above. Additionally, pCRS Pchil- Tcbhl (Fig. 8) was constructed by placing the Cl repeat sequence in front of the Pchil promoter in pPchil(1.8)-Tcbhl Notl. These vectors have been designed in such a way that they also can be combined resulting in a single vector that contains multiple expression cassettes. The multiple cassettes can be excised from the vector as a single linear DNA fragment.
- Genes were identified by purification and characterization of the gene products (reverse genetics) and / or by genome mining.
- the genes were amplified by PCR or synthesized chemically. Amplification of genes by PCR was performed by using proof-reading PCR DNA polymerases (Phusion or Supertaq plus).
- the amplified genes were cloned into PCR cloning vectors i.e. pGEM-T-Easy (Promega) or pJetl (Fermentas) and sequenced to verify the correctness of the sequence. Subsequently, the genes were released from the PCR cloning vector and ligated into the Ncol and EcoRl sites of the expression vector(s).
- the 5' (ATG) PCR primers contained restriction sites, which are compatible to the restricted Ncol site of the vector. These sites were i.e. Ncol itself (C J.CATGG), or compatible sites that are cut within the recognition site (BspHl, TjCATGA; Pcil, AjCATGT ), or compatible sites that are cut outside the recognition site (Bsal, GGTCTC(I /5); BspMl, ACCTGC(4/8); Espll, CGTCTC(I /5)).
- restriction sites additional to those that were going to be used for cloning of the genes were encountered in the genes.
- the genes were amplified by fusion PCR, where the fusion of the two PCR fragments was selected to take place at the undesired additional restriction site.
- the undesired restriction site was removed by using fusion primers containing single substitution mutations in the undesired restriction site sequence.
- the substituted nucleotide was selected in such a manner that the mutant codon encoded the same amino acid as the original codon. -
- the expression cassettes were released from the E. coli D ⁇ A vector backbone by Not ⁇ restriction.
- the expression cassette was subsequently transformed in to WlL derivatives simultaneously with a selection marker i.e. pyr5 or amdS in co- transformation experiments. Positive and high producing transformants were selected by SDS-PAGE or enzyme assay analysis of the growth medium. Best producers were applied in fermentations to produce high amount of the desired gene product.

A standard fed batch fermentation was conducted, which yielded 9 g protein per liter fermentation filtrate, based on a BCA protein determination assay.
- the following assay was used to measure polygalacturonase activity. This assay measures the amount of reducing sugars released from polygalacturonic acid (PGA) by the action of a polygalacturonase. One unit of activity was defined as 1 ⁇ mole of reducing sugars liberated per minute under the specified reaction conditions.

- the AA 4 I0 of Pgx 1 (CL 10389) was found to be 0.78 with a DF of 1 for enzyme produced in microtiter plate cultures. No standard curve was analyzed, therefore no reliable activity can be calculated. The only conclusion to be drawn is that the enzyme was found to be active towards polygalacturonic acid, and therefore it is suggested that it is a polygalacturonase.
