SEQUENCE LISTING
[0002] The present application contains a Sequence Listing in the
form of a text file, which is incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present invention relates to variants (mutants) of
parent Termamyl-like alpha-amylases, which variant has
alpha-amylase activity and exhibits an alteration in at least one
of the following properties relative to said parent alpha-amylase:
stability under, e.g., high temperature and/or low pH conditions,
in particular at low calcium concentrations. The variant of the
invention are suitable for starch conversion, ethanol production,
laundry wash, dish wash, hard surface cleaning, textile desizing,
and/or sweetener production.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] Alpha-amylases (alpha-1,4-glucan-4-glucanohydrolases, E.C.
3.2.1.1) constitute a group of enzymes, which catalyze hydrolysis
of starch and other linear and branched 1,4-glucosidic oligo- and
polysaccharides.
BRIEF DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide
Termamyl-like amylases which variants in comparison to the
corresponding parent alpha-amylase, i.e., un-mutated alpha-amylase,
has alpha-amylase activity and exhibits an alteration in at least
one of the following properties relative to said parent
alpha-amylase: stability under, e.g., high temperature and/or low
pH conditions, in particular at low calcium concentrations.
Nomenclature
[0006] In the present description and claims, the conventional
one-letter and three-letter codes for amino acid residues are used.
For ease of reference, alpha-amylase variants of the invention are
described by use of the following nomenclature: [0007] Original
amino acid(s): position(s): substituted amino acid(s)
[0008] According to this nomenclature, for instance the
substitution of alanine for asparagine in position 30 is shown as:
[0009] Ala30Asn or A30N a deletion of alanine in the same position
is shown as: [0010] Ala30* or A30* and an insertion of an
additional amino acid residue, such as lysine, is shown as: [0011]
Ala30AlaLys or A30AK
[0012] A deletion of a consecutive stretch of amino acid residues,
such as amino acid residues 30-33, is indicated as (30-33)* or
.DELTA.(A30-N33).
[0013] Where a specific alpha-amylase contains a "deletion" in
comparison with other alpha-amylases and an insertion is made in
such a position this is indicated as: [0014] *36Asp or *36D for an
insertion of an aspartic acid in position 36.
[0015] Multiple mutations are separated by plus signs, i.e.: [0016]
Ala30Asp+Glu34Ser or A30N+E34S representing mutations in positions
30 and 34 substituting alanine and glutamic acid for asparagine and
serine, respectively.
[0017] When one or more alternative amino acid residues may be
inserted in a given position it is indicated as [0018] A30N,E or
A30N or A30E
[0019] Furthermore, when a position suitable for modification is
identified herein without any specific modification being
suggested, it is to be understood that any amino acid residue may
be substituted for the amino acid residue present in the position.
Thus, for instance, when a modification of an alanine in position
30 is mentioned, but not specified, it is to be understood that the
alanine may be deleted or substituted for any other amino acid,
i.e., any one of: R,N,D,A,C,Q,E,G,H,I,L,K,M,F,P,S,T,W,Y,V.
[0020] Further, "A30X" means any one of the following
substitutions:
A30R, A30N, A30D, A30C, A30Q, A30E, A30G, A30H, A301, A30L, A30K,
A30M, A30F, A30P, A30S, A30T, A30W, A30Y, or A30 V; or in short:
A30R,N,D,C,Q,E,G,H,I,L,K,M,F,P,S,T,W,Y,V.
[0021] If the parent enzyme--used for the numbering--already has
the amino acid residue in question suggested for substitution in
that position the following nomenclature is used: [0022] "X30N" or
"X30N,V" in the case where for instance one or N or V is present in
the wildtype.
[0023] Thus, it means that other corresponding parent enzymes are
substituted to an "Asn" or "Val" in position 30.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0024] FIG. 1 is an alignment of the amino acid sequences of five
parent Termamyl-like alpha-amylases. The numbers on the extreme
left designate the respective amino acid sequences as follows:
1: SEQ ID NO: 4 (SP722)
2: SEQ ID NO: 2 (SP690)
3: SEQ ID NO: 10 (BAN)
4: SEQ ID NO: 8 (BLA)
5: SEQ ID NO: 6 (BSG).
DETAILED DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[0025] The object of the present invention is to provide
Termamyl-like amylases, which variants have alpha-amylase activity
and exhibits altered stability at high temperatures and/or at low
pH, in particular at low calcium concentrations.
Termamyl-Like Alpha-Amylases
[0026] A number of alpha-amylases produced by Bacillus spp. are
highly homologous (identical) on the amino acid level.
