DESCRIPTION
METHOD FOR ANALYZING GENES OF INDUSTRIAL YEASTS

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a method analyzing
genes of an industrial yeast used for the production of an
alcoholic beverage such as beer or sake, a fuel alcohol,
etc. and particularly for genes of brewing yeast used for

the production of an alcoholic beverage. More
particularly, it relates to a method where, in the
production of an alcoholic beverage, DNA sequence
information of brewing yeast is compiled in a database so

that the gene which involves in increase in productivity
and/or improvement in flavor such as stabilization,
reinforcement, etc. of the flavor is selected; a method for
breeding yeast suitable for the brewing in which expression
of a gene is controlled, such as yeast in which the
selected gene is disrupted or'yeast in which the gene is

overexpressed; and a method for the production of an
alcoholic beverage using the bred yeast.

Background Art

Development of techniques for production of fuel
alcohols, alcoholic beverages such as beer or sake, etc.
has been carried out using industrial yeast. Especially in
the production of an alcoholic beverage using brewing
yeast, there has been a brisk development in the techniques
1


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
for increasing productivity and improving flavor such as
stabilization or enhancement of flavor of an alcoholic
beverage.

The most consumed alcoholic beverage in the world is
beer and the amount of beer produced in the world in 2001
was about 140,000,000 kL. Type of beer i,s roughly

classified into three depending upon types of yeast and
fermentation methods. The three types are, naturally
fermented beer where fermentation is carried out utilizing

yeast and microorganisms inhabiting in breweries; ale-type
beer where fermentation is carried out using a top
fermenting yeast belonging to Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(hereinafter, abbreviated as S. cerevisiae) at the
temperature of 20 to 25 C and the following aging period is

shortened; and lager-type beer where fermentation is
carried out using a bottom fermenting yeast belonging to
Saccharomyces pastorianus at the temperature of 6 to 15 C
and then subjected to a low-temperature aging. At present,
not less than 90% of the beer produced in the world is a

lager-type beer and, therefore, the bottom fermenting yeast
that is used for brewing of the lager-type beer has been
most widely used in beer brewing.

In the so-called fermentation production where
production is carried out using a microorganism including
the above-mentioned brewing yeast, it is important that the

fermentation process is optimized and that the useful
strain is selected and bred, in order to increase
productivity and improve quality of the product.

2


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
In the case of optimization of beer brewing, a method
where an amount of yeast metabolites such as alcohol (e.g.
ethanol), ester, organic acid, etc. are monitored, and then
temperature, quantity of airflow, content of raw material,

etc. are controlled, has been conducted. In such a case,
material uptake and excretion by yeast cells and metabolism
in the cells are handled as a black box and only very
superficial control is carried out. In addition, for the
purpose of giving, for example, high flavor to an alcoholic*

beverage, a process controling method to suppress the
amount of oxygen supply during beer brewing or the like has
been tried. In such a method, however, growth rate of the
yeast itself is reduced due to insufficient oxygen, and

adverse effects such as retardation of fermentation and/or
deterioration of beer quality may arise. Accordingly,
there has been a limit on the improvement in productivity
and quality of beer by means of optimization of
fermentation processes.

On the other hand, with regard to a method of breeding
useful industrial yeast such as useful beer yeast, a
technique for selecting a desirable strain has widely been
used rather than actual breeding. Beer brewing per se has
been performed since well before the discovery of
microorganisms by Pasteur. In the beer brewing, a method

of selecting a more suitable strain of beer yeast from many
strains of yeast used in the beer brewery has been
traditionally carried out while there have been few cases
where beer yeast with good traits is positively bred.

3


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
As an example of a positive breeding method, there is
a method where artificial mutagenesis by chemicals or
radioactive rays is used. However, brewing yeast,
particularly a bottom fermenting yeast which is widely used

in beer brewing, is in many cases a polyploid. In that
case, it is not possible to produce a desired mutant unless
mutation takes place in all of the alleles to be mutated.
Accordingly, although it is possible to induce a desirable
mutation in the case of a haploid laboratory yeast, it is

substantially impossible in the case of beer yeast which is
a polyploid.

In recent years, a breeding where mutation or cross-
breeding is carried out by using spores isolated from
bottom fermenting yeast (c.f.., for example, Non-Patent

Document 1) has been tried. However, the bottom fermenting
yeast is a polyploid, and has complicated chromosome
structure. Therefore, isolation of spores having a
proliferation ability is difficult, and moreover, it is

almost impossible to obtain a strain with good traits from
them.

On the other hand, it has recently become possible
that desired genes are introduced and expressed in the
brewing yeast using a genetic engineering technique,
whereby it has become possible to breed yeast with the

desired character by using the results of functional
analysis of genes and the genes which have been
functionally analyzed. However, as compared with the
baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae; c.f., for example, Non-Patent
4


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
Document 2) of which the whole genome sequence is already
clarified, the genome sequence of the bottom fermenting
yeast has not been clarified and there have been only a
very few findings about the bottomfermenting yeast specific

gene involved in brewing character specific to bottom
fermenting yeast and about the function of the said gene
during beer brewing.

In recent years, transcriptome analysis has been
conducted using DNA array where DNA fragments or nucleotide
oligomers, each of which has a partial sequence of

structural genes or internal regions of the chromosomes are
fixed on solid support. For example, Olesen, et al.
conducted a comprehensive genetic expression analysis of
bottom fermenting yeast during the brewing using

GeneFilters (manufactured by Research Genetics Co.)(c.f.,
for example, Non-Patent Document 3). However, since the
genome sequence of bottom fermenting yeast has not been
clarified yet, it is ambiguous that which gene is monitored

for its expression precisely. Thus, the information about
bottom fermenting yeast is quite insufficient to apply to
metabolic analysis, and to breeding of useful yeast, and to
control of beer brewing process.

At present, the whole genome sequences of more than
100 species of microorganisms have been determined (c.f.,
for example, Non-Patent Document 6) including S.

cerevisiae, Escherichia coli (c.f., for example, Non-Patent
Document 4) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (c.f., for
example, Non-Patent Document 5). On the basis of the

5


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
determined DNA sequences, genes of these microorganisms are
identified and function of an enormous number of genes have
been predicted without conducting genetic, biochemical or
molecular biological experiments. However, industrial

yeast such as brewing yeast which has high ploidy and a
complicated chromosome structure, and thus an assembly (an
operation for connecting the DNA sequences) is presumed to
be difficult. Therefore, the genome sequence of bottom
fermenting yeast which contains two different types of

genome (c.f., for example, Non-Patent Document 7) has not
been reported yet.

In the production of specific alcohols or alcoholic
beverages, there is a technique to increase concentration
of sulfite in the product for the control of flavor.

Sulfite is known as a compound which has anti-oxidative
activity, and has been widely used as an antioxidant in the
fields of food, beverage and pharmaceuticals, and also in
an alcoholic beverage. For example, in the case of wine
that requires a long aging period, sulfite plays an

important role for the preservation of its quality. It is
also known that, in beer brewing, the quality preservation
period becomes long in accordance with the increase in
concentration of sulfite contained in the product. Thus,
when the amount of sulfite in the product is increased, it

is possible to prepare a product that has excellent flavor
stability and a long quality preservation period.

The simplest way to increase the amount of sulfite in
the product is addition of sulfite. In Japan, so far as

6


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
wine is concerned, it is permitted by the Ministry of
Health, Labor and Welfare to add sulfite to an extent of
not more than 350 ppm in terms of residual sulfite
concentration. In that case, however, since sulfite is

categorized as,food additives, it is not desirable to add
sulfite to beer when a negative image of consumers to food
additives is taken into consideration.

However, the yeast used in brewing produces hydrogen
sulfide by the reduction of sulfate in the medium in order
to synthesize sulfur-containing metabolites such as sulfur-
containing amino acids. Sulfite is an intermediate

metabolite of this pathway. If sulfite is efficiently
excreted outside of the cells during fermentation period,
it is possible to increase the amount of sulfite both in
the wort and in the product.

There are two methods for increasing sulfite
concentration in the wort during fermentation. One is to
control a fermentation process and another is to breed
brewing yeast. As for the control of fermentation process,

the amount of sulfite produced during fermentation is
inversely proportional to the concentration of dissolved
oxygen and, therefore, there has been an attempt of a
method where the concentration of dissolved oxygen is
reduced so that the amount of sulfite is increased and at

the same time the oxidation of sulfite is suppressed.
However, in that method, growth rate of yeast is reduced
due to the lack of oxygen, which has negative effects such

7


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
as retardation of fermentation and deterioration of
quality. Therefore that method is not practical.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, a genetic
engineering technique has been developed for breeding

brewing yeast. For example, there are some reports focused
on sulfur metabolism of yeast. Sulfite (S02) is an
intermediate product of sulfur-containing amino acid and
vitamin synthesis and is produced via a pathway of sulfate
ion (S042-) - APS (adenyl sulfate) - PAPS (phosphoadenylyl

sulfate )- sulfite ion ( S032- ) where the sulfate ion is
incorporated from outside of the cells. There is an
attempt in which copy numbers of MET 3 gene participating
in the reaction of sulfate ion ( SO4a- 2-APS (adenylyl
sulfate) and of MET 14 gene participating in the reaction

of APS (adenylyl sulfate) - PAPS (phosphoadenylyl sulfate)
are increased to improve the ability of the yeast for the
production of sulfite (c.f., for example, Non-Patent
Document 8). There is another example of an attempt where
reduction of sulfite ion (S032-) is inhibited by the

disruption of MET 10 gene whereby amount of sulfite
produced by the yeast is increased (c.f., for example, Non-
Patent Document 9). According to such attempts, the amount
of sulfite produced by an MET 10 gene disruptant is

increased to an extent of not less than ten-fold of the
parental strain , but on the other hand, some retardation
in fermentation and increase in the amounts of acetaldehyde
and 1-propanol in the beer are noted, which has become a
problem for the practical use.

Accordingly, although~development of breeding methods
for industrial yeast such as brewing yeast using genetic
engineering have been in progress, it is the current status
that, due to insufficient genomic information of brewing

yeast, selection of the brewing yeast specific gene ----
involved in a brewing character of brewing yeast, analysis

of function of protein encoded by the gene and utilization
of those findings for breeding have not been sufficiently
carried out.

Thus, a method for breeding yeast which shows the
desired character without deterioration of fermentation
speed and product quality has not been established yet and

there has been a big demand for the development of such a
method not only in the brewing industry but also in the
industries where the yeast is used.

manner that a database compiling the genome sequence

(hereinafter, may be abbreviated as genomic DB) of
industrial yeast, particularly brewing yeast used for an
alcoholic beverage such as beer, is prepared; gene that the
brewing yeast possesses is selected from the database;

disruption or overexpression. Another object of the
present invention is to provide a DNA array which is useful
for an analyzing method of genes of an industrial yeast.
Further object is to provide a breeding method of the yeast

said genes.

It has been known that brewing yeast widely used for
industrial purpose is a polyploid and especially, bottom
fermenting yeast is an allopolyploid which is composed of
at least two kinds of genomes. One of the genomes is

thought to be a genome derived from S. cerevisiae of which
the whole genome sequence has been clarified, while the
source of another genome(s) has not been clarified yet.

The present inventors have analyzed the genome
sequence of the bottom fermenting yeast in order to find
unidentified genes displaying essential functions for
excellent brewing. The amino acid sequences of the bottom
fermenting yeast were then compared with those registered

in the genomic DB for S. cerevisiae, and functions of
proteins encoded by genes of the brewing yeast were
estimated. As a result, it has been clarified that the
genes of the bottom fermenting yeast are roughly classified
into Sc type genes showing nearly 100% amino acid identity

to those of S. cerevisiae and non-Sc type genes showing
around 70 to 97% amino acid identify (this corresponds to
around 60 to 94% identity in nucleotide level). Moreover,
it has been clarified that the bottom fermenting yeast has
a complicated chromosome structure consists of Sc-type

chromosomes, non-Sc-type chromosomes and Sc/non-Sc-type
chimera chromosomes. Structure of the whole chromosomes of
the bottom fermenting yeast is shown in Fig. 1. On the
basis of genomic information clarified by the present

and shown as Signal Log Ratio (2n). Signal Log Ratios were

lined following gene order in Chromosome XVI. The non-Sc
type genes do not hybridize to this Sc type array,
therefore, the points (indicated by arrows) where the
Signal Log Ratios show vigorous changes were considered to
be translocation sites.

present invention.

(A) Analysis of nucleotide sequence of the genome
sequence of industrial yeast

If the genome sequence of a target industrial yeast is
not determined, "anayzing" at the step (a) can maen
determining the genome sequence of industrial yeast. In
the present specification, the "genome sequence" means the
whole genome sequence or a part of the genome sequence.

If the genome sequence of a target industrial yeast is
determined, "anayzing" in step (a) can mean obtaining
information regarding the genome sequence of a target
industrial yeast from an appropriate source, for example,

from a publicly available database.

Determination of the genome sequence of an industrial
yeast can be achieved by any conventional methods. For
example, it includes the steps of (a) genomic DNA is
prepared from yeast, (b) shotgun library and (c) cosmid



CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
library are prepared from those genomic DNA, (d) DNA
fragments to be used for determination of DNA sequence are
prepared from those library clones, (e) DNA sequence of the
library DNA fragments is determined by a sequence reaction

and (f) the sequences of those DNA fragments are assembled
to reconstruct the genome sequence. Both or either one of
(b) shotgun library and (c) cosmid library may be prepared
for this purpose.

There is no particular limitation for the methods used
for (a) to (f) and the method may be conducted according to
the known means, while preferred method for each of them is
mentioned below.

(a) Preparation such as extraction, purification, etc.
of the genomic DNA is preferably carried out in accordance
with the known methods, for example, in "Yeast, a practical
approach (IRL Press, 6.2.1, p. 228)" and

"Seibutukagakujikkennhou, No. 39, Experiments in Yeast
Molecular Genetics (edited by Yasuharu Oshima, Gakkai
Shuppan Center, pages 84 to 85, 1996)". The specific

examples of the preferred method for the preparation of DNA
are mentioned below.

Yeast cells for the preparation of genomic DNA are
cultured by a common method. With regard to a medium, any
of natural and synthetic media may be used so far as the

medium contains carbon source, nitrogen source, inorganic
salt, etc. which are able to be metabolized by the yeast,
whereby cultivation of the microorganism can be efficiently
carried out. For example, YPD medium (2% (w/w) glucose, 1%

31


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
(w/w) yeast extract and 2% (w/w) polypeptone) may be used.
With regard to a method of incubation, incubation by
shaking at about 25 to 35 C through the night is
recommended.

After the cultivation, cells are recovered from the
culture medium by centrifugation. The resulting cell
pellet is washed with a washing solution. Example of the
washing solution is buffer A (50 mM sodium phosphate, 25 mM
EDTA and 1% (v/v) (3-mercaptoethanol; pH 7.5), etc.

Preparation of the genomic DNA from the washed cells may be
carried out according to a common preparation method of
genomic DNA where cell walls are lysed using Zymolyase and
SDS; protein, etc. are removed using a phenol and
phenol/chloroform solution; and genomic DNA is precipitated

using ethanol or the like. To be more specific, the
following method may be exemplified.

