Description
MUTANT LIPASE AND USE THEREOF
The present invention relates to a polypeptide having lipase activity, a composition comprising the polypeptide as disclosed herein, a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide having a lipase activity, an expression vector, a recombinant host cell, a method for preparing a recombinant polypeptide having lipase activity and a process for preparing a product wherein the lipase is used.
Background
Lipases (triacylglycerol acyl hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) and esterase (EC 3.1.1.1.) are part of the hydrolase families that catalyze the hydrolysis of lipids such as fat and oil.
Traditionally the dairy industry uses animal derived lipases for flavor enhancement of dairy products. These animal lipases have a preference for short-chain fatty acids (C4, C6), which is advantageous for avoiding a soapy flavor caused by long-chain fatty acids such as palmitic acid and / or octadecanoic acid.
Nowadays there is an increasing demand for replacing animal derived lipases with microbial derived lipases. Microbial lipases can for instance be derived from the yeast Candida rugosa.
Candida rugosa lipases are widely used in industry and several lipase amino acid sequences have been identified (Akoh, ef al. (2004), Lipids, Vol. 39, No. 6, p. 513-526). However, Candida rugosa lipases typically have a preference for long chain fatty acids.
WO2015087833 discloses a mutant lipase from Candida rugosa which has a preference for short to medium chain fatty acids. The mutant lipase has a mutation at position 428 and / or position
429.
Schmitt, J. ef al, Protein Engineering, Vol 15, No.7, pp. 595-601 (2002) discloses Candida rugosa lipase mutants with different chain length specificities. The Lip1 lipase mutant P246F showed significantly higher activity on tributyrin (C4) and tricaproin (C6) as compared to the wild type lipase, resulting in higher ratio's C4/C8 and C6/C8 than the wild type lipase.
There is a need for further mutant Candida rugosa lipases which show a higher preference for short chain fatty acids (C4, C6) compared to medium and long chain fatty acids (C8 and higher). Summary

When referring to double-stranded nucleic acids, the complement of a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide refers to the complementary strand of the strand encoding the amino acid sequence or to any nucleic acid molecule containing the same.
The term "control sequence" can be used interchangeably with the term "expression- regulating nucleic acid sequence". The term as used herein refers to nucleic acid sequences
20 necessary for and/or affecting the expression of an operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism or in vitro. When two nucleic acid sequences are operably linked, they usually will be in the same orientation, and also in the same reading frame. They usually will be essentially contiguous, although this may not be required. The expression-regulating nucleic acid sequences, such as inter alia appropriate transcription initiation, termination, promoter, leader,
25 signal peptide, propeptide, prepropeptide, or enhancer sequences; Shine-Dalgarno sequence, repressor or activator sequences; efficient RNA processing signals such as splicing and polyadenylation signals; sequences that stabilize cytoplasmic mRNA; sequences that enhance translation efficiency (e.g., ribosome binding sites); sequences that enhance protein stability; and when desired, sequences that enhance protein secretion, can be any nucleic acid sequence
30 showing activity in the host organism of choice and can be derived from genes encoding proteins, which are either endogenous or heterologous to a host cell. Each control sequence may be native or foreign to the nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide. When desired, the control sequence may be provided with linkers for the purpose of introducing specific restriction sites facilitating ligation of the control sequences with the coding region of the nucleic acid sequence
35 encoding a polypeptide. Control sequences may be optimized to their specific purpose.
A "dairy product" refers to any kind of milk-based product intended to be used as food, feed or beverage, including but not limited to cheese, milk, skimmed milk, acidified milk, butter milk, condensed milk, spreads, margarines, yoghurt, ice cream, milk powder, butter, EMC (Enzyme Modified Cheese), dulce de leche, coffee whitener; coffee creamer, cream, ghee, dairy analogue, etcetera.

The expression vector may be any vector (e.g., a plasmid or virus), which can be conveniently subjected to recombinant DNA procedures and can bring about the expression of the polynucleotide. The choice of the vector will typically depend on the compatibility of the vector with the cell into which the vector is to be introduced. The vectors may be linear or closed circular plasmids. The vector may be an autonomously replicating vector, i.e., a vector, which exists as an extra-chromosomal entity, the replication of which is independent of chromosomal replication,
e.g., a plasmid, an extra-chromosomal element, a mini-chromosome, or an artificial chromosome. Alternatively, the vector may be one which, when introduced into the host cell, is integrated into the genome and replicated together with the chromosome(s) into which it has been integrated. The integrative cloning vector may integrate at random or at a predetermined target locus in the chromosomes of the host cell. The vector system may be a single vector or plasmid or two or more vectors or plasmids, which together contain the total DNA to be introduced into the genome of the host cell, or a transposon. A vector of the invention may comprise one, two or more, for example three, four or five polynucleotides of the invention, for example for overexpression.
A host cell as defined herein is an organism suitable for genetic manipulation and one which may be cultured at cell densities useful for industrial production of a target product, such as a polypeptide according to the present invention. A host cell may be a host cell found in nature or a host cell derived from a parent host cell after genetic manipulation or classical mutagenesis.