[0027] The identity of a number of known Bacillus alpha-amylases
can be found in the below Table 1:
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Percent identity 707 AP1378 BAN BSG SP690
SP722 AA560 Termamyl 707 100.0 86.4 66.9 66.5 87.6 86.2 95.5 68.1
AP1378 86.4 100.0 67.1 68.1 95.1 86.6 86.0 69.4 BAN 66.9 67.1 100.0
65.6 67.1 68.8 66.9 80.7 BSG 66.5 68.1 65.6 100.0 67.9 67.1 66.3
65.4 SP690 87.6 95.1 67.1 67.9 100.0 87.2 87.0 69.2 SP722 86.2 86.6
68.8 67.1 87.2 100.0 86.8 70.8 AA560 95.5 86.0 66.9 66.3 87.0 86.8
100.0 68.3 Termamyl 68.1 69.4 80.7 65.4 69.2 70.8 68.3 100.0
[0028] For instance, the B. licheniformis alpha-amylase comprising
the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 8 (commercially
available as Termamyl.TM.) has been found to be about 81%
homologous with the B. amyloliquefaciens alpha-amylase comprising
the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 10 and about 65%
homologous with the B. stearothermophilus alpha-amylase (BSG)
comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6. Further
homologous alpha-amylases include SP690 and SP722 disclosed in WO
95/26397 and further depicted in SEQ ID NO: 2 and SEQ ID NO: 4,
respectively, herein. Other amylases are the AA560 alpha-amylase
derived from Bacillus sp. and shown in SEQ ID NO: 12, and the #707
alpha-amylase derived from Bacillus sp., shown in SEQ ID NO: 13 and
described by Tsukamoto et al., 1988, Biochemical and Biophysical
Research Communications 151: 25-31.
[0029] The KSM AP1378 alpha-amylase is disclosed in WO 97/00324
(from KAO Corporation).
[0030] Still further homologous alpha-amylases include the
alpha-amylase produced by the B. licheniformis strain described in
EP 0252666 (ATCC 27811), and the alpha-amylases identified in WO
91/00353 and WO 94/18314. Other commercial Termamyl-like
alpha-amylases are comprised in the products sold under the
following tradenames: Optitherm.TM. and Takatherm.TM. (Solvay);
Maxamyl.TM. (available from Gist-brocades/Genencor), Spezym AA.TM.
and Spezyme Delta AA.TM. (available from Genencor), and
Keistase.TM. (available from Daiwa), Dex lo, GC 521 (available from
Genencor) and Ultraphlow (from Enzyme Biosystems).
[0031] Because of the substantial homology found between these
alpha-amylases, they are considered to belong to the same class of
alpha-amylases, namely the class of "Termamyl-like
alpha-amylases".
[0032] Accordingly, in the present context, the term
"Termamyl-like" alpha-amylase" is intended to indicate an
alpha-amylase, in particular Bacillus alpha-amylase, which, at the
amino acid level, exhibits a substantial identity to Termamyl.TM.,
i.e., the B. licheniformis alpha-amylase having the amino acid
sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 8, herein.
[0033] In other words, all of the following alpha-amylases, which
have the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NOS: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,
12 and 13 herein, are considered to be "Termamyl-like
alpha-amylase". Other Termamyl-like alpha-amylases are
alpha-amylases i) which display at least 60%, such as at least 70%,
e.g., at least 75%, or at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at
least 95%, at least 97%, at least 99% homology (identity) with at
least one of said amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NOS: 2, 4,
6, 8, 10, 12, and 13, and/or are encoded by a DNA sequence which
hybridizes to the DNA sequences encoding the above-specified
alpha-amylases which are apparent from SEQ ID NOS: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9,
and of the present specification (which encoding sequences encode
the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NOS: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12
herein, respectively).
Homology
[0034] The homology may be determined as the degree of identity
between the two sequences indicating a derivation of the first
sequence from the second. The homology may suitably be determined
by means of computer programs known in the art such as GAP provided
in the GCG program package (described above). Thus, Gap GCGv8 may
be used with the default scoring matrix for identity and the
following default parameters: GAP creation penalty of 5.0 and GAP
extension penalty of 0.3, respectively for nucleic acidic sequence
comparison, and GAP creation penalty of 3.0 and GAP extension
penalty of 0.1, respectively, for protein sequence comparison. GAP
uses the method of Needleman and Wunsch, 1970, J. Mol. Biol. 48:
443-453, to make alignments and to calculate the identity.
[0035] A structural alignment between Termamyl (SEQ ID NO: 8) and,
e.g., another alpha-amylase may be used to identify
equivalent/corresponding positions in other Termamyl-like
alpha-amylases. One method of obtaining said structural alignment
is to use the Pile Up programme from the GCG package using default
values of gap penalties, i.e., a gap creation penalty of 3.0 and
gap extension penalty of 0.1. Other structural alignment methods
include the hydrophobic cluster analysis (Gaboriaud et al., 1987,
FEBS Letters 224: 149-155) and reverse threading (Huber and Torda,
1998, Protein Science 7(1): 142-149).
Hybridization
[0036] The oligonucleotide probe used in the characterization of
the Termamyl-like alpha-amylase above may suitably be prepared on
the basis of the full or partial nucleotide or amino acid sequence
of the alpha-amylase in question.
[0037] Suitable conditions for testing hybridization involve
pre-soaking in 5.times.SSC and prehybridizing for 1 hour at
40.degree. C. in a solution of 20% formamide, 5.times.Denhardt's
solution, 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.8, and 50 mg of denatured
sonicated calf thymus DNA, followed by hybridization in the same
solution supplemented with 100 mM ATP for 18 hours at 40.degree.