Cultivated cells are washed and resuspended in buffer
A, then about 5 to 10 mg of Zymolyase 100T (Seikagaku
Kogyo) are added and the mixture is gently shaken at about

25 to 40 C for about 30 minutes to 2 hours. After the
shaking, buffer containing SDS such as buffer B (0.2 M
Tris-HC1, 80 mM EDTA and 1% SDS; pH 9.5) is added thereto
and the mixture is allowed to stand at about 60 to 70 C for
about 30 minutes to lyse the cells. After that, the cell

lysate is cooled on ice, mixed with 5 M potassium acetate
and allowed to stand on ice for about 60 minutes further.
The resulting solution is centrifuged (for example, at
5,000 g for 10 minutes at 15 C) to take supernatant. The

32


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
same volume of ethanol is added to the supernatant to
precipitate DNA and the mixture is immediately centrifuged
(for example, at 5,000 g for 10 minutes at 15 C) to obtain
DNA. The resulting precipitate is washed with 70% (v/v)

ethanol, subjected to natural drying and dissolved in a
solution such as TE buffer (10 mM Tris-HC1 and 1 mM EDTA;
pH 8.0) to give a crude genomic DNA solution. Cesium
chloride and bisbenzimide are added to and dissolved in the
crude genomic DNA solution, the mixed solution is subjected

to an ultracentrifugal separation (for example, at 100,000
g for 17 hours at 25 C), irradiation with UV light is
conducted so that the DNA bands are visualized and the
lower band is recovered. Bisbenzimide is removed by
extracting the recovered DNA solution with isopropanol

which is saturated with cesium chloride solution, then 4-
fold by volume of 0.3 M sodium acetate are added to the
recovered aqueous layer followed by mixing and the DNA is
precipitated by ethanol and recovered by centrifugation.
The recovered DNA is treated with RNase and extracted with

phenol/chloroform and DNA is purified from the recovered
aqueous layer by precipitation with ethanol again. The
precipitate recovered by centrifugation is washed with 70%
(v/v) ethanol, subjected to natural drying and dissolved in
a TE buffer to prepare the genomic DNA solution.

(b) Preparation of a shotgun library

As to a method for the preparation of a genomic DNA
library using the genomic DNA of yeast prepared in the
above (a), a method mentioned in "Molecular Cloning, A

33


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
Laboratory Manual, Third Edition (2001)" (hereinafter,
abbreviated as "Molecular Cloning, Third Edition") may be
used and, with regard to a method for the preparation of a
shotgun library which is particularly suitable for the

determination of the genome sequence, the following method
may be exemplified.

A TE buffer is added to the genomic DNA prepared in
(a) and the genomic DNA is fragmented using Hydroshear
(manufactured by GeneMachines) or the like. Terminal of

the genome fragment is blunted using a DNA Blunting Kit
(manufactured by Takara Shuzo) or the like, and
fractionated by means of an agarose gel electrophoresis.
Then, genome fragments of about 1.5 to 2.5 kb are excised
from the gel and a buffer for the elution of DNA such as an

MG-elution buffer (0.5 mol/L ammonium acetate, 10 mmol/L
magnesium acetate, 1 mmol/L EDTA and 0.1% SDS) or the like
is added to the gel followed by shaking at about 25 to 40 C
through the night to elute DNA. The DNA eluate is treated
with phenol/chloroform and precipitated with ethanol to

give a genomic library insert. All of the above-mentioned
insert and an appropriate vector such as pUC 18 SmaI/BAP
(manufactured by Amersham Biosciences) are subjected to
ligation using T4 ligase (manufactured by Takara Shuzo) at
about 10 to 20 C for about 20 to 50 hours. The ligation

reaction product is precipitated with ethanol and the
resulting recombinant vector DNA is dissolved in an
appropriate amount of TE buffer. By means of
electroporation or the like, the recombinant vector DNA is

34


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
transformed to Escherichia coli such as an Electro Cell
DH5a strain (manufactured by Takara Shuzo). It is
recommended that the electroporation is carried out under
the condition mentioned in the attached experimental

manual.

The transformants into which recombinant vector
containing the genomic DNA fragments is inserted are
selected on an appropriate selective medium. For example,
when pUC 18 SmaI/BAP is used as a vector, the transformants

form white colonies on an LB plate medium (an LB medium (10
g/L of bactotryptone, 5 g/L of yeast extract and 10 g/L of
sodium chloride; pH 7.0) which contains 1.6% of agar)
containing about 0.01 to 0.1 mg/mL of ampicillin, about 0.1
mg/mL of X-gal and about 1 mmol/L of isopropyl-(3-D-

thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) upon incubation through the
night at about 30 to 37 C and, therefore, the selection is
easy. The transformants are cultured in LB medium
containing about 0.1 mg/mL of ampicillin through the night
at about 30 to 37 C using a 384-well titer plate, a 50%

aqueous solution of glycerol in the same volume as the LB
is added thereto and the mixture is stirred to give a
glycerol stock. Usually, the glycerol stock can be
preserved at about -80 C.

(c) Preparation of a cosmid library

The genomic DNA prepared in (a) is subjected to a
partial digestion using an appropriate restriction enzyme
such as Sau3AI (manufactured by Takara Shuzo). It is
possible to insert the DNA fragment digested by Sau3AI into



CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
a BamHI site of a cosmid vector such as Super CosI vector
(manufactured by Stratagene). The treatment with the
restriction enzyme and the ligation may be carried out
according to the protocol attached thereto. The ligated

product obtained by such a method is subjected to a
packaging using, for example, Gigapack III Gold
(manufactured by Stratagene), and according to the manual
for the experimental procedure attached thereto, it is
introduced into Escherichia coli such as an XL1-Blue MR

strain (manufactured by Stratagene). That is spread on an
LB plate medium containing ampicillin and incubated through
the night at about 30 to 37 C to get transformants. The
resultant transformants are cultured in LB medium
containing about 0.1 mg/mL of ampicillin through the night

at about 30 to 37 C using a 96-well titer plate, a 50%
aqueous solution of glycerol in the same volume as the LB
is added thereto and the mixture is stirred to give a
glycerol stock. Usually, the glycerol stock can be
preserved at about -80 C.

(d) Preparation of DNA fragment for determination of
DNA sequence

The genome sequence of industrial yeast can be
determined mainly using the genome shotgun method. The DNA
fragment of which DNA sequence is determined can be

prepared by a PCR using the shotgun library prepared in the
above (b). To be specific, clone of the genome shotgun
library is inoculated using a replicator (manufactured by
Gene Solution) to a 384-well titer plate where about 50p.l

36


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
each of an ampicillin-containing LB medium is placed to
each well and cultured without shaking through the night at
about 30 to 37 C. The culture is transferred using a
replicator (manufactured by Gene Solution) or the like to a

384-well reaction plate (manufactured by AB Gene) where
about 10p1 each of a reaction solution for PCR (TaKaRa Ex
Taq manufactured by Takara Shuzo) is placed, and PCR is
carried out according to a protocol by Makino, et al. (DNA
Research, volume 5, pages 1 to 9 (1998)) or the like using

a GeneAmp PCR System 9700 (manufactured by Applied
Biosystems) or the like, whereupon amplification of the
inserted fragment is carried out.

Excessive primer and nucleotide are removed using a
kit for the purification of PCR products (manufactured by
Amersham Bioscience), etc. and a sequence reaction is

carried out using the sample as a template.
Determination of the genome sequence can also be
performed by preparing and using a cosmid library. Cosmid
DNA from the cosmid library of (c) can be prepared by the

following method. That is, clone derived from cosmid
library is inoculated to each well of a 96-well plate where
about 1.0 mL each of an ampicillin-containing appropriate
medium such as a 2 x YT medium (1.6% bactotryptone, 1%
yeast extract and 0.5% sodium chloride; pH 7.0) is placed

and cultured with shaking through the night at about 30 to
37 C. Cosmid DNA from the said culture can be prepared
using KURABO PI-1100 AUTOMATIC DNA ISOLATION SYSTEM
(manufactured by KURABO) according to a manual of KURABO or

37


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
the like, and they can be used as templates for sequencing
reaction.

(e) Sequencing reaction

A Sequencing reaction can be carried out using a
commercially available sequence kit, etc. Preferred
examples of the present invention are shown below.

A sequence reaction mixture can be prepared as
follows. The PCR product or cosmid DNA prepared in the
above (d) is mixed with about 2Rl of DYEnamic ET

Terminator Sequencing Kit (manufactured by Amersham
Bioscience) and appropriate primers to give about 8 1 of
reaction mixture. An M13 forward (M13-21) primer and an M13
reverse (M13RV) primer (manufactured by Takara Bio), etc.
are used for the sequence reaction of a PCR product derived

from shotgun DNA, while a forward primer such as SS-cos F.1
(SEQ ID NO: 7) and a reverse primer such as SS-cos R.1 (SEQ
ID NO: 8), etc. are used for cosmid DNA. Amounts of the
primer and the DNA fragment are about 1 to 4 pmole and
about 50 to 200 ng, respectively.

A dye terminator sequence reaction of about 50 to 70
cycles can be carried out using the reaction solution and
GeneAmp PCR System 9700 (manufactured by Applied
Biosciences). When a commercially available kit such as
DYEnamic ET Terminator Sequencing Kit is used, a cycle

parameter follows a manual attached thereto. Purification
of the sample is carried out according to the manual of
Millipore using MultiScreen HV plate (manufactured by
Millipore), etc. The purified reaction product is

38


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
precipitated with ethanol and the resulting precipitate is
dried and stored in a dark place of about 4 C. The dried
product is analyzed using commercially available sequencer
and analyzer such as MegaBACE 1000 Sequencing System

(manufactured by Amersham Bioscience) and ABI PRISM 3700
DNA Analyzer (manufactured by Applied Biosystems), etc.
according to the manuals attached thereto.

(f) Reconstruction of genome sequence by means of
assembly (A process whereby the order of multiple sequenced
DNA fragments is determined)

Reconstruction of genomic DNA may be carried out from
sequence information of DNA fragments obtained in the above
(e). All operations of the reconstruction of genomic DNA
sequence can be carried out on an UNIX platform. Base

call can be conducted by a software such as phred (The
University of Washington) or the like, masking of vector
sequence can be carried out by a software such as Cross
Match (The University of Washington) or the like and

assembly can be carried out by a software such as Phrap
(The University of Washington) or the like. Contig
obtained as a result of assembly can be analyzed using a
graphical editor such as consed, a graphical editor (The
University of Washington) or the like. A series of works
from base call to assembly can be carried out en bloc

utilizing phredPhrap, a script attached to the consed.

(B) Comparison of the genome sequence of the industrial
yeast with that of S. cerevisiae

39


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
Optionally, comparison of the genome sequence obtained
in (A) with that of S. cerevisiae can be carried out by any
known means for comparing two sequences. It may include
(g) Preparation of a comparative database compiling the

comparison data of each of DNA sequences of both ends of
cosmid and shotgun clone and contig with S. cerevisiae
genome sequence, and mapping of them on S. cerevisiae
genome sequence.

Widely used industrial yeast such as bottom fermenting
yeast (S. pastorianus) has been regarded as a natural
hybrid of S. cerevisiae and its closely related species
(such as S. bayanus) "Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. volume 35,
pages 508-511 (1985)". In this view, DNA sequences of the
both ends of cosmid clone prepared in (e) are subjected to

a homology searching against S. cerevisiae genome sequence
by a homology searching algorithm, whereupon the homologous
region and the identity of each DNA sequence to S.
cerevisiae genome sequence can be determined, thus database
can be prepared.

The S. cerevisiae genome sequences are accessible
from public available data bank, such as, Saccharomyces
Genome Database (SGD: http://genome-
www.stanford.edu/Saccharomyces/).The percent identity of
two amino acid or two nucleic acid sequences can be

determined by visual inspection and mathematical
calculation, or more preferably, the comparison is done by
comparing sequence information using a computer program.
An exemplary, preferred computer program is the Genetics



CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
Computer Group (GCG; Madison, WI) Wisconsin package version
10.0 program, 'GAP' (Devereux et al., 1984, Nuci. Acids
Res. 12: 387). The preferred default parameters for the
'GAP' program includes: (1) The GCG implementation of a

unary comparison matrix (containing a value of 1 for
identities and 0 for non-identities) for nucleotides, and
the weighted amino acid comparison matrix of Gribskov and
Burgess, Nucl. Acids Res. 14:6745, 1986, as described by
Schwartz and Dayhoff, eds., Atlas of Polypeptide Sequence

and Structure, National Biomedical Research Foundation,

pp. 353-358, 1979; or other comparable comparison matrices;
(2) a penalty of 30 for each gap and an additional penalty
of 1 for each symbol in each gap for amino acid sequences,
or penalty of 50 for each gap and an additional penalty of

3 for each symbol in each gap for nucleotide sequences; (3)
no penalty for end gaps; and (4) no maximum penalty for
long gaps. Other programs used by those skilled in the art
of sequence comparison can also be used, such as, for
example, the BLASTN program version 2Ø9, available for

use via the National Library of Medicine website
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gorf/wblast2.cgi, or the WU-BLAST 2.0
algorithm. Standard default parameter settings for WU-
BLAST 2.0 are described at the following Internet site:
sapiens.wustl.edu/blast/blast/#Features. In addition, the

BLAST algorithm uses the BLOSUM62 amino acid scoring matix,
and optional parameters that can be used are as follows:
(A) inclusion of a filter to mask segments of the query
sequence that have low compositional complexity (as

41


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
determined by the SEG program of Wootton and Federhen
(Computers and Chemistry, 1993); also see Wootton and
Federhen, 1996, Analysis of compositionally biased regions

in sequence databases, Methods Enzymol. 266: 554-71) or

segments consisting of short-periodicity internal repeats
(as determined by the XNU program of Claverie and States
(Computers and Chemistry, 1993)), and (B) a statistical
significance threshold for reporting matches against

database sequences, or E-score (the expected probability of
matches being found merely by chance, according to the
stochastic model of Karlin and Altschul (1990); if the
statistical significance ascribed to a match is greater
than this E-score threshold, the match will not be
reported.); preferred E-score threshold values are 0.5, or

in order of increasing preference, 0.25, 0.1, 0.05, 0.01,
0.001, 0.0001, le-5, 1e-10, le-15, le-20, le-25, le-30, le-
40, le-50, le-75, or le-100.

An example of identity percentages distribution graph
of cosmid DNA sequence corresponding to S. cerevisiae

genomic DNA sequence is shown in Fig. 2. The DNA sequence
of cosmid is roughly classified into a DNA sequence group
showing more than 94% identity to S. cerevisiae genome
sequence and a DNA sequence group showing around 84%
identity thereto. Accordingly, a DNA sequence having

identity of more than 94% to the nucleotide sequence of the
gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is named an Sc-type DNA
sequence derived from S. cerevisiae. While a DNA sequence
having 94% or less identity, more preferably,60 to 94%

42


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
i.dentity, most preferably around 84% identity to the
nucleotide sequence of the gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
is named a non-Sc-type DNA sequence derived from a closely-
related species of S. cerevisiae. A gene with the Sc type

DNA sequence or the non-Sc type DNA sequence is named Sc
type gene or non-Sc type gene, respectively.

Similarly, a comparative database of the DNA sequence
of both ends of shotgun clone prepared in (e) with genomic
DNA sequence of S. cerevisiae is prepared. On the basis of
the information obtained from the prepared comparative

database, a mapping of cosmid clone and shotgun clone on S.
cerevisiae genome sequence is carried out (refer, for
example, to Fig. 3). A comparative database of the DNA
sequence of the contig prepared in (f) with S. cerevisiae

genome sequence is also prepared and mapping is carried
out. Although the mapping technique is nearly the same as
that mentioned above, when contigs linked by paired
forward-reverse DNA sequence from the same cosmid and
shotgun clone, those contigs are linked (refer, for

example, to Fig. 4).

identity to the nucleotide sequence of the gene of
Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

A stage for the selection of the gene of bottom
fermenting yeast encoding an amino acid sequence having 70
to 97% identity to an amino acid sequence encoded by the

gene of S. cerevisiae may include (h) a process of
identification of ORF (open reading frame) and assignment
of function.

