The present invention relates to novel β-ketoacyl ACP synthase genes and methods for using the genes including expressing the genes in oleaginous host cells to produce triglycerides with altered fatty acid profiles.
Certain organisms including plants and some microalgae use a type II fatty acid biosynthetic pathway, characterized by the use of discrete enzymes in a multimeric complex for fatty acid synthesis. In contrast, mammals and fungi use a single, large, multifunctional protein.
In organisms that use a type II fatty acid biosynthetic pathway, β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase I (KAS I, EC 2.3.1.41) is one of the enzymes responsible for elongation of growing medium-chain fatty acyl-ACP from 4 to 16 carbon atoms in length. KAS I uses C2-C14 acyl-ACPs as substrates for condensation with a C2 unit derived from malonyl-ACP. KASIV is a related enzyme that serves a similar elongation function. Thus, KASI and KASIV can both be considered KASI-like enzymes.
Such genes have been introduced to plants using recombinant DNA technology. See for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,301,070, 6,348,642, 6,660,849, 6,770,465 and US2006/0094088 (of which ¶¶194-200 and the entirety of the document are hereby incorporated herein by reference). In plastidic cells such as those from plants, macroalgae and microalgae, KAS I-like enzymes are located in the chloroplasts or other plastids together with other enzyme of the fatty acid synthesis (FAS) pathway.
PCT publications WO2010/063032, WO2011/150411, WO2012/106560, and WO2013/158938 disclose genetic engineering of oleaginous microalgae including targeting of exogenous FAS gene products to the microalgal plastid.
In one aspect, embodiments of the invention include a non-natural, isolated polynucleotide having at least 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% sequence identity or equivalent sequence by virtue of the degeneracy of the genetic code to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 21-37, or 39-55, or encoding a KASI-like protein having at least 80, 85, 85.5, 86, 86.5, 87, 87.5, 88, 88.5, 89, 89.5, 90, 90.5, 91, 91.5, 92, 92.5, 93, 93.5, 94, 94.5, 95, 95.5, 96, 96.5, 97, 97.5, 98, 98.5, 99 or 99.5% amino acid sequence identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 2-18, 62-72, or a mature protein produced therefrom, or the complement of the polynucleotide.
In another aspect, embodiments of the invention include a transformation vector comprising a cDNA molecule comprising a polynucleotide as discussed above. In some cases, the vector comprises promoter and 3′UTR sequences in operable linkage to the cDNA, and optionally a flanking sequence for homologous recombination. The promoter or the 3′UTR sequences are heterologous nucleotide sequences. The heterologous promoter or the heterologous 3′UTR sequences can be from a different organism than the organism from which the nucleotide sequences encoding KAS was first obtained.
In one aspect, the transformation vector comprises a heterologous promoter or a heterologous 3′UTR sequence obtained from the same organism from which the KAS gene was first isolated. When the promoter sequence, the 3′UTR sequence and the KAS nucleotide sequences are from the same organism, the heterologous promoter does not naturally drive the expression of KAS, and the 3′UTR does not naturally occur downstream from the KAS nucleotide sequences in the source organism.
In yet another aspect, the transformation vector is used to express the KAS gene in the organism from which the KAS gene was first isolated. When the KAS gene is recombinantly expressed in the organism from which the KAS gene was first isolated, the gene is expressed in a different chromosomal locus than the natural chromosomal locus of the KAS gene. Alternatively, the KAS gene is expressed in the cytoplasm.
In another aspect, embodiments of the invention include a host cell comprising the polynucleotide and/or the vector discussed above, and expressing a functional KAS protein encoded by the cDNA. In some cases, the host cell further comprises an exogenous gene encoding a functional FATA acyl-ACP thioesterase or FATB acyl-ACP thioesterase. In one aspect, the FATB acyl-ACP thioesterase has at least 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% amino acid sequence identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 57. In some cases, the host cell produces a cell oil characterized by a fatty acid profile with (i) at least 30, 40, 50, or 55% C14:0, (ii) at least 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14% C8:0, (iii) at least 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or 35 area % for the sum of C8:0 and C10:0, or (iv) a C8/C10 ratio in the range of 2.2-2.5, 2.5-3.0, or 3.0-3.4. In some cases, the host cell is a plastidic oleaginous cell having a type II fatty acid biosynthesis pathway. In some cases, the host cell is a microalga. In some cases, the host cell is of Trebouxiophyceae, and optionally of the genus Chlorella or Prototheca. In some cases, the microalga is of the species Prototheca moriformis.
In another aspect, embodiments of the invention include a method for making a cell-oil, the method comprising cultivating a host cell as discussed above so as produce the cell-oil, wherein the oil comprises triglcyerides and microalgal sterols. In some cases, the cell oil comprises sterols characterized by a sterol profile and the sterol profile has an excess of ergosterol over β-sitosterol and/or the presence of 22, 23-dihydrobrassicasterol, poriferasterol or clionasterol.