C., followed by three times washing of the filter in 2.times.SSC,
0.2% SDS at 40.degree. C. for 30 minutes (low stringency),
preferably at 50.degree. C. (medium stringency), more preferably at
65.degree. C. (high stringency), even more preferably at 75.degree.
C. (very high stringency). More details about the hybridization
method can be found in Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A
Laboratory Manual, 2nd Ed., Cold Spring Harbor, 1989.
[0038] In the present context, "derived from" is intended not only
to indicate an alpha-amylase produced or producible by a strain of
the organism in question, but also an alpha-amylase encoded by a
DNA sequence isolated from such strain and produced in a host
organism transformed with said DNA sequence. Finally, the term is
intended to indicate an alpha-amylase, which is encoded by a DNA
sequence of synthetic and/or cDNA origin and which has the
identifying characteristics of the alpha-amylase in question. The
term is also intended to indicate that the parent alpha-amylase may
be a variant of a naturally occurring alpha-amylase, i.e., a
variant, which is the result of a modification (insertion,
substitution, deletion) of one or more amino acid residues of the
naturally occurring alpha-amylase.
Parent Termamyl-Like Alpha-Amylases
[0039] According to the invention all Termamy-like alpha-amylases,
as defined above, may be used as the parent (i.e., backbone)
alpha-amylase. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the
parent alpha-amylase is derived from B. licheniformis, e.g., one of
those referred to above, such as the B. licheniformis alpha-amylase
having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 8.
Parent Hybrid Termamyl-Like Alpha-Amylases
[0040] The parent alpha-amylase (i.e., backbone alpha-amylase) may
also be a hybrid alpha-amylase, i.e., an alpha-amylase, which
comprises a combination of partial amino acid sequences derived
from at least two alpha-amylases.
[0041] The parent hybrid alpha-amylase may be one, which on the
basis of amino acid homology (identity) and/or DNA hybridization
(as defined above) can be determined to belong to the Termamyl-like
alpha-amylase family. In this case, the hybrid alpha-amylase is
typically composed of at least one part of a Termamyl-like
alpha-amylase and part(s) of one or more other alpha-amylases
selected from Termamyl-like alpha-amylases or non-Termamyl-like
alpha-amylases of microbial (bacterial or fungal) and/or mammalian
origin.
[0042] Thus, the parent hybrid alpha-amylase may comprise a
combination of partial amino acid sequences deriving from at least
two Termamyl-like alpha-amylases, or from at least one
Termamyl-like and at least one non-Termamyl-like bacterial
alpha-amylase, or from at least one Termamyl-like and at least one
fungal alpha-amylase. The Termamyl-like alpha-amylase from which a
partial amino acid sequence derives, may be any of the specific
Termamyl-like alpha-amylase referred to herein.
[0043] For instance, the parent alpha-amylase may comprise a
C-terminal part of an alpha-amylase derived from a strain of B.
licheniformis, and a N-terminal part of an alpha-amylase derived
from a strain of B. amyloliquefaciens or from a strain of B.
stearothermophilus. For instance, the parent alpha-amylase may
comprise at least 430 amino acid residues of the C-terminal part of
the B. licheniformis alpha-amylase, and may, e.g., comprise a) an
amino acid segment corresponding to the 37 N-terminal amino acid
residues of the B. amyloliquefaciens alpha-amylase having the amino
acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 10 and an amino acid segment
corresponding to the 445 C-terminal amino acid residues of the B.
licheniformis alpha-amylase having the amino acid sequence shown in
SEQ ID NO: 8, or a hybrid Termamyl-like alpha-amylase being
identical to the Termamyl sequence, i.e., the Bacillus
licheniformis alpha-amylase shown in SEQ ID NO: 8, except that the
N-terminal 35 amino acid residues (of the mature protein) has been
replaced by the N-terminal 33 residues of BAN (mature protein),
i.e., the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens alpha-amylase shown in SEQ ID
NO: 10; or b) an amino acid segment corresponding to the 68
N-terminal amino acid residues of the B. stearothermophilus
alpha-amylase having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6
and an amino acid segment corresponding to the 415 C-terminal amino
acid residues of the B. licheniformis alpha-amylase having the
amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 8.
[0044] Another suitable parent hybrid alpha-amylase is the one

Stability
[0073] In the context of the present invention, mutations
(including amino acid substitutions and deletions) of importance
with respect to achieving altered stability, in particular improved
stability (i.e., higher or lower), at especially high temperatures
(i.e., 70-120.degree. C.) and/or extreme pH (i.e., low or high pH,
i.e., pH 4-6 or pH 8-11, respectively), in particular at free
(i.e., unbound, therefore in solution) calcium concentrations below
60 ppm, include any of the mutations listed in the "Altered
properties" section. The stability may be determined as described
in the "Materials & Methods" section below.
General Mutations in Variants of the Invention
[0074] A variant of the invention may in one embodiment comprise
one or more modifications in addition to those outlined above.
