NOVEL GENETIC PRODUCTS OBTAINED FROM ASHBYA GOSSYPII, WHICH
ARE ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSCRIPTION MECHANISMS, RNA
PROCESSING AND/OR TRANSLATION
The present invention relates to novel polynucleotides from Ashbya gossypii;
to
oligonucleotides hybridizing therewith; to expression cassettes and vectors
which
comprise these polynucleotides; to microorganisms transformed therewith; to
polypeptides encoded by these polynucleotides; and to the use of the novel
poiypeptides and polynucleotides as targets for modulating the operations of
1 o transcription, RNA processing and/or translation and, in particular,
improving vitamin B2
production in microorganisms of the genus Ashbya.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin, lactoflavin) is an alkali- and light-sensitive vitamin
which shows
a yellowish green fluorescence in solution. Vitamin B2 deficiency may lead to
ectodermal damage, in particular cataract, keratitis, corneal vascularization;
or to
autonomic and urogenital disorders. Vitamin B2 is a precursor for the
molecules FAD
and FMN which, besides NAD+ and NADP+, are important in biology for hydrogen
transfer. They are formed from vitamin B2 by phosphorylation (FMN) and
subsequent
adenylation (FAD).
Vitamin B2 is synthesized in plants, yeasts and many microorganisms from GTP
and
ribulose 5-phosphate. The reaction pathway starts with opening of the
imidazoie ring
of GTP and elimination of a phosphate residue. Deamination, reduction and
elimination
of the remaining phosphate result in 5-amino-6-ribitylamino-2,4-pyrimidinone.
Reaction
of this compound with 3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone 4-phosphate leads to the
bicyclic
molecule 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine. This compound is converted into the
tricyclic
compound riboflavin by dismutation, in which a 4-carbon unit is transferred.
Vitamin B2 occurs in many vegetables and in meat, and to a lesser extent in
cereal
products. The daily vitamin B2 requirement of an adult is about 1.4 to 2 mg.
The main
breakdown product of the coenzymes FMN and FAD in humans is in turn
riboflavin,


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
.-. 0000052814
which is excreted as such.
2
Vitamin B2 is thus an important dietary substance for humans and animals.
Efforts are
therefore being made to make vitamin B2 available on the industrial scale. It
has
therefore been proposed to synthesize vitamin B2 by a microbiological route.
Microorganisms which can be used for this purpose are, for example, Bacillus
subtilis,
the ascomycetes Eremothecium ashbyii, Ashbya gossypii, and the yeasts Candida
flareri and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The nutrient media used for this purpose
comprise molasses or vegetable oils as carbon source, inorganic salts, amino
acids,
animal or vegetable peptones and proteins, and vitamin additions. In sterile
aerobic
submerged processes, yields of more than 10 g of vitamin B2 are obtained per
Titer of
culture broth within a few days. The requirements are good aeration of the
culture,
careful agitation and setting of temperatures below about 30°C. Removal
of the
biomass, evaporation and drying of the concentrate result in a product
enriched in
vitamin B2.
Microbiological production of vitamin B2 is described, for example, in WO-A-
92/01060,
EP-A-0 405 370 and EP-A-0 531 708.
A survey of the importance, occurrence, production, biosynthesis and use of
vitamin B2
is to be found, for example, in Ullmann's Encyclopaedia of Industrial
Chemistry, volume
A27, pages 521 et seq.
Transcription
Gene expression in fungi is mainly controlled at the transcription level. The
transcription
apparatus consists of a number of proteins which can be divided into two
groups: RNA
polymerase (the operative DNA-transcribing enzyme) and transcription factors
(which
control gene transcription by guiding the RNA polymerase to specific promoter
DNA
sequences which recognize these factors). Fungi such as Ashbya gossypii
contain a
number of different transcription factors which are specific for different
promoters,
growth phases, environmental conditions, substrates, oxygen levels and the
like,


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
_. 00ooo52s14

allowing the organism to adapt to various environmental and metabolic
conditions.
Promoters are specific DNA sequences which serve as docking sites for the RNA
polymerase complex and transcription factors. Many promoter elements have
conserved sequence elements which can be identified by homology searches; an
alternative possibility is to identify promoter regions for a particular gene
using standard
techniques such as primer extension. Many promoter regions of eukaryotes are
known
(Guarente, L (1987), Ann. Rev. Biochem., 21; 425-452).
Promoter transcription control is influenced by several repression or
activation
mechanisms. Specific regulatory proteins (transcription factors), which bind
to
promoters, have the ability to block the binding of the RNA holoenzyme
(repressors) or
assist the latter (activators) and thus control transcription. In addition,
certain enzymes
modify the histones bound to the DNA and thus make it possible for either
access of the
transcription factors to the promoter to be prevented or made possible for the
first time
(Loo, S.; Rine, J. (1995); Annu. Rev. Cell. Dev. Biol., 11, 519-548). The
binding of the
transcription factors is likewise controlled by their interactions with other
molecules such
as proteins or other metabolic compounds (Evans, R. (1989), Science, 240, 889-
895).
The ability to control the transcription of genes thus responds to a plurality
of
environmental or metabolic signs makes it possible for the cells to control
exactly when
a gene can be expressed and how much of a gene product can be present in the
cell
at a point in time. This in turn prevents unnecessary expenditure of energy or
unnecessary use of possibly rare intermediate compounds or cofactors.
RNAprocessing
RNA is synthesized as heterogeneous fragment, with the coding sequence (axons)
in
eukaryotes frequently being interrupted by noncoding sequences (introns).
During RNA
processing after transcription, the introns are cut out (splicing) so that the
coding
sequence (of mRNA) can be read off on the ribosomes (Sharp, P. (1987),
Science; 235,
766-771 ). Since the export of RNA from the cell is also controlled with the
splicing, it is
possible in this way to control the amount of mRNA available on the ribosomes.

0000052814
Translation
4
Translation is the process by which a polypeptide is synthesized from amino
acids in
accordance with the information contained in an RNA molecule. The main
components
of this process are ribosomes and specific initiation or elongation factors
such as eEF1
and eEF2 (Moidave (1985); Ann. Rev. Biochem., 54, 1109-1149). Ribosomes are
composed of RNA (rRNA) and specific proteins, They consist of a large and a
small
subunit, each of which can be characterized by its sedimentation behavior in
an
analytical ultracentrifuge. Synthesis of the ribosomes is controlled by
coordinated
production of the RNA and protein components depending on the physiological
state
of the cell.
Each codon of the mRNA molecule encodes a particular amino acid. The
conversion
of mRNA into amino acid is carried out by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. These
molecules consist of an RNA single strand (between 60 and 100 bases) which is
in the
form of an L-shaped three-dimensional structure with projecting regions or
"arms". One
of these arms forms base pairs with a particular codon sequence on the mRNA
molecule. A second arm interacts specifically with a particular amino acid
(which is
encoded by the codon). Other tRNA arms comprise the variable arm, the 'T't'C
arm
(which has thymidylate and pseudouridylate modifications) and the D arm (which
has
a dihydrouridine modification). The function of these latter structures is
still unknown,
but their conservation between tRNA molecules suggests a role in protein
synthesis.
In order that the nucleic acid-based tRNA molecule pairs with the correct
amino acid it
is necessary for a family of enzymes, referred to as aminoacyl-tRNA
synthetases, to
act. There are many different enzymes of this type, and each is specific for a
particular
tRNA and a particular amino acid. These enzymes bind the 3'-hydroxyl of the
terminal
tRNA adenosine ribose unit to the amino acid in a two-step reaction. Firstly,
the enzyme
is activated by reaction with ATP and the amino acid, resulting in an
aminoacyl-tRNA
synthetase/aminoacyl adenylate complex. Secondly, the aminoacyl group is
transferred
from the enzyme to the target tRNA, on which it remains in a high-energy
state. Binding


