上記の通り回収したフザリウム・オキシスポラム由来トリプシン様プロテアーゼは、そのまま使用することもできるが、各種の製剤化処理を施してから使用してもよい。
PCRにはPrime STAR HS DNA Polymerase(タカラバイオ社製)等を用い、反応条件は添付のマニュアルに記載の方法で行った。染色体DNAの調製は、コマガタエラ・パストリスATCC76273株からGenとるくんTM(タカラバイオ社製)等を用いて、これに記載の条件で実施した。
HindIII-BamHI-BglII-XbaI-EcoRIのマルチクローニングサイトをもつ遺伝子断片(配列番号6)を全合成し、これをpUC19(タカラバイオ社製、Code No. 3219)のHindIII-EcoRIサイト間に挿入して、pUC-1を構築した。

比較例1で構築した野生型プロテアーゼ前駆体発現ベクターを用いて、以下のようにコマガタエラ・パストリスを形質転換した。
コマガタエラ・パストリスATCC76273株由来ヒスチジン要求性株を3mlのYPD培地(1% yeast extract bacto(Difco社製)、2% polypeptone(日本製薬社製)、2% glucose)に接種し、30℃で一晩振盪培養して、前培養液を得た。得られた前培養液500μlを50mlのYPD培地に接種し、OD600が1~1.5になるまで振盪培養後、集菌(3000×g、10分、20℃)し、250μlの1M DTT(終濃度25mM)を含む10mlの50mMリン酸カリウムバッファー,pH7.5に再懸濁した。
比較例1で構築した野生型プロテアーゼ前駆体発現ベクターpUC-PaoxTPTaoxHIS4を用いて大腸菌を形質転換し、得られた形質転換体を2mlのアンピシリン含有2YT培地(1.6% tryptone bacto(Difco社製)、1% yeast extract bacto(Difco社製)、0.5% 塩化ナトリウム、0.01%アンピシリンナトリウム(和光純薬工業社製))で培養し、得られた菌体からQIAprep spin miniprep kit(QIAGEN社製)を用いて、pUC-PaoxTPTaoxHIS4を取得した。本プラスミドをSalI処理し、HIS4遺伝子内のSalI認識配列で切断された直鎖状ベクターを調製した。
比較例2で得られた野生型プロテアーゼ前駆体発現酵母を2mlのBMGY培地(1% yeast extract bacto(Difco社製)、2% polypeptone(日本製薬社製)、0.34% yeast nitrogen base Without Amino Acid and Ammonium Sulfate(Difco社製)、1% Ammonium Sulfate、0.4mg/l Biotin、100mM リン酸カリウム(pH6.0)、1% glycerol、1% Methanol)に接種し、これを30℃、48時間振盪培養後、遠心分離(12000rpm、5分、4℃)により培養上清を回収した。
比較例3で得られた培養上清のSDS-PAGE解析を実施した。
12μlの培養上清と3μlの5×サンプルバッファー(0.25M Tris-HCl(pH6.8)、50% Glycerol、6.7% SDS、0.01% BPB)を混合し、95℃-8min処理をした。本サンプルを分子量マーカー(Precision Plus Protein’TM Dual Color Standards、バイオラッド社製)と共に、 e-PAGELゲル(E-R15L、ATTO社製)を用いてSDS-PAGE電気泳動に供した。泳動後、ゲルを15分間水洗し、染色液(Bio-Safe CBB G-250ステイン;Bio-Rad社製)により30分染色したのち、水で脱色した。その結果、プロテアーゼ前駆体のアミノ酸配列から推定される分子量に相当する領域にバンドは認められた(図1、lane1)。
培養上清中に存在するプロテアーゼ前駆体を自己消化により活性体への変換は以下のように実施した。
培養上清 500μlを、Amicon Ultracel-3K(メルクミリポア製)を用いて、活性測定用buffer(10mM TrisHCl (pH8.0), 10mM MgCl2)に置換した。その後、同bufferを用いて、液量を500μlに調整して、15℃で24~48時間インキュベートした。
各サンプル中に含まれるプロテアーゼ活性は以下の方法で測定した。
活性測定用buffer 990μlに、2.5mM N-Benzoyl-DL-arginine-p-nitroanilideHCl (nacalai社製) のDMSO溶液 10μlを加えた後に、サンプル 1~10μlを添加後、初発の410nmの吸光度を測定する。そして37℃で1時間インキュベートし、反応後の410nmの吸光度を測定した。反応前後の410nmの吸光度変化から、遊離したp-nitroaniline量を算出して、プロテアーゼ活性を計算した。なお、1min間に1μmolのp-nitroanilineを生成する酵素量を1ユニットと定義した。
上記方法で比較例3で得られた培養上清および比較例5で得られた自己消化後の溶液中のプロテアーゼ活性を測定したが、活性は検出できなかった(表1)。
MF配列が付与された野生型プロテアーゼ前駆体遺伝子の合成遺伝子をテンプレートにプロテアーゼ遺伝子をPCRで調製した。プライマー7及びプライマー9(配列番号15)、プライマー10(配列番号16)及びプライマー8を用いたPCRを実施し、それぞれのPCRの増幅断片を混合した後に、プライマー7及びプライマー8でPCRを実施し、MF配列が付与されたプロテアーゼ遺伝子を調製した。

比較例7で構築したベクターを用いて、比較例2~6の処理を行い、ピキア酵母でのプロテアーゼの分泌生産を評価した。その結果、培養上清中に少量のプロテアーゼ活性を認めたものの、PAGE上でのプロテアーゼのバンドは認められなかった(図1 lane 2, 表1)。本結果は、プロテーゼをピキア酵母で高分泌させるのは困難であることを示している。
MF配列が付与された野生型プロテアーゼ前駆体遺伝子の合成遺伝子をテンプレートにブタトリプシン由来プロ配列をもつ変異プロテアーゼ前駆体遺伝子をPCRで調製した。プライマー7及びプライマー11(配列番号17)、プライマー12(配列番号18)及びプライマー8を用いたPCRを実施し、それぞれのPCRの増幅断片を混合した後に、プライマー7及びプライマー8でPCRを実施し、MF配列が付与された変異プロテアーゼ前駆体遺伝子を調製した。
上記で調製したプロテアーゼ遺伝子をBglII処理し、比較例1で調製したpUC-PaoxTaoxHIS4のBglIIサイトに挿入して、MF配列が付与された変異プロテアーゼ前駆体遺伝子発現ベクターを構築した。
比較例9で構築したベクターを用いて、比較例2~6の処理を行い、ピキア酵母での変異プロテアーゼ前駆体の分泌生産を評価した。その結果、培養上清中にプロテアーゼ活性は認められず(表1)、PAGE上ではアミノ酸配列から推測されるサイズとは異なるバンドが認められた。本結果は、自己消化による前駆体から活性型への変換例が報告されているブタ由来トリプシンのプロ配列を用いても、本プロテアーゼではうまく機能しないことを示している。

これらの変異前駆体の一部は、野生型前駆体のN7とI8に相当する残基間にK残基が挿入され、かつN7に相当する残基が別のアミノ酸残基に置換された変異を有する。また、別のこれらの変異前駆体の一部は、野生型前駆体のN7とI8に相当する残基間にK残基が挿入され、プロ配列の長さが異なる変異を有する

これらの結果は、改変したプロ配列を有する変異型プロテアーゼ前駆体を用いることにより、効率的にプロテアーゼを分泌生産できることを示している。
