- Bifidobacteria exhibiting physiological effects useful for humans are obligately anaerobic bacteria that are vulnerable to oxygen, low pH, high acidity, and difficult to handle, such as growth during production and survival during storage. Therefore, it is suitable as a microorganism to which the present invention is applied.
- inhibiting or suppressing the expression of the fadD gene typically means (i) inhibiting or suppressing the transcription of the fadD gene into the fadD mRNA, and (ii) inhibiting the translation of the fadD mRNA into the fadD protein. Although it can suppress, it is not limited to these.
- this method can be achieved by an inactivation method in which a completely different DNA fragment is inserted into the gene or by stepwise homologous recombination.
- a stepwise double crossover method in which a part or all of the gene is deleted is exemplified, and a stepwise double crossover method is particularly preferable.
- the regions on both sides sandwiching the deletion region are separated from the chromosomal DNA or amplified by PCR and separated, for example, pYSSE3
- pYSSE3 These DNA fragments are cloned in the same orientation as the original orientation into a plasmid vector that grows in Escherichia coli but cannot replicate in the target microorganism.
- the resulting recombinant plasmid DNA is introduced into the microorganism to be deleted by electroporation, etc., and the desired deletion region is cloned from the resulting antibiotic-resistant clone by PCR or the like.
- a clone in which recombination has occurred in the region homologous to the upstream or downstream cloned region and the plasmid has been inserted on the chromosome is selected.
- the clones obtained in this way are repeatedly subcultured in a medium that does not contain antibiotics, so that the plasmid is detached from the chromosome by recombination between the homologous regions where the plasmids are in close proximity, and disappears as the bacteria grow.
- Select clones that have lost antibiotic resistance A clone lacking the fadD gene region can be isolated from the thus obtained clone by PCR or the like.
- RNA interference by synthesizing a short RNA complementary to the 5′-terminal region of the mRNA of the gene, or a region or a control gene that controls the expression of the gene
- a method of modification by destruction or deletion can be used, and modification of a region that controls the expression of the gene is particularly preferable.
- the amount of transcription of the gene into mRNA can be increased or decreased by modifying the sequence of the promoter that controls transcription of the fadD gene.
- reducing the amount of transcription of the fadD gene to mRNA means that the relative transcription amount is 1% or less, preferably 0.1% or less.
- the relative transcription amount is the expression level of the fadD gene (for example, the expression level of mRNA) of a microorganism that is the wild type of the fadD gene among the same type of microorganism, and excludes the expression level of the fadD gene of the microorganism that is the modified type of the fadD gene.
- the fadD gene wild-type microorganism refers to a microorganism in which the base sequence of the fadD gene or its promoter is not mutated and the expression of the fadD gene is not enhanced, introduced, inhibited or suppressed.