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
v 0000052814
of the tRNA molecule to its recognition codon on the mRNA molecule then brings
the
high-energy amino acid bound to the tRNA into contact with the ribosome.
Inside the
ribosome, the amino acid-Loaded tRNA (aminoacyl-tRNA) occupies a binding site
(the
A site) next to a second site (the P site) which carries a tRNA molecule whose
amino
5 acid is bound to the growing polypeptide chain (peptidyl-tRNA). The
activated amino
acid on the aminoacyl-tRNA is sufficiently reactive for a peptide bond to form
spontaneously between this amino acid and the next amino acid on the growing
polypeptide chain. GTP hydrolysis supplies the energy to transfer the tRNA,
which is
now loaded with the polypeptide chain, from the A site to the P site of the
ribosome, and
the process is repeated until a stop codon is reached.
There is a number of different steps at which translation can be controlled.
These
include binding of the ribosome to mRNA, the presence of mRNA secondary
structure,
the codon usage or the frequency of particular tRNAs.
The utilization of genes associated with the mechanisms of transcription, RNA
processing and/or translation for generating microorganisms, preferably of the
genus
Ashbya, in particular of Ashbya gossypii strains, with improved adaptability
to external
conditions such as environmental and metabolic conditions has not yet been
described.
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel targets for
influencing the
transcription and/or translation mechanisms and/or the mechanisms of RNA
processing
in microorganisms of the genus Ashbya, in particular in Ashbya gossypii. The
object in
particular is specific modulation of the transcription, RNA processing and/or
translation
in such microorganisms. A further object is to improve the vitamin B2
production by
such microorganisms.
We have found that this object is achieved by providing encoding nucleic acid
sequences which are upregulated or downregulated in Ashbya gossypii during
vitamin
B2 production (based on results found with the aid of the MPSS analytical
method
described in detail in the experimental part), in particular

Detailed descriation of the invention:
The nucleic acid molecules of the invention encode polypeptides or proteins
which are


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
referred to here as proteins of the transcription, RNA processing and/or
translation (for
example with activity in relation to transcription, RNA processing, splicing
or translation)
or for short as "TT proteins". These TT proteins have, for example, a function
in the
adaptation to various growth phases and environmental and metabolic conditions
such
5 as substrates, oxygen level and the like.
Owing to the availability of cloning vectors which can be used in Ashbya
gossypii, as
disclosed, for example, in W right and Philipsen (1991 ) Gene, 109, 99-105,
and of
techniques for genetic manipulation of A, gossypii and the related yeast
species, the
10 nucleic acid molecules of the invention can be used for genetic
manipulation of these
organisms, in particular of A. gossypii, in order to make them better and more
efficient
producers of vitamin B2 and/or precursors and/or derivatives thereof. This
improved
production or efficiency may result from a direct effect of the manipulation
of a gene of
the invention or result from an indirect effect of such a manipulation.
The present invention is based on the provision of novel molecules which are
referred
to here as TT nucleic acids and TT proteins and are involved in the
transcription, RNA
processing and/or translation, in particular in Ashbya gossypii (e.g. in the
regulation of
transcription, RNA processing and/or translation). The activity of the TT
molecules of
the invention in A. gossypii influences vitamin B2 production by this
organism. The
activity of the TT molecules of the invention is preferably modulated so that
the
metabolic and/or energy pathways of A. gossypii in which the TT proteins of
the
invention are involved are modulated in relation to the yield, production
and/or efficiency
of vitamin B2 production, which modulates either directly or indirectly the
yield,
production and/or efficiency of vitamin B2 production in A, gossypii.
The nucleic acid sequences provided by the invention can be isolated, for
example,
from the genome of an Ashbya gossypii strain which is freely available from
the
American Type Culture Collection under the number ATCC 10895.


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
Improvement in vitamin B2 production:
26
There is a number of possible mechanisms by which the yield, production and/or
efficiency of production of vitamin B2 by an A. gossypii strain can be
influenced directly
through changing the amount and/or activity of a TT protein of the invention.
Thus, a more efficient transcription, RNA processing or translation, which
adapts
expression of the desired gene products to the external conditions, can
achieve
optimization of the formation of the desired products of value.
Mutagenesis of one or more TT proteins of the invention may also lead to TT
proteins
with altered (increased or reduced) activities which influence indirectly the
production
of the required product from A. gossypii. It is possible, for example, with
the aid of the
TT proteins for the progress of transcription, RNA processing and/or
translation to be
assisted (e.g by activators) or blocked (e.g. by repressors) at various
points, and thus
gene expression or protein synthesis to be influenced. The yield of target
product can
thus be increased or optimized in relation to external conditions.
Polvaeptides
The invention relates to polypeptides which comprise the abovementioned amino
acid
sequences or characteristic part-sequences thereof and/or are encoded by the
nucleic
acid sequences described herein.
The invention likewise encompasses "functional equivalents" of the
specifically
disclosed novel polypeptides.
"Functional equivalents" or analogs of the specifically disclosed poiypeptides
are for the
purposes of the present invention polypeptides which differ therefrom but
which still
have the desired biological activity (such as, for example, substrate
specificity).
"Functional equivalents" mean according to the invention in particular mutants
which


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
27
have in at least one of the abovementioned sequence positions an amino acid
which
differs from that specifically mentioned but nevertheless have one of the
abovementioned biological activities. "Functional equivalents" thus comprise
the
mutants obtainable by one or more amino acid additions, substitutions,
deletions andJ
or inversions, it being possible for said modifications to occur in any
sequence position
as long as they lead to a mutant having the profile of properties of the
invention.
Functional equivalence exists in particular also when there is qualitative
agreement
between mutant and unmodified polypeptide in the reactivity pattern, i.e.
there are
differences in the rate of conversion of identical substrates, for example.
"Functional equivalents" in the above sense are also precursors of the
polypeptides
described, and functional derivatives and salts of the polypeptides. The term
"salts"
means both salts of carboxyl groups and acid addition salts of amino groups in
the
protein molecules of the invention. Salts of carboxyl groups can be prepared
in a
manner known per se and comprise inorganic salts such as, for example, sodium,
calcium, ammonium, iron and zinc salts, and salts with organic bases such as,
for
example, amines such as triethanolamine, arginine, lysine, piperidine and the
like. Acid
addition salts such as, for example, salts with mineral acids such as
hydrochloric acid
or sulfuric acid and salts with organic acids such as acetic acid and oxalic
acid are also
an aspect of the invention.
"Functional derivatives" of poiypeptides of the invention can also be prepared
at
functional amino acid side groups or at their N- or C-terminal end by known
techniques.
Such derivatives include, for example, aliphatic esters of carboxyl groups,
amides of
carboxyl groups obtainable by reaction with ammonia or with a primary or
secondary
amine; N-acyl derivatives of free amino groups prepared by reaction with acyl
groups;
or O-acyl derivatives of free hydroxyl groups prepared by reaction with acyl
groups.
"Functional equivalents" naturally also comprise polypeptides which are
obtainable
from other organisms, and naturally occurring variants. For example homologous
sequence regions can be found by sequence comparison, and equivalent enzymes
can
be established on the basis of the specific requirements of the invention.