(h) Identification of ORF and assignment of its
function

Identification of ORF in the DNA sequence assembled in
(f) is carried out. Preferred examples are specifically
mentioned below. With regard to a certain length of DNA
sequence (such as not less than 150 base) embraced by

15= initiation codon and termination codon, there can be
carried out identification of ORF existing in a DNA
sequence assembled in (f) using a program, such as ORF
finder (http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/gorf/gorf.html) or the like
for the identification of ORF for six kinds of reading

frames including complementary sequence.

Assignment of function of protein encoded by the
identified ORF can be carried out using a homology
searching such as BLAST

(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/) or the like to an

amino acid sequence of ORF of S. cerevisiae that has been
registered and published in the Saccharomyces Genome
Database (SGD: http://genome-
www.stanford.edu/Saccharomyces/). If necessary, it is

44


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
possible to analyze the chromosomal structure of an
industrial yeast by DNA array-based comparative genomic
hybridization and PCR. In the Example 8 in the present
specification, the choromosome structure of the S.

pastorianus strain 34/70 was analyzed by using a DNA array
containing the DNA probes of known S. cerevisiae nucleotide
sequences.

Yeast genomic DNA is prepared using a Quiagen Genomic
Tip 100/G (#10243) and Qiagen Genomic DNA Buffer Set

(#19060) according to the manual attached to the kit. The
DNA (e.g., 10 Rg) is digested with DNase I (manufactured by
Invitrogen) according to a method of Winzeler, et al.
(Science, volume 281, pages 1194-1197 (1998)), biotinylated
using a terminal transferase (manufactured by Roche) and

hybridized to a DNA array (Affymetrix Gene Chip Yeast
Genome S98 Array). The DNA array contains the DNA probes
of known S.,cerevisiae nucleotide sequences. Hybridization
and detection of the signal intensity of the DNA array are
carried out using a Gene Chip Analysis Basic System and

analysis soft ware (Microarray Suite 5.0) manufactured by
Affymetrix.

The signal of each probe hybridized with the DNA of
brewing yeast is normalized to that of the haploid
laboratory yeast strain S288C using an analysis soft ware

(Microarray Suite 5.0) and shown as signal log ratio (2n).
Signal log ratios were lined following genes order in each
chromosome using a spreadsheet program (Microsoft Excel
2000) and the signal log ratios are shown in bar graphs



CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
(refer, for example, to Fig. 5). The non-Sc type genes do
not hybridize to the S. cerevisiae array, therefore, the Sc
type gene dosage affects the signal log ratio and the
points where the signal log ratios show vigorous changes

are considered to be translocation sites between Sc type
and non-Sc type chromosome.

The chimera chromosome structure can be confirmed by
PCR, wherein a genomic DNA derived from brewing yeast is
used as a template and Sc type and non-Sc type shotgun

sequences are used as primers.

PCR may be carried out using a Takara PCR Thermal
Cycler SP according to the attached manual using a Takara
LA TaqTM and a buffer attached thereto.

As a result of the PCR, it is confirmed by 0.8%

agarose gel electrophoresis, for example, that a certain
length of DNA fragment is amplified from the brewing yeast.
When a genomic DNA of S. cerevisiae which is a laboratory
strain is used as a template for the PCR, no amplification
of DNA fragment is detected. If DNA sequences of the both

ends of the DNA fragment amplified from the brewing yeast
are further confirmed, it is consistent with the genome
sequences determined by a shotgun method and it can be
confirmed that, within such region, translocation between
Sc type and non-Sc type chromosome takes place, whereupon a

chimera chromosome is formed.

Alternatively, a gene of the industrial yeast
consisting of a nucleotide sequence having 60 to 94%
identity to the nucleotide sequence of the gene of

46


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be selected. Identity of 60
to 94o in nucleotide sequence level corresponds
approximately 70 to 97% in amino acid sequence level. Some
nucleotide sequences in non-Sc type chromosome other than

open reading frames may have identity of less than 60% to
the corresponding nucleotide sequences of Sc type
chromosome.

(D) Functional analysis of the selected genes

Further, selected genes may optionally be subjected
to functional analysis. For example, functional analysis
of gene may include (i) selection of the gene, (i') cloning
of the gene, (j) functional analysis of the gene by
disruption or (k) functional analysis of the gene by

overexpression.

(i) Selecting of the gene

There is no particular limitation for the methods
used for the selection of gene(s) for functional analysis.
While preferred methods are, for example, a method using

the assignment of the function obtained in the above (h)
and a method using a DNA array as described below.

One of the purposes of the present invention is to
identify genes from industrial yeasts involved in increase
of productivity'and/or improvement in flavor in the

production of an alcohol or an alcoholic beverage. The
whole genome sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been
identified, and function of each gene of Saccharomyces
cerevisiae has already been identified. As mentioned above

47


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
for the step (h), functions of proteins encoded by the non-
Sc type genes can be assigned by a homology searching.
Non-Sc type genes which are expected from the assignment to
have an useful activity, e.g., involved in increase of

productivity and/or improvement in flavor in the production
of an alcohol or an alcoholrpp:erage, are selected as
v~ __

target genes for functional anaYysis.~--
'------- -
For example, the SSU1 gene and the MET14 gene are
known to have the sulfite transporting activity, and the
adenylsulfate kinase activity, respectively. Both genes

are known to play an important role for stabilizing flavor
of beer. Other genes from the Sc gene analysis which are
known to play some role in a step of producing beer are
listed in Table 2 in the following Example 7. These genes,

however, do not exert sufficient activity enough for
producing tasty beer. Therefore, without any limitation,
for the purpose of identifying genes from industrial yeasts
involved in increse of productivity and/or improvement in
flavor in the production of an alcohol or an alcoholic

beverage, non-Sc genes corresponding to these Sc type genes
can be selected.

Alternatively, the method using DNA array is, for
example, gene expression analysis to identify genes, which
show a characteristic expression profile under some

conditions, or comparative genomic hybridization to
identify genes, which have different copy numbers or
different DNA sequences, by detecting deference of signal
intensities of probes.

48


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
(i') cloning of the gene

Genes selected in the above (i) can be obtained from
the bottom fermenting yeast according to a common method
mentioned, for example, in Molecular Cloning, Third

Edition. That is, oligonucleotides having sequences
adjacent to the gene are synthesized and a common PCR
cloning method is carried out using a genomic DNA prepared
from a bottom fermenting yeast as a template, whereupon the
selected gene can be isolated and obtained. With regard to

DNA sequences obtained as such, for example, SEQ ID NO: 1
may be listed.

When the gene is named, for example, a gene(1), the
gene (1) or primer for amplifying the gene (1) by a PCR
method may be also synthesized using a polynucleotide

synthesizer on the basis of the above-mentioned sequence
information.

In addition, gene (1) means not only a DNA fragment
having the same DNA sequence as gene (1) but also a DNA
fragment hybridizing to the above gene under stringent

condition as is defined in the present specification.
The DNA fragment which hybridizes under stringent
condition means a DNA fragment which is obtained by a
colony hybridization method, a plaque hybridization method,

a southern blot hybridization method or the like, using the
DNA fragment containing the sequence of the gene (1)
identified in the above as a probe.

The term "under stringent condition" means that two
nucleic acid fragments can hybridize under a moderately
49


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
stringent condition or a highly stringent condition. An
artisan can easily choose an appropriate moderately or
highly stringent condition.

The basic parameters affecting the choice of

hybridization conditions and guidance for devising suitable
conditions are set forth by Sambrook,, Fritsch, and
Maniatis (2001, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual,
third edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold
Spring Harbor, N.Y., chapters 6 and 7; and Current

Protocols in Molecular Biology, 1995, Ausubel et al., eds.,
John Wiley & Sons, Inc., sections 2.10 and 6.3-6.4), and
can be readily determined by those having ordinary skill in
the art based on, for example, the length and/or base
composition of the DNA.

One way of achieving moderately stringent conditions
involves the use of a prewashing solution containing 5 x
SSC, 0.5% SDS, 1.0 mM EDTA (pH 8.0), hybridization buffer
of about 50% formamide, 6 x SSC, and a hybridization

temperature of about40-55 C (or other similar hybridization
solutions, such as one containing about 50% formamide, with
a hybridization temperature of about 42 C), and washing

conditions of about 60 C, in 0.5 x SSC, 0.1% SDS.
Preferably, a moderately stringent condition may include
hybridization at about 50 C and 2 X SSC.

Highly stringent conditions can also be appropriately
selected based on factors like length of DNAs to be
hybridized. Generally, such conditions include
hybridization and/or washing at higher temperature and/or



CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
lower salt concentration (such as hybridization at about
65 C, 6 X SCC-0.2 X SSC, preferably, 6 X SCC, more
preferably 2 X SSC, most preferably, 0.2 X SSC), compared
to the moderately stringent condition. For example, highly

stringent conditions may include hybridization as defined
above, and washing at approximately 68 C, 0.2 x SSC, 0.1%
SDS. SSPE (1xSSPE is 0.15M NaCl, 10 mM NaH2 PO4,
and 1.25 mM EDTA, pH 7.4) can be substituted for SSC (1xSSC
is 0.15M NaCl and 15 mM sodium citrate) in the

hybridization and wash buffers; washes are performed for 15
minutes after hybridization is complete.

It should be understood that the wash temperature and
wash salt concentration can be adjusted as necessary to
achieve a desired degree of stringency by applying the

basic principles that govern hybridization reactions and
duplex stability, as known to those skilled in the art and
described further below (see, e.g., Sambrook et al., 2001).
When hybridizing a nucleic acid to a target nucleic acid of
unknown sequence, the hybrid length is assumed to be that

of the hybridizing nucleic acid. When nucleic acids of
known sequence are hybridized, the hybrid length can be
determined by aligning the sequences of the nucleic acids
and identifying the region or regions of optimal sequence
complementarity.

The hybridization temperature for hybrids anticipated
to be less than 50 base pairs in length should be 5 to

25 C, preferably 5 to 10 C less than the melting temperature
(Tm) of the hybrid, where Tm is determined according to the
51


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
following equations. For hybrids less than 18 base pairs
in length, Tm ( C) = 2(number of A + T bases) + 4(number of
G + C bases). For hybrids above 18 base pairs in length, Tm
( C) = 81.5 + 16.6(loglo [Na+] ) + 0.41(% G + C) - 0.63(%

formamide - (500/N), where N is the number of bases in the
hybrid, and [Na+] is the concentration of sodium ions in
the hybridization buffer ([Na+] for 1xSSC = 0.165M).
Preferably, each such hybridizing nucleic acid has a length
that is at least 15 nucleotides (or more preferably at

least 18 nucleotides, or at least 20 nucleotides, or at
least 25 nucleotides, or at least 30 nucleotides, or at
least 40 nucleotides, or most preferably at least 50
nucleotides), or at least 25% (more preferably at least
50%, or at least 60%, or at least 70%, and most preferably

at least 80%) of the length of the nucleic acid of the
present invention to which it hybridizes, and has at least
60% sequence identity (more preferably at least 70%, at
least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at
least 95%, at least 97.5%, or at least 99%, and most

preferably at least 99.5%) with the nucleic acid of the
present invention to which it hybridizes, where sequence
identity is determined by comparing the sequences of the
hybridizing nucleic acids when aligned so as to maximize
overlap and identity while minimizing sequence gaps as

described in more detail above.

The hybridization may be carried out according to a
method mentioned in "Molecular Cloning, Third Edition",
"Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons
52


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
(1987-1997) (hereinafter, abbreviated as Current Protocols
in Molecular Biology), "DNA Cloning 1: Core Techniques, A
Practical Approach, Second Edition, Oxford University

(1995)", and the like.

To be more specific, shotgun clone containing full-
length of the above-mentioned gene (1) can be retrieved
using the comparative database obtained in (g) and, on the
basis of homology and positional information, etc. When
there is no clone containing full-length of the gene in the

shotgun library, a DNA fragment encoding the full length of
the gene is prepared by a PCR method. For example, a DNA
fragment containing the above-mentioned gene is obtained
using synthetic DNA primer pair represented by SEQ ID NO:
13 and SEQ ID NO: 14, etc. Similarly, PCR is carried out

using a primer pair designed on the basis of the published
information of SGD and using genomic DNA of S. cerevisiae
or bottom fermenting yeast as a template, whereupon the
full length of the Sc type gene corresponding to the non-Sc
type gene is prepared. For example, using synthetic

oligonucleotides of SEQ ID NO: 15 and NO: 16 as the primer
pair, the DNA fragment containing the Sc type gene can be
obtained.

Sc or non-Sc type DNA fragment prepared as mentioned
above is inserted into, for example, pCR 2.1-TOPO vector
attached to a TA cloning kit (Invitrogen) using a TA

cloning kit or the like, whereupon a recombinant vector
TOPO/Sc gene and TOPO/non-Sc gene containing the DNA
fragment having the Sc and the non-Sc type gene,

53


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
respectively, are able to be prepared. DNA sequences of
the Sc and non-Sc type DNA fragments can be comfirmed by
Sanger's method "F. Sanger, Science, volume 214, page 1215,
1981".

(j) Functional analysis of the gene by disruption
Functional analysis of the selected non-Sc gene may be
performed by disruption of the gene, for example.
Functional analysis by disruption of the gene can be done
by any known conventional methods. In the present

specification, "method for disruption of a gene" includes
any methods which stop, block, inhibit or suppress at least
part of function of the gene, including deletion of the
gene, blocking of the gene by antisense nucleic acid, RNAi
method or the like. As an example, we will explain

disruption of the non-Sc SSU1 gene, which has been
identified by the present invention.

According to a method of the document Goldstein, et
al., Yeast, volume 15, page 1541, (1999)", it is possible
to prepare a DNA fragment for gene disruption by PCR where

a plasmid containing a drug-resistance gene (such as pFA 6a
(G418r), pAG 25 (natl)) is used as a template. As a primer
pair for the PCR, non-ScSSU1_for (SEQ ID NO: 17)/non-
ScSSU1_rv (SEQ ID NO: 18) or the like may be used for the
non-ScSSUl disruption. While for the Sc SSU1 disruprion,

ScSSU1_for (SEQ ID NO: 19)/ScSSU1_rv (SEQ ID NO: 20) or the
like may be used. For the non-Sc type gene disruption, it
is also possible to use a plasmid such as pPGAPAUR (AUR1-C)
54


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
and a primer pair such as non-ScSSUl_for + pGAPAUR (SEQ ID
NO: 21)/non-ScSSU1_rv + AURI-C (SEQ ID NO: 22).

An industrial yeast is transformed with the DNA
fragment for the gene disruption prepared by the above-

mentioned method. The transformation may follow a method
mentioned in the Japanese Patent Laid-Open Gazette No.
07/303,475, for example. Further, the concentration of the
drug for the selection of transformants may be
appropriately determined by investigating the sensitivity
of the yeast used as a host.

With regard to the transformant prepared here, it is
comfirmed whether each of the drug-resistance genes is
introduced and the said gene is disrupted correctly using a
Southern analysis. To be specific, the genomic DNA

extracted from the parental strain and the transformant are
firstly digested by an appropriate restriction enzyme to
distinguish Sc and non-Sc type gene (for example, at 37 C
for 18 hours), then fractionated with 1.5% agarose gel
electrophoresis and transferred to a membrane. After that,

they are hybridized to a probe specific to an Sc-type or a
non-Sc type gene for example at 55 C for 18 hours according
to a protocolof Alkphos Direct Labelling Reagents
(Amersham) and a signal is detected by CDP-Star.