Thus, it may be advantageous that one or more Proline (Pro)
residues present in the part of the alpha-amylase variant which is
modified is/are replaced with a non-Proline residue which may be
any of the possible, naturally occurring non-Proline residues, and
which preferably is an Alanine, Glycine, Serine, Threonine, Valine
or Leucine.
[0075] Analogously, in one embodiment one or more Cysteine residues
present in the parent alpha-amylase may be replaced with a
non-Cysteine residue such as Serine, Alanine, Threonine, Glycine,
Valine or Leucine.
[0076] Furthermore, a variant of the invention may--either as the
only modification or in combination with any of the above outlined
modifications--be modified so that one or more Asp and/or Glu
present in an amino acid fragment corresponding to the amino acid
fragment 185-209 of SEQ ID NO: 10 is replaced by an Asn and/or Gln,
respectively. Also of interest is the replacement, in the
Termamyl-like alpha-amylase, of one or more of the Lys residues
present in an amino acid fragment corresponding to the amino acid
fragment 185-209 of SEQ ID NO: 10 by an Arg.
[0077] It is to be understood that the present invention
encompasses variants incorporating two or more of the above
outlined modifications.
[0078] Furthermore, it may be advantageous to introduce mutations
in one or more of the following positions (using SEQ ID NO: 8
(Termamyl) for numbering):
M15, V128, A111, H133, W138, T149, M197, N188, A209, A210, H405,
T412, in particular the following single, double or triple or multi
mutations: M15X, in particular M15T,L; V128X, in particular V128E;
H133X, in particular H133Y; N188X, in particular N188S,T,P; M197X,
in particular M197T,L; A209X, in particular A209V;

Methods for Preparing Alpha-Amylase Variants of the Invention
[0079] Several methods for introducing mutations into genes are
known in the art. After a brief description of cloning of
alpha-amylase-encoding DNA sequences, methods for generating
mutations at specific sites within the alpha-amylase-encoding
sequence will be described.
Cloning a DNA Sequence Encoding an Alpha-Amylase
[0080] The DNA sequence encoding a parent alpha-amylase may be
isolated from any cell or microorganism producing the alpha-amylase
in question, using various methods well known in the art. First, a
genomic DNA and/or cDNA library should be constructed using
chromosomal DNA or messenger RNA from the organism that produces
the alpha-amylase to be studied. Then, if the amino acid sequence
of the alpha-amylase is known, homologous, labeled oligonucleotide
probes may be synthesized and used to identify
alpha-amylase-encoding clones from a genomic library prepared from
the organism in question. Alternatively, a labeled oligonucleotide
probe containing sequences homologous to a known alpha-amylase gene
could be used as a probe to identify alpha-amylase-encoding clones,
using hybridization and washing conditions of lower stringency.
[0081] Yet another method for identifying alpha-amylase-encoding
clones would involve inserting fragments of genomic DNA into an
expression vector, such as a plasmid, transforming
alpha-amylase-negative bacteria with the resulting genomic DNA
library, and then plating the transformed bacteria onto agar
containing a substrate for alpha-amylase, thereby allowing clones
expressing the alpha-amylase to be identified.
[0082] Alternatively, the DNA sequence encoding the enzyme may be
prepared synthetically by established standard methods, e.g., the
phosphoroamidite method described by Beaucage and Caruthers, 1981,
Tetrahedron Letters 22: 1859-1869, or the method described by
Matthes et al., 1984, The EMBO J. 3: 801-805. In the
phosphoroamidite method, oligonucleotides are synthesized, e.g., in
an automatic DNA synthesizer, purified, annealed, ligated and
cloned in appropriate vectors.
[0083] Finally, the DNA sequence may be of mixed genomic and
synthetic origin, mixed synthetic and cDNA origin or mixed genomic
and cDNA origin, prepared by ligating fragments of synthetic,
genomic or cDNA origin (as appropriate, the fragments corresponding
to various parts of the entire DNA sequence), in accordance with
standard techniques. The DNA sequence may also be prepared by
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using specific primers, for
instance as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,202 or Saiki et al.,
1988, Science 239: 487-491.
Site-Directed Mutagenesis
[0084] Once an alpha-amylase-encoding DNA sequence has been
isolated, and desirable sites for mutation identified, mutations
may be introduced using synthetic oligonucleotides. These
oligonucleotides contain nucleotide sequences flanking the desired
mutation sites; mutant nucleotides are inserted during
oligonucleotide synthesis. In a specific method, a single-stranded
gap of DNA, bridging the alpha-amylase-encoding sequence, is
created in a vector carrying the alpha-amylase gene. Then the
synthetic nucleotide, bearing the desired mutation, is annealed to
a homologous portion of the single-stranded DNA. The remaining gap
is then filled in with DNA polymerase I (Klenow fragment) and the
construct is ligated using T4 ligase. A specific example of this
method is described in Morinaga et al. (1984). U.S. Pat. No.
4,760,025 discloses the introduction of oligonucleotides encoding
multiple mutations by performing minor alterations of the cassette.