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
28
"Functional equivalents" likewise comprise fragments, preferably single
domains or
sequence motifs, of the polypeptides of the invention, which have, for
example, the
desired biological function.
"Functional equivalents" are additionally fusion proteins which have one of
the
abovementioned polypeptide sequences or functional equivalents derived
therefrom
and at least one other heterologous sequence functionally different therefrom
in
functional N- or C-terminal linkage (i.e. with negligible mutual impairment of
the
functions of the parts of the fusion proteins). Nonlimiting examples of such
heterologous
sequences are, for example, signal peptides, enzymes, immunoglobulins, surface
antigens, receptors or receptor ligands.
"Functional equivalents" include according to the invention homologs of the
specifically
disclosed proteins. These have at least 60%, preferably at least 75%, in
particular at
least 85%, such as, for example, 90%, 95% or 99%, homology to one of the
specifically
disclosed sequences, calculated by the algorithm of Pearson and Lipman, Proc.
Natl.
Acad. Sci. (USA) 85(8), 1988, 2444-2448.
In the case where protein glycosylation is possible, equivalents of the
invention include
proteins of the type defined above in deglycosylated or glycosylated form, and
modified
forms obtainable by altering the glycosyfation pattern.
Homologs of the proteins or polypeptides of the invention can be generated by
mutagenesis, for example by point mutation or truncation of the protein. The
term
"homolog" as used here relates to a variant form of the protein which acts as
agonist
or antagonist of the protein activity.
Homologs of the proteins of the invention can be identified by screening
combinatorial
libraries of mutants such as, for example, truncation mutants. It is possible,
for example,
to generate a variegated library of protein variants by combinatorial
mutagenesis at the
nucleic acid level, such as, for example, by enzymatic figation of a mixture
of synthetic
ofigonucleotides. There is a large number of methods which can be used to
produce


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
29
libraries of potential homologs from a degenerate oligonucleotide sequence.
Chemical
synthesis of a degenerate gene sequence can be carried out in an automatic DNA
synthesizer, and the synthetic gene can then be ligated into a suitable
expression
vector. The use of a degenerate set of genes makes it possible to provide all
sequences
which encode the desired set of potential protein sequences in one mixture.
Methods
for synthesizing degenerate oligonucleotides are known to the skilled worker
(for
example Narang, S.A. (1983) Tetrahedron 39:3; Itakura et a1. (1984) Annu. Rev.
Biochem. 53:323; ltakura et al., (1984) Science 198:1056; lke et al. (1983)
Nucleic
Acids Res. 11:477).
In addition, libraries of fragments of the protein codon can be used to
generate a
variegated population of protein fragments for screening and for subsequent
selection
of homologs of a protein of the invention. In one embodiment, a library of
coding
sequence fragments can be generated by treating a double-stranded PCR fragment
of
a coding sequence with a nuclease under conditions under which nicking takes
place
only about once per molecule, denaturing the double-stranded DNA, renaturing
the
DNA to form double-stranded DNA, which may comprise sense/antisense pairs of
different nicked products, removing single-stranded sections from newly formed
duplices by treatment with S1 nuclease and ligating the resulting fragment
library into
an expression vector. It is possible by this method to derive an expression
library which
encodes N-terminal, C-terminal and internal fragments having different sizes
of the
protein of the invention.
Several techniques are known in the prior art for screening gene products from
combinatorial libraries which have been produced by point mutations or
truncation and
for screening cDNA libraries for gene products with a selected property. These
techniques can be adapted to rapid screening of gene libraries which have been
generated by combinatorial mutagenesis of homologs of the invention. The most
frequently used techniques for screening large gene libraries undergoing high-
throughput analysis comprise the cloning of the gene library into replicable
expression
vectors, transformation of suitable cells with the resulting vector library
and expression
of the combinatorial genes under conditions under which detection of the
required


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
activity facilitates isolation of the vector which encodes the gene whose
product has
been detected. Recursive ensemble mutagenesis (REM), a technique which
increases
the frequency of functional mutants in the libraries, can be used in
combination with the
screening tests for identifying homologs (Arkin and Yourvan (1992) PNAS
89:7811-
5 7815; Delgrave et al. (1993) Protein Engineering 6(3):327-331).
Recombinant preparation of the polypeptides of the invention is possible (see
following
sections) or they can be isolated in native form from microorganisms,
especially those
of the genus Ashbya, by use of conventional biochemical techniques (see
Cooper, T.G.,
10 Biochemische Arbeitsmethoden, Verlag Walter de Gruyter, Berlin, New York or
in
Scopes, R., Protein Purification, Springer Verlag, New York, Heidelberg,
Berlin.
Nucleic acid seauences:
15 The invention also relates to nucleic acid sequences (single- and double-
stranded DNA
and RNA sequences such as, for example, cDNA and mRNA), coding for one of the
above polypeptides and their functional equivalents which are obtainable, for
example,
by use of artificial nucleotide analogs.
20 The invention relates both to isolated nucleic acid molecules which code
for
polypeptides or proteins of the invention or biologically active sections
thereof, and to
nucleic acid fragments which can be used, for example, for use as
hybridization probes
or primers for identifying or amplifying coding nucleic acids of the
invention.
25 The nucleic acid molecules of the invention may additionally comprise
untranslated
sequences from the 3' and/or 5' end of the coding region of the gene.
An "isolated" nucleic acid molecule is separated from other nucleic acid
molecules
which are present in the natural source of the nucleic acid and may moreover
be
30 essentially free of other cellular material or culture medium if it is
produced by
recombinant techniques, or free of chemical precursors or other chemicals if
it is
chemically synthesized.


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
31
A nucleic acid molecule of the invention can be isolated by using standard
techniques
of molecular biology and the sequence information provided according to the
invention.
For example, cDNA can be isolated from a suitable cDNA library by using one of
the
specifically disclosed complete sequences or a section thereof as
hybridization probe
and standard hybridization techniques (as described, for example, in Sambrook,
J.,
Fritsch, E.F, and Maniatis, T. Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual. 2nd
edition, Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring
Harbor,
NY, 1989). It is moreover possible for a nucleic acid molecule comprising one
of the
disclosed sequences or a section thereof to be isolated by polymerase chain
reaction
using the oligonucleotide primers constructed on the basis of this sequence.
The
nucleic acid amplified in this way can be cloned into a suitable vector and be
characterized by DNA sequence analysis. The oligonucleotides of the invention
which
correspond to a TT nucleotide sequence can also be produced by standard
synthetic
methods, for example using an automatic DNA synthesizer.
The invention additionally comprises the nucleic acid molecules which are
complementary to the specifically described nucleotide sequences, or a section
thereof.
The nucleotide sequences of the invention make it possible to generate probes
and
primers which can be used for identifying and/or cloning homologous sequences
in
other cell types and organisms. Such probes and primers usually comprise a
nucleotide
sequence region which hybridizes under stringent conditions onto at least
about 12,
preferably at least about 25, such as, for example, 40, 50 or 75, consecutive
nucleotides of a sense strand of a nucleic acid sequence of the invention or a
corresponding antisense strand.
Further nucleic acid sequences of the invention are derived from SEQ 1D NO: 1,
4, 6,
10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, 29, 31, 36, 38, 40, 42, 46, 48, 5 i , 53, 56,
58, 60, 63, 65,
67, 70, 72, 74, 75, or SEQ ID NO: 77 and differ therefrom through addition,
substitution,
insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotides, but still code for
polypeptides having
the desired profile of properties.