The function of the gene obtained in (i') can be

studied by fermentation test using a parental strain and
non-Sc SSU1 disruptants prepared in the above (j) and
comparison of their fermentation character. Fermentation



CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
test can be carried out, for example, using wort under the
following condition.

Original extract: about 10 to 15%
Fermentation scale: 1 to 3 liters

Dissolved oxygen concentration: about 8 to 10 ppm
Fermentation temperature: about 15 C

Pitching rate: about 4 to 6 g of wet yeast cells/ L
Wort is periodically sampled and monitored in the cell
growth (OD 600), apparent extract, the concentration of the

substance relating to the function of the gene obtained in
(i'), etc. then, analyzed.

For example, when the function of the gene obtained in
(i') involved in discharge of sulfite, the sulfite
concentration in the wort during the fermentation is

analyzed. Quantitative analysis of sulfite is carried out
in such a manner that sulfite is captured in a hydrogen
peroxide solution by means of distillation under an acidic
condition and subjected to titration with an alkali
(Revised Method for BCOJ Beer Analysis by the Brewing

Society of Japan).

As candidates for useful genes involved in increase of
productivity and/or improvement in flavor in the production
of an alcohol or an alcoholic beverage, we may select genes
wherein cell growth, apparent extract, and/or the

concentration of the substance relating with the function
of the gene were substantially changed by disruption of the
gene. Especially, the change in the concentration of the

56


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
substance participating in the function of the gene is
important and should be monitored.

The "substance relating with the function of the gene"
includes, without any limitation, sulfite, ethanol, ester
and fusel alcohol or the like. Substances, which are

considered to have a negative effect on production of tasty
beer, can also be a target of analysis, including diacetyl
and phenolic compounds or the like.

(k) Functional analysis of the gene by overexpression
Alternatively, functional analysis of a gene can be
achieved by overexpression of the gene.

A DNA fragment containing the full-length of the non-
Sc type gene is excised by an appropriate restriction
enzyme from the plasmid TOPO/non-Sc gene prepared in (i').

The DNA fragment is inserted into a cloning site of a
vector for gene expression such as pNI-NUT to construct a
vector (pYI-non-Sc type gene) for overexpression of the
non-Sc type gene. The vector pNI-NUT contains URA3 as a
homologous recombination site and nourseothricin-resistance

gene (natl) and ampicillin-resistance gene (Ampr) as
selective markers. On the other hand, a vector for
overexpression of the Sc type gene (pNI-Sc type gene) has a
structure where the above-mentioned pYI-non-Sc type gene is
substituted by the corresponding Sc type gene. For

overexpression of the Sc or non-Sc type gene introduced
here, it is preferred to be driven by promoter and
terminator of constitutively expressing gene, for example,
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (TDH3).

57


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
An industrial yeast is transformed using the
overexpression vector, which is prepared by the above-
mentioned method. The transformation is carried out by the
method mentioned in the Japanese Patent Laid-Open Gazette

No. 07/303,475 and transformants are selected on an
appropriate selective medium. Confirmation of the
overexpression may be carried out by RT-PCR method, etc.
Extraction of the total RNA may be carried out using an
RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) or the like, according to the

manual of "for total RNA isolation from yeast" attached to
the kit. Regarding the SSul gene, for example, it is
possible to use ScSSUl_for331 (SEQ ID NO: 23)/ScSSUl_982rv
(SEQ ID NO: 24) and nonSc-SSU1_for329 (SEQ ID NO:
25)/nonSc-SSU1_981rv (SEQ ID NO: 26) as specific

primerpairs for the amplification of Sc and non-ScSSUl
gene, respectively.

To amplify a constitutively expressed gene, for example
PDA1, as an internal standard, PDA1_forl (SEQ ID NO:
27)/PDA1_730rv (SEQ ID NO: 28) etc. may be used as a

specific primer pair. PCR product is fractionated with
1.2% agarose gel electrophoresis and detected with ethidium
bromide staining. The overexpression of the said gene in
the transformant is confirmed by comparison of quantity of
the PCR products.

The functional analysis of the gene obtained in (i')
can be carried out by a fermentation test using the
parental strain and the overexpressed strain prepared in

58


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
the above (k). Fermentation test may be carried out under
the condition mentioned in (j).

According to the same method mentioned in (j), the
wort is periodically sampled and monitored the cell growth
5(OD600), apparent extract and the concentration of the

substance relating with the function of the gene obtained
in (i').

As candidates for useful genes involved with increase
in productivity and/or improvement in flavor in the

production of an alcohol or an alcoholic beverage, we may
select genes wherein cell growth, apparent extract, and/or
the concentration of the substance relating with the
function of the gene were substantial:ly changed by
overexpression of the gene. Especially, the change in the

concentration of the substance relating with the function
of the gene is important and should be monitored.

The "gene" and the "gene library" of the present
invention can encompass not only genes in the form of
chemical substance(s), but also in a form of nucleic acid

II. DNA array

Embodiments of the present DNA array

The present invention also provides a DNA array which
is useful for an analyzing method of genes. "Genes" which
61


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
can be analyzed by using the DNA array of the present
invention may include genomic DNA, cDNA or cRNA or the like
of an industrial yeast. The present DNA array can also be
applied to the ChIP (Chromatin Immuno-Precipitation)-chip

method for analyzing binding between DNA and a protein.
The DNA array of the present invention comprises
probe(s) of DNA(s) based on the nucleotide sequences of
non-Sc genes which have been identified by the present
invention. In the present specification, DNA

oligonucleotide or cDNA which is fixed on a DNA array is
sometimes called "probe".

Preferably, the DNA array of the present invention
comprises one or more of DNAs, wherein each DNA is selected
from at least one group of (1) to (4):

Another embodiment of the DNA array of the present
invention is that of further comprising, in addition to at
least one group of DNAs selected from (1) to (4), DNAs of
the following (5) and/or (6):

(5) DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence of an open
reading frame of the genome sequence of an industrial yeast
which encodes an amino acid sequence having identity of
more than 97% to an amino acid sequence encoded by the gene

64


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or a nucleotide sequence
complementary to the above nucleotide sequence, or a
nucleotide sequence of continuous 10 or more nucleotides

selected from the above nucleotide sequences; and

(6) DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence of the
genome sequence of an industrial yeast other than from open

having identity of more than 94% to the nucleotide sequence
of the gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or a nucleotide

sequence complementary to the above nucleotide sequence, or
a nucleotide sequence of continuous 10 or more nucleotides
selected from the above nucleotide sequences.

DNAs of (5) correspond to ORF of Sc genes, and DNAs of
(6) correspond to non-coding regions of Sc genes,

respectively. The DNA array comprising DNAs of (5) and/or
(6) in addition to DNAs of any of (1) to (4), is useful for
a method of classifying an industrial yeast, for example.

In a preferred embodiment, the DNAs of (5) has a
nucleotide sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 75337 to

82784, or SEQ ID NOs: 82785 to 166153. SEQ ID NOs: 75337
to 82784 correspond to ORF encoding non-SC proteins of the
present invention. SEQ ID NOs: 82785 to 166153 are short
nucleotide sequences of about 25 continuous nucleotides
selected from each of SEQ ID NOs:33 to 6236.

In a preferred embodiment, the DNA array comprises
DNAs selected from the group of (1) and/or (2), together
with DNAs selected from the group of (5) and/or (6).
Hybridization intensity of a sample to a DNA probe of (1)



CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
is compared to the corresponding DNA probe of (5).
Similarly, hybridization intensity of a sample to a DNA
probe of (2) is compared to the corresponding DNA probe of
(6).

Optionally, the present DNA array of this embodiment
may further comprise DNAs of the following (5') and/or
(6'):

(5') DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence which
contains mismatch of 1 or more base(s) to the DNA of (5),
or a nucleotide sequence complementary to the above
nucleotide sequence; and

(6') DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence which
contains mismatch of 1 or more base(s) to the DNA of (6),
or a nucleotide sequence complementary to the above

nucleotide sequence.

As described above, DNAs of (5) correspond to ORF of
Sc genes, and DNAs of (6) correspond to non-coding regions
of Sc genes, respectively. DNAs of (5') and (6') contain
mismatch of one or more base(s), preferably one base to (5)

and (6), respectively. In general, a sample of DNAs shows
a different hybridization intensity to a probe having
mismatch of one or more base(s) in the DNA array
hybridization assay. In a preferred embodiment, if a
sample DNA hybridizes to a DNA probe of (5) (or (6)) and

does not hybridize to the corresponding DNA probe of (5')
(or (6')), it can be concluded that the sample DNA is
positive as regards the DNA probe of (5) (or (6)) of Sc
type gene. On the contrary, if a sample DNA hybridizes to

66


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
a DNA probe of (5) (or (6)) but also hybridizes to the
corresponding DNA probe of (5') (or (6')), it can be
concluded that the sample DNA is negative or pseudopositive
as regards the DNA probe of (5) (or (6)) of Sc type gene.

Accordingly, DNAs of (5') and/or (6') may be
optionally used as DNA probes of the present DNA array for
determining and confirming hybridization specificity of a
sample to the DNAs of (5) and/or (6).

Still another aspect of the DNA array of the present
invention is that of further comprising, in addition to at
least one group of DNAs selected from (1) to (4), DNAs

selected from at least one group of (7) to (10):

(7) DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence which

contains mismatch of 1 or more base(s) to the DNA of (1),
or a nucleotide sequence complementary to the above
nucleotide sequence;

(8) DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence which
contains mismatch of 1 or more base(s) to the DNA of (2),
or a nucleotide sequence complementary to the above
nucleotide sequence;

(9) DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence which
contains mismatch of 1 or more base(s) to the DNA of (3),
or a nucleotide sequence complementary to the above

nucleotide sequence; and

(10) DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence which
contains mismatch of 1 or more base(s) to the DNA of (4),
67


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
or a nucleotide sequence complementary to the above
nucleotide sequence.

In general, a sample of DNAs shows a different
hybridization intensity to a probe having mismatch of one

or more base(s) in the DNA array hybridization assay. This
type of DNA array, therefore, is useful for detecting a
nucleotide polymorphism in genome of an industrial yeast.
It can also be useful for the method to screen a useful
strain of industrial yeast or useful genes themselves.

In a preferred embodiment, the DNAs of (7) to (10)
includes mismatch of only one base. That is, the DNAs of
(7) and (10) are the following DNAs of (7-1) to (10-1),
respectively.

(7-1) DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence which
contains mismatch of 1 base to the DNA of (1), or a
nucleotide sequence complementary to the above nucleotide
sequence;

(8-1) DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence which
contains mismatch of 1 base to the DNA of (2), or a

nucleotide sequence complementary to the above nucleotide
sequence;

(9-1) DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence which
contains mismatch of 1 base to the DNA of (3), or a
nucleotide sequence complementary to the above nucleotide
sequence; and

(10-1) DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence which
contains mismatch of 1 base to the DNA of (4), or a

68


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
nucleotide sequence complementary to the above nucleotide
sequence.

Preferably, mismatch of one base is at the center or
near the center of each DNA.

One of the most preferred embodiments of the present
DNA array comprises at least one group of DNAs selected
from (1) to (4) (preferably (1) and/or (2)), at least one
group of DNAs selected from (7) to (10) (preferably (7)
and/or (8)), DNAs of (5) and/or (6) and DNAs of (5') and/or

(6'). The DNA array of this embodiment is especially
useful for the present method to classify an industrial
yeast, as well as a method to analyze the chromosomal
structure of an industrial yeast by DNA array-based
comparative genomic hybridization as discussed in the

present specification below. Preferably, at least one
group of DNAs selected from (7) to (10), and DNAs of (5')
and/or (6') has a mismatch of only one base.

Probes which are attached to the DNA arrays of the
present invention can be cDNA probes or oligonucleotids.
There is no limitation to the length of cDNA probes, but

preferably, no longer than 1,000 bases. Oligonucleotide
probes range form about 5 to about 50 nucleotides,
preferably, 10-30 nucleotides.

Production of a DNA array of this invention

A DNA array of the present invention can be produced
based on the DNA sequence information of the ORFs and/or
non-coding regions (intergenic DNA sequence between two
ORFs) obtained in the above (f). Examples include a DNA
69


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
array comprising a solid support to which at least one of a
polynucleotide comprising the DNA sequence obtained in the
above items ( f ) .

DNA arrays of the present invention include substrates
known in the art, such as a DNA microarray, a DNA chip,
polynucleotide array and a DNA macroarray, or the like, and
comprises a solid support and plural polynucleotides of
fragments thereof which are adhered to the surface of the
solid support. As the polynucleotides or oligonucleotides

adhered to the solid support, the polynucleotides or
oligonucleotides of the present invention obtained in the
above (f) and (h) can be used.

The analysis described below can be efficiently
performed by adhering the polynucleotides or

oligonucleotides to the solid support at a high density,
though a high fixation density is not always necessary.
Apparatus for achieving a high density, such as an arrayer
robot or the like, is commercially available from Takara
Shuzo (GMS417 Arrayer), and the commercially available

product can be used. Also, the oligonucleotide of the
present invention can be synthesized directly on the solid
support by the photolithography method or the like (Nat.
Genet. 21, 20-24 (1999)). In this method, a linker having a
protective group which can be removed by light irradiation

is first adhered to a solid support, such as slide glass or
the like. Then, it is irradiated with light through a mask
(a photolithograph mask) permeating light exclusively at a
definite part of the adhesion part. Next, an



CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
oligonucleotide having a protective group which can be
removed by light irradiation is added to the part. Thus, a
ligation reaction with the nucleotide arises exclusively at
the irradiated part.

By repeating this procedure, oligonucleotides each
having a desired sequence and different from each other can
be synthesized in respective parts. Usually, the
oligonucleotides to be synthesized have a length of 10 to
30 nucleotides.

Alternatively, cDNA probes which can be prepared by
any known conventional methods based on the nucleotide
sequences of mRNA obtained from the industrial yeast can be
used. A cDNA probe is fixed to the DNA array after it has
been prepared. Examples of general methods for preparing

and fixing the cDNA probes to the DNA array are explained
in "Science volume 270, pages 467-470 (1995)", for example.
There is no particular limitation for the methods used
for the production of DNA array and the method may be

conducted according to the known means, while preferred
method for each of them is mentioned below.

(1) Production of a DNA array
(1)-1 Solid support

Any materials of which the polynucleotids or
fragments can be adhere to the surface can be used as the
solid supports using the invention DNA array. There is no

particular limitation for the material and shape used for
the solid support, while preferred materials are some

71


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
resinoids, such as polycarbonate, plastics or the like, as
a material and a plate-like and film-like as a solid.

(l)-2 Selection of an oligonucleotide

The example of oligonucleotides to be fixed on the
plate of a DNA array of this invention are as follows.
Based on the DNA sequences of ORFs obtained in the above
(h) and/or intergenic DNA sequences deduced from the above
(h), unique and perfect complementary probes (PM Probe;
Perfect Match Probe) against genome sequence of brewing

yeast can be designed using a certain method of probe
production, such as GeneChip (Affymetrix) technology or
the like.