Hybridization may be performed under low, medium or high stringency conditions. Low stringency hybridization conditions comprise hybridizing in 6X sodium chloride/sodium citrate (SSC) at about 45°C, followed by two washes in 0.2X SSC, 0.1 % SDS at least at 50°C (the temperature of the washes can be increased to 55°C for low stringency conditions). Medium stringency hybridization conditions comprise hybridizing in 6X SSC at about 45°C, followed by one or more washes in 0.2X SSC, 0.1 % SDS at 60°C, and high stringency hybridization conditions comprise hybridizing in 6X SSC at about 45°C, followed by one or more washes in 0.2X SSC, 0.1 % SDS at 65°C.
An "isolated nucleic acid fragment" is a nucleic acid fragment that is not naturally occurring as a fragment and would not be found in the natural state.
The term "isolated polypeptide" as used herein means a polypeptide that is removed from at least one component, e.g. other polypeptide material, with which it is naturally associated. The isolated polypeptide may be free of any other impurities.

An isolated polypeptide may be produced by a recombinant host cell.
A "lipase", also referred to as a lipolytic enzyme, is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats (lipids). An enzyme having lipase activity as used herein comprises hydrolytic activity towards triacylglycerol, such a lipase activity with enzyme classification EC 3.1.1 .3, and may also be referred to as an enzyme having esterase activity, such as an esterase with enzyme classification EC 3.1.1 .1. An enzyme having lipase activity as used herein may also comprises hydrolytic activity towards a galactolipid, such as a galactolipase activity with enzyme classification EC. 3.1 .1.26, and/or towards phospholipids, such as a phospholipase activity with enzyme classification (EC 3.1.1.4, EC 3.1.1.5, EC 3.1.1.32). Typically an enzyme having lipase activity, as used herein comprises hydrolytic activity towards triacylglycerol. The specificity of the lipase can be shown through in vitro assay making use of appropriate substrate, for example triacylglycerol lipid, phosphatidylcholine and digalactosyldiglyceride.
A lipid, herein synonymous to "lipids", refer to fats or oil, including galactolipids and phospholipids. Lipids also comprise triglycerides, diglycerides and monoglycerides. The word "triglycerides" is synonymous to "triacylglycerol". In these compounds the hydroxyl groups of glycerol are esterified with fatty acids.
A nucleic acid or polynucleotide sequence is defined herein as a nucleotide polymer comprising at least 5 nucleotide or nucleic acid units. A nucleotide or nucleic acid refers to RNA and DNA. The terms "nucleic acid" and "polynucleotide sequence" are used interchangeably herein.
A "peptide" refers to a short chain of amino acid residues linked by a peptide (amide) bonds. The shortest peptide, a dipeptide, consists of 2 amino acids joined by single peptide bond.
The term "polypeptide" refers to a molecule comprising amino acid residues linked by peptide bonds and containing more than five amino acid residues. The term "protein" as used herein is synonymous with the term "polypeptide" and may also refer to two or more polypeptides. Thus, the terms "protein" and "polypeptide" can be used interchangeably. Polypeptides may optionally be modified (e.g., glycosylated, phosphorylated, acylated, farnesylated, prenylated, sulfonated, and the like) to add functionality. Polypeptides exhibiting activity in the presence of a specific substrate under certain conditions may be referred to as enzymes. It will be understood that, as a result of the degeneracy of the genetic code, a multitude of nucleotide sequences encoding a given polypeptide may be produced.
A "mature polypeptide" is defined herein as a polypeptide in its final form and is obtained after translation of a mRNA into polypeptide and post-translational modifications of said polypeptide. Post-translational modification includes N-terminal processing, C-terminal truncation, glycosylation, phosphorylation and removal of leader sequences such as signal peptides, propeptides and/or prepropeptides by cleavage.
A "mature polypeptide coding sequence" means a polynucleotide that encodes a mature polypeptide.
The term "nucleic acid construct" is herein referred to as a nucleic acid molecule, either single-or double-stranded, which is isolated from a naturally occurring gene or which has been modified to contain segments of nucleic acid which are combined and juxtaposed in a manner which would not otherwise exist in nature. The term nucleic acid construct is synonymous with the term "expression cassette" or "expression vector" when the nucleic acid construct contains all the control sequences required for expression of a coding sequence, wherein said control sequences are operably linked to said coding sequence.
The term "promoter" is defined herein as a DNA sequence that binds RNA polymerase and directs the polymerase to the correct downstream transcriptional start site of a nucleic acid sequence to initiate transcription.
The term "recombinant" when used in reference to a cell, nucleic acid, protein or vector, indicates that the cell, nucleic acid, protein or vector, has been modified by the introduction of a heterologous nucleic acid or protein or the alteration of a native nucleic acid or protein, or that the cell is derived from a cell so modified. Thus, for example, recombinant cells express genes that are not found within the native (non-recombinant) form of the cell or express native genes that are otherwise abnormally expressed, underexpressed or not expressed at all. The term "recombinant" is synonymous with "genetically modified" and "transgenic".
"Sequence identity", or sequence homology are used interchangeable herein. For the purpose of this invention, it is defined here that in order to determine the percentage of sequence homology or sequence identity of two amino acid sequences or of two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes. In order to optimize the alignment between the two sequences gaps may be introduced in any of the two sequences that are compared. Such alignment can be carried out over the full length of the sequences being compared. Alternatively, the alignment may be carried out over a shorter length, for example over about 20, about 50, about 100 or more nucleic acids/bases or amino acids. The sequence identity is the percentage of identical matches between the two sequences over the reported aligned region. The percent sequence identity between two amino acid sequences or between two nucleotide sequences may be determined using the Needleman and Wunsch algorithm for the alignment of two sequences. (Needleman, S. B. and Wunsch, C. D. (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48, 443- 453). Both amino acid sequences and nucleotide sequences can be aligned by the algorithm. The Needleman-Wunsch algorithm has been implemented in the computer program NEEDLE. For the purpose of this invention the NEEDLE program from the EMBOSS package was used (version 2.8.0 or higher, EMBOSS: The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (2000) Rice,P. LongdenJ. and Bleasby,A. Trends in Genetics 16, (6) pp276— 277, http://emboss.bioinformatics.nl/). For protein sequences EBLOSUM62 is used for the substitution matrix. For nucleotide sequence, EDNAFULL is used. The optional parameters used are a gap- open penalty of 10 and a gap extension penalty of 0.5. The skilled person will appreciate that all