As used with respect to nucleic acids, the term “isolated” refers to a nucleic acid that is free of at least one other component that is typically present with the naturally occurring nucleic acid. Thus, a naturally occurring nucleic acid is isolated if it has been purified away from at least one other component that occurs naturally with the nucleic acid.
A “cell oil” or “cell fat” shall mean a predominantly triglyceride oil obtained from an organism, where the oil has not undergone blending with another natural or synthetic oil, or fractionation so as to substantially alter the fatty acid profile of the triglyceride. In connection with an oil comprising triglycerides of a particular regiospecificity, the cell oil or cell fat has not been subjected to interesterification or other synthetic process to obtain that regiospecific triglyceride profile, rather the regiospecificity is produced naturally, by a cell or population of cells. For a cell oil or cell fat produced by a cell, the sterol profile of oil is generally determined by the sterols produced by the cell, not by artificial reconstitution of the oil by adding sterols in order to mimic the cell oil. In connection with a cell oil or cell fat, and as used generally throughout the present disclosure, the terms oil and fat are used interchangeably, except where otherwise noted. Thus, an “oil” or a “fat” can be liquid, solid, or partially solid at room temperature, depending on the makeup of the substance and other conditions. Here, the term “fractionation” means removing material from the oil in a way that changes its fatty acid profile relative to the profile produced by the organism, however accomplished. The terms “cell oil” and “cell fat” encompass such oils obtained from an organism, where the oil has undergone minimal processing, including refining, bleaching and/or degumming, which does not substantially change its triglyceride profile. A cell oil can also be a “noninteresterified cell oil”, which means that the cell oil has not undergone a process in which fatty acids have been redistributed in their acyl linkages to glycerol and remain essentially in the same configuration as when recovered from the organism.
“Exogenous gene” shall mean a nucleic acid that codes for the expression of an RNA and/or protein that has been introduced into a cell (e.g. by transformation/transfection), and is also referred to as a “transgene”. A cell comprising an exogenous gene may be referred to as a recombinant cell, into which additional exogenous gene(s) may be introduced. The exogenous gene may be from a different species (and so heterologous), or from the same species (and so homologous), relative to the cell being transformed. Thus, an exogenous gene can include a homologous gene that occupies a different location in the genome of the cell or is under different control, relative to the endogenous copy of the gene. An exogenous gene may be present in more than one copy in the cell. An exogenous gene may be maintained in a cell, for example, as an insertion into the genome (nuclear or plastid) or as an episomal molecule.
“Fatty acids” shall mean free fatty acids, fatty acid salts, or fatty acyl moieties in a glycerolipid. It will be understood that fatty acyl groups of glycerolipids can be described in terms of the carboxylic acid or anion of a carboxylic acid that is produced when the triglyceride is hydrolyzed or saponified.
“Microalgae” are microbial organisms that contain a chloroplast or other plastid, and optionally that are capable of performing photosynthesis, or a prokaryotic microbial organism capable of performing photosynthesis. Microalgae include obligate photoautotrophs, which cannot metabolize a fixed carbon source as energy, as well as heterotrophs, which can live solely off of a fixed carbon source. Microalgae include unicellular organisms that separate from sister cells shortly after cell division, such as Chlamydomonas, as well as microbes such as, for example, Volvox, which is a simple multicellular photosynthetic microbe of two distinct cell types. Microalgae include cells such as Chlorella, Dunaliella, and Prototheca. Microalgae also include other microbial photosynthetic organisms that exhibit cell-cell adhesion, such as Agmenellum, Anabaena, and Pyrobotrys. Microalgae also include obligate heterotrophic microorganisms that have lost the ability to perform photosynthesis, such as certain dinoflagellate algae species and species of the genus Prototheca.
An “oleaginous” cell is a cell capable of producing at least 20% lipid by dry cell weight, naturally or through recombinant or classical strain improvement. An “oleaginous microbe” or “oleaginous microorganism” is a microbe, including a microalga that is oleaginous.