However, an even greater variety of mutations can be introduced at
any one time by the Morinaga method, because a multitude of
oligonucleotides, of various lengths, can be introduced.
[0085] Another method for introducing mutations into
alpha-amylase-encoding DNA sequences is described in Nelson and
Long (1989). It involves the 3-step generation of a PCR fragment
containing the desired mutation introduced by using a chemically
synthesized DNA strand as one of the primers in the PCR reactions.
From the PCR-generated fragment, a DNA fragment carrying the
mutation may be isolated by cleavage with restriction endonucleases
and reinserted into an expression plasmid.
[0086] Alternative methods for providing variants of the invention
include gene shuffling, e.g., as described in WO 95/22625 (from
Affymax Technologies N.V.) or in WO 96/00343 (from Novo Nordisk
A/S), or other corresponding techniques resulting in a hybrid
enzyme comprising the mutation(s), e.g., substitution(s) and/or
deletion(s), in question. Examples of parent alpha-amylases, which
suitably may be used for providing a hybrid with the desired
mutations(s) according to the invention include the KSM-K36 and
KSM-K38 alpha-amylases disclosed in EP 1,022,334 (hereby
incorporated by reference).
Expression of Alpha-Amylase Variants
[0087] According to the invention, a DNA sequence encoding the
variant produced by methods described above, or by any alternative
methods known in the art, can be expressed, in enzyme form, using
an expression vector which typically includes control sequences
encoding a promoter, operator, ribosome binding site, translation
initiation signal, and, optionally, a repressor gene or various
activator genes.
[0088] The recombinant expression vector carrying the DNA sequence
encoding an alpha-amylase variant of the invention may be any
vector, which may conveniently be subjected to recombinant DNA
procedures, and the choice of vector will often depend on the host
cell into which it is to be introduced. Thus, the vector may be an
autonomously replicating vector, i.e., a vector which exists as an
extrachromosomal entity, the replication of which is independent of
chromosomal replication, e.g., a plasmid, a bacteriophage or an
extrachromosomal element, minichromosome or an artificial
chromosome. Alternatively, the vector may be one which, when
introduced into a host cell, is integrated into the host cell
genome and replicated together with the chromosome(s) into which it
has been integrated.
[0089] In the vector, the DNA sequence should be operably connected
to a suitable promoter sequence. The promoter may be any DNA
sequence, which shows transcriptional activity in the host cell of
choice and may be derived from genes encoding proteins either
homologous or heterologous to the host cell. Examples of suitable
promoters for directing the transcription of the DNA sequence
encoding an alpha-amylase variant of the invention, especially in a
bacterial host, are the promoter of the lac operon of E. coli, the
Streptomyces coelicolor agarase gene dagA promoters, the promoters
of the Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase gene (amyL), the
promoters of the Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase
gene (amyM), the promoters of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens
alpha-amylase (amyQ), the promoters of the Bacillus subtilis xylA
and xylB genes etc. For transcription in a fungal host, examples of
useful promoters are those derived from the gene encoding A. oryzae
TAKA amylase, Rhizomucor miehei aspartic proteinase, A. niger
neutral alpha-amylase, A. niger acid stable alpha-amylase, A. niger
glucoamylase, Rhizomucor miehei lipase, A. oryzae alkaline
protease, A. oryzae triose phosphate isomerase or A. nidulans
acetamidase.
[0090] The expression vector of the invention may also comprise a
suitable transcription terminator and, in eukaryotes,
polyadenylation sequences operably connected to the DNA sequence
encoding the alpha-amylase variant of the invention. Termination
and polyadenylation sequences may suitably be derived from the same
sources as the promoter.
[0091] The vector may further comprise a DNA sequence enabling the
vector to replicate in the host cell in question. Examples of such
sequences are the origins of replication of plasmids pUC19,
pACYC177, pUB110, pE194, pAMB1 and pIJ702.
[0092] The vector may also comprise a selectable marker, e.g., a
gene the product of which complements a defect in the host cell,
such as the dal genes from B. subtilis or B. licheniformis, or one
which confers antibiotic resistance such as ampicillin, kanamycin,
chloramphenicol or tetracyclin resistance. Furthermore, the vector
may comprise Aspergillus selection markers such as amdS, argB, niaD
and sC, a marker giving rise to hygromycin resistance, or the
selection may be accomplished by co-transformation, e.g., as
described in WO 91/17243.
[0093] While intracellular expression may be advantageous in some
respects, e.g., when using certain bacteria as host cells, it is
generally preferred that the expression is extracellular. In
general, the Bacillus alpha-amylases mentioned herein comprise a
preregion permitting secretion of the expressed protease into the
culture medium. If desirable, this preregion may be replaced by a
different preregion or signal sequence, conveniently accomplished
by substitution of the DNA sequences encoding the respective
preregions.
[0094] The procedures used to ligate the DNA construct of the
invention encoding an alpha-amylase variant, the promoter,
terminator and other elements, respectively, and to insert them
into suitable vectors containing the information necessary for
replication, are well known to persons skilled in the art (cf., for
instance, Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual,
2nd Ed., Cold Spring Harbor, 1989).