these different parameters will yield slightly different results but that the overall percentage identity of two sequences is not significantly altered when using different algorithms.
After alignment by the program NEEDLE as described above the percentage of sequence identity between a query sequence and a sequence of the invention is calculated as follows: Number of corresponding positions in the alignment showing an identical amino acid or identical nucleotide in both sequences divided by the total length of the alignment after subtraction of the total number of gaps in the alignment. The identity as defined herein can be obtained from NEEDLE by using the NOBRIEF option and is labeled in the output of the program as "longest- identity".
The nucleic acid and protein sequences of the present invention can further be used as a "query sequence" to perform a search against public databases to, for example, identify other family members or related sequences. Such searches can be performed using the NBLAST and XBLAST programs (version 2.0) of Altschul, et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403—10. BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed with the NBLAST program, score = 100, word length = 12 to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to nucleic acid molecules of the invention. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the XBLAST program, score = 50, wordlength = 3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to protein molecules of the invention. To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be utilized as described in Altschul et al., (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25(17): 3389-3402. When utilizing BLAST and Gapped BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used. See the homepage of the National Center for Biotechnology Information at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.
The term "substantially pure" with regard to polypeptides refers to a polypeptide preparation which contains at the most 50% by weight of other polypeptide material. The polypeptides disclosed herein are preferably in a substantially pure form. In particular, it is preferred that the polypeptides disclosed herein are in "essentially pure form", i.e. that the polypeptide preparation is essentially free of other polypeptide material. Optionally, the polypeptide may also be essentially free of non-polypeptide material such as nucleic acids, lipids, media components, and the like. Herein, the term "substantially pure polypeptide" is synonymous with the terms "isolated polypeptide" and "polypeptide in isolated form". The term "substantially pure" with regard to polynucleotide refers to a polynucleotide preparation which contains at the most 50% by weight of other polynucleotide material. The polynucleotides disclosed herein are preferably in a substantially pure form. In particular, it is preferred that the polynucleotide disclosed herein are in "essentially pure form", i.e. that the polynucleotide preparation is essentially free of other polynucleotide material. Optionally, the polynucleotide may also be essentially free of non-polynucleotide material such as polypeptides, lipids, media components, and the like. Herein, the term "substantially pure polynucleotide" is synonymous with the terms "isolated polynucleotide" and "polynucleotide in isolated form".
A "substitution" as used herein in relation to polypeptides or nucleic acids, denotes the replacement of one or more amino acids in a polypeptide sequence or of one or more nucleotides in a polynucleotide sequence, respectively, by different amino acids or nucleotides, respectively. For instance, a substitution indicates that a position in a polypeptide as disclosed herein, such as a variant polypeptide, which corresponds to at least one position set out above in SEQ ID NO: 1 , comprises an amino acid residue which does not appear at that position in the parent polypeptide (for instance the parent sequence SEQ ID NO: 1 ).
A "synthetic molecule", such as a synthetic nucleic acid or a synthetic polypeptide is produced by in vitro chemical or enzymatic synthesis. It includes, but is not limited to, variant nucleic acids made with optimal codon usage for host organisms of choice.
A synthetic nucleic acid may be optimized for codon use, preferably according to the methods described in WO2006/077258 and/or WO2008000632, which are herein incorporated by reference. WO2008/000632 addresses codon-pair optimization. Codon-pair optimization is a method wherein the nucleotide sequences encoding a polypeptide that have been modified with respect to their codon-usage, in particular the codon-pairs that are used, are optimized to obtain improved expression of the nucleotide sequence encoding the polypeptide and/or improved production of the encoded polypeptide. Codon pairs are defined as a set of two subsequent triplets (codons) in a coding sequence. Those skilled in the art will know that the codon usage needs to be adapted depending on the host species, possibly resulting in variants with significant homology deviation from SEQ ID NO: 2, but still encoding the polypeptide according to the invention.
As used herein, the terms "variant", "derivative", "mutant" or "homologue" can be used interchangeably. They can refer to either polypeptides or nucleic acids. Variants include substitutions, insertions, deletions, truncations, transversions, and/or inversions, at one or more locations relative to a reference sequence. Variants can be made for example by site-saturation mutagenesis, scanning mutagenesis, insertional mutagenesis, random mutagenesis, site- directed mutagenesis, and directed-evolution, as well as various other recombination approaches known to a skilled person in the art. Variant genes of nucleic acids may be synthesized artificially by known techniques in the art.