The term “percent sequence identity,” in the context of two or more amino acid or nucleic acid sequences, refers to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same or have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same, when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence, as measured using a sequence comparison algorithm or by visual inspection. For sequence comparison to determine percent nucleotide or amino acid identity, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are input into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identity for the test sequence(s) relative to the reference sequence, based on the designated program parameters. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted using the NCBI BLAST software (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/) set to default parameters. For example, to compare two nucleic acid sequences, one may use blastn with the “BLAST 2 Sequences” tool Version 2.0.12 (Apr. 21, 2000) set at the following default parameters: Matrix: BLOSUM62; Reward for match: 1; Penalty for mismatch: −2; Open Gap: 5 and Extension Gap: 2 penalties; Gap x drop-off: 50; Expect: 10; Word Size: 11; Filter: on. For a pairwise comparison of two amino acid sequences, one may use the “BLAST 2 Sequences” tool Version 2.0.12 (Apr. 21, 2000) with blastp set, for example, at the following default parameters: Matrix: BLOSUM62; Open Gap: 11 and Extension Gap: 1 penalties; Gap x drop-off 50; Expect: 10; Word Size: 3; Filter: on.
Where multiple sequence identities are given for a strain having a pair of exogenous genes, this encompasses all combinations of sequence identities. For example, coexpression of a first gene encoding a first protein having at least 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% with gene A and a second gene encoding a second protein having at least 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% with gene A shall be understood to encompass (i) at least 85% identity with gene A and least 85% identity with gene B, (ii)) at least 85% identity with gene A and least 99% identity with gene B, (iii) at least 92% identity with gene A and least 95% identity with gene B, and all other combinations.
In connection with a cell oil, a “profile” is the distribution of particular species of triglycerides or fatty acyl groups within the oil. A “fatty acid profile” is the distribution of fatty acyl groups in the triglycerides of the oil without reference to attachment to a glycerol backbone. Fatty acid profiles are typically determined by conversion to a fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), followed by gas chromatography (GC) analysis with flame ionization detection (FID). The fatty acid profile can be expressed as one or more percent of a fatty acid in the total fatty acid signal determined from the area under the curve for that fatty acid. FAME-GC-FID measurement approximate weight percentages of the fatty acids.
As used herein, an oil is said to be “enriched” in one or more particular fatty acids if there is at least a 10% increase in the mass of that fatty acid in the oil relative to the non-enriched oil. For example, in the case of a cell expressing a heterologous FatB gene described herein, the oil produced by the cell is said to be enriched in, e.g., C8 and C16 fatty acids if the mass of these fatty acids in the oil is at least 10% greater than in oil produced by a cell of the same type that does not express the heterologous FatB gene (e.g., wild type oil).
“Recombinant” is a cell, nucleic acid, protein or vector that has been modified due to the introduction of an exogenous nucleic acid or the alteration of a native nucleic acid. Thus, e.g., recombinant (host) cells can express genes that are not found within the native (non-recombinant) form of the cell or express native genes differently than those genes are expressed by a non-recombinant cell. Recombinant cells can, without limitation, include recombinant nucleic acids that encode a gene product or suppression elements such as mutations, knockouts, antisense, interfering RNA (RNAi) or dsRNA that reduce the levels of active gene product in a cell. A “recombinant nucleic acid” is a nucleic acid originally formed in vitro, in general, by the manipulation of nucleic acid, e.g., using polymerases, ligases, exonucleases, and endonucleases, using chemical synthesis, or otherwise is in a form not normally found in nature. Recombinant nucleic acids may be produced, for example, to place two or more nucleic acids in operable linkage. Thus, an isolated nucleic acid or an expression vector formed in vitro by nucleic by ligating DNA molecules that are not normally joined in nature, are both considered recombinant for the purposes of this invention. Recombinant nucleic acids can also be produced in other ways; e.g., using chemical DNA synthesis. Once a recombinant nucleic acid is made and introduced into a host cell or organism, it may replicate using the in vivo cellular machinery of the host cell; however, such nucleic acids, once produced recombinantly, although subsequently replicated intracellularly, are still considered recombinant for purposes of this invention. Similarly, a “recombinant protein” is a protein made using recombinant techniques, i.e., through the expression of a recombinant nucleic acid.
A “KAS I-like” gene or enzyme shall mean either a KAS I or KAS IV gene or enzyme.
Embodiments of the present invention relate to the use of KASI-like genes isolated from plants or other organisms, which can be expressed in a transgenic host cell in order to alter the fatty acid profile of a cell-oil produced by the host cell. Although the microalga Prototheca moriformis was used to screen the genes for ability to the alter fatty acid profile, the genes discovered are useful in a wide variety of host cells for which genetic transformation techniques are known. For example, the genes can be expressed in bacteria, cyanobacteria, other eukaryotic microalgae, or higher plants. The genes can be expressed in higher plants according to the methods disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,301,070, 6,348,642, 6,660,849, and 6,770,465. We have found that KASI-like transgenes can be used alone or in combination with a FatB transgene (encoding an active acyl-ACP thioesterase) can boost the levels of mid-chain fatty acids (e.g., capric, caprylic, lauric, myristic or palmitic acids) in the fatty acid profile of the cell oil. Combining an exogenous KASI-like gene with an exogenous FATA or FATB gene in a host cell can give levels of mid-chain fatty acids and/or long-chain fatty acids (e.g., stearic or oleic) greater than either exogenous gene alone. The fatty acids of the cell oil can be further converted to triglycerides, fatty aldehydes, fatty alcohols and other oleochemicals either synthetically or biosynthetically.