The oligonucleotide probes range form about 5 to about
100 nucleotides, preferabaly about 5 to about 80

nucleotides, preferably about 5 to about 60 nucleotides,
more preferably about 5 to about 50 nucleotides, more
preferably from about 5 to about 45 nucleotides, still more
preferably from about 10 to about 40 nucleotides and most
preferably from about 10 to 30 nucletides in length.


Particularly preferred arrays contain probes ranging from
about 20 to about 25 oligonucleotides in length. The array
may comprise more than 10, preferably more than 50, more
preferably more than 100, and most preferably more than

1000 oligonucleotide probes specific to the each target
gene (Where the array refers to the DNA array to be fixed
the oligonucleitide probes using a certain method of probe
production, such as GeneChip (Affymetrix) technology or

72


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
the like). In a preferred embodiment, the array comprises
at least 10 different oligonucleotide probes for each gene.
In another preferred embodiment, the array 20 or fewer
oligonucleotides complementary each gene.

Widely used industrial yeast such as bottom fermenting
yeast (S. pastorianus) has been regarded as a natural
hybrid of S. cerevisiae and its closely related species
(such as S. bayanus) as described above. So the bottom
fermenting yeast has at least two different genes whose DNA

sequences are similar to each other. Thereby, it is
desirable to remove probes that hybridize to transcription
products of more than one gene. One can then remove any
probes that are similar to any other genes, and make a
probe set for that genes using a certain method of probe

production, such as GeneChip (Affymetrix) technology or
the like)

The array may further comprise mismatch control
probes. Where such mismatch control probes are present,
the quantifying step may comprise calculating the

difference in hybridization signal intensity between each
of the oligonucleotide probes and its corresponding
mismatch control probe. The quantifying may further
comprise calculating the average difference in

hybridization signal intensity between each of the

oligonucleotide probes and its corresponding mismatch
control probe. The term mismatch probe refer to the probe
whose sequence is deliberately selected not to be perfectly
complementary to a particular target sequences. For each

73


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
mismatch (MM) control in a high-density array, there
typically exists a corresponding perfect match (PM) probe
that is perfectly complementary to the same particular
target sequence. The mismatch may comprise one or more

bases, preferably one base.

While the mismatch(es) may be located anywhere in the
mismatch probe, terminal mismatche is less desirable as a
terminal mismatch is less likely to prevent hybridization
of the target sequences. In a particularly preferred

embodiment, the mismatch is located at or near the center
of the probe so that the mismatch is most likely to
destabilize the duplex with the target sequence under the
optimal hybridization conditions. Preferably, the mismatch
is adenine (A) to thymine (T) and vice versa, or guanine

(G) to cytosine (c) and vice versa.

Numbers of nucleotides of these oligonucleotides are
not limited, but 10 to 30 nucleotides are preferable. 8-51
probes for each locus can be designed focusing on 3' prime
side of each locus as the use of probes sets for each locus

provided redundancy in the detection and analysis of the
data, can reduce the potentially confounding effects of
occasional cross-hybridization, and can make it so all
probes do not have to hybridize identity in order to obtain

quantitative information. To further increase the

sensitivity and specificity of detection, each PM probe can
be designed with a closely related mismatch probe (MM
probe) that is identical to PM probe with the exception of
a mismatched base, i.e. base 13. The preferable length of

74


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
oligonucleotide which is used in this invention is 25 base,
but no particular limitation for the length of
oligonucleotide. Preferably, the mismatch is adenine (A)
to thymine (T) and vice versa, or guanine (G) to cytosine
(c) and vice versa.

(l)-3 Adhering oligonucleotides to solid support
There is no particular limitation for the methods used
for adhering oligonucleotides to solid support, and the
method may be conducted according to the known means, while

preferred method is mentioned below. For example, all of
designed PM and MM probes as above ((l)-2) can be adhered
to the surface of solid support to produce a DNA array
using a certain method,. such as GeneChip technology or the
like.

There is no particular limitation for the methods
used for DNA maicroarray analysis, while preferred methods
for each of them is mentioned below, i.e., the example of
gene expression analysis to identify genes, which show a
characteristic expression profile under some conditions,

classification of industrial yeast, detection of
nucleotide polymorphism and selection of genes for
functional analysis are mentioned below.

can be identified and selected for functional analysis.

Furthermore, the identified gene can be used as a
gene marker to figure out a condition of the yeast cells. A
fluctuation in the expression level of a specific gene can

be monitored using a nucleic acid molecule obtained in the
time course of culture as the nucleic acid molecule derived
from brewing yeast. The culture conditions can be
optimized by analyzing the fluctuation. The expression

profile of the brewing yeast at the total gene level
(namely, which genes among a great number of genes encoded

thereof) can be determined using a nucleic acid molecule
having the sequences of many genes determined from the

genome sequence of the yeast. Thus, the expression level
of the genes determined by the genome sequence can be
analyzed and, in its turn, the biological conditions of the

79

WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
yeast can be recognized as the expression pattern at the
full gene level.

As a result of gene expression analysis, a group of
genes which shows distinctive expression under a certain
condition can be identified as target genes for further

functional analysis. "A certain condition" may include,
without any limitation, changes in environment, such as,
temperature, pH, or osmotic pressure, as well as changes in
components of medium. As a screening method for

identifying genes showing distinctive expression under the
certain condition, for example, a gene wherein significant
changes in expression of the gene are recognized according
to changes in environment, can be selected. "Significant
changes" mean preferably, 1.5 times higher, or 2/3 or less,

more preferably, 2 times higher, or 1/2 or less, even more
preferably 3 times higher, or 1/3 or less, but not limited

of (6) is compared.

The present DNA array may optionally comprise DNAs of
the (5') and/or (6') and/or (7) and/or (8)having one or

15 more mismatch(es) to the DNA of (5) and/or (6) and/or (1)
and/or (2),respectively. DNAs of (5') and/or (6') and/or
(7) and/or (8) may be optionally used as DNA probes of
the present DNA array for determining and confirming

hybridization specificity of a sample to the DNAs of (5)
and/or (6) and/or (1) and/or (2),respectively.
Specifically, in one of preferred embodiments of the

present invention, the DNA array comprises at least one
group of DNAs selected from (1) to (4) (preferably (1)
and/or (2)), at least one group of DNAs selected from (7)

to (10) (preferably (7) and/or (8)), DNAs of (5) and/or (6)
and DNAs of (5') and/or (6'). In the method using the
above DNA array, percentage of genes which hybridize to
DNAs of (1) and/or (2), but not to DNAs of (7) and/or (8)

81


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
is determined as hybridization ratio to any of (1) to (4),
and percentage of genes which hybridize to DNAs of (5)
and/or (6), but not to DNAs of (5') and/or (6') is
determined as hybridization ratio to any of (5) and/or (6).

It is possible to classify industrial yeast using a
DNA array mentioned above. Preparation of yeast genomic DNA
and hybridization to a DNA array may be carried out as
described before. Detection of the signal intensity of
array is carried out using a Gene Chip Analysis Basic

System and analysis soft ware (GCOS; GeneChip Operating
Software 1.0) manufactured by Affymetrix. The percentage
of probes, to which the DNA of an industrial yeast
hybridizes, is calculated. The identity between the strain
from which the DNA probes of the DNA array are derived

(e.g.34/70) and the tested strain is estimated from the
calculation result.

Industrial yeast strains can be classified on the
basis of the identity. A strain of industrial yeasts which
shows hybridization percentage to the non-Sc genes and the

Sc-genes on the DNA array similar to that of another strain
can be classified as a close strain of the another strain.
(o) Detection of nucleotide polymorphism

An embodiment of the present invention includes a
method for detecting nucleotide polymorphism in genome of
an industrial yeast comprising

(a) hybridizing genomic DNA prepared from the industrial
yeast to the DNA array of the present invention; and

82


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
(b) selecting a gene wherein hybridization intensity to
the DNAs of any of (7) to (10) is higher than hybridization
intensity to the DNAs of any of (1) to (4).

For the purpose of this embodiment, the DNA array
comprises, in addition to the DNAs of any of (1) to (4),
DNAs of any of (7) to (10) is preferably used (Embodiments
17-19).

It is possible to detect nucleotide polymorphism of a
industrial yeast by comparative genomic hybridization with
the DNA array mentioned above. For this embodiment, the

probes on the array are preferably oligonuclotide probes.
As an illustrative example, the sets of
oligonucleotides for each probe consist of Perfect Match
oligonucleotide (PM) which is identical to the sequence of

strain 34/70 and MisMatch oligonucleotide (MM) which
contains a single base mismatch, e.g., in the central
position of the oligonucleotide. It is possible to detect
nucleotide polymorphism from the gene whose signal
intensity in MM is higher (for example, more than 5-fold)
than that in PM.

Genes comprising one or more mismatche(es) can be
preferable candidates of target genes for further
functional analysis.

(p) Selection of useful yeast strains and genes
An embodiment of the present invention includes a
method for screening a useful strain of industrial yeast,
comprising

83


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
(a) hybridizing genomic DNA prepared from the industrial
yeast strain to the DNA array of the present invention; and

(b) determining the industrial yeast strain as useful
when the strain contain 1 or more genes, preferably, 2 or
more genes, wherein hybridization intensity thereof is 1.5
times higher or less than 2/3 compared to an average

hybridization intensity to the DNA of any of (1) to (4).
A gene of genomic DNA which shows hybridization
intensity significantly different from other genes may be

selected as a candidate of useful gene for further
functional analysis. Therefore, strains of industrial
yeasts comprising 1 or more such genes, preferably 2 or
more such genes can be selected as candidate of useful
strains. Preferably, hybridization intensity of such gene

is significantly different from that of other genes, more
preferably, thereof is 1.5 times higher or less than 2/3
compared to an average hybridization intensity to the DNA
of (1) and/or (2). More preferably, the difference in
hibridization intensity is 2 times higher, or 1/2 or less,

even more preferably 3 times higher, or 1/3 or less, but
not limited thereto.

Further embodiment of the present invention is a
method for screening a gene of an industrial yeast,
comprising

(a) hybridizing genomic DNA prepared from the industrial
yeast strain to the DNA array of the present invention; and
(b) selecting a gene wherein hybridization intensity

thereof is 1.5 times higher or less than 2/3 compared to an
84


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
average hybridization intensity to the DNA of any of (1) to
(4).

Another embodiment of the present invention is a
method for screening a gene of an industrial yeast,

comprising

(a-1) hybridizing genomic DNA, cDNA or cRNA prepared
from the industrial yeast to the DNA array of the present
invention;

(a-2) independently from the step (a-1), hybridizing
genomic DNA, cDNA or cRNA prepared from the industrial
yeast of the strain used for preparing the DNA array to the

DNA array of the present invention; and

(b) selecting a gene wherein hybridization intensity
thereof to the DNA any of (1) to (4) in the step (a-1) is
significantly different from hybridization intensity
thereof in the step (a-2).

The above screening method enable to select genes of
which hybridization intensity to the DNA array are
different between strains. From the results of comparative

genomic hybridization analysis, a gene which has probe sets
showing low signal intensities may be lost or have
different sequence from that of the strain used for probes
of the array (e.g., 34/70). In contrast, a gene which has
probe sets showing high signal intensities may be high in

copy number. For example, as for a gene, which show
hybridization intensity of 2 times higher in the step (a-i)
than that of the strain used for preparing the DNA array in


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
the step (a-2), the strain of (a-1) is likely to have two
or more copies of the gene.

Another embodiment of the present invention is a
method for screening a gene of an industrial yeast,

comprising

(a-1) hybridizing cDNA or cRNA prepared from the
industrial yeast to the DNA array of the present invention;
(a-2) independently from the step (a-i), hybridizing cDNA

or cRNA prepared from another industrial yeast to the DNA
array of any one of Embodiments 10-19, wherein the
industrial yeast of (a-2) has been cultured in a different
condition from the culture condition for the industrial
yeast of (a-i); and

(b) selecting a gene wherein hybridization intensity
thereof to the DNA of any of (1) to (4) in the step (a-1)
is significantly different from hybridization intensity
thereof in the step (a-2).

The above screening method enable to select genes
wherein expression of the genes may be changed due to
difference in culture condition. The "industrial yeast

cultured in a different condition" includes yeasts cultured
in different medium or temperature, or sequential samples
during the process of producing an alcohol or an alcoholic
beverage, for example.

Genes obtained by the various screening methods of the
present invention may be subjected for further functional
analysis, because differences in hybridization intensity
may contribute to the difference of fermentation character

86


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
between strains. The genes which have nucleotide
polymorphism detected by the method mentioned above can be
also selected for functional analysis.

As another alternative, the DNA array of the present
invention may be used to analyze the chromosomal structure
of an industrial yeast by DNA array-based comparative
genomic hybridization. Following description is an example
of the chromosome structure analysis using the DNA array.

Yeast genomic DNA is prepared using a Quiagen Genomic
Tip 100/G (#10243) and Qiagen Genomic DNA Buffer Set
(#19060) according to the manual attached to the kit. The
DNA (10 Rg) is digested with DNase I (manufactured by
Invitrogen) according to a method of Winzeler, et al.
(Science, volume 281, pages 1194-1197 (1998)), biotinylated

using a terminal transferase (manufactured by Roche) and
hybridized to a DNA array (Affymetrix Gene Chip Yeast
Genome S98 Array). The DNA array of the present invention
may include DNAs of any one of (1) to (4) and (7) to (10)
from Non-Sc type genes as well as (5)-and/or (6) and/or

(5') and/or (6')of the Sc type. Hybridization and
detection of the signal intensity of DNA array are carried
out using a Gene Chip Analysis Basic System and analysis
soft ware (GCOS; GeneChip Operating Software 1.0)
manufactured by Affymetrix.

The signals of probes hybridized with the DNA of
brewing yeast were lined following genes order in each
chromosome using a spreadsheet program (Microsoft Excel
2000) and the signals are shown in bar graphs. The Sc type

87


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
genes do not hybridize to the non-Sc type DNA probes (i.e.,
DNAs of (1) to (4)). Contrary, the non-Sc type genes do not
hybridize to the Sc type DNA probes (i.e., DNAs of (5)

and/or (6)). Therefore, the gene dosage of Sc type DNA
and/or non-Sc type DNA affect the signal and the points
where the signals show vigorous changes and which are
considered to be translocation sites between Sc type and
non-Sc type chromosome. In a preferred embodiment,
hybridization to DNAs of any of (1) to (4) can be

determined by hybridization to DNAs of (1) and/or (2), but
not to DNAs of (7) and/or (8), and hybridization to DNAs of
any of (5) and/or (6) can be determined by hybridization to
DNAs of (5) and/or (6), but not to DNAs of (5') and/or

(6').

example of gene.

With regard to the DNA which can be obtained by the
method of the present invention, a DNA containing the DNA
sequence of the non-Sc type gene obtained in the above and
a DNA which hybridizes to the said DNA under stringent

although they are non-limitative. A DNA which hybridizes
to the DNA containing a DNA sequence of the non-Sc type
gene obtained in the above under stringent condition

includes a degenerated mutant of codon for the protein
encoded by the said gene, for example. A degenerated
mutant means a polynucleotide fragment encoding the same
amino acid sequence by degeneration of codon, although in

CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
terms of a DNA sequence, it is different from a DNA

As an example, the gene of the present invention

includes a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide of any one
of the following i) and ii):

i) a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence

(b) a nucleic acid having a nucleotide sequence which
hybridizes to the nucleotide sequence complementary to the
nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 under a
stringent condition, and encodes a polypeptide having an
activity to increase concentration of sulfite in a culture

medium of an industrial yeast when the gene is expressed in
the yeast.