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
32
The invention also encompasses nucleic acid sequences which comprise so-called
silent mutations or are modified, by comparison with a specifically mentioned
sequence,
in accordance with the codon usage of a specific source or host organism, as
well as
naturally occurring variants such as, far example, splice variants or allelic
variants,
thereof. It likewise relates to sequences which are obtainable by conservative
nucleotide substitutions (i.e. the relevant amino acid is replaced by an amino
acid with
the same charge, size, polarity and/or solubility).
The invention also relates to molecules derived from the specifically
disclosed nucleic
acids through sequence polymorphisms. These genetic polymorphisms may exist
because of the natural variation between individuals within a population.
These natural
variations normally result in a variance of from 1 to 5% in the nucleotide
sequence of
a gene.
The invention additionally encompasses nucleic acid sequences which hybridize
with
or are complementary to the abovementioned coding sequences. These
polynucleotides can be found on screening of genomic or cDNA libraries and,
where
appropriate, be amplified therefrom by means of PCR using suitable primers,
and then,
for example, be isolated with suitable probes. Another possibility is to
transform suitable
microorganisms with polynucleotides or vectors of the invention, multiply the
microorganisms and thus the polynucleotides, and then isolate them. An
additional
possibility is to synthesize polynucleotides of the invention by chemical
routes.
The property of being able to "hybridize" onto polynucleotides means the
ability of a
polynucleotide or oligonucleotide to bind under stringent conditions to an
almost
complementary sequence, while there are no nonspecific bindings between
noncomplementary partners under these conditions. For this purpose, the
sequences
should be 70-100%, preferably 90-100%, complementary. The property of
complementary sequences being able to bind specifically to one another is made
use
of, for example, in the Northern or Southern blot technique or in PCR or RT-
PCR in the
case of primer binding. Oligonucleotides with a length of 30 base pairs or
more are


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
33
normally employed for this purpose. Stringent conditions mean, for example, in
the
Northern blot technique the use of a washing solution at 50 - 70°C,
preferably 60 -
65°C, for example 0.1 x SSC buffer with 0.1 % SDS (20x SSC: 3M NaCI,
0.3M Na citrate,
pH 7.0) for eluting nonspecifically hybridized cDNA probes or
oligonucleotides. In this
case, as mentioned above, only nucleic acids with a high degree of
complementarity
remain bound to one another. The setting up of stringent conditions is known
to the
skilled worker and is described, for example, in Ausubel et al., Current
Protocols in
Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, N.Y. (1989), 6.3.1-6.3.6.
A further aspect of the invention relates to antisense nucleic acids. This
comprises a
nucleotide sequence which is complementary to a coding sense nucleic acid. The
antisense nucleic acid may be complementary to the entire coding strand or
only to a
section thereof. In a further embodiment, the antisense nucleic acid molecule
is
antisense to a noncoding region of the coding strand of a nucleotide sequence.
The
term "noncoding region" relates to the sequence sections which are referred to
as 5'-
and 3'-untranslated regions.
An antisense oligonucleotide may be, for example, about 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,
35, 40,
45 or 50 nucleotides long. An antisense nucleic acid of the invention can be
constructed
by chemical synthesis and enzymatic ligation reactions using methods known in
the art.
An antisense nucleic acid can be synthesized chemically, using naturally
occurring
nucleotides or variously modified nucleotides which are configured so that
they increase
the biological stability of the molecules or increase the physical stability
of the duplex
formed between the antisense and sense nucleic acids. Examples which can be
used
are phosphorothioate derivatives and acridine-substituted nucleotides.
Examples of
modified nucleosides which can be used for generating the antisense nucleic
acid are,
inter alia, 5-fluorouracil, 5-bromouracil, 5-chlorouracil, 5-iodouracil,
hypoxanthine,
xanthine, 4-acetylcytosine, 5-(carboxyhydroxymethyl)uracil, 5-carboxymethyl-
aminomethyl-2-thiouridine, 5-carboxymethylaminomethyluracil, dihydrouracil,
beta-D-
galactosylqueuosine, inosine, N6-isopentenyladenine, 1-methylguanine, 1-methyl-

inosine, 2,2-dimethylguanine, 2-methyladenine, 2-methylguanine, 3-
methylcytosine,
5-methylcytosine, N6-methyladenine, 7-methylguanine, 5-
methylaminomethyluracil,


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
34
5-methoxyaminomethyl-2-thiouracil, beta-D-mannosylqueuosine, 5-methoxycarboxy-
methyluracil, 5-methoxyuracil, 2-methylthio-N6-isopentenyladenine, uracil-5-
oxyacetic
acid (v), wybutoxosine, pseudouracil, queuosine, 2-thiocytosine, 5-methyl-2-
thiouracil,
2-thiouracil, 4-thiouracil, 5-methyluracil, methyl uracil-5-oxyacetate, 3-(3-
amino-
3-carboxypropyl)uracil, (acp3)w and 2,6-diaminopurine. The antisense nucleic
acid may
also be produced biologically by using an expression vector into which a
nucleic acid
has been subcloned in the antisense direction.
The antisense nucleic acid molecules of the invention are normally
administered to a
cell or generated in situ so that they hybridize with the cellular mRNA and/or
a coding
DNA or bind thereto, so that expression of the protein is inhibited for
example by
inhibition of transcription and/or translation.
The antisense molecule can be modified so that it binds specifically to a
receptor or to
an antigen which is expressed on a selected cell surface, for example through
linkage
of the antisense nucleic acid molecule to a peptide or an antibody which binds
to a cell
surface receptor or antigen. The antisense nucleic acid molecule can also be
administered to cells by using the vectors described herein. The vector
constructs
preferred for achieving adequate intracellular concentrations of the antisense
molecules
are those in which the antisense nucleic acid molecule is under the control of
a strong
bacterial, viral or eukaryotic promoter.
In a further embodiment, the antisense nucleic acid molecule of the invention
is an
alpha-anomeric nucleic acid molecule. An alpha-anomeric nucleic acid molecule
forms
specific double-stranded hybrids with complementary RNA, with the strands
running
parallel to one another, in contrast to normal alpha units (Gaultier et al.,
(1987) Nucleic
Acids Res. 15:6625-6641 ). The antisense nucleic acid molecule may
additionally
comprise a 2'-O-methylribonucleotide (Inoue et al., (1987) Nucleic Acids Res.
15:6131-
6148) or a chimeric RNA-DNA analog (Inoue et al. (1987) FEES Lett. 215:327-
330).
The invention also relates to ribozymes. These are catalytic RNA molecules
with
ribonuclease activity which are able to cleave a single-stranded nucleic acid
such as an


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
mRNA to which they have a complementary region. It is thus possible to use
ribozymes
(for example hammerhead ribozymes (described in Haselhoff and Gerlach (1988)
Nature 334:585-591 )) for the catalytic cleavage of transcripts of the
invention in order
thereby to inhibit the translation of the corresponding nucleic acid. A
ribozyme with
5 specificity for a coding nucleic acid of the invention can be formed, for
example, an the
basis of a cDNA specifically disclosed herein. For example a derivative of a
tetrahymena-L-i 9 IVS RNA can be constructed, with the nucleotide sequence of
the
active site being complementary to the nucleotide sequence to be cleaved in a
coding
mRNA of the invention. (Compare, for example, US-A-4 987 071 and US-A-5 116
742).
10 Alternatively, mRNA can be used for selecting a catalytic RNA with specific
ribonuclease activity from a pool of RNA molecules (see, for example, Bartel,
D., and
Szostak, J.W. (1993) Science 261:1411-1418).
Gene expression of sequences of the invention can alternatively be inhibited
by
15 targeting nucleotide sequences which are complementary to the regulatory
region of a
nucleotide sequence of the invention (for example to a promoter and/or
enhancer of a
coding sequence) so that there is formation of triple helix structures which
prevent
transcription of the corresponding gene in target cells (Helene, C. (1991)
Anticancer
Drug Res. 6(6) 569-584; Helene, C. et al., (1992) Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 660:27-
36; and
20 Maher., L.J. (1992) Bioassays 14(12):807-815).
Expression constructs and vectors:
The invention additionally relates to expression constructs comprising, under
the
25 genetic control of regulatory nucleic acid sequences, a nucleic acid
sequence coding
for a polypeptide of the invention; and to vectors comprising at least one of
these
expression constructs. Such constructs of the invention preferably comprise a
promoter
5'-upstream from the particular coding sequence, and a terminator sequence
3'-downstream, and, where appropriate, other usual regulatory elements, in
particular
30 each operatively linked to the coding sequence. "Operative linkage" means
the
sequential arrangement of promoter, coding sequence, terminator and, where
appropriate, other regulatory elements in such a way that each of the
regulatory