[0095] The cell of the invention, either comprising a DNA construct
or an expression vector of the invention as defined above, is
advantageously used as a host cell in the recombinant production of
an alpha-amylase variant of the invention. The cell may be
transformed with the DNA construct of the invention encoding the
variant, conveniently by integrating the DNA construct (in one or
more copies) in the host chromosome. This integration is generally
considered to be an advantage as the DNA sequence is more likely to
be stably maintained in the cell. Integration of the DNA constructs
into the host chromosome may be performed according to conventional
methods, e.g., by homologous or heterologous recombination.
Alternatively, the cell may be transformed with an expression
vector as described above in connection with the different types of
host cells.
[0096] The cell of the invention may be a cell of a higher organism
such as a mammal or an insect, but is preferably a microbial cell,
e.g., a bacterial or a fungal (including yeast) cell.
[0097] Examples of suitable bacteria are gram-positive bacteria
such as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus lentus,
Bacillus brevis, Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bacillus
alkalophilus, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus coagulans,
Bacillus circulans, Bacillus lautus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus
thuringiensis, or Streptomyces lividans or Streptomyces murinus, or
gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli. The transformation of the
bacteria may, for instance, be effected by protoplast
transformation or by using competent cells in a manner known per
se.
[0098] The yeast organism may favorably be selected from a species
of Saccharomyces or Schizosaccharomyces, e.g., Saccharomyces
cerevisiae. The filamentous fungus may advantageously belong to a
species of Aspergillus, e.g., Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus
niger. Fungal cells may be transformed by a process involving
protoplast formation and transformation of the protoplasts followed
by regeneration of the cell wall in a manner known per se. A
suitable procedure for transformation of Aspergillus host cells is
described in EP 238 023.
[0099] In a yet further aspect, the present invention relates to a
method of producing an alpha-amylase variant of the invention,
which method comprises cultivating a host cell as described above
under conditions conducive to the production of the variant and
recovering the variant from the cells and/or culture medium.
[0100] The medium used to cultivate the cells may be any
conventional medium suitable for growing the host cell in question
and obtaining expression of the alpha-amylase variant of the
invention. Suitable media are available from commercial suppliers
or may be prepared according to published recipes (e.g., as
described in catalogues of the American Type Culture
Collection).
[0101] The alpha-amylase variant secreted from the host cells may
conveniently be recovered from the culture medium by well-known
procedures, including separating the cells from the medium by
centrifugation or filtration, and precipitating proteinaceous
components of the medium by means of a salt such as ammonium
sulphate, followed by the use of chromatographic procedures such as
ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, or the
like.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

liter of wash/dishwash liquor using conventional dosing levels of
detergent.

Methods:
Low pH Filter Assay
[0115] Bacillus libraries are plated on a sandwich of cellulose
acetate (OE 67, Schleicher & Schuell, Dassel, Germany)--and
nitrocellulose filters (Protran-Ba 85, Schleicher & Schuell,
Dassel, Germany) on TY agar plates with 10 micrograms/ml
chloramphenicol at 37.degree. C. for at least 21 hours. The
cellulose acetate layer is located on the TY agar plate.
[0116] Each filter sandwich is specifically marked with a needle
after plating, but before incubation in order to be able to
localize positive variants on the filter, and the nitrocellulose
filter with bound variants is transferred to a container with
citrate buffer, pH 4.5 and incubated at 80.degree. C. for 20
minutes (when screening for variants in the wild type backbone) or
85.degree. C. for 60 minutes (when screening for variants in the
LE399 backbone). The cellulose acetate filters with colonies are
stored on the TY-plates at room temperature until use. After
incubation, residual activity is detected on assay plates
containing 1% agarose, 0.2% starch in citrate buffer, pH 6.0. The
assay plates with nitrocellulose filters are marked the same way as
the filter sandwich and incubated for 2 hours at 50.degree. C.
After removal of the filters the assay plates are stained with 10%
Lugol solution. Starch degrading variants are detected as white
spots on dark blue background and then identified on the storage
plates. Positive variants are re-screened twice under the same
conditions as the first screen.
Secondary Screening
[0117] Positive transformants after rescreening are picked from the
storage plate and tested in a secondary plate assay. Positive
transformants are grown for 22 hours at 37.degree. C. in 5 ml
LB+chloramphenicol. The Bacillus culture of each positive
transformant and as a control a clone expressing the corresponding
backbone are incubated in citrate buffer, pH 4.5 at 90.degree. C.
and samples are taken at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 80 minutes. A 3
microliter sample is spotted on an assay plate. The assay plate is
stained with 10% Lugol solution. Improved variants are seen as
variants with higher residual activity (detected as halos on the
assay plate) than the backbone. The improved variants are
determined by nucleotide sequencing.
Stability Assay of Unpurified Variants:
[0118] Bacillus cultures expressing the variants to be analyzed are
grown for 21 hours at 37.degree. C. in 10 ml LB+chloramphenicol.