In specific embodiments, triglycerides are produced by a host cell expressing a novel KASI-like gene (from a novel cDNA and/or under control of a heterologous promoter). A cell oil can be recovered from the host cell. Typically, the cell oil comprises mainly triglycerides and sterols. The cell oil can be refined, degummed, bleached and/or deodorized. The oil, in its unprocesssed or processed form, can be used for foods, chemicals, fuels, cosmetics, plastics, and other uses. In other embodiments, the KASI-like gene may not be novel, but the expression of the gene in a microalga is novel.
The KAS genes can be used in a variety of genetic constructs including plasmids or other vectors for expression or recombination in a host cell. The genes can be codon optimized for expression in a target host cell. The genes can be included in an expression cassette that includes a promoter (e.g., a heterologous promoter) and downstream regulatory element. The vector can include flanking sequences for homologous recombination. For example, the vector can cause insertion into a chromosome of the host cell, where it can be stably expressed. The proteins produced by the genes can be used in vivo or in purified form. In an embodiment, an expression cassette comprises a homologous promoter, a CDS operable to express a KASI-like enzyme of Table 1 and a 3′UTR. The 3′UTR can comprise a polyadenylation site.
As described in the examples below, novel KAS genes are were discovered from cDNA produced from plant seed mRNA transcripts. Accordingly the gene sequences are non-natural because they lack introns that are present in the plant genes and mRNA transcripts of the genes prior to mRNA splicing. Accordingly, the invention comprises an isolated non-natural KASI-like gene of Table 1. Further departure from the natural gene is in the use of heterologous regulatory elements and expression in host cells for which such genes do not occur in nature.
For example, the gene can be prepared in an expression vector comprising an operably linked promoter and 5′UTR. Where a plastidic cell is used as the host, a suitably active plastid targeting peptide (also referred to below as a “transit peptide”) can be fused to the KASI-like gene, as in the examples below. The disclosed genes comprise a hydrophobic N-terminal plastid targeting sequence, which can be replaced with alternative targeting sequence and varied in length. Varying the plastid targeting peptide can improve cellular localization and enzyme activity for a given host-cell type. Thus, the invention contemplates deletions and fusion proteins in order to optimize enzyme activity in a given host cell. For example, a transit peptide from the host or related species may be used instead of that of the newly discovered plant genes described here. Additional terminal or internal deletions may be made so-long as the enzymatic activity is retained. The targeting peptide can be cleaved by the host cell to produce a mature KASI-like protein that lacks the targeting peptide.
A selectable marker gene may be included in the vector to assist in isolating a transformed cell. Examples of selectable markers useful in microalgae include sucrose invertase, alpha galactosidase (for selection on melibiose) and antibiotic resistance genes.
The gene sequences disclosed can also be used to prepare antisense, or inhibitory RNA (e.g., RNAi or hairpin RNA) to inhibit complementary genes in a plant or other organism. For example, armed with the knowledge of a gene sequence of Table 1, one can engineer a plant with the same or similar KASI-like gene to express an RNAi construct, gene knockout, point mutation, or the like, and thereby reduce the KASI or KASIV activity of the plant's seed. As a result, the plant can produce an oil with an altered fatty acid profile in which the mean chain length is decreased or increased, depending on the presence of other fatty acid synthesis genes.
KASI-like genes/proteins found to be useful in producing desired fatty acid profiles in a cell are summarized below in Table 1, and related proteins discovered from transcript sequencing (as in Examples 1-2) are shown in Table 1a. Nucleic acids or proteins having the sequence of SEQ ID NOS: 2-18, 59, 62-72, 21-37 or 39-55 can be used to alter the fatty acid profile of a recombinant cell. Variant nucleic acids can also be used; e.g., variants having at least 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NOS: 21-37 or 39-55. Codon optimization of the genes for a variety of host organisms is contemplated, as is the use of gene fragments. Preferred codons for Prototheca strains and for Chlorella protothecoides are shown below in Tables 2 and 3, respectively. Codon usage for Cuphea wrightii is shown in Table 4. Codon usage for Arabidopsis is shown in Table 5; for example, the most preferred codon for each amino acid can be selected. Codon tables for other organisms including microalgae and higher plants are known in the art. In some embodiments, the first and/or second most preferred Prototheca codons are employed for codon optimization. In specific embodiments, the novel amino acid sequences contained in the sequence listings below are converted into nucleic acid sequences according to the most preferred codon usage in Prototheca, Chlorella, Cuphea wrightii, or Arabidopsis as set forth in tables 2 through 3b or nucleic acid sequences having at least 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% sequence identity to these derived nucleic acid sequences. For example, the KASI-like gene can be codon optimized for Prototheca moriformis by substituting most preferred codons according to Table 2 for at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90% of all codons. Likewise, the KASI-like gene can be codon optimized for Chlorella protothecoides by substituting most-preferred codons according to Table 3 for at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90% of all codons. Alternately, the KASI-like gene can be codon optimized for Chlorella protothecoides or Prototheca moriformis by substituting first or second most-preferred codons according to Table 2 or 3 for at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90% of all codons. Codon-optimized genes are non-naturally occurring because they are optimized for expression in a host organism.