d. a polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid which has at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 91 %, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein SEQ ID NO: 2 comprises at least one mutation resulting in an amino acid Ser (S), Ala (A) or Leu (L) at position 246, Trp (W) at position 307, Leu (L) at position 345, lie (I) at position 365, and / or Phe (F) at position 534 of a polypeptide according to SEQ ID NO: 1 , wherein Ala (A) at position 1 in SEQ ID NO: 1 is counted as number 1 ; or, e. a polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid comprising a sequence that hybridizes under low, medium and/or high stringency conditions to the complementary strand of the mature polypeptide encoding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.
Surprisingly a polypeptide having a lipase activity as disclosed herein has a higher specificity towards short chain fatty acids, such as butyrate (C4) than the specificity towards longer chain fatty acids, such as octanoate (C8) and palmitate (C16). This is advantageous to avoid or reduce generation of a soapy flavour in a food product, such as in dairy products.
The combination of a) and b) as described above plus the surprising effect, results in a polypeptide having lipase activity wherein the polypeptide is a variant polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 and at least comprises one amino acid substitution resulting in Ser (S), Ala (A) or Leu (L) at position 246, Trp (W) at position 307, Leu (L) at position 345, lie (I) at position 365 or Phe (F) at position 534, wherein Ala (A) at position 1 in SEQ ID NO: 1 is counted as number 1 , wherein said variant has at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 91 %, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%% or 99% identity to amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 and wherein said variant has a higher specific towards butyrate as a side chain than the specificity towards octanoate and/or palmitate as a side chain.
Lipase activity as used herein relates to an enzymatic activity that hydrolyses a lipid such as a triacylglycerol, a phospholipid or a galactolipid.
Lipase specificity as used herein relates to a polypeptide having lipase activity where the activity is specified towards a fatty acid side chain of a lipid, for instance lipids with butyrate, octanoate or palmitate as a side chain. For instance, a lipase specificity towards butyrate relates to a lipase having activity towards a lipid wherein at least one of the hydroxyl groups of glycerol is esterified with butyrate.
A higher specificity towards butyrate than towards octanoate as used herein means that the specificity of a polypeptide having a lipase activity towards butyrate as a side chain is at least two, three, four, five, ten, fifteen, twenty, or twenty- five or at least thirty times higher than the specificity towards octanoate as a side chain.
A higher specificity towards butyrate than towards palmitate as used herein means that the specificity of the polypeptide having lipase activity towards butyrate as a side chain is at least two, three, four, five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five or at least thirty times higher than the specificity towards palmitate as a side chain.
Comparing the specificity of a polypeptide having lipase activity on a lipid having butyrate, octanoate or palmitate as a side chain may be performed by measuring the lipase activity towards tributyrate (tributyrin), tripalmitate (tripalmitin), trioctanoate (trioctanoin) as a substrate at pH 5.0 at a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius as disclosed in the Examples, and comparing the activities.
Alternatively, comparing the specificity of a polypeptide having lipase activity on a lipid comprising butyrate, octanoate or palmitate as a side chain may be performed by measuring the lipase activity towards paranitrophenyl (pNP) butyrate and paranitrophenyl (pNP) octanoate or paranitrophenyl (pNP) palmitate at a pH of 4.5 and a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius as disclosed in the Examples, and comparing the activities.
Instead of using a synthetic substrate to test the specificity one can also use a non- synthetic substrate such as an oil or fat comprising substrate. Alternatively, comparing the specificity of a polypeptide having lipase activity may be performed on a non-synthetic (i.e. natural) substrate (for example an oil or fat comprising substrate) - including C4- and compare the fatty acid release of a polypeptide according to the invention with a wild-type, i.e. non-mutated, enzyme. An example of a non-synthetic substrate is an oil or fat comprising substrate such as - but not limited to- milk, milk cream, butter fat or processed cheese.
Independent of the substrate used, the most important selection criteria for selecting a polypeptide according to the invention is the ratio C4/C16. The ratio C4/C8 is less relevant. Preferably, a variant according to the invention has a higher specific towards butyrate as a side chain than the specificity towards palmitate as a side chain
Advantageously, the ratio of the specificity of a polypeptide having lipase activity comprising an amino acid substitution as disclosed herein towards butyrate as a side chain compared to the specificity towards octanoate and / or palmitate as a side chain is higher than this ratio of butyrate versus octanoate or palmitate of a corresponding wild type polypeptide having a lipase activity. Preferably, this ratio of the specificity of a polypeptide having lipase activity comprising an amino acid substitution as disclosed herein towards butyrate as a side chain compared to the specificity of towards octanoate or palmitate as a side chain is at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 times higher than this ratio of a corresponding wild type polypeptide having lipase activity. A preferred wild type polypeptide having lipase activity is SEQ ID NO: 1.