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
36
elements is able to comply with its function as intended for expression of the
coding
sequence. Examples of sequences which can be operatively linked are targeting
sequences and enhancers, polyadenylation signals and the like. Other
regulatory
elements comprise selectable markers, amplification signals, origins of
replication and
the like. Suitable regulatory sequences are described, for example, in
Goeddel, Gene
Expression Technology: Methods in Enzymology 185, Academic Press, San Diego,
CA
(1990).
In addition to the artificial regulatory sequences it is possible for the
natural regulatory
sequence still to be present in front of the actual structural gene. This
natural regulation
can, where appropriate, be switched off by genetic modification, and
expression of the
genes can be increased or decreased. The gene construct can, however, also
have a
simpler structure, that is to say no additional regulatory signals are
inserted in front of
the structural gene, and the natural promoter with its regulation is not
deleted. Instead,
the natural regulatory sequence is mutated so that regulation no longer takes
place, and
gene expression is enhanced or diminished. The nucleic acid sequences may be
present in one or more copies in the gene construct.
Examples of promoters which can be used are: cos, tac, trp, tet, trp-let, Ipp,
lac,
Ipp-lac, laclq, T7, T5, T3, gal, trc, ara, SP6, ~.-PR or ~.-PL. promoter,
which are
advantageously used in Gram-negative bacteria; and the Gram-positive promoters
amy
and SP02, the yeast promoters ADC1, MFa, AC, P-60, CYC1, GAPDH or the plant
promoters CaMV/35S, SSU, OCS, lib4, usp, STLS1, B33, not or the ubiquitin or
phaseolin promoter. The use of inducible promoters is particularly preferred,
such as,
for example, light- and, in particular, temperature-inducible promoters such
as the PAP,
promoter. It is possible in principle for all natural promoters with their
regulatory
sequences to be used. In addition, it is also possible advantageously to use
synthetic
promoters.
Said regulatory sequences are intended to make specific expression of the
nucleic acid
sequences possible. This may mean, for example, depending on the host
organism,
that the gene is expressed or overexpressed only after induction or that it is
immediately


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
expressed and/or overexpressed.
37
The regulatory sequences or factors may moreover preferably influence
positively, and
thus increase or reduce, expression. Thus, enhancement of the regulatory
elements
can take place advantageously at the level of transcription by using strong
transcription
signals such as promoters and/or enhancers. However, it is also possible to
enhance
translation by, for example, improving the stability of the mRNA.
An expression cassette is produced by fusing a suitable promoter to a suitable
nucleotide sequence of the invention and to a terminator signal or
polyadenylation
signal. Conventional techniques of recombination and cloning are used for this
purpose,
as described, for example, in T. Maniatis, E.F. Fritsch and J. Sambrook,
Molecular
Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring
Harbor, NY
(1982) and in T.J. Silhavy, M.L. Berman and L.W. Enquist, Experiments with
Gene
Fusions, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY (1984) and in
Ausubel, F.M. et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Greene
Publishing Assoc.
and Wiley Interscience (1987).
For expression in a suitable host organism, the recombinant nucleic acid
construct or
gene construct is advantageously inserted into a host-specific vector, which
makes
optimal expression of the genes in the host possible. Vectors are welt known
to the
skilled worker and can be found, for example, in "Cloning Vectors" (Pouwels P.
H. et
al., eds, Elsevier, Amsterdam-New York-Oxford, 1985). Vectors also mean not
only
plasmids but also all other vectors known to the skilled worker, such as, for
example,
phages, viruses, such as SV40, CMV, baculovirus and adenovirus, transposons,
IS
elements, phasmids, cosmids, and linear or circular DNA. These vectors may
undergo
autonomous replication in the host organism or chromosomal replication.
Examples of suitable expression vectors which may be mentioned are:
Conventional fusion expression vectors such as pGEX (Pharmacia Biotech lnc;
Smith,
D.B. and Johnson, K.S. (1988) Gene 67:31-40), pMAL (New England Biolabs,
Beverly,


CA 02458953 2004-02-27

38
MA) and pRiT 5 (Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ), with which respectively
glutathione S-
transferase (GST), maltose E-binding protein and protein A are fused to the
recombinant target protein.
Non-fusion protein expression vectors such as pTrc (Amann et ai., (1988) Gene
69:301-
315) and pET 1 i d (Studier et al. Gene Expression Technology: Methods in
Enzymology
185, Academic Press, San Diego, California (1990) 60-89).
Yeast expression vector for expression in the yeast S. cerevisiae, such as
pYepSecl
(Baldari et al., (1987) Embo J. 6:229-234), pMFa (Kurjan and Herskowitz (1982)
Cell
30:933-943), pJRY88 (Schultz et al. (1987) Gene 54:i 13-123) and pYES2
(Invitrogen
Corporation, San Diego, CA). Vectors and methods for constructing vectors
suitable for
the use in other fungi such as filamentous fungi comprise those which are
described in
detail in: van den Hondel, C.A.M.J.J. & Punt, P.J. (1991 ) "Gene transfer
systems and
vector development for filamentous fungi, in: Applied Molecular Genetics of
Fungi, J.F.
Peberdy et al., eds, pp. 1-28, Cambridge University Press: Cambridge.
Baculovirus vectors which are available for expression of proteins in cultured
insect
cells (for example Sf9 cells) comprise the pAc series (Smith et al., (1983)
Mol. Cell Biol.
3:2156-2165) and pVL series (Lucklow and Summers (1989) Virology 170:31-39).
Plant expression vectors such as those described in detail in: Becker, D.,
Kemper, E.,
Schell, J. and Masterson, R. (1992) "New plant binary vectors with selectable
markers
located proximal to the left border", Plant Mol. Biol. 20:1195-1197; and
Bevan, M.W.
(1984) "Binary Agrobacterium vectors for plant transformation", Nucl. Acids
Res.
12:8711-8721.
Mammalian expression vectors such as pCDM8 (Seed, B. (1987) Nature 329:840)
and
pMT2PC (Kaufman et ai. (1987) EMBO J. 6:187-195).
Further suitable expression systems for prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are
described
in chapters 16 and 17 of Sambrook, J., Fritsch, E.F. and Maniatis, T.,

Recombinant microorganisms:
The vectors of the invention can be used to produce recombinant microorganisms
which are transformed, for example, with at least one vector of the invention
and can
be employed for producing the pofypeptides of the invention. The recombinant
constructs of the invention described above are advantageously introduced and
expressed in a suitable host system. Cloning and transfection methods familiar
to the
skilled worker, such as, for example, coprecipitation, protoplast fusion,
eiectroporation,
retroviral transfection and the like, are preferably used to bring about
expression of said
nucleic acids in the particular expression system. Suitable systems are
described, for
example, in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, F. Ausubel et al., eds,
Wlley
Interscience, New York 1997, or Sambrook et al. Molecular Cloning: A
Laboratory
Manual, 2nd edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory
Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, 1989.
It is also possible according to the invention to produce homologously
recombined
microorganisms. This entails production of a vector which contains at least
one section
of a gene of the invention or a coding sequence, in which, where appropriate,
at least
one amino acid deletion, addition or substitution has been introduced in order
to modify,
for example functionally disrupt, the sequence of the invention (knockout
vector). The
introduced sequence may, for example, also be a homolog from a related
microorganism or be derived from a mammalian, yeast or insect source. The
vector
used for homologous recombination may alternatively be designed so that the
endogenous gene is mutated or otherwise modified during the homologous
recombination but still encodes the functional protein (for example the
regulatory region
located upstream may be modified in such a way that this modifies expression
of the
endogenous protein). The modified section of the TT gene is in the homologous
recombination vector. The construction of suitable vectors for homologous
recombination is, for example, described in Thomas, K.R. and Capecchi, M.R.
(1987)