In certain embodiments, percent sequence identity for variants of the nucleic acids or proteins discussed above can be calculated by using the full-length nucleic acid sequence (e.g., one of SEQ ID NOS: 21-37 or 39-55 or full-length amino acid sequence (e.g., one of SEQ ID NOS: 2-18) as the reference sequence and comparing the full-length test sequence to this reference sequence. For fragments, percent sequence identity for variants of nucleic acid or protein fragments can be calculated over the entire length of the fragment. In certain embodiments, there is a nucleic acid or protein fragment have at least 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% sequence identity to one of SEQ ID NOS: 21-37, 39-55 or 2-18.
Optionally, the plastidic targeting peptide can be swapped with another peptide that functions to traffic the KASI-like enzyme to a fatty acid synthesizing plastid of a plastidic host cell. Accordingly, in various embodiments of the invention, a transgene or transgenic host cell comprises a nucleotide or corresponding peptidic fusion of a plastic targeting sequence and an enzyme-domain sequence (the sequence remaining after deletion of the transit peptide), where the mature protein has at least 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% sequence identity to an mature protein sequence listed in Table 1 or Table 1a. Plastid transit/targeting peptides are underlined in the accompanying informal sequence listing. Examples of targeting peptides include those of Table 1 and others known in the art, especially in connection with the targeting of KAS I, KAS II, KAS III, FATA, FATB and SAD (stearoyl-ACP desaturase) gene products to chloroplasts or other plastids of plants and microalgae. See examples of Chorophyta given in PCT publications WO2010/063032, WO2011/150411, WO2012/106560, and WO2013/158938. Optionally, the KASI-like genes encode 450, 475 or 500 amino acids or more (with or without the transit peptide), or about 555 residues (with the transit peptide,) in contrast to known truncated sequences.

Gene Combinations
In an embodiment, a gene/gene-product of Table 1 is co-expressed in a host cell with an exogenous FATA or FATB acyl-ACP thioesterase gene. In a specific embodiment, the FATB gene product has at least 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 95.5, 96, 96.5 97, 97.5, 98, 98.5 or 99% amino acid sequence identity to the Cuphea palustris FATB2 (“Cpal FATB2”, accession AAC49180, SEQ ID NO: 1) or C. hookeriana FATB2 (“Ch FATB2”, accession U39834, SEQ ID NO: 57) or fragment thereof. Optionally the FATB gene product has at least 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 95.5, 96, 96.5 97, 97.5, 98, 98.5 or 99% amino acid sequence identity to the non-transit-peptide domain of Cuphea palustris FATB2 (“Cpal FATB2”, accession AAC49180, SEQ ID NO: 1) or C. hookeriana FATB2 (“Ch FATB2”, accession U39834 SEQ ID NO: 57)).
FATA genes encode enzymes that preferentially, but not exclusively, hydrolyze long-chain fatty acids with highest activity towards C18:1. FATB genes encode a group of enzymes with more heterogeneous substrate specificities but generally show higher activity toward saturated fatty acids. The substrate specificities of FATB enzymes are quite heterogenous; there are a number of FATB enzymes that show high activity towards C18:0 and C18:1. FATA and FATB enzymes terminate the synthesis of fatty acids by hydrolyzing the thioester bond between the acyl moiety and the acyl carrier protein (ACP).
In an embodiment, a host cell is transformed to express both a FATA or FATB and KASI-like transgene. The host-cell produces a cell oil. Together, the FATA or FATB and KASI-like genes are expressed to produce their respective gene products and thereby alter the fatty acid profile of the cell oil. The two genes function either additively or synergistically with respect to control strains lacking one of the two genes. Optionally, the host cell is oleaginous and can be an oleaginous eukaryotic microalgae such as those described above or below. The fatty acid profile of the cell oil can be enriched (relative to an appropriate control) in C14:0 (myristic), C8:0, C10:0 or a combination of C8/C10.