The inventors of the present application have tested different substitutions at positions 307, 345, 534 and 365. Surprisingly, not all tested substitutions resulted in a preference for short chain fatty acids (C4, C6) compared to long chain fatty acids (C8 and higher), i.e. not all substitutions resulted in an improved of the wildtype lipase (SEQ ID NO: 1 ) and/or are not very active anymore. For example, for position 307 substitution to similar large amino acids M and F did not yield the required selectivity. For position 365: substitution to similar large amino acids Y, F, V, M and I did not yield the required selectivity. And for position 534: substitution to large amino acids L, M and I did also not yield the required selectivity.
Those positions in a polypeptide as disclosed herein, which may be a recombinant, synthetic or variant polypeptide, which correspond to the positions set out above in SEQ ID NO: 1 may be identified by aligning the sequence of the polypeptide of the present invention with that of SEQ ID NO: 1 using, for example, the alignment by the program Needle, to the most homologous sequence found by the Needle program (see above for details of this program). The positions in the polypeptide of the present disclosure corresponding to the positions in SEQ ID NO: 1 as set out above may thus be identified and are referred to as those positions defined with reference to SEQ ID NO: 1.
A polypeptide as disclosed herein may have a higher specificity towards butyrate than the specificity towards octanoate and / or palmitate. It is advantageous that when the ratio of butyrate to palmitate and / or the ratio of butyrate to octanoate is high, the lipase activity of a polypeptide as disclosed herein is still sufficient.

The skilled person will appreciate that these minor amino acid changes in the polypeptide disclosed herein may be present (for example naturally occurring mutations) or made (for example using r-DNA technology) without loss of the protein function or activity. In case these mutations are present in a binding domain, active site, or other functional domain of the polypeptide a property of the polypeptide may change but the polypeptide may keep its activity. In case a mutation is present which is not close to the active site, binding domain, or other functional domain, less effect may be expected.

A nucleic acid molecule which is complementary to another nucleotide sequence is one which is sufficiently complementary to the other nucleotide sequence such that it can hybridize to the other nucleotide sequence thereby forming a stable duplex. The term "cDNA" (complementary DNA) is defined herein as a DNA molecule which can be prepared by reverse transcription from a mRNA molecule. In prokaryotes the mRNA molecule is obtained from the transcription of the genomic DNA of a gene present in a cell. In eukaryotic cells genes contain both exons, i.e. coding sequences, and introns, i.e. intervening sequences located between the exons. Therefore, in eukaryotic cells the initial, primary RNA obtained from transcription of the genomic DNA of a gene is processed through a series of steps before appearing as mRNA. These steps include the removal of intron sequences by a process called splicing. cDNA derived from mRNA only contains coding sequences and can be directly translated into the corresponding polypeptide product.