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
Cell 51:503.
Suitable host organisms are in principle all organisms which enable expression
of the
nucleic acids of the invention, their allelic variants, their functional
equivalents or
5 derivatives. Host organisms mean, for example, bacteria, fungi, yeasts,
plant or animal
cells. Preferred organisms are bacteria, such as those of the genera
Escherichia, such
as, for example, Escherichia coli, Streptomyces, Bacillus or Pseudomonas,
eukaryotic
microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus, higher
eukaryotic cells
from animals or plants, for example Sf9 or CHO cells. Preferred organisms are
selected
10 from the genus Ashbya, in particular from A. gossypii strains.
Successfully transformed organisms can be selected through marker genes which
are
likewise present in the vector or in the expression cassette. Examples of such
marker
genes are genes for antibiotic resistance and for enzymes which catalyze a
color-
15 forming reaction which causes staining of the transformed cell. These can
then be
selected by automatic cell sorting. Microorganisms which have been
successfully
transformed with a vector and harbor an appropriate antibiotic resistance gene
(for
example 6418 or hygromycin) can be selected by appropriate antibiotic-
containing
media or nutrient media. Marker proteins present on the surface of the cell
can be used
20 for selection by means of affinity chromatography.
The combination of the host organisms and the vectors appropriate for the
organisms,
such as plasmids, viruses or phages, such as, for example, plasmids with the
RNA
polymerase/promoter system, phages ~, or w or other temperate phages or
transposons
25 and/or other advantageous regulatory sequences forms an expression system.
The
term "expression system" means, for example, the combination of mammalian
cells,
such as CHO cells, and vectors, such as pcDNA3neo vector, which are suitable
for
mammalian cells.
30 If desired, the gene product can also be expressed in transgenic organisms
such as
transgenic animals such as, in particular, mice, sheep or transgenic plants.

Recombinant production of the pol~peptides:
The invention further relates to methods for the recombinant production of a
polypeptide
of the invention or functional, biologically active fragments thereof, wherein
a
polypeptide-producing microorganism is cultured, expression of the
polypeptides is
induced where appropriate, and they are isolated from the culture. The
polypeptides
can also be produced on the industrial scale in this way if desired.
The recombinant microorganism can be cultured and fermented by known methods.
Bacteria can be grown, for example, in TB or LB medium and at a temperature of
20
to 40°C and a pH of from 6 to 9. Details of suitable culturing
conditions are described,
for example, in T. Maniatis, E.F. Fritsch and J. Sambrook, Molecular Cloning:
A
Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY
(1982).
If the polypeptides are not secreted into the culture medium, the cells are
then disrupted
and the product is obtained from the lysate by known protein isolation
methods. The
cells may alternatively be disrupted by high-frequency ultrasound, by high
pressure,
such as, for example, in a French pressure cell, by osmolysis, by the action
of
detergents, fytic enzymes or organic solvents, by homogenizers or by a
combination of
a plurality of the methods mentioned.
The polypeptides can be purified by known chromatographic methods such as
molecular sieve chromatography (gel filtration), such as Q-Sepharose
chromatography,
ion exchange chromatography and hydrophobic chromatography, and by other usual
methods such as ultrafiltration, crystallization, salting out, dialysis and
native gel
electrophoresis. Suitable methods are described, for example, in Cooper, T.G.,
Biochemische Arbeitsmethoden, Verlag Walter de Gruyter, Berlin, New York or in
Scopes, R., Protein Purification, Springer Verlag, New York, Heidelberg,
Berlin.
It is particularly advantageous for isolation of the recombinant protein to
use vector
systems or oligonucleotides which extend the cDNA by particular nucleotide
sequences
and thus code for modified polypeptides or fusion proteins which serve, for
example,


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
42
for simpler purification. Suitable modifications of this type are, for
example, so-called
tags which act as anchors, such as, for example, the modification known as
hexa-
histidine anchor, or epitopes which can be recognized as antigens by
antibodies
(described, for example, in Harlow, E. and Lane, D., 1988, Antibodies: A
Laboratory
Manual. Cold Spring Harbor (N.Y.) Press). These anchors can be used to attach
the
proteins to a solid support, such as, for example, a polymer matrix, which
can, for
example, be packed into a chromatography column, or can be used on a
microtiter plate
or another support.
These anchors can at the same time also be used for recognition of the
proteins. It is
also possible to use for recognition of the proteins conventional markers such
as
fluorescent dyes, enzyme markers which form a detectable reaction product
after
reaction with a substrate, or radioactive labels, alone or in combination with
the anchors
for derivatizing the proteins.
The invention additionally relates to a method for the microbiological
production of
vitamin B2 and/or precursors and/or derivatives thereof.
If the conversion is carried out with a recombinant microorganism, the
microorganisms
are preferably initially cultured in the presence of oxygen and in a complex
medium,
such as, for example, at a culturing temperature of about 20°C or more,
and at a pH of
about 6 to 9 until an adequate cell density is reached. In order to be able to
control the
reaction better, it is preferred to use an inducible promoter. The culturing
is continued
in the presence of oxygen for 12 hours to 3 days after induction of vitamin B2
production.
The following nonlimiting examples describe specific embodiments of the
invention.

General experimental details
a) General cloning methods
43
The cloning steps carried out for the purpose of the present invention, such
as, for
example, restriction cleavages, agarose gel electrophoresis, purification of
DNA
fragments, transfer of nucleic acids to nitrocellulose and nylon membranes,
linkage of
DNA fragments, transformation of E. coli cells, culturing of bacteria,
replication of
phages and sequence analysis of recombinant DNA, were carried out as described
by
Sambrook et al. (1989) loc. cit.
b) Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
PCR was carried out in accordance with a standard protocol with the following
standard
mixture:
8 NI of dNTP mix (200 NM), 10 Nl of Taq polymerase buffer (10 x) without
MgCl2, 8 NI
of MgCl2 (25 mM), 1 NI of each primer (0.1 ,uM), 1 ,u1 of DNA to be amplified,
2.5 U of
Taq polymerase (MBI Fermentas, Vilnius, Lithuania), demineralized water ad
100,u1.
c) Culturing of E. coli
The recombinant E. coli DHSa strain was cultured in LB-amp medium (tryptone
10.0 g,
NaCI 5.0 g, yeast extract 5.0 g, ampicillin 100 g/ml, H20 ad 1000 ml) at
37°C. For this
purpose, in each case one colony was transferred, using an inoculating loop,
from an
agar plate into 5 ml of LB-amp. After culturing for about 18 hours shaking at
a frequency
of 220 rpm, 400 ml of medium in a 2 I flask were inoculated with 4 ml of
culture.
Induction of P450 expression in E. coli took place after the fJD578 reached a
value
between 0.8 and 1.0 by heat-shock induction at 42°C for three to four
hours.

d) Purification of the required product from the culture
The required product can be isolated from the microorganism or from the
culture
supernatant by various methods known in the art. If the required product is
not secreted
by the cells, the cells can be harvested from the culture by slow
centrifugation, and the
cells can be lysed by standard techniques such as mechanical force or
ultrasound
treatment.
The cell detritus is removed by centrifugation, and the supernatant fraction
which
contains the soluble proteins is obtained for further purification of the
required
compound. If the product is secreted by the cells, the cells are removed from
the culture
by slow centrifugation, and the supernatant fraction is retained for further
purification.
The supernatant fraction from the two purification methods is subjected to a
chromatography with a suitable resin, with the required molecule either being
retained
on the chromatography resin, or passing through the latter, with greater
selectivity than
the impurities. These chromatography steps can be repeated if necessary, using
the
same or different chromatography resins. The skilled worker is proficient in
the selection
of suitable chromatography resins and their most effective use for a
particular molecule
to be purified. The purified product can be concentrated by filtration or
ultrafiltration and
be stored at a temperature at which the stability of the product is maximal.
Many purification methods are known in the art. These purification techniques
are
described, for example, in Bailey, J.E. & Ollis, D.F. Biochemical Engineering
Fundamentals, McGraw-Hill: New York (1986).
The identity and purity of the isolated compounds can be determined by prior
art
techniques. These comprise high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC),
spectroscopic methods, staining methods, thin layer chromatography, NIBS,
enzyme
assay or microbiological assays. These analytical methods are summarized in:

et al. (1994) Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 60:133-~ 40; Maiatcnova et ai. (~ X06)

e) General description of the MPSS method, clone identification and homology
search
The MPSS technology (Massive Parallel Signature Sequencing as described by
10 Brenner et al, Nat. Biotechnol. (2000) 18, 630-634; to which express
reference is
hereby made) was applied to the filamentous, vitamin B2-producing fungus
Ashbya
gossypii. It is possible with the aid of this technology to obtain with high
accuracy
quantitative information about the level of expression of a large number of
genes in a
eukaryotic organism. This entails the mRNA of the organism being isolated at a
15 particular time X, being transcribed with the aid of the enzyme reverse
transcriptase into
cDNA and then being cloned into special vectors which have a specific tag
sequence.
The number of vectors with a different tag sequence is chosen to be high
enough
(about 1000 times higher) for statistically each DNA molecule to be cloned
into a vector
which is unique through its tag sequence.
The vector inserts are then cut out together with the tag. The DNA molecules
obtained
in this way are then incubated with microbeads which possess the molecular
counterparts of the tags mentioned. After incubation it can be assumed that
each
microbead is loaded via the specific tags or counterparts with only one type
of DNA
molecules. The beads are transferred into a special flow cell and fixed there
so that it
is possible to carry out a mass sequencing of all the beads with the aid of an
adapted
sequencing method based on fluorescent dyes and with the aid of a digital
color
camera. Although numerically high analysis is possible with this method, it is
limited by
a reading width of about 16 to 20 base pairs. The sequence length is, however,
sufficient to make an unambiguous correlation between sequence and gene
possible
for most organisms (20 by have a sequence frequency of -1 x 10'2; compared
with this,
the human genome has a size of "only" --3 x 109 bp).


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
46
The data obtained in this way are analyzed by counting the number of identical
sequences and comparing their frequencies with one another. Frequently
occurring
sequences reflect a high level of expression, and sequences which occur singly
a low
level of expression. If the mRNA was isolated at two different time points (X
and Y), it
is possible to construct a chronological expression pattern of individual
genes.
Example 1:
Isolation of mRNA from Ashbya gossypii
Ashbya gossypii was cultured in a manner known per se (nutrient medium: 27.5
g/1
yeast extract; 0.5 g/1 magnesium sulfate; 50 m1/1 soybean oil; pH 7). Ashbya
gossypii
mycelium samples are taken at various times during the fermentation (24h, 48h
and
72h), and the corresponding RNA or mRNA is isolated therefrom according to the
protocol of Sambrook et al. (1989).
Example 2:
Application of the MPSS
Isolated mRNA from A, gossypii is then subjected to an MPSS analysis as
explained
above.
The sets of data found are subjected to a statistical analysis and categorized
according
to the significance of the differences in expression. This entailed
examination both in
relation to an increase and a reduction in the level of expression. A division
is made by
classifying the change in expression into a) monotonic change, b) change after
24 h,
and c) change after 48 h.
The 20 by sequences representing a change in expression and found by MPSS
analysis are then used as probes and hybridized with a gene library from
Ashbya
gossypii, with an average insert size of about 1 kb. The hybridization
temperature in this
case was in the range from about 30 to 57°C.


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
47
Example 3:
Construction of a genomic gene library from Ashbya gossypii
To construct a genomic DNA library, initially chromosomal DNA is isolated by
the
method of Wright and Philippsen (Gene (1991) 109: 99-105) and Mohr (1995, PhD
Thesis, Biozentrum Universitat Basel, Switzerland).
The DNA is partially digested with Sau3A. For this purpose, 6 Ng of genomic
DNA are
subjected to a Sau3A digestion with various amounts of enzyme (0.1 to 1 U).
The
fragments are fractionated in a sucrose density gradient. The 1 kb region is
isolated
and subjected to a QiaEx extraction. The largest fragments are ligated to the
BamHl-cut
vector pRS416 (Sikorski and Hieter, Genetics (1988) 122; 19-27) (90 ng of
BamHl-cut,
dephosphorylated vector; 198 ng of insert DNA; 5 ml of water; 2 ,u1 of 10x
ligatiori
buffer; 1 U ligase). This ligation mixture is used to transform the E. coli
laboratory strain
XL-1 blue, and the resulting clones are employed for identifying the insert.
Example 4:
Preparation of an ordered gene library (CHIP technology)
About 25,000 colonies of the Ashbya gossypii gene library (this corresponds to
approximately a 3-fold coverage of the genome) were transferred in an ordered
manner
to a nylon membrane and then treated by the method of colony hybridization as
described in Sambrook et al. (1989). Oligonucleotides were synthesized from
the 20 by
sequences found by MPSS analysis and were radiolabeled with 32P. In each case
10
labeled oligonucleotides with a similar melting point are combined and
hybridized
together with the nylon membranes. After hybridization and washing steps,
positive
clones are identified by autoradiography and analyzed directly by PCR
sequencing.
In this way, a clone which harbors an insert with the internal name "Oligo 28"
and has
significant homology with the MIPS tag "Yta7" or TBP7 from S. cerevisiae was

An analysis of the resulting nucleic acid sequences, i.e. their functional
assignment to
5 a functional amino acid sequence took place by means of a BLASTX search in
sequence databases. Almost all of the amino acid sequence homologies found
related
to Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast). Since this organism had already
been
completely sequenced, more detailed information about these genes could be
referred
to under:
10 http~//www mips 4sf de/proLyeast/search/code search.htm .

Example 6:
Isolation of full-len4th DNA
a) Construction of an A. gossypii gene library
High molecular weight cellular complete DNA from A. gossypii was prepared from
a
2-day old 100 ml culture grown in a liquid MA2 medium (10 g of glucose, 10 g
of
peptone, 1 g of yeast extract, 0.3 g of myo-inositol ad 1000 ml). The mycelium
was
filtered off, washed twice with distilled H20, suspended in 10 ml of 1 M
sorbitol, 20 mM
EDTA, containing 20 mg of zymolyase 20T, and incubated at 27°C, shaking
gently, for
to 60 min. The protoplast suspension was adjusted to 50 mM Tris-HCI, pH 7.5,
150 mM NaCI, 100 mM EDTA and 0.5% strength sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and
30 incubated at 65°C for 20 min. After two extractions with
phenol/chloroform (1:1 vol/vol),
the DNA was precipitated with isopropanol, suspended in TE buffer, treated
with
RNase, reprecipitated with isopropanol and resuspended in TE.