In an embodiment, the fatty acid profile of the cell is enriched in C14:0 fatty acids. In this embodiment, the FATB gene expresses an acyl-ACP thioesterase enzyme having at least 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 95.5, 96, 96.5 97, 97.5, 98, 98.5 or 99% amino acid sequence identity percent amino acid identity to the enzyme of SEQ ID NO: 1. The co-expressed KASI-like gene encodes a beta-ketoacyl ACP synthase having at least 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 95.5, 96, 96.5 97, 97.5, 98, 98.5 or 99% amino acid sequence identity percent amino acid identity to the enzyme of SEQ ID NO: 2. Alternately The co-expressed KASI-like gene encodes a beta-ketoacyl ACP synthase having at least 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 95.5, 96, 96.5 97, 97.5, 98, 98.5 or 99% amino acid sequence identity percent amino acid identity to the enzyme of SEQ ID NO: 7. Optionally, the cell oil has a fatty acid profile characterized by at least 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% or at least 55% C14:0 (area % by FAME-GC-FID).
In another embodiment, the fatty acid profile of the cell is enriched in C8:0 and/or C10:0 fatty acids.

Host Cells
The host cell can be a single cell (e.g., microalga, bacteria, yeast) or part of a multicellular organism such as a plant or fungus. Methods for expressing KASI-like genes in a plant are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,301,070, 6,348,642, 6,660,849, and 6,770,465, or can be accomplished using other techniques generally known in plant biotechnology. Engineering of eukaryotic oleaginous microbes including eukaryotic microalgae (e.g., of Chlorophyta) is disclosed in WO2010/063032, WO2011/150411, and WO2012/106560 and in the examples below.
Examples of oleaginous host cells include plant cells and microbial cells having a type II fatty acid biosynthetic pathway, including plastidic oleaginous cells such as those of oleaginous algae. Specific examples of microalgal cells include heterotrophic or obligate heterotrophic eukaryotic microalgae of the phylum Chlorophtya, the class Trebouxiophytae, the order Chlorellales, or the family Chlorellacae. Examples of eukaryotic oleaginous microalgae host cells are provided in Published PCT Patent Applications WO2008/151149, WO2010/06032, WO2011/150410, and WO2011/150411, including species of Chlorella and Prototheca, a genus comprising obligate heterotrophs. The oleaginous cells can be, for example, capable of producing 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 85, or about 90% oil by cell weight, ±5%. Optionally, the oils produced can be low in DHA or EPA fatty acids. For example, the oils can comprise less than 5%, 2%, or 1% DHA and/or EPA. The above-mentioned publications also disclose methods for cultivating such cells and extracting oil, especially from microalgal cells; such methods are applicable to the cells disclosed herein and incorporated by reference for these teachings. When microalgal cells are used they can be cultivated autotrophically (unless an obligate heterotroph) or in the dark using a sugar (e.g., glucose, fructose and/or sucrose). When cultivated heterotrophically, the cells and cell oil can comprise less than 200 ppm, 20 ppm, or 2 ppm of color-generating impurities or of chlorophyll. In any of the embodiments described herein, the cells can be heterotrophic cells comprising an exogenous invertase gene so as to allow the cells to produce oil from a sucrose feedstock. Alternately, or in addition, the cells can metabolize xylose from cellulosic feedstocks. For example, the cells can be genetically engineered to express one or more xylose metabolism genes such as those encoding an active xylose transporter, a xylulose-5-phosphate transporter, a xylose isomerase, a xylulokinase, a xylitol dehydrogenase and a xylose reductase. See WO2012/154626, “GENETICALLY ENGINEERED MICROORGANISMS THAT METABOLIZE XYLOSE”, published Nov. 15, 2012. The cells can be cultivated on a depolymerized cellulosic feedstock such as acid or enzyme hydrolyzed bagasse, sugar beet pulp, corn stover, wood chips, sawdust or switchgrass. Optionally, the cells can be cultivated on a depolymerized cellulosic feedstock comprising glucose and at least 5, 10, 20, 30 or 40% xylose, while producing at least 20% lipid by dry weight. Optionally, the lipid comprises triglycerides having a fatty acid profile characterized by at least 10, 15 or 20% C12:0
Optionally, the host cell comprises 23S rRNA having at least 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90 or 95% nucleotide sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 58.
Oils and Related Products
The oleaginous cells express one or more exogenous genes encoding fatty acid biosynthesis enzymes. As a result, some embodiments feature cell oils that were not obtainable from a non-plant or non-seed oil, or not obtainable at all.