EXAMPLES
MATERIALS and METHODS
Strains
Pichia pastoris (Komagataella phaffii) (strain ATCC 76273 / CBS 7435 / CECT 1 1047 / NRRL Y- 1 1430 / Wegner 21-1 ) was used (Cregg JM, Barringer KJ, Hessler AY and Madden KR (1985). Pichia pastoris as a host system for transformations. Mol.Cell. Biol., 5, 3376-3385).
Molecular biology techniques
Molecular biology techniques were performed according to Sambrook & Russell, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 3rd Ed., CSHL Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, 2001 . PCR is disclosed in for example Innes et al. (1990) PCR protocols, a guide to methods and applications, Academic Press, San Diego. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed on a thermocycler with Phusion High-Fidelity DNA polymerase (Finnzymes OY, Aspoo, Finland) according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
Example 1
1.1. Preparation of histidine auxotrophic Pichia pastoris (Komagataella phaffii) strain
The HIS4 gene (SEQ ID NO: 3) from Komagataella phaffii strain ATCC 76273 was deleted by using a FLP recombinase and two asymmetric FLP recombination target sequences (FRTs) derived from S. cerevisiae 2 μητι circle (Som,T., Armstrong, K. A., Volkert,F.C, and Broach,J.R. (1988), Cell 52: p. 27-37; Broach,J.R. (1981 ) The yeast plasmid 2 μηη circle. In: The molecular biology of the yeast Saccharomyces: Life cycle and inheritance. Strathern,J.N., Jones ,E.W., and Broach, J. R. (eds)., Cold Spring Harbor, pp. 455-470). This resulted in a histidine auxotrophic strain DSM101 A wherein the 2682 bp HIS4 open reading frame (SEQ ID NO: 3) was replaced with a 34 bp FRT recombination site (SEQ ID NO: 4). The HIS4 deletion was confirmed by Southern analyses and phenotypically. The histidine auxotrophic strain DSM101A was not able to grow on MD media (Sambrook & Russell) without histidine, whereas this strain grew well on MD media with histidine (40 μg ml).
MD contains 15 g/L agar, 800 mL H2O, after autoclaving the following filter sterilized solutions were added: 100 mL 10x YNB (134 g/L DifcoTM Yeast Nitrogen Base w/o Amino Acids), 2 mL 500x B (0.02% D-Biotin), 100 mL 10x D (220 g/L a-D(+)-Glucose monohydrate).
1.2. Preparation of variant lipase DNA construct
The Pichia expression vector pD902 (DNA2.0, CA, USA) was used for expression of mature Candida rugosa 534 lipase polypeptide variants (variants of amino acids 1-534 of SEQ ID NO: 1 ). The lipase encoding sequences were fused behind the omating factor from S. cerevisiae followed by a Kex2 processing site composed of Lysine, Arginine (KR) and a Glutamine Alanine
repeat (EAEA) (SEQ ID NO: 5) The genes were placed under control of the methanol inducible AOX1 promoter as described previously (Brocca S., Schmidt-Dannert C, Lotti M., Alberghina L, Schmid R.D., Protein Sci. 1998(6):1415-1422) and W09914338A1. The Candida rugosa 534 wild type lipase polypeptide sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1 ) was used to design a nucleotide sequence encoding the lipase with a codon usage that matched the coding usage of Pichia pastoris (SEQ ID NO: 2). Additionally, a Xho\ site was placed at the 5' end and a Not\ site at the 3' end. The nucleotide sequence comprising the codon optimized gene fragment encoding the Candida rugosa 534 wild type sequence (LIP1 ), the omating factor from S. cerevisiae followed by a Kex2 processing site composed of Lysine, Arginine (KR) and a Glutamine Alanine repeat (EAEA) and a Xho\ site at the 5' end and a Not\ site at the 3' end is shown in SEQ ID NO: 7. The pD902 vector with SEQ ID NO: 7 is depicted in Figure. 1.
Variants of the LIP1 protein (SEQ ID NO:1 ) were made with the amino acid substitutions P246A, P246F, P246L, P246S, L307W, F345L, S365I, S365L, L410W or V534F. Positions of the amino acid change are indicated in comparison with SEQ ID NO: 1.
The LIP1 encoding gene variants containing the amino acid substitution P246A, P246F, P246L, P246S, L307W, F345L, S365I, S365L, L410W or V534F were cloned into vector pD902 following the procedure as described above for the LIP1 encoding wild type sequence. The pD902 vectors containing the Iip1 gene variants were digested by Sacl and transformed to Pichia pastoris strain DSM101A. Transformation procedure was performed according to condensed electroporation protocol using freshly prepared solutions (Lin-Cereghino J1 , Wong WW, Xiong S, Giang W, Luong LT, Vu J, Johnson SD, Lin-Cereghino GP. Biotechniques. (2005) 38, (1 ):44-48). Transformants were plated on YPDS agar plates with 500 μg mL Zeocin (YPDS: 1 % yeast extract, 2% peptone, 2% glucose, 1 M sorbitol, 2% agar) and incubated at 30 °C for 72h.
Example 2. Production of lipase variants
Histidine auxotrophic Pichia pastoris clones containing a LIP1 variant with amino acid substitution P246A, P246F, P246L, P246S, L307W, F345L, S365I, S365L, L410W or V534F were cultured in 1.5 mL BMD 1 % medium (0.2M Potassium Phosphate buffer, 13.4 g/l Yeast Nitrogen Base, 0.4 mg/ml biotin, 1.1 % w/v glucose, filter sterilized) in 24 deep wells plates (Axygen, California, USA). These cultures were incubated for 60 hours at 28 °C, 550 rpm (Microton incubator shaker (Infors AG, Bottmingen, Switzerland). After 60 hours of incubation, 1.25 mL BMM2 (0.2 M Potassium Phosphate buffer, 13.4 g/l Yeast Nitrogen Base, 0.4 mg/ml Biotin, 1 %methanol, filter sterilized) was added and growth was continued at 28 °C, 550 rpm. After 8 hours, 250 μί BMM10 (0.2 M Potassium Phosphate buffer, 13.4 g/l Yeast Nitrogen Base, 0.4 mg/ml Biotin, 5% methanol, filter sterilized) was added to induce lipase production. Addition of 250 μί BMM10 was repeated after 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the first addition. 12
hours after the last addition of BMM10, the cultures were centrifuged (5 min, 1000 g) and supernatants were harvested and stored at -20°C.
Example 3. Lipase activity on p-NP substrates
The activity of the LIP1 variants P246A, P246F, P246L, P246S, L307W, F345L, S365I,
S365L, L410W and V534F was determined in assays using the chromogenic substrates: 4- nitrophenyl butyrate (Sigma N9874), 4-nitrophenyl octanoate (Sigma 21742) and 4-nitrophenyl palmitate (Sigma N2752). An 8.0 mM solution of the chromogenic substrate in 2-propanol was made. Subsequently, 3.5 mL of this solution was added to 46.5 mL 100 millimol/L sodium acetate buffer pH 4.5 containing 1 % Triton X-100, under vigorously stirring. The enzyme reaction was started by mixing 20 [it of a suitable dilution of the supernatant prepared as described above with 180 [it substrate solution (substrate concentration during incubation is 0.5 mM) in a microtiter plate. During incubation at 25°C in a TECAN Infinite M1000 micro titer plate reader, the change in absorption of the mixture was measured for 30 minutes at 348 nm (isosbestic point of 4- nitrophenol). The slope (deltaOD/min) of the linear part of the curve is used as measure for the activity.
The activity can be expressed as the amount of enzyme that liberates 1 micromol p- nitrophenol per minute under the conditions of the test. In Table 1 , the activity is expressed as the amount of substrate released per ml of enzyme solution (per minute). Samples were diluted such to assure that the absorbance increase after 30 minutes is less than 1.0. Calibration is done using a 4-nitrophenol standard solution (Sigma N7660) diluted in the same buffer.
Table 1 shows the activity of Lip1 mutant lipase with a mutation P246A, P246F, P246L, P246S, L307W, F345L, S365I, S365L, L410W and V534F and the wild type Lip1 lipase on pNP- butyrate and pNP-palmitate. As a reference the activity of three commercial lipases from animal origin (Kerry kid lipase (batch GT00013178), Kerry Halal calf lipase (batch GT00012987) and Kerry lamb lipase (batch GT00012631 produced by DSM) were measured in the same way as described above. Table 1 shows that the ratio of the activities on butyrate versus palmitate of all mutant lipase enzymes was higher than the ratio of the activities of the wild-type lipase and the three animal lipases.