800 microliter culture is mixed with 200 microliters citrate
buffer, pH 4.5. A number of 70 microliter aliquots corresponding to
the number of sample time points are made in PCR tubes and
incubated at 70.degree. C. (for variants in the wt backbone) or
90.degree. C. (for variants in LE399) for various time points
(typically 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes) in a PCR machine. The
0 min sample is not incubated at high temperature. Activity in the
sample is measured by transferring 20 microliters to 200
microliters of the alpha-amylase PNP-G7 substrate MPR3 ((Boehringer
Mannheim Cat. no. 1660730) as described below under "Assays for
Alpha-Amylase Activity". Results are plotted as percentage activity
(relative to the 0 time point) versus time, or stated as percentage
residual activity after incubation for a certain period of
time.
Fermentation and Purification of Alpha-Amylase Variants
[0119] A B. subtilis strain harboring the relevant expression
plasmid is streaked on an LB-agar plate with 10 micrograms/ml
kanamycin from -80.degree. C. stock, and grown overnight at
37.degree. C.
[0120] The colonies are transferred to 100 ml PS-1 media
supplemented with 10 micrograms/ml chloamphinicol in a 500 ml
shaking flask.

[0121] Cells and cell debris are removed from the fermentation
broth by centrifugation at 4500 rpm in 20-25 minutes. Afterwards
the supernatant is filtered to obtain a completely clear solution.
The filtrate is concentrated and washed on a UF-filter (10000 cut
off membrane) and the buffer is changed to 20 mM Acetate pH 5.5.
The UF-filtrate is applied on a S-sepharose F.F. and elution is
carried out by step elution with 0.2 M NaCl in the same buffer. The
eluate is dialysed against 10 mM Tris, pH 9.0 and applied on a
Q-sepharose F.F. and eluted with a linear gradient from 0-0.3 M
NaCl over 6 column volumes. The fractions that contain the activity
(measured by the Phadebas assay) are pooled, pH was adjusted to pH
7.5 and remaining color was removed by a treatment with 0.5% W/vol.
active coal in 5 minutes.
Stability Determination of Purified Variants
[0122] All stability trials of purified variants are made using the
same set up. The method is as follows:
[0123] The enzyme is incubated under the relevant conditions (1-4).
Samples are taken at various time points, e.g., after 0, 5, 10, 15
and 30 minutes and diluted 25 times (same dilution for all taken
samples) in assay buffer (0.1 M 50 mM Britton buffer pH 7.3) and
the activity is measured using the Phadebas assay (Pharmacia) under
standard conditions pH 7.3, 37.degree. C.
[0124] The activity measured before incubation (0 minutes) is used
as reference (100%). The decline in percent is calculated as a
function of the incubation time. The table shows the residual
activity after, e.g., 30 minutes of incubation.
Specific Activity Determination
[0125] The specific activity is determined using the Phadebas assay
(Pharmacia) as activity/mg enzyme. The manufacturer's instructions
are followed (see also below under "Assay for .alpha.-amylase
activity").
Assays for Alpha-Amylase Activity
1. Phadebas Assay
[0126] Alpha-amylase activity is determined by a method employing
Phadebas.RTM. tablets as substrate. Phadebas tablets (Phadebas.RTM.
Amylase Test, supplied by Pharmacia Diagnostic) contain a
cross-linked insoluble blue-colored starch polymer, which has been
mixed with bovine serum albumin and a buffer substance and
tabletted.
[0127] For every single measurement one tablet is suspended in a
tube containing 5 ml 50 mM Britton-Robinson buffer (50 mM acetic
acid, 50 mM phosphoric acid, 50 mM boric acid, 0.1 mM CaCl.sub.2,
pH adjusted to the value of interest with NaOH). The test is
performed in a water bath at the temperature of interest. The
alpha-amylase to be tested is diluted in x ml of 50 mM
Britton-Robinson buffer. 1 ml of this alpha-amylase solution is
added to the 5 ml 50 mM Britton-Robinson buffer. The starch is
hydrolyzed by the alpha-amylase giving soluble blue fragments. The
absorbance of the resulting blue solution, measured
spectrophotometrically at 620 nm, is a function of the
alpha-amylase activity.
[0128] It is important that the measured 620 nm absorbance after 10
or 15 minutes of incubation (testing time) is in the range of 0.2
to 2.0 absorbance units at 620 nm. In this absorbance range there
is linearity between activity and absorbance (Lambert-Beer law).
The dilution of the enzyme must therefore be adjusted to fit this
criterion. Under a specified set of conditions (temp., pH, reaction
time, buffer conditions) 1 mg of a given alpha-amylase will
hydrolyze a certain amount of substrate and a blue color will be
produced. The color intensity is measured at 620 nm. The measured
absorbance is directly proportional to the specific activity
(activity/mg of pure alpha-amylase protein) of the alpha-amylase in
question under the given set of conditions.