Specific example thereof is a DNA with a sequence as
shown by SEQ ID NO:1, a DNA which hybridizes to the said


CA 02621202 2008-02-29

DNA under stringent condition, etc. The DNA which
hybridizes under stringent condition means a DNA which is
prepared by a colony hybridization method, a plaque
hybridization method, a southern blot hybridization method

or the like using a DNA fragment with the sequence of the
non-Sc type identified hereinabove as a probe. An
appropriate stringent condition can be selected as
described above.

Hybridization may be carried out according to a method
mentioned in "Molecular Cloning, Third Edition", "Current
Protocols in Molecular Biology", "DNA Cloning 1: Core
Techniques, A Practical Approach, Second Edition, Oxford
University (1995)", etc.

Specific examples of the hybridizable DNA is a DNA

which shows at least not less than 60% identity, preferably
a DNA which shows not less than 80% identity and, more
preferably, a DNA which shows not less than 95% identity to
a DNA sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:1 when calculation is
conducted using a parameter of the default setting (initial

setting) by a software for homology searching such as
FASTA, BLAST, Smith-Waterman "Meth. Enzym., volume 164,
page 765 (1988)", etc.

An example of the DNA obtained by the screening method
of the present invention is a DNA encoding a polypeptide

comprising an amino acid sequence shown by SEQ ID NO:3 , or
a DNA which hybridizes to the said DNA under stringent
condition.

91


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
An example of the polypeptide which is encoded by the
DNA obtained by the screening method of the present
invention is a polypeptide encoded by the DNA containing
the DNA sequence of ORF obtained in the above and a

polypeptide encoded by the DNA which is hybridized to the
said DNA under stringent condition or a polypeptide
comprising an amino acid sequence shown by SEQ ID NO:3

Further, a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence
wherein one or more amino acid residue(s) is deleted from,
substituted for and/or added to the amino acid sequence of

the said polypeptide, and has substantially same biological
activity as the activity of the said polypeptide is also
included in the present invention. The expression reading
"substantially same activity as the activity of the said

polypeptide" means the same activity as the activity which
is represented by enzymatic activity or the function
inherent to the polypeptide before the deletion, .
substitution or addition. The said polypeptide can be
prepared by a site-specific mutation introduction which is

mentioned in "Molecular Cloning, Third Edition", "Current
Protocols in Molecular Biology", "Nuc. Acids. Res., volume
10, page 6487 (1982)", "Proc. Natl. Acad. Sic. USA, volume
79, page 6409 (1982)", "Gene, volume 34, page 315 (1985)",
"Nuc. Acids. Res., volume 13, page 4431 (1985)", "Proc.

Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, volume 82, page 488 (1985)", etc.
For example, it is able to be prepared by introducing a
site-specific mutation into a DNA encoding a polypeptide
comprising an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3 or

92


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
4. Although there is no particular limitation for the
number of the amino acid residue(s) which is/are deleted
and/or substituted and/or added, the number is within such
an extent that is able to be deleted and/or substituted

and/or added by known methods such as the above-mentioned
site-specific mutation method and is one to several tens,
preferably 1 to 20, more preferably 1 to 10 and, still more
preferably, 1 to 5.

A polypeptide having an amino acid sequence wherein
one or more amino acid residue(s) is deleted from,
substituted for and/or added to the amino acid of the
polypeptide of the present invention means that there
is/are one or more deletion(s) and/or substitution(s)
and/or addition(s) of one or more amino acid residue(s) at

any one or more site(s) of the amino acid sequence in the
same sequence. Those deletion(s) and/or substitution(s)
and/or addition(s) may take place at the same time and the
substituted or added amino acid residue may be either
naturally occurring type or a non-naturally occurring type.

alanine, L-asparagine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamine, L-
glutamic acid, glycine, L-histidine, L-isoleucine, L-
leucine, L-lysine, L-methionine, L-phenylalanine, L-
proline, L-serine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine,

L-valine and L-cysteine, etc.

Examples of the amino acid residue which is able to be
substituted each other will be shown below. Amino acid

93


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
residues in the same group may be substituted each other
(conservative substitution).

Group A: leucine, isoleucine, norleucine, valine,
norvaline, alanine, 2-aminobutanoic acid, methionine, 0-
methylserine, tert-butylglycine, tert-butylalanine and
cyclohexylalanine.

For the purpose that the resulting mutated polypeptide
has the substantially same activity as the activity of the
polypeptide before the mutation, it is preferred that the

amino acid sequence of mutated one is at least 60% or more,
usually 80% or more or, particularly, 95% or more of
identity to the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide
before the mutation when calculation is carried out using a
parameter of the default setting (initial setting) by a

software for the analysis such as BLAST and FASTA.
Identity between two amino acid sequence can be determined
as discussed above.

94


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
it is also possible to produce the polypeptide of the
present invention by a chemical synthetic method such as
Fmoc method (fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl method), tBoc
method (tert-butyloxycarbonyl method), etc. It is further

possible to synthesize chemically by using a peptide
synthesizers manufactured by Advanced ChemTech, Perkin-
Elmer, Pharmacia, Protein Technology Instrument,
Synthecell-Vega, PerSeptive, Shimadzu, etc.

When the method of the present invention is used, it
is possible to determine the genome sequence of industrial
yeast, to identify the useful genes of industrial yeast and
to assign the functions of the said genes. There are many
cases where the genes in industrial yeast are industrially
useful and, when the genes are classified on the basis of

the assigned functions, character of the yeast is clarified
and precious information for breeding of industrial yeast
is able to be obtained. For example, when the industrial
yeast is a brewing yeast, then a gene involved in increase
in productivity and improvement in flavor in the production

of alcoholic beverage is identified and, in case the gene
is disadvantageous for the increase of productivity or for
the improvement of flavor, the gene expression is
suppressed by a gene disruption or an antisense method or
an RNAi method (c.f., for example, Non-Patent Document 10),

whereupon yeast which shows an excellent brewing character
can be bred. In case the gene is advantageous for the
increase'of productivity, improvement of flavor, etc., then
for example the gene is overexpressed in the yeast,



CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
whereupon brewing yeast which shows an excellent brewing
character, which is industrially useful, can be bred.

An example where the gene obtained by the method of
the present invention is used to breed useful yeast is

shown as follows.

As already mentioned above, when the sulfite
concentration in a product is increased, it is possible to
make a product with excellent flavor stability. Therefore,
if the gene obtained by the screening method of the present

invention contributes to production and efflux of sulfite,
it is now possible that a transformant is cultivated and
expressed the said gene to make a product with excellent
flavor stability as a result of the increase in the

concentration of sulfite in the product.

It has been known that a bottom fermenting yeast
reduces sulfate ion ( S042- ) taken from outside of the cell
to sulfite ion ( S032- ). However, sulfite inhibits the
activity of glyceroaldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and
reduces the concentration of intracellular ATP, therefore,

yeast has a function of discharging sulfite so that
excessive sulfite should not be accumulated in the cell.
SSU1 is a gene, which has been isolated and shown
complement the sulfite-sensitive mutation (c.f., for
example, Non-Patent Document 11). SSU1 gene product

comprises 485 amino acid residues, and the structural
analysis suggests that it is a transporter with 9 to 10
membrane-spanning domains (c.f., for example, Non-Patent
Document 12). Further, as a result of experiment using a

96


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
SSU1 overexpressed strain, it has been already proved that
the SSU1 gene product effects the discharge of sulfite
(c.f., for example, Non-Patent Document 13).

Bottom fermenting yeast usually has a high production
ability of sulfite, while top fermenting yeast rarely
produces it. By using a screening method of the present
invention, it is possible to select non-ScSSU1 gene which
is specific to bottom fermenting yeast in addition to
ScSSUl gene which exists in both top and bottom fermenting
yeast.

Breeding method of yeast, wherein the non-ScSSUl gene
4 is intensified, is specifically mentioned in the
Examples.

An alcohol or an alcoholic beverage which is
produced by the producing method of the present invention.
With regard to yeast used as a host in the

introduction of the gene selected by the screening method
of the present invention, there is no particular limitation
so far as it is yeast which is usable for brewing, and any
yeast which is widely used as a brewing yeast at present
such as beer yeast including NCYC456, NBRC 1951, NBRC 1952,

NBRC 1953 and NBRC 1954. Further, whisky yeasts (such as
S. cerevisiae NCYC 90), wine yeasts (such as wine yeast
Kyokai No. 1, No. 3, No. 4, etc.) and sake yeasts (such as
sake yeast Kyokai No. 7, No. 9, etc.) may be also used.

With regard to a vector used for the introduction of
gene into the above-mentioned host, there is no particular
limitation so far as it is a vector which can express gene
in the yeast, and a multicopy plasmid (YEp type), a single-
copy plasmid (YCp type) and a chromosomal DNA-integrating

98


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
plasmid (YIp type) may be utilized. An example of a YEp
vector is YEp 51 (J. R. Broach, et al., Experimental
Manipulation of Gene Expression, Academic Press, New York,
83, 1983), etc.; an example of a YCp vector is YCp 50 (M.

D. Rose, et al., Gene, volume 60, page 237, 1987), etc.;
and an example of a YIp vector is YIp 5 (K. Struhl, et al.,
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, volume 76, page 1035, 1979),
etc. Those plasmids are put into the market and are easily
available.

The above-mentioned vector may have other sequence for
controlling expression of a gene in yeast such as,
promoter, operator, enhancer, silencer, ribosome binding
sequence, termiriator, etc. With regard to a promoter and a
terminator for a constitutive expression of a gene, but any

combination may be used as long as it functions in a
brewing yeast and is independent from sulfite concentration
in the product. As to a promoter for example, it is
possible to use a promoter for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
dehydrogenase (TDH3) gene, a promoter for phosphoglycerate

kinase (PGK1) gene, etc. Those promoters have been known,
and PGK1 gene, for example, is mentioned in detail in
publicly known documents such as M. F. Tuite, et al., EMBO
J., volume 1, page 603 (1982) and easily available.

It is not necessary that the above-mentioned other
sequences which regulate the expression of the introduced
gene are particularly provided from vector so far as the
DNA obtained by the screening method of the present

invention includes them. When such other sequences are not
99


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
contained in the said DNA, it is preferred that other
sequences are prepared separately and ligated to the said
DNA. Alternatively, even in the case of higher expression
level or specific regulation of expression is required,

other sequences appropriate for such a purpose are ligated
to the said DNA.

A method for the transformation of the above vector to
a host may follow known procedures. For example, the
following methods may be used; an electroporation method

"Meth. Enzym., volume 194, page 182 (1991)", a spheroplast
method "Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, volume 75, page 1929
(1978)", a lithium acetate method "J. Bacteriology, volume
153, page 163 (1983)", a method mentioned in "Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA, volume 75, page 1929 (1978)", etc.

To be more specific, a host is cultivated in a
standard yeast nutrient medium (such as YEPD medium
"Genetic Engineering, vol. 1, Plenum Press, New York, 117
(1979)", etc.) so that the absorbance at 600 nm becomes 1
to 6. Cells are collected by centrifugation, washed and

subjected to a pre-treatment with an alkali metal ion or,
preferably, lithium ion in a concentration of about 1M to
2M. After the cells are incubated at about 30 C for about
60 minutes, they are incubated together with DNA to be
introduced (about 1 to 20 Rg) at about 30 C for about 60

minutes. Polyethyleneglycol or, preferably,
polyethyleneglycol of about 4,000 daltons is added as the
final concentration will be about 20% to 50%. After the
incubation is carried out at about 30 C for about 30

100


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
minutes, the cells are subjected to a heating treatment at
about 42 C for about 5 minutes. Preferably, the cell
suspension is washed with a standard yeast nutrient medium
and placed in a predetermined amount of a fresh standard

yeast nutrient medium, then incubated at about 30 C for
about 1 hour. After the incubation, it is spread on an
appropriate selective medium plate.

Besides the above, as for a general cloning technique,
"Molecular Cloning, Third Edition", "Methods in Yeast

Genetics, A Laboratory Manual (Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY)", etc. were.
referred to.

With regard to a selective marker used for the
transformation, it is not possible to utilize an

auxotrophic marker in the case of brewing yeast and,
therefore, G 418-resistance gene (G 418r), copper-
resistance gene (CUP 1) "M. Karin, et al., Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA, volume 81, page 337, (1984)", serulenin-
resistance gene (fas2m, PDR 4) "Atsushi Inogoshi, et al.,

Seikagaku, volume 64, page 660, (1992)", "M. Hussain, et
al., Gene, volume 101, page 149, (1991)", etc. are
applicable.

The brewing yeast bred according to the present
invention is not different from a parental strain in terms
of growth and fermentation ability. Accordingly,

materials, facilities for the production, production
control, etc. may be entirely the same as those in the
conventional methods, which is an important aspect of the

101


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
present invention. However, it goes without saying that,
conditions such as fermentation period may be changed on a
case-by-case, if desired. For example, when a brewing
yeast in which discharging ability of sulfite is

intensified and an alcoholic beverage is produced using
such yeast, only the content of sulfite in the product
changes, and there is no difference from the case where a
parental strain is used, in terms of growth and
fermentation ability of the yeast. Accordingly, materials,

facilities for the production, production control, etc. may
be entirely the same as those in the conventional methods,
and there is no increase in the cost of production of an
alcoholic beverage in which sulfite content increases and
of which flavor is improved.


Examples
Details of the present invention are mentioned with
the following Examples although the present invention is
not limited to the following Examples.

(Example 1) Preparation of chromosomal DNA of
Saccharomyces pastorianus Weihenstephan 34/70 (hereinafter,
abbreviated as strain 34/70)

Preparation of chromosomal DNA was carried out by a
method mentioned in "Yeast, a practical approach (IRL

Press) 6.2.1 (pages 228-229)", which was partially
modified. Cells were inoculated and grown in 200 mL of YPD
medium (2% glucose, 1% yeast extract and 2% polypeptone) at
C until absorbance of the culture at 660 nm became 4.

102


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
Cells were collected by centrifugation, washed with buffer
A (50 mM sodium phosphate, 25 mM EDTA and 1% (v/v) (3-
mercaptoethanol; pH 7.5) and resuspended in 25 mL of buffer
A. 7 mg of Zymolyase 100T (Seikagaku Kogyo) was added

thereto and the mixture was mildly shaken at 37 C for 60
minutes. To this was added 25 mL of buffer B (0.2M Tris-
HC1, 80 mM EDTA and 1% SDS; pH 9.5), then the mixture was
allowed to stand at 65 C for 30 minutes, cooled on ice,
mixed with 12 mL of 5M potassium acetate and allowed to

stand on ice for further 60 minutes. The resulting
solution was centrifuged at 5,000 g for 10 minutes at 15 C.
To the recovered supernatant was added the same volume of
ethanol to precipitate DNA, and the mixture was immediately
centrifuged at 5,000 g for 10 minutes at 15 C to collect

the precipitate. The resulting precipitate was washed with
70% (v/v) ethanol, subjected to natural drying and
dissolved in 5 mL of TE buffer (10 mM Tris-HC1 and 1 mM of
EDTA; pH 8.0) to give a crude DNA solution. Cesium
chloride (4.06 g) and 840 g of bisbenzimide (Hoechst

33258) were added and dissolved in 3.5 mL of the crude DNA
solution, the mixture was subjected to centrifugal
separation at 100,000 g for 17 hours at 25 C and exposed to
UV light to make DNA bands visible, whereupon the band of
the lower layer was recovered. The recovered DNA solution

was extracted with isopropanol which was saturated with a
cesium chloride solution to remove bisbenzimide (Hoechst
33258). To the recovered aqueous layer was added 4-fold by
volume of 0.3 M sodium acetate followed by mixing. Then,

103


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
3-fold by volume of ethanol was added thereto to
precipitate the DNA, which was recovered by centrifugation.
The recovered DNA was dissolved in TE buffer containing 75
[tg/mL of RNase, kept at 37 C for 5 minutes, and extracted

with phenol/chloroform for three times and the aqueous
layer was further subjected to precipitation with ethanol.
The precipitate recovered by centrifugation was washed with
70% (v/v) ethanol, subjected to natural drying and
dissolved in TE buffer to prepare a chromosomal DNA

solution.