As mentioned earlier, the C4/C8 ratio is of less relevance. The more relevant ratio is the C4/C16 ratio. Example 4. Lipase activity on triglycerides via pH-stat technique
Lipase activity measurements were also performed on tributyrin and trioctanoin using a pH-Stat-unit consisting of TIM854 titrator Monoburette with pH 5.0 as set-point. Substrate solutions were prepared by dissolving 4.5 mM tributyrin (Sigma T8626) and trioctanoin (Sigma T9126) in 30 mL Triton X-100 at 35 °C. Subsequently, 220 mL of 0.86 M NaCI solution was added. Before use, the pH of the solution was adjusted to pH 4.8 with a diluted HCL solution.
A double walled vessel kept at 37°C was filled with 25 mL of substrate solution. The reaction was started by adding 50 [it of the supernatant prepared as described above. A solution of 0.010 M NaOH was used as titrant. The amount of sodium hydroxide, dosed per minute in order to keep the pH constant, is directly proportional to the amount of released free fatty acid and therefore a measure for the activity in the sample in μητιοΙ FFA/min. One unit of activity corresponds to the amount of enzyme that forms one micromole free fatty acids (FFA's) per minute under the conditions of the test.
Table 3 shows that the ratio of the lipase activity towards tributrate versus the activity on trioctanoate of five variants (V534F, F345L, L307W, P246S & P246F) was significantly higher than the tributyrin/trioctanoate ratio of the wild type LIP1 lipase. The tributyrin/trioctanoate ratio of animal lipase was in the same order of magnitude as the five mutant Lip1 lipases.