An A. gossypii cosmid gene library was produced by binding genomic DNA which
had
been selected according to size and partially digested with Sau3A to the
dephosphorylated arms of the cosmid vector Super-Cos1 (Stratagene). The Super-
Cos1 vector was opened between the two cos sites by digestion with Xbal and
dephosphorylation with calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase (Boehringer),
followed by
opening of the cloning site with BamHl. The ligations were carried out in 20
,u1,
containing 2.5,ug of partially digested chromosomal DNA, 1 Ng of Super-Cost
vector
arms, 40 mM Tris-HCI, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.5 mM ATP and
2 Weiss units of T4-DNA lipase (Boehringer) at 15°C overnight. The
ligation products
were packaged in vitro using the extracts and the protocol of Stratagene
(Gigapack II
Packaging Extract). The packaged material was used to infect E. coli NM554
(recAl3,
araD139, a(ara,leu)7696, a(~ac)17A, galU, galK, hsrR, rps(st~'), mcrA, mcrB)
and
distributed on LB plates containing ampicillin (50,ug/m1). Transformants
containing an
A. gossypii insert with an average length of 30-45 kb were obtained.
b) Storage and screening of the cosmid gene library
In total, 4 x 104 fresh single colonies were inoculated singly into wells of
96-well
microtiter plates (Falcon, No. 3072) in 100 ,u1 of LB medium, supplemented
with the
freezing medium (36 mM K2HP04/13.2 mM KH2P04, 1.7 mM sodium citrate, 0.4 mM
MgS04, 6.8 mM (NH4)2S04, 4.4% (w/v) glycerol) and ampicillin 1,50 Ng/ml),
allowed to
grow at 37 °C overnight with shaking, and frozen at -70°C. The
plates were rapidly
thawed and then duplicated in fresh medium using a 96-well replicator which
had been
sterilized in an ethanol bath with subsequent evaporation of the ethanol on a
hot plate.
Before the freezing and after the thawing (before any other measures) the
plates were
briefly shaken in a microtiter shaker (Infors) in order to ensure a
homogeneous
suspension of cells. A robotic system (Bio-Robotics) with which it is possible
to transfer
small amounts of liquid from 96 wells of a microtiter plate to nylon membrane
(GeneScreen Plus, New England Nuclear) was used to place single clones on
nylon
membranes. After the culture had been transferred from the 96-well microtiter
plates
(1920 clones), the membranes were placed on the surface of LB agar with
ampicillin

0000052814
57
(50,ug/ml) in 22 x 22 cm culture dishes (Nunc) and incubated at 37°C
overnight. Before
cell confluence was reached, the membranes were processed as described by
Herrmann, B. G., Barlow, D. P. and Lehrach, H. (1987) in Cell 48, pp. 813-825,
including as additional treatment after the first denaturation step a 5-minute
exposure
of the filters to vapors on a pad impregnated with denaturation solution on a
boiling
water bath.
The random hexamer primer method (Feinberg, A. P, and Vogelstein, B. (1983),
Anal.
Biochem. 132, pp. 6-13) was used to label double-stranded probes by uptake of
[alpha-
32P]dCTP with high specific activity. The membranes were prehybridized and
hybridized
at 42°C in 50% (vol/vol) formamide, 600 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.2, 1
mM EDTA,
10% dextran sulfate, 1 % SDS, and 10x Denhardt's solution, containing salmon
sperm
DNA (50 Ng/ml) with 32P-labeled probes (0.5-1 x 1 Oscpm/ml) for 6 to 12 h.
Typically,
. washing steps were carried out at 55 to 65°C in 13 to 30 mM NaCI, 1.5
to 3 mM sodium
citrate, pH 6.3, 0.1 % SDS for about 1 h and the filters were autoradiographed
at -70°C
with Kodak intensifying screens for 12 to 24 h. To date, individual membranes
have
been reused successfully more than 20 times. Between the autoradiographies,
the
filters were stripped by incubation at 95°C in 2 mM Tris-HCI, pH 8.0,
0.2 mM EDTA,
0.1 % SDS for 2 x 20 min.
c) Recovery of positive colonies from the stored gene library
Frozen bacterial cultures in microtiter wells were scraped out using sterile
disposable
lancets, and the material was streaked onto LB agar Petri dishes containing
ampicillin
(50,ug/ml). Single colonies were then used to inoculate liquid cultures to
produce DNA
by the alkaline lysis method (Birnboim, H. C. and Doly, J. (1979), Nucleic
Acids Res. 7,
pp. 1513-1523).
d) Full-length DNA
It was possible as described above to identify clones which harbor an insert
with the
appropriate complete sequence. These clones have the internal names given
below:

Example 7:
Detection of a modulating effect of Oligo 18 on vitamin B2 production
In order to test whether integration of DNA in the vicinity of the potential
reading frame
of oligo 18 has adverse effects on riboflavin synthesis, a DNA fragment was
integrated
by means of homologous recombination into the genome of the Ashbya gossypii
strain
used (Ashbya TEF promoter + 6418 resistance gene - cf. figure 1 ).
Transformation took
place by electoporation in a manner known per se. Positive transformants were
identified by PCR using the primer pair shown in figure 1. One transformant in
which
specific integration into this locus was detectable was investigated for
vitamin B2
production both in shaken flask experiments and in laboratory fermentations.
It emerged
that integration of this DNA fragment brought about an increase (of about 3%)
in
riboflavin production. The information in the TEF-6418 construct cannot have
been the
reason. It is therefore concluded that there is a position effect.

Shaken flask experiments for riboflavin determination:
10 ml of preculture medium (9.5 ml [9.5 g] of medium + 0.5 ml soybean oil) in
a 100-ml
2-baffle Erlenmeyer flask are inoculated with 0.5 ml of a glycerol culture or
with about
5 one inoculating loop of mycelium from a 5-day old, well grown SP agar plate,
and
shaken at 180 rpm (cabinet shaker, excursion 2.5 cm) and 28°C for 40
hours.
1.1 ml of this culture are used to inoculate 25.7 ml of main culture medium
(21.2 ml
[21.2 g] of medium, 1 ml of urea [10 g/45 ml] + 3.5 ml [3.2 g] of soybean oil,
final
10 volume = 26.8 ml, of which 4.4 ml compensates for evaporation during
shaking without
humidification) or 21.8 ml of main culture medium (17.3 ml [17.3 g] of medium,
1 ml of
urea [10 g/45 ml] + 3.5 ml [3.2 g] of soybean oil, final volume = 22.9 ml, of
which 0.5 ml
compensates for evaporation during shaking in an environment without
artificial
humidification) in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask and shaken at 220 rpm (industrial
shaker,
15 excursion 5 cm) or 300 rpm (cabinet shaker, excursion 2.5 cm) and
28°C for 5 days.
0.5 ml of the main culture is vigorously shaken with 4.5 ml [5 g] of a 40%
strength
nicotinamide solution (dilution factor 10) or 0.25 ml with 4.75 ml [5.27 g] of
a 40%
strength nicotinamide solution (dilution factor 20) in a test tube and
incubated in a water
20 bath at 70°C for about 2 x 20 minutes (cells lyzed, shaking in
between). After cooling,
40 ~I are put in a macro dispersible cuvette, mixed with 3 ml of deionized
water and
measured as quickly as possible in a photometer, because vitamin B2 decomposes
very
rapidly. This entails measurement of the extinctions at 402, 446 and 550 nm
and
calculation as follows:
V=(W1 -W2xC+W3x(C-1)):(B1 -B2xC)
with
B1 - 17.36 [constant]
B2 - 31.15 [constant]
K - cuvette volume in ml (standard = 3.04 mll
P _ sample volume in ml [standard = 0.04 mll
F - dilution factor [standard = 10, i.e. 0.5 ml : 5 rnlJ


CA 02458953 2004-02-27
0000052814
61
C - correction factor [(550-405)/(550-450) = 1.45]
W 1 - extinction at 402 nm
W2 - extinction at 446 nm
W3 - extinction at 550 nm
-> V = (W 1 - 1.45W2 + 0.45W3) : -27.8075
Vitamin B2 concentration = V x K : P x F
=Vx3.04:0.04x10
= V x 760
With these values it is also necessary to take account of the evaporation of
the medium
during the shaking:
G1 - weight of the flask immediately after inoculation
G2 - weight of the flask before sampling
KV1 = volume of the medium with compensation for evaporation
[22.4 m! + 4.4 ml = 26.8 ml]
KV2 = volume of the medium [22.4 ml]
BZ - the previously calculated, uncorrected vitamin B2 concentration
Vitamin B2 concentration (corrected) _ ((KV1 - (G1 - G2)) : KV2) x B2
= ((26.8 - (G1 - G2)) : 22.4) x B2
The A. gossypii nucleic acid sequence found could on the basis of the above
observations be assigned the function of a protein for modulating the vitamin
B2
productivity.