(Example 2) Preparation of a shotgun library

The concentration of a genome solution of strain 34/70
prepared in Example 1 was adjusted to 1 mg/mL using a TE

buffer. 0.1 mL thereof was treated with a Hydroshear
(manufactured by GeneMachines; speed: 6; cycle: 20) to
fragmentize the genomic DNA. End of the genomic fragment
was blunted using a DNA Blunting Kit (manufactured by
Takara Shuzo), fractionated by 0.8% agarose gel

electrophoresis. Genomic fragments of 1.5 to 2.5 kb were
excised from the gel, and DNA was eluted. The DNA eluate
was treated with phenol/chloroform and precipitated with
ethanol to give a genome library insert. All the above
insert and 0.5 Rg of pUC 18 SmaI/BAP (manufactured by

Amersham Biosciences) were subjected to ligation at 15 C
for 15 hours using T4 ligase (manufactured by Takara
Shuzo).

104


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
The product of ligation reaction was precipitated with
ethanol and dissolved in 10 RL of a TE buffer. A ligation
solution (1 RL) was inserted into 40 L of Escherichia coli
Electro Cell DH5a (manufactured by Takara Shuzo) by means

of electroporation under the condition mentioned in-the
attached experimental manual. The resulting product is
spread on an LB plate medium containing 1.6% of agar (the
LB medium (1% bactotryptone, 0.5% yeast extract and 1%
sodium chloride; pH 7.0)) containing 0.1 mg/mL of

ampicillin, 0.1 mg/mL of X-gal and 1 mmol/L of isopropyl-(3-
D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), and incubated through the
night at 37 C.

The transformant obtained from colonies formed on the
said plate medium was subjected to cultivation without

shaking through the night at 37 C in a 384-well titer plate
to which 50 RL of an LB medium containing 0.1 mg/mL of
ampicillin was added. Then 50 RL of a 50% aqueous solution
of glycerol was added thereto followed by stirring, and the
mixture was used as a glycerol stock.


(Example 3) Preparation of a cosmid library

About 0.1 mg of the genomic DNA obtained in Example 1
was partially digested with Sau3AI (manufactured by Takara
Shuzo). Insertion of the fragment into a BamHI site of

Super Cos I vector (manufactured by Stratagene) was carried
out according to a manual. A ligated product prepared by
this method was subjected to packaging using Gigapack III
Gold (manufactured by Stratagene) and introduced into

105


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
Escherichia coli XL1-Blue MR strain (manufactured by
Stratagene) according to a manual. It was spread on an LB
plate medium containing 0.1 mg/mL of ampicillin and
incubated through the night at 37 C. The resulting

transformants were cultured through the night at 37 C in an
LB medium (each well: 50 RL) containing 0.1 mg/mL of
ampicillin using a 96-well titer plate, and then 50 RL of
50% glycerol solution was added thereto followed by
stirring and the mixture was used as a glycerol stock.


(Example 4) Determination of DNA sequence
(4-1) Preparation of DNA fragment

The genome sequence of strain 34/70 was determined
mainly using the genome shotgun method. A DNA fragment of
which DNA sequence is to be determined by that method was

prepared by a PCR method from the shotgun library prepared
in the above Example 2. To be specific, clone derived from
the genome shotgun library was inoculated using a
replicator (manufactured by Gene Solution) to a 384-well

titer plate where 50 RL of an LB medium containing 0.1
mg/mL of ampicillin was placed to each well and cultivated
without shaking through the night at 37 C. The culture
liquid was transferred to a 384-well reaction plate
(manufactured by AB Gene) containing 10 L of reaction

mixture for PCR (TaKaRa Ex Taq manufactured by Takara
Shuzo) using a replicator (manufactured by Gene Solution)
and PCR was carried out according to a protocol by Makino,
et al. "DNA Research, volume 5, pages 1 to 9 (1998)" using
106


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
a GeneAmp PCR System 9700 (manufactured by Applied
Biosystems) to amplify the inserted fragment. After that,
excessive primers and nucleotides were removed by a PCR
product purification kit (manufactured by Amersham

Bioscience) and a sequence reaction was carried out using
that sample as a template.

A DNA fragment from the cosmid library of the above
Example 3 was prepared according to the following method.
That is, clone derived from the cosmid library was

inoculated to each well of a 96-well plate to which 1.0 mL
each of a 2 x YT medium (1.6% bactotryptone, 0.1% yeast
extract and 0.5% sodium chloride; pH 7.0) containing
50 g/mL of ampicillin was placed and subjected to shake
culture at 30 C through the night. A cosmid DNA was

prepared from the said culture using KURABO PI-1100
AUTOMATIC DNA ISOLATION SYSTEM (manufactured by KURABO)
according to a manual of KURABO, and was used as a template
for a sequence reaction.

(4-2) Sequence reaction

A sequence reaction mixture-was prepared as follows.
The PCR product or cosmid DNA prepared in the above (4-1)
is mixed with about 2Rl of DYEnamic ET Terminator
Sequencing Kit (manufactured by Amersham Bioscience) and
appropriate primers to give about SRl of reaction mixture.

An M13 forward (M13-21) primer and an M13 reverse (M13RV)
primer (manufactured by Takara Bio), are used for the
sequence reaction of a PCR product derived from shotgun
DNA, while a forward primer SS-cos F.1 (SEQ ID NO: 7) and a

107


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
reverse primer SS-cos R.1 (SEQ ID NO: 8) are used for
cosmid DNA. Amounts of the primers and the DNA fragment
were 3.2 pmol and 50 to 200 ng, respectively. The said
reaction solution was subjected to dye terminator sequence

reaction of 60 cycles using a GeneAmp PCR System 9700.
Cycle parameter followed a manual attached to the DYEnamic
ET Terminator Sequencing Kit. Purification of the sample
was carried out using a Multi Screen HV Plate (manufactured
by Millipore) according to a manual of Millipore. The

purified reactant was stored in a dark place of 4 C. The
purified reactant was analyzed using a Mega BACE 1000
Sequencing System (manufactured by Amersham Bioscience) and
ABI PRISM 3700 DNA Analyser (manufactured by Applied
Biosystems) according to manuals attached thereto. The

data on 332,592 sequences obtained by the Mega BACE 1000
Sequencing System and on 13,461 sequences obtained by the
3700 DNA Analyser were transferred to a server Enterprise
6500 (manufactured by Sun Microsystems) and preserved. The
data on 346,053 sequences corresponded to about 7-fold of
the genome size.

A list of the primers for the PCR used in the Example
is shown in Table 3.

(Example 5) Assembly (A process whereby the order of
multiple sequenced DNA fragments is determined)

All works for reconstruction of genomic DNA sequence
from the sequence information for DNA fragment of the
346,053 sequences obtained in the above Example 4 were
108


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
carried out on a UNIX platform. Base call was carried out
by phred (The University of Washington), masking of vector
sequence was carried out using Cross Match (The University
of Washington) and assembly was carried out using Phrap

(The University of Washington). Contig obtained as a
result of the assembly was analyzed using a graphical
editor consed (The University of Washington). A series of
works from base call to assembly was carried out all
together utilizing a script phredPhrap attached to the

consed.

(Example 6) Preparation of a comparative database with
the genome sequence of S. cerevisiae

S. pastorianus is believed to be a natural hybrid of
S. cerevisiae with its closely-related species "Int. J.
Syst. Bacteriol., volume 35, pages 508 to 511 (1985)".
Therefore, a DNA sequence (comprising 10,044 bases) of both

ends of the cosmid DNA clone obtained in (4-2) was
subjected to a homology searching by a homology searching
algorithm to S. cerevisiae genome sequence, whereupon for

each DNA sequence alignment of homologous region on S.
cerevisiae genome sequence and the identity thereof were
determined to prepare a database. An identity distribution
chart for cosmid DNA sequence with the corresponding

genomic DNA sequence of S. cerevisiae is shown in Fig. 2.
The DNA sequence of cosmid was roughly classified into a
DNA sequence group showing not less than 94% identity to
the genomic DNA sequence of S. cerevisiae and a DNA

109


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
sequence group showing around 84% identity thereto. The
DNA sequence group showing not less than 94% identity is
named a DNA sequence of an Sc type derived from S.

cerevisiae and the DNA sequence group showing around 84%
identity is named a DNA sequence of a non-Sc type derived
from genome of closely related species. Similarly, a
comparative database (Table 1) was prepared for the DNA
sequence of both ends of shotgun clone obtained in (4-1)
with the genomic DNA sequence of S. cerevisiae. Table 1

shows an example of the comparative database of DNA
sequence of both ends of 3,648-cosmid clone with the
genomic DNA sequence of S. cerevisiae. There are shown the
homologous region and the identity of forward sequence and
reverse sequence of cosmid subjected to the DNA sequence

determination on each genomic DNA sequence of S.
cerevisiae.

On the basis of the information obtained by the
prepared comparative database, mapping of cosmid clone and
shotgun clone on S. cerevisiae genome sequence was carried
out (Fig. 3). In addition, a comparative database (Table

1) of contig DNA sequence obtained in Example 5 with S.
cerevisiae genome sequence was prepared, then mapping was
carried out. Although the means for the mapping was almost
the same as the above-mentioned method, if forward and
reverse sequences of cosmid and shotgun clones were present

in different contigs, these contigs were connected by
forward-reverse link (Fig. 4).

(Example 7) Identification and assignment of function
of ORF

Identification of ORF (open reading frame) in the DNA
sequence assembled in Example 5 was carried out. The
examples are specifically shown below. Identification of
ORF existing in the DNA sequence assembled in Example 5 was
carried out using a available program using ORF finder

(http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/gorf/gorf.html). The
identification of ORF was done for six kinds of reading
frames in the sequence with the length of not less than 150
bases from initiation codon to termination codon including
its complementary sequence. Assignment of function of the

extracted ORF was carried out by homology searching of
amino acid sequence of ORF of S. cerevisiae that has been
registered at the SGD and published. Table 2 is a table
showing examples of the name of ORF in S. cerevisiae

corresponding to the result to assignment of function of
ORF existing in the non-Sc genome. From the left side of
the table, there are shown name of the ORF existing in the
brewing yeast, ORF length in polynucleotide, ORF length in

polypeptide, name of the ORF in S. cerevisiae determined by
homology searching, identity, coincided length and
functions of the gene.

(Example 8) Analysis of chromosome structure by DNA
array-based comparative genomic hybridization and PCR

Preparation of genomic DNA from yeast was carried out
using Qiagen Genomic Tip 100/G (#10243: manufactured by

Qiagen) and Qiagen Genomic DNA Buffer Set (#19060:
manufactured by Qiagen) according to the manuals attached
to the kits. The DNA (10 g) was digested with DNase I
(manufactured by Invitrogen) according to a method of
Winzeler, et al. "Science, volume 281, pages 1194 to 1197

(1998)", biotinylated by a terminal transferase
(manufactured by Roche) and hybridized to a DNA array
(Affymetrix Gene Chip Yeast Genome S98 Array: produced by
Affymetrix). Hybridization and detection of signal
intensity of array were carried out using a Gene Chip

Analysis Basic System manufactured by Affymetrix.

The signal of each probe hybridized with the DNA of
strain 34/70 is normalized to that of the haploid
laboratory yeast strain S288C using an analysis soft ware
(Microarray Suite 5.0: manufactured by Affymetrix) and

shown as signal log ratio (2n). Signal log ratios were
lined following gene order in each chromosome using a
spreadsheet program (Microsoft Excel 2000) and the signal
log ratios are shown in bar graphs as shown in Fig. 5. The
non-Sc type genes do not hybridize to the S. cerevisiae

array, therefore, the Sc type gene dosage affects the
signal log ratio and the points where the signal log ratios
show vigorous changes and which are considered to be

CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
translocation sites between Sc type and non-Sc type
chromosome.

On the basis of genome sequence of strain 34/70
determined by a shotgun method, the chimera chromosome

structure was confirmed by PCR where two pairs of primers
having DNA sequences in which one side is Sc type while the
other side is a non-Sc type (XVI-1(L)cer-95894 (SEQ ID NO:
9)/XVI-1(R)nonSc-106302rv (SEQ ID NO: 10) and XVI-2(L)cer-
859737 (SEQ ID NO: 11)/XVI-2(R)nonSc-864595rv (SEQ ID NO:

12)) were designed and the genomic DNA derived from strain
34/70 was used as a template. Two examples of
translocation of chromosome XVI are shown as follows.

The PCR was carried out using Takara LA TaqTM and a
buffer attached thereto in accordance with the attached
manual by a Takara PCR Thermal Cycler SP.

As a result of the PCR, it was confirmed by a 0.8%
agarose gel electrophoresis that, a DNA fragment in the
predicted length was amplified from strain 34/70, while
when genomic DNA of the experimental strain S. cerevisiae

X2180-1A was used as a template for the PCR, amplification
of the DNA fragment was not detected. Furthermore, when
DNA sequence of both ends of the DNA fragment amplified
from strain 34/70 was confirmed, it was consistent with the

genome sequence determined by a shotgun method and it was
confirmed that, within such a region, translocation between
Sc type and non-Sc type chromosome took place.

From the above result, it is estimated that at least
two kinds of chromosomes were present in the chromosomeXVI
116


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
as shown in Fig. 6. According to the same techniques,
ligation between Sc chromosome and non-Sc chromosome (or
inverse thereof) or, in other words, the region where the
existence of chimera chromosome structure was suggested was

confirmed. Such chimera chromosome structure of the Sc
chromosome and non-Sc chromosome was confirmed at least 13
places in the total chromosomes of strain 34/70 (Fig. 1).

As a result of genome analysis, it was found that
chromosome structure of bottom fermenting yeast was very

complicated and there were at least 37 kinds of chromosomes
in strain 34/70.

(Example 9) Cloning of SSU1 genes of strain 34/70
The shotgun clone containing non-ScSSUl gene'was

retrieved using a comparative database obtained in Example
6. There was SSS103_G08 which comprises about 2.4 kb of
fragment containing full-length of non-ScSSU1 ORF, where
identity of forward and reverse sequence of shotgun clone
to those of S. cerevisiae were 62.9% and 82.9%,

respectively.

SSS103-G08 was selected from a library of genomic DNA,
then full length of non-ScSSUl was prepared by PCR.
Synthetic DNAs of SacI-non-Sc-SSU1_forl (SEQ ID NO: 13) and
Bg1II-non-Sc-SSU1_rv1460 (SEQ ID NO: 14) were used as

primers. As a result of such a combination, base numbers 1
to 1460 of nonScSSUl was amplified to give a Saci-Bg1II

With regard to an ScSSUl gene, full length of gene was
obtained by PCR using a primer pair designed on the basis
of the information of SGD using a genomic DNA of strain
34/70 as a template. Synthetic DNAs of SacI-ScSSU1_forl

(SEQ ID NO: 15) and Bg1II-ScSSU1_rv1406 (SEQ ID NO: 16)
were used as primers. As a result of such a combination,
base numbers 1 to 1406 of ScSSUl gene was amplified to give
a SacI-Bg1II fragment of about 1.4 kb.