2. Alternative Method
[0129] Alpha-amylase activity is determined by a method employing
the PNP-G7 substrate. PNP-G7 which is a abbreviation for
p-nitrophenyl-alpha,D-maltoheptaoside is a blocked oligosaccharide
which can be cleaved by an endo-amylase. Following the cleavage,
the alpha-glucosidase included in the kit digest the substrate to
liberate a free PNP molecule which has a yellow colour and thus can
be measured by visible spectophometry at .lamda.=405 nm (400-420
nm). Kits containing PNP-G7 substrate and alpha-Glucosidase is
manufactured by Boehringer-Mannheim (cat. No. 1054635).
[0130] To prepare the reagent solution 10 ml of substrate/buffer
solution is added to 50 ml enzyme/buffer solution as recommended by
the manufacturer. The assay is performed by transferring 20
microliter sample to a 96 well microtiter plate and incubating at
25.degree. C. 200 microliters reagent solution pre-equilibrated to
25.degree. C. is added. The solution is mixed and pre-incubated 1
minute and absorption is measured every 30 sec. over 4 minutes at
OD 405 nm in an ELISA reader.
[0131] The slope of the time dependent absorption-curve is directly
proportional to the activity of the alpha-amylase in question under
the given set of conditions.
EXAMPLES
Example 1
[0132] Construction, by error-prone PCR mutagenesis, of Bacillus
licheniformis alpha-amylase variants having an improved stability
at low pH, high temperature and low calcium ion concentration
compared to the parent enzyme.
Error-Prone PCR Mutagenesis and Library Construction
[0133] To improve the stability at low pH and low calcium
concentration of the parent Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase,
error-prone PCR mutagenesis was performed. The plasmid pDN1528
encoding the wild-type Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase gene
was utilized as template to amplify this gene with primers: 22149:
5'-CGA TTG CTG ACG CTG TTA TTT GCG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 14) and 24814:
5'-GAT CAC CCG CGA TAC CGT C-3' (SEQ ID NO: 15) under PCR
conditions where increased error rates leads to introduction of
random point mutations. The PCR conditions utilized were: 10 mM
Tris-HCl, pH 8.3, 50 mM KCl, 4 mM MgCl.sub.2, 0.3 mM MnCl.sub.2,
0.1 mM dGTP/dATP, 0.5 mM dTTP/dCTP, and 2.5 units Taq polymerase
per 100 microliter reaction.
[0134] The resultant PCR fragment was purified on gel and used in a
PCR-based multimerization step with a gel purified vector fragment
created by PCR amplification of pDN1528 with primers #24: 5'-GAA
TGT ATG TCG GCC GGC AAA ACG CCG GTG A-3' (SEQ ID NO: 16) and #27:
5''-GCC GCC GCT GCT GCA GAA TGA GGC AGC AAG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 17)
forming an overlap to the insert fragment. The multimerization
reaction was subsequently introduced into B. subtilis (Shafikhani
et al., 1997, Biotechniques 23: 304-310).
Screening
[0135] The error-prone library described above was screened in the
low pH filter assay (see "Materials & Methods"). Clones testing
positive upon rescreening was submitted to secondary screening for
stability in the liquid assay described in Materials and
Methods.

Example 2
[0139] Transfer, by site-directed mutagenesis, of a selection of
mutations from Example 1 to a new (non-wild type) backbone to
improve stability at low pH and low calcium ion concentration
compared to the parent enzyme.
Site-Directed Mutagenesis
[0140] Mutations from LE493 (K176R+D207V+Y402F) were transferred to
LE399 yielding LE495. This was performed by the overlap PCR method
(Kirchhoff and Desrosiers, 1993, PCR Methods and Applications, 2:
301-304). 2 overlapping PCR fragments were generated by
amplification of the LE399 template with the primers: Fragment A:
#312 Mut176 5'-CCC GAA AGC TGA ACC GCA TCT ATA GGT TTC AAG GGA AGA
CTT GGG ATT-3' (SEQ ID NO: 18) (mutated codon indicated in bold)
and #290 D207overlap 5'-AGG ATG GTC ATA ATC AAA GTC GG-3'(SEQ ID

Mut402 5'-CGA CAA TGT CAT GGT GGT CGA AAA AAT CAT GCT GTG CTC CGT
ACG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 21). Fragments A and B were mixed in equimolar
ratios and subsequently the full-length fragment was amplified with
the external primers: #312 Mut176 and #314 Mut402. This fragment
was used in a multimerization reaction with the vector PCR fragment
created with the primers #296 Y402multi 5'-TTT CGA CCA CCA TGA CAT
TGT CG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 22) and #305 399Multi176 5'-TAT AGA TGC GGT
TCA GCT TTC GGG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 23) on template LE399 as described
above. The multimerization reaction was subsequently transformed
into B. subtilis. Clones were screened for stability in the assay
mentioned above. The presence of the mutations from LE493 in
several clones with increased stability was confirmed by
sequencing.
[0141] LE 497 was obtained in a similar manner by amplifying the
LE399 encoding template with primers #312 Mut176 and #314 Mut402
and using the resulting PCR fragment in a multimerization reaction
with a vector fragment obtained by PCR amplification of the LE399
template with the primers #296 Y402multi and #305 399Multi176.