The oleaginous cells produce a storage oil, which is primarily triacylglyceride and may be stored in storage bodies of the cell. A raw oil may be obtained from the cells by disrupting the cells and isolating the oil. WO2008/151149, WO2010/06032, WO2011/150410, and WO2011/1504 disclose heterotrophic cultivation and oil isolation techniques. For example, oil may be obtained by cultivating, drying and pressing the cells. The cell oils produced may be refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) as known in the seed-oil art or as described in WO2010/120939. The refining step may comprise degumming. The raw, refined, or RBD oils may be used in a variety of food, chemical, and industrial products or processes. After recovery of the oil, a valuable residual biomass remains. Uses for the residual biomass include the production of paper, plastics, absorbents, adsorbents, as animal feed, for human nutrition, or for fertilizer.
Where a fatty acid profile of a triglyceride (also referred to as a “triacylglyceride” or “TAG”) cell oil is given here, it will be understood that this refers to a nonfractionated sample of the storage oil extracted from the cell analyzed under conditions in which phospholipids have been removed or with an analysis method that is substantially insensitive to the fatty acids of the phospholipids (e.g. using chromatography and mass spectrometry). The oil may be subjected to an RBD process to remove phospholipids, free fatty acids and odors yet have only minor or negligible changes to the fatty acid profile of the triglycerides in the oil. Because the cells are oleaginous, in some cases the storage oil will constitute the bulk of all the TAGs in the cell.
The stable carbon isotope value δ13C is an expression of the ratio of 13C/12C relative to a standard (e.g. PDB, carbonite of fossil skeleton of Belemnite americana from Peedee formation of South Carolina). The stable carbon isotope value δ13C (0/00) of the oils can be related to the δ13C value of the feedstock used. In some embodiments, the oils are derived from oleaginous organisms heterotrophically grown on sugar derived from a C4 plant such as corn or sugarcane. In some embodiments the δ13C (0/00) of the oil is from −10 to −17 0/00 or from −13 to −16 0/00.
The oils produced according to the above methods in some cases are made using a microalgal host cell. As described above, the microalga can be, without limitation, be a eukaryotic microalga falling in the classification of Chlorophyta, Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorellales, Chlorellaceae, or Chlorophyceae. It has been found that microalgae of Trebouxiophyceae can be distinguished from vegetable oils based on their sterol profiles. Oil produced by Chlorella protothecoides (a close relative of Prototheca moriformis) was found to produce sterols that appeared to be brassicasterol, ergosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and beta-sitosterol, when detected by GC-MS. However, it is believed that all sterols produced by Chlorella have C2413 stereochemistry. Thus, it is believed that the molecules detected as campesterol, stigmasterol, and beta-sitosterol, are actually 22,23-dihydrobrassicasterol, proferasterol and clionasterol, respectively. Thus, the oils produced by the microalgae described above can be distinguished from plant oils by the presence of sterols with C24α stereochemistry and the absence of C24α stereochemistry in the sterols present. For example, the oils produced may contain 22, 23-dihydrobrassicasterol while lacking campesterol; contain clionasterol, while lacking in beta-sitosterol, and/or contain poriferasterol while lacking stigmasterol. Alternately, or in addition, the oils may contain significant amounts of Δ7-poriferasterol.
In one embodiment, the oils provided herein are not vegetable oils. Vegetable oils are oils extracted from plants and plant seeds. Vegetable oils can be distinguished from the non-plant oils provided herein on the basis of their oil content. A variety of methods for analyzing the oil content can be employed to determine the source of the oil or whether adulteration of an oil provided herein with an oil of a different (e.g. plant) origin has occurred. The determination can be made on the basis of one or a combination of the analytical methods. These tests include but are not limited to analysis of one or more of free fatty acids, fatty acid profile, total triacylglycerol content, diacylglycerol content, peroxide values, spectroscopic properties (e.g. UV absorption), sterol profile, sterol degradation products, antioxidants (e.g. tocopherols), pigments (e.g. chlorophyll), d13C values and sensory analysis (e.g. taste, odor, and mouth feel). Many such tests have been standardized for commercial oils such as the Codex Alimentarius standards for edible fats and oils.
Sterol profile analysis is a particularly well-known method for determining the biological source of organic matter. Campesterol, β-sitosterol, and stigmasterol are common plant sterols, with β-sitosterol being a principle plant sterol. For example, β-sitosterol was found to be in greatest abundance in an analysis of certain seed oils, approximately 64% in corn, 29% in rapeseed, 64% in sunflower, 74% in cottonseed, 26% in soybean, and 79% in olive oil (Gul et al. J. Cell and Molecular Biology 5:71-79, 2006).
Oil isolated from Prototheca moriformis strain UTEX1435 were separately clarified (CL), refined and bleached (RB), or refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) and were tested for sterol content according to the procedure described in JAOCS vol. 60, no. 8, August 1983. Results of the analysis are shown below (units in mg/100 g) in Table 6.