- the type of microorganism refers to a microorganism in which the expression of the fadD gene is enhanced, introduced, inhibited or suppressed by modifying the base sequence of the fadD gene or its promoter.

また、本発明によれば、酸耐性が弱まった改変微生物を容易に作出することができる。このような改変微生物は、胃酸で多くが死滅することから、微生物の持つ保健効果を胃では発揮させない微生物として使用することができる。
また、本発明のスクリーニング方法によれば、酸耐性を有する微生物を簡易にスクリーニングすることができる。
本発明において、fadD遺伝子の発現を制御する対象微生物としては、特に限定されないが、酸耐性の増強が求められる有用なグラム陽性細菌、グラム陰性細菌、酵母等が好適に挙げられる。中でもグラム陽性細菌が好ましく、特に生体への安全性が確認されているラクトバチルス属細菌、ビフィドバクテリウム属細菌が好ましい。
ラクトバチルス属細菌としては、ラクトバチルス・カゼイ、ラクトバチルス・パラカゼイ、ラクトバチルス・ゼアエ、ラクトバチルス・ラムノーサス等のラクトバチルス・カゼイグループに属する細菌の利用が好ましく、特にラクトバチルス・カゼイ、ラクトバチルス・ラムノーサスを好適に利用することができる。
また、ビフィドバクテリウム属細菌としては、ビフィドバクテリウム・ブレーべ、ビフィドバクテリウム・ロンガム、ビフィドバクテリウム・インファンティス、ビフィドバクテリウム・アドレセンティス、ビフィドバクテリウム・ビフィダム、ビフィドバクテリウム・カテヌラタム、ビフィドバクテリウム・シュードカテヌラタム、ビフィドバクテリウム・アンギュラタム等が挙げられ、特にビフィドバクテリウム・ブレーべを好適に利用することができる。
ヒトにとって有用な生理効果を示すビフィドバクテリウム属細菌は、偏性嫌気性菌であり、酸素や低pH、高酸度に弱く、製造時の増殖や保存時の生残性等、取扱いに困難な点が多いことから、本発明の適用対象となる微生物として好適である。
具体的には、fadD遺伝子の一部又は全部を欠失する場合には、欠失領域をはさむ両側の領域を染色体DNAから分離するか、あるいはPCR法によって増幅して分離し、例えばpYSSE3のような大腸菌では増殖するが対象とする微生物中では複製が出来ないプラスミドベクターにそれらDNA断片を本来の向きと同じ向きに並んだ状態でクローニングする。次に、得られる組換えプラスミドDNAを、欠失を起こさせようとする微生物にエレクトロポレーション法等を用いて導入し、生じる抗生物質耐性のクローンから、PCR法等によって目的の欠失領域の上流又は下流のクローニングした領域との相同領域で組換えを起こしてプラスミドが染色体上に挿入したクローンを選択する。こうして得たクローンを、抗生物質を含まない培地で継代培養を繰り返すことによって、プラスミドが再び近接して存在する相同領域間の組換えによって染色体から離脱し、菌の増殖に伴って消失することによって、抗生物質耐性をなくしたクローンを選択する。こうして得たクローンからPCR法等によってfadD遺伝子領域を欠失したクローンを分離することができる。
また、ここで、プロモーターの配列を改変とは、プロモーター領域において、DNA断片を構成する一部の塩基(例えば、1~20個程度、好ましくは1~10個、さらに好ましくは1~5個の塩基)が置換、欠失される場合、又は1~数個の塩基(例えば、1~10個、好ましくは1~5個の塩基)が付加若しくは挿入される場合をいい、例えば、fadD遺伝子のプロモーターにおいて、開始コドン塩基から68bp上流の塩基配列をチミン(T)からシトシン(C)に置換することをいう。
ここで、酸耐性とは、対象微生物が有するあらゆる酸、特に胃酸や胆汁酸に対する耐性を意味し、より具体的には低温状態でも機能する酸耐性を意味する。すなわち、低温状態では機能しなくなると推測されるATP依存による酸耐性とは明確に異なる。
ここで、低温状態とは、0~10℃の状態にあることを云う。具体的には低温状態で保存(低温保存)することが挙げられ、例えば10℃以下で7日以上、5℃以下で14日以上、4℃で14日以上保存することが挙げられる。
酸耐性の増強とは、微生物のfadD遺伝子やそのプロモーターを改変等することでfadD遺伝子の発現が阻害又は抑制されることにより、改変前の微生物に対して改変微生物の酸耐性が増強していることを意味する。より具体的には、1×108cell/mL以上の菌数に培養した改変微生物を4℃、7日間の条件で低温保存した後、37℃で60分間、胃酸で処理した場合に、改変微生物の生存率(胃酸処理前の生菌数に対する胃酸処理後の生菌数の割合)が改変前の微生物に比べ5倍以上、好ましくは10倍以上高い性質が挙げられる。又は4℃、14日間の条件で保存した際には30倍以上、好ましくは50倍以上、4℃、19日間の条件で保存した際には100倍以上、好ましくは150倍以上高い性質が挙げられる。また、1×108cell/mL以上の菌数に培養した改変微生物を4℃、7日間の条件で低温保存した後、37℃で60分間、胃酸で処理した後、さらに37℃で60分間、胆汁酸で処理した場合に、改変微生物の生存率(胃酸及び胆汁酸の連続処理前の生菌数に対する胃酸及び胆汁酸連続処理後の生菌数の割合)が改変前の微生物に比べ10倍以上、好ましくは30倍以上高い性質が挙げられ、又は4℃、14日間の条件で保存した際には100倍以上、好ましくは200倍以上高い性質が挙げられる。ここで、胃酸及び胆汁酸としては、例えば国際公開第2011/105335号に記載の、人口胃液(pH3.3)、人工胆汁(1.0% 牛胆汁(Oxgall))を用いることができる。
また、本発明の方法により得られた酸耐性が弱まるように調節された微生物は、胃酸で多くが死滅することから、当該微生物が元来有する種々の生理効果を胃に到達する前に発揮し、胃では作用しない微生物として利用することができる。
ここで、fadD遺伝子及び/又はその発現産物の測定は、fadD遺伝子や当該遺伝子由来のmRNAを検出し得るプローブやプライマーを用いて、微生物における標的とする遺伝子の有無、コピー数や発現量をサザーンハイブリダイゼーション法やノーザンハイブリダイゼーション法、DNAマイクロアレイやRT-PCR法により行うことができる。また、ポリペプチドの量を紫外吸収法、BCA法(ビシンコニン酸法)、ローリー法のような分光光度法や電気泳動法により行うことができる。そして、fadD遺伝子やその発現産物の有無、それらの発現量により、目的の微生物(酸耐性を有する微生物)を選択すればよい。
ここで、使用されるプライマー等の核酸断片としては、本発明の遺伝子の塩基配列に関する情報をもとにして化学合成されたヌクレオチド等が一般的に使用できるが、当該ヌクレオチドとしては、配列番号1に示す塩基配列に対応する部分ヌクレオチド配列であって、10~50個の連続した塩基、好ましくは15~35個の連続した塩基が好ましい。
以下、実施例によって本発明の内容をさらに詳細に説明する。

形質転換体の酸耐性をより明らかに確認するために低温保存後の酸耐性を測定した。上記実施例3に記載の培地で、1×108cell/mL以上の菌数となるよう一晩嫌気培養したHM0101株(培養後菌数:8.5×108cell/mL)およびHM0102株(培養後菌数:8.8×108cell/mL)の各培養液を4℃で嫌気静置保存した。保存0日目、7日目、14日目、19日目および29日目において、胃酸・胆汁酸連続処理を行い、両株の酸耐性を比較した。