These cultures were incubated for 60 hours at 28 °C and 250 rpm (INNOVA 4300 shaker). After 60 hours of incubation, methanol was added to 0.5% final concentration (with respect to starting volume) and growth was continued at 28 °C and 250 rpm to induce enzyme expression. Addition of methanol to 0.5 % was repeated after 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the first addition. 24 hours after the last addition of methanol the cultures were centrifuged (5 min, 5000 g) and supernatants were stored at -20°C.
Example 6: Fatty acid specificity of LIP1 variants using milk cream as substrate
Substrate was prepared by diluting milk cream (fat content approximately 35% fat (w/w)) ten times with 1 % triton X-100 solution. pH was adjusted to 5.5 by adding 0.1 M HCI solution. A mixture of 800 μΙ_ substrate and 100 μΙ_ of a suitable dilution of a supernatant of shake flask grown LIP1 variant, wild type LIP1 or reference sample was incubated overnight (approximately 16 h) in a 37°C water bath with continuous mixing. A suitable dilution of the enzyme is the amount of enzyme that realizes a degree of hydrolysis of at least 1 mol% but not more than 50 mol%. After stopping the reaction by adding 100 L 1 M HCI, the free fatty acid content was determined with gas chromatography (see Example 9).
Table 4 shows the fatty acid specificity of LIP1 mutant lipase with a mutation F345L, L307W, L410W, P246A, P246F, P246L, P246S, S365I, S365L or V534F and the wild type LIP1 lipase on milk cream as substrate. As a reference the specificity of three commercial lipases from animal origin (Kerry kid lipase (DSM batch GT00013178), Kerry Halal calf lipase (DSM batch GT00012987) and Kerry lamb lipase (DSM batch GT00012631 ) were measured in the same way as described above. When comparing with LIP1 wild type, the specificity towards short chain fatty acids (C4:0 and C6:0) was significantly improved for variant F345L, L307W, L410W, P246F, S365I, S365L and V534F. For these improved variants, the fatty acid profiles are comparable with the profiles of the commercial animal lipases that are currently in use for cheese application.

The pH was adjusted to 5.5 by adding 0.1 M HCI solution. A mixture of 800 [it butter fat emulsion and 100 [it of a suitable dilution of a supernatant of shake flask grown LIP1 variant, wild type LIP1 or reference sample was incubated overnight (approximately 16 h) in a 37°C water bath with continuous

Processed cheese (ERU Goudkuipje Naturel) was liquified by heating for 2 hours at 50°C. Subsequently 1 mL of a suitable dilution of a supernatant of shake flask grown LIP1 variant, wild type LIP1 or reference sample was added to 20 g liquified processed cheese. A suitable dilution of the enzyme is the amount of enzyme that realizes a degree of hydrolysis of at least 1 % but not more than 50%. After thorough mixing the closed reaction tubes were incubated in a hybridization oven (Techne® Hybridiser HB-1 D) at 20 rpm for 70 hours at 40°C. The reaction was stopped by heating the tubes for 30 minutes at 85°C. The free fatty acid content was determined with gas chromatography (see Example 9).

L307W, P246A, P246L, P246S, S365I or V534F and the wild type Lip1 lipase on processed cheese as substrate. As a reference the specificity of three commercial lipases from animal origin (Kerry kid lipase (DSM batch GT00013178), Kerry Halal calf lipase (DSM batch GT00012987) and Kerry lamb lipase (DSM batch GT00012631 ) were measured in the same way as described above. When comparing with LIP1 wild type, the specificity towards short chain fatty acids (C4:0 and C6:0) was significantly improved for variant F345L, L307W, V534F and to lesser extent also S365I. For these improved variants, the fatty acid profiles are comparable with the profiles of the commercial animal lipases that are currently in use for cheese application.

Example 9: Determination of free fatty acids via gas chromatography
9.1 Sample preparation
100 mg of the sample was weighed and mixed with 2.0 ml distilled water and mixed to a homogenous blend. To this blend 100.0 [it 4 N HCI; and 5.0 mL chloroform; and 1.00 mL internal standard solution containing valeric acid (FA C5), tridecanoic acid (FA C13) and heptanoic acid (FA C17) solved (in chloroform) at a level of 5 mg/L were added. The whole mixture was stirred overnight (>16hr) at 30°C using a stirring plate. After centrifugation (14000 rpm), 1 μΙ of the chloroform layer was directly injected into the GC for free fatty acid analyses. 9.2 Equipment Parameters
The fatty acid analyses were carried out on an Agilent 7890 gas chromatograph with backflush using a FFAP column (Agilent FFAP/HP) of 30m x 0.25mm with a film thickness of 250μιη coupled to an Optic PTV injector (GL sciences) and a FID detector (FID kept constant at 325 °C). After the sample injection, oven temperature was kept at 40°C for 2.5 min, then heated up at 10°C/min until 240°C and kept at this temperature for 2.5 min. The PTV injector was kept at 50°C for 5s, then heated up at 10°C/s until 200°C for 95s and then heated up at 60°C/s until 500°C for 1020s.
The column flow was set to 6 mL/min with hydrogen as carrier gas. The fatty acid analysis used a split flow of 50mL/min. The backflush used a flow of 0.5 mL/min for 1 min and then increased to 8mL/min with a rate of 100 mL/min. The sample was injected using a CombiPal XYZ robotic auto sampler at a speed of 50 μΙ/sec.
The fatty acids numbers were calculated using the internal standards, the FA C4 to C8 using internal standard C5; FA C10 to C14 using internal standard C13 and FA C16 to C20 using internal standard C17.