ScSSUl and non-ScSSUl genes obtained as above were
inserted using TA cloning kit (Invitrogen) into pCR 2.1-
TOPO vector attached to the kit, and they were named
TOPO/ScSSUl and TOPO/non-ScSSU1, respectively. Sequences
of the resulting ScSSUl and non-ScSSU1 genes were confirmed
by a method of Sanger "F. Sanger, Science, volume 214, page
1215, 1981" (Fig. 10).

(Example 10) Disruption of each SSU1 gene
According to a method mentioned in the document
"Goldstein, et al., Yeast, volume 15, page 1541 (1999)",

DNA fragment for gene disruption was prepared by PCR using
a plasmid containing a drug-resistance marker (pFA6a
(G418r), pAG 25 (natl)) as a template. As primers for the
PCR, non-Sc-SSU1_for (SEQ ID NO: 17)/non-Sc-SSU1_rv (SEQ ID
NO: 18) were used for disruption of non-ScSSUl gene, while

for disruption of ScSSUl gene, ScSSU1_for (SEQ ID NO:
19)/ScSSU1_rv (SEQ ID NO: 20) were used. For disruption of
non-ScSSUl gene, a plasmid pPGAPAUR (AUR1-C) and primers
non-Sc-SSU1_for + pGAPAUR (SEQ ID NO: 21)/non-Sc-SSU1_rv +

118


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
AURI-C (SEQ ID NO: 22) were further used. As such, two and
three kinds of DNA fragments were prepared for ScSSUl and
non-ScSSUl gene disruption, respectively.

The bottom fermenting yeast BH 96 was transformed

using the DNA fragments for gene disruption prepared with
above method. The transformation was carried out by a
method mentioned in the Japanese Patent Laid-Open Gazette
No. H07/303,475 and concentrations of the drugs were 300
mg/L for geneticin, 50 mg/L for nourseothricin and 1 mg/L
for aureobasidin A.

With regard to the transformants prepared, gene
disruption was confirmed by Southern analysis. Firstly,
the genomic DNA extracted from parental strain and
disruptant was subjected to restriction enzyme treatment

(at 37 C or 18 hours) using NcoI for the confirmation of
ScSSUl gene disruption and HindiII for the confirmation of
non-ScSSUl gene disruption, and then fractionated by 1.5%
agarose gel electrophoresis and transferred to a membrane.
After that, hybrid3.zation was carried out (at 55 C for 18

hours) with a probe specific to the ScSSUl or non-ScSSUl
following a protocol of the Alkphos Direct Labelling
Reagents (Amersham) and signals were detected by CDP-Star.

Each of the strains where gene disruption was
confirmed was named as follows.

Sc-i (ScSSUl/Scssul::G418r)

Sc-2 (Scssul::G418r/Scssul::nat1)

non-Sc=1 (non-ScSSU1/non-ScSSU1/non-Scssul::G418r)
non-Sc-2 (non-ScSSUl/non-Scssul::G418r/non-Scssul::nat1)

(Example 11) Quantitative analysis of sulfite

production in a fermentation test

Fermentation test using parental strain and disruptant
Sc-1 to non-Sc-3 prepared in Example 10 was carried out
under the following condition.

Original extract: 12.75%

Fermentation scale: 2 liters

Dissolved oxygen concentration: about 9 ppm
Fermentation temperature: 15 C

Pitching rate: 10 g of wet yeast cells/2 L of wort
Wort is periodically sampled and monitored the cell
growth (OD 600) (Fig. 7-(a)), apparent extract (Fig. 7-(b))

and sulfite concentration (Fig. 7-(c)). Quantitative
analysis of sulfite in wort was carried out in such a
method that it was captured in a hydrogen peroxide solution
by means of distillation in an acidic condition and

subjected to titration with an alkali (Revised Method for
BCOJ Beer Analysis by the Brewing Society of Japan).

As a result, sulfite production in the wort by ScSSU1
disruptant was nearly same as that by parental strain,
while it significantly decreased by non-ScSSU1 disruptant.

It was suggested that non-ScSSU1 gene which is specific to
bottom fermenting yeast greatly contributes to sulfite
production in wort.

120


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
At the same time, growth rate and extract-consuming
rate were significantly decreased in the non-ScSSUl
disruptant, and it supported that excessive sulfite in
cells caused inhibition of cell growth.


(Example 12) Overexpression of each SSU1 gene

From the plasmid TOPO/non-ScSSU1 mentioned in Example
9, a fragment of about 1.5 kb including the full length of
non-ScSSU1 ORF was excised by a treatment with a

restriction enzyme (SacI-Bg1II). Then this fragment was
inserted into a plasmid pNI-NUT which was similarly treated
with a restriction enzyme (SacI-BglII) to construct a non-
ScSSU1 overexpression vector pYI-non-ScSSUl. The vector
pNI-NUT contains URA3 as a homologous recombination site

and nourseothricin-resistance gene (natl) and ampicillin-
resistance gene (Ampr) as selective markers. On the other
hand, the ScSSU1 overexpression vector pNI-ScSSU1 has a
structure wherein the non-ScSSUl gene of the above-
mentioned pYI-non-ScSSUl has been substituted with the,

SSU1-R of about 2 kb derived from S. cerevisiae "J.
Ferment. Bioeng., volume 86, page.427 (1998)". For
overexpression of each SSU1 gene, promoter and terminator
of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (TDH3)
were used.

Bottom fermenting yeast BH225 was transformed with a
overexpression vector prepared in the above-mentioned
method. Transformation was carried out by a method
mentioned in the Japanese Patent Laid-Open Gazette No.

CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
H07/303,475 and selected on YPD plate medium containing 50
mg/L of nourseothricin.

Confirmation of the overexpression was carried out by
RT-PCR. Extraction of total RNA was carried out using an
RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen), according manual of "for total

RNA isolation from yeast" attached the kit. ScSSUl_for331
(SEQ ID NO: 23)/ScSSUl_982rv (SEQ ID NO: 24) were used as
ScSSUI-specific primers; non-ScSSUl_for329 (SEQ ID NO:
25)/non-ScSSU1_981rv (SEQ ID NO: 26) were used as non-

ScSSUl-specific primers; and PDA1_forl (SEQ ID NO:
27)/PDA1_730rv (SEQ ID NO: 28) were used as specific
primers for constitutively expressed gene PDA1 used as an
internal standard. PCR product was fractionated by 1.2%
agarose gel electrophoresis, stained with an ethidium

bromide solution and signal value of each SSU1 gene of
transformant was normalized with a signal value of PDA 1
and compared with that of the parental strain. The
overexpressed strains confirmed as such were named as
ScSSUl overexpressed strain and non-ScSSUl overexpressed
strain.

(Example 13) Quantitative analysis of sulfite
production in a fermentation test

Fermentation test using parental strain and each of
SSU1 overexpressed strain obtained in the Example 12 was
carried out under the following condition.

Original extract: 12.83%
Fermentation scale: 2 liters
122


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
Dissolved oxygen concentration: about 9 ppm
Fermentation temperature: 12 C

Pitching rate: 10 g of wet yeast cells/2 L of wort

As same as in Example 11, wort is periodically sampled
and monitored the cell growth (OD 600) (Fig. 8-(a)),
apparent extract (Fig. 8-(b)) and sulfite concentration
(Fig. 8-(c)). With regard to the sulfite production, it
was only somewhat higher in Sc SSU1 overexpressed strain
(19 ppm at the end of the fermentation) as compared with

that of the parental strain (12 ppm at the same stage),
while non-Sc SSU1 over expressed strain showed a
significant increase (45 ppm at the same stage). At the
same time, there was no difference in the growth rate and
in the extract-consuming rate between the parental strain

and the overexpressed strains.

From the above result, by overexpression of the gene
encoding the sulfite-discharging pump specific to the
bottom fermenting yeast shown in the present invention, it
is possible to increase sulfite concentration in beer

without changing the fermentation process and the
fermentation period. As a result, it is now possible to
produce an alcoholic beverage with excellent flavor
stability and a longer quality preservation period.

(Example 14) Cloning of MET14 gene of strain 34/70
DNA sequence of non-Sc MET14 gene was retrieved from
the comparative database obtained in Example 6. A shotgun
clone SSS 134_021 containing about 1.9 kb (full-length) of
123


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
non-Sc MET14 gene was obtained; its forward and reverse DNA
sequence identity to S. cerevisiae were 79.0% and 56.0%,
respectively.

The shotgun clone 134_021 was selected from shotgun

library and a full length of non-Sc MET14 gene was obtained
by PCR. As a primer pair, synthetic DNAs of SacI-nonSc-
MET14_for-21 (SEQ ID NO: 29) and BamHI-nonSc-MET14_rv618
(SEQ ID NO: 30) as shown in Table 3 were used. As a result
of using such a pair of primers, a non-Sc MET14 gene (about

0.6 kb) embraced by SacI and BamHI restriction sites was
obtained.

With regard to Sc MET14 gene, a full length of the
structural gene was obtained by PCR using a primer pair

5 designed on the basis of the information of SGD and using
genomic DNA of strain 34/70 as a template. Synthetic DNAs
of SacI-ScMET14_for (SEQ ID NO: 31) and BamHI-ScMET14_rv
125


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
(SEQ ID NO: 32) were used as primers. As a result of using
such a pair of primers, Sc MET14 gene (about 0.6 kb)
embraced by SacI and BamHI restriction sites was obtained.

The Sc MET14 and non-Sc MET14 genes obtained as above
were inserted using a TA cloning kit (manufactured by
Invitrogen) into pCR 2.1-TOPO vector attached to the kit,
and they were named TOPO/ScMET14 and TOPO/nonSc-MET14,
respectively.

DNA sequences of the resulting Sc MET14 and non-Sc
MET14 genes were checked by a method of Sanger "Science,
volume 214, page 1205 (1981)" (Fig. 11).

(Example 15) Overexpression of each MET14 gene in Sc
SSU1 overexpressed strain

A fragment of about 0.6 kb containing Sc MET14 or non-
Sc MET14 mentioned in Example 14 was inserted into a multi-
cloning site of a expression vector pUP3GLP (Japanese

Patent Laid-Open Gazette No. 2000/316,559) to construct
overexpression vectors pUP3Sc MET14 and pUP3nonSc-MET14 in
which each MET14 gene was expressed under control of

glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter and
terminator. On the other hand, top fermenting yeast,
strain KN009F, was transformed with an Sc SSU1
overexpression vector pNI-SSU1 mentioned in Example 12 to

prepare strain FOY227 which is an Sc SSU1 overexpressed
strain. The strain FOY227 was transformed with the above
pUP3ScMET14 and pUP3nonSc-MET14 to prepare strain FOY306
126


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
and strain FOY 307 in which Sc MET14 and non-Sc MET14,
together with Sc SSU1, are overexpressed, respectively.
(Example 16) Quantitative analysis of sulfite

production in a fermentation test

Fermentation tests were carried out under the
following condition using strains prepared in Example 15;
strain FOY227 which is Sc SSU1 overexpressed strain, strain
FOY306 which is Sc MET14 overexpressed strain in strain

FOY227, strain FOY307 which is a non-Sc MET14 overexpressed
strain in strain FOY227and the parental strain KN009 F.
Original extract: 12.84%

Fermentation scale: 1.5 liters

Dissolved oxygen concentration: about 9 ppm
Fermentation temperature: 25 C at all times

Pitching rate: 7.5 g of wet yeast cells/1.5 L of wort
In the same way as Example 11, wort is periodically
sampled and monitored the cell growth (OD 600), apparent
extract and sulfite concentration. With regard to the yeast

growth and the consumed amount of extract, there was no
difference among the strains. However, with regard to the
sulfite production, it was only somewhat higher in Sc SSU1
overexpressed strain FOY227 (3.4 ppm at the end of the

fermentation),and Sc MET14 and Sc SSU1 overexpressed strain
FOY306 (6.4 ppm at the same stage) as compared with that of
the parental strain KN009F(0.32 ppm at the same stage),

while non-Sc MET14 and Sc SSU1 overexpressed strain FOY307
127


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
showed a significant increase (16.6 ppm at the same stage)
as shown in Fig. 9.

From the above results, it was found that
overexpression of the gene encoding the adenylyl sulfate

kinase specific to the bottom fermenting yeast shown in the
present invention was effective to increase sulfite
concentration in beer without changing the fermentation
process and the fermentation period. As a result, it is now
possible to produce an alcoholic beverage with excellent

flavor stability and a longer quality preservation period.
(Example 17) Production of the bottom fermenting yeast
DNA array

DNA array of bottom fermenting yeast was produced

based on the DNA sequence information of the ORFs obtained
in the above (h) and intergenic DNA sequences located
between ORFs deduced from the whole genome sequence of
strain 34/70.

Production of the DNA array

Based on the DNA sequence information from following
three groups, PM probe (Perfect Match Probe; 25 base long)
which is unique against the whole genome sequence of the
bottom fermenting yeast was designed using GeneChip

(Affymetrix) technology; (1) 15712 regions from the whole
genome sequence information of strain 34/70, (2) 403 S.
cerevisiae ORFs represented from SEQ ID NOS: 190811 to
191213 from SGD which are not identified as Sc type ORFs in

128


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
strain 34/70,=(3) 64 DNA sequences of genes represented
from SEQ ID NOS: 195588 to 195651 used as internal
standard.

In order to obtain quantitative and reproducible

information, 8 to 11 probes for each region of (1)and(2),
and 20 to 51 probes for each region of (3) were designed.
To further increase the sensitivity and specificity of the
detection, mismatch probe (MM probe) that has sequences
identical to PM probe with the exception of one mismatched

base, which substitutes the complementary base (adenine (A)
to thymine (T) and vice versa, or guanine (G) to cytosine
(C) and vice versa) at the central position (i.e. base 13),
was also designed.

All of designed PM and MM probes were synthesized and
packed (manufactured by Affymetrix) to produce the DNA
array using GeneChip technology.

Group (1) consists of:

A) 6204 DNA sequences of non-Sc type ORFs represented
from SEQ ID NOS: 33 to 6236;

B) 7448 DNA sequences of Sc type ORFs represented from
SEQ ID NOS: 75337 to 82784;

C) 28 DNA sequences of mitochondrial ORFs from 34/70
strain represented from SEQ ID NOS: 166154 to 166181;

D) 553 DNA sequences represented from SEQ ID NOS:
166490 to 167042, which have not been identified as the
above ORFs but have significant similarity (E value <=10e-

129


CA 02621202 2008-02-29
WO 2006/024951 PCT/IB2005/002908
7) to the proteins of S. cerevisiae using NCBI-BlastX
homology searching,

E) 1479 DNA sequences represented from SEQ ID NOS:
173125 to 174603, which have not been identified as the
above A) or B) but have significant similarity (E-value

<=10e-7) to the proteins of S. cerevisiae using NCBI-BlastP
homology searching.

E-value is an expected value for a possibility that a
query sequence is found in a data base by chance. For

example, E-value 10 means that 10 sequences can be found
accidentally. The smaller the E-value is, the lesser is
the chance of finding the sequence by chance, and thus
meaning that similarity between the found sequence in data
base and the query sequence is significant.

The E-value as the result of homology searching such
as NCBI-BLAST can be significant when it is less than 10-7,
preferably less than 10-10, more preferably less than 10-20.
The function can be assigned as having the least value with
the DNA sequences of the ORFs as the result of the homology
searching.