These results show three striking features. First, ergosterol was found to be the most abundant of all the sterols, accounting for about 50% or more of the total sterols. The amount of ergosterol is greater than that of campesterol, beta-sitosterol, and stigmasterol combined. Ergosterol is steroid commonly found in fungus and not commonly found in plants, and its presence particularly in significant amounts serves as a useful marker for non-plant oils. Secondly, the oil was found to contain brassicasterol. With the exception of rapeseed oil, brassicasterol is not commonly found in plant based oils. Thirdly, less than 2% beta-sitosterol was found to be present. Beta-sitosterol is a prominent plant sterol not commonly found in microalgae, and its presence particularly in significant amounts serves as a useful marker for oils of plant origin. In summary, Prototheca moriformis strain UTEX1435 has been found to contain both significant amounts of ergosterol and only trace amounts of beta-sitosterol as a percentage of total sterol content. Accordingly, the ratio of ergosterol:beta-sitosterol or in combination with the presence of brassicasterol can be used to distinguish this oil from plant oils.

For any of the oils or cell-oils disclosed in this application, the oil can have the sterol profile of any column of Table 6, above, with a sterol-by-sterol variation of 30%, 20%, 10% or less.
Sterols contain from 27 to 29 carbon atoms (C27 to C29) and are found in all eukaryotes. Animals exclusively make C27 sterols as they lack the ability to further modify the C27 sterols to produce C28 and C29 sterols. Plants however are able to synthesize C28 and C29 sterols, and C28/C29 plant sterols are often referred to as phytosterols. The sterol profile of a given plant is high in C29 sterols, and the primary sterols in plants are typically the C29 sterols beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol. In contrast, the sterol profile of non-plant organisms contain greater percentages of C27 and C28 sterols. For example the sterols in fungi and in many microalgae are principally C28 sterols. The sterol profile and particularly the striking predominance of C29 sterols over C28 sterols in plants has been exploited for determining the proportion of plant and marine matter in soil samples (Huang, Wen-Yen, Meinschein W. G., “Sterols as ecological indicators”; Geochimica et Cosmochimia Acta. Vol 43. pp 739-745).
In some embodiments the primary sterols in the microalgal oils provided herein are sterols other than beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol. In some embodiments of the microalgal oils, C29 sterols make up less than 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, or 5% by weight of the total sterol content.
In some embodiments the microalgal oils provided herein contain C28 sterols in excess of C29 sterols. In some embodiments of the microalgal oils, C28 sterols make up greater than 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 95% by weight of the total sterol content. In some embodiments the C28 sterol is ergosterol. In some embodiments the C28 sterol is brassicasterol.
In embodiments of the present invention, oleaginous cells expressing one or more of the genes of Table 1 can produce an oil with at least 20, 40, 60 or 70% of C8, C10, C12, C14 or C16 fatty acids. In a specific embodiment, the level of myristate (C14:0) in the oil is greater than 30%.
Thus, in embodiments of the invention, there is a process for producing an oil, triglyceride, fatty acid, or derivative of any of these, comprising transforming a cell with any of the nucleic acids discussed herein. In another embodiment, the transformed cell is cultivated to produce an oil and, optionally, the oil is extracted. Oil extracted in this way can be used to produce food, oleochemicals or other products.
The oils discussed above alone or in combination are useful in the production of foods, fuels and chemicals (including plastics, foams, films, detergents, soaps, etc). The oils, triglycerides, fatty acids from the oils may be subjected to C—H activation, hydroamino methylation, methoxy-carbonation, ozonolysis, enzymatic transformations, epoxidation, methylation, dimerization, thiolation, metathesis, hydro-alkylation, lactonization, or other chemical processes.
After extracting the oil, a residual biomass may be left, which may have use as a fuel, as an animal feed, or as an ingredient in paper, plastic, or other product. For example, residual biomass from heterotrophic algae can be used in such products.
A Prototheca moriformis strain expressing codon optimized Cuphea palustris (Cpal) FATB2 was constructed as described in WO2013/158938, example 53 (p. 231). The amino acid sequence of the Cpal FATB2 gene is given in SEQ ID NO: 1. This strain (S6336) produced a cell oil characterized by a fatty acid profile having about 38% myristic acid (C14:0).
Six KASI-like genes were cloned from seed oil genomes. Total RNA was extracted from dried mature seeds using a liquid-nitrogen-chilled mortar and pestle to break open the seed walls. RNA was then precipitated with an 8M urea, 3M LiCl solution followed by a phenol-chloroform extraction. A cDNA library was generated with oligo dT primers using the purified RNA and subjected to Next Generation sequencing. The novel KAS genes were identified from the assembled transcriptome using BLAST with known KAS genes as bait. The identified KAS gene sequences were codon optimized for expression in Prototheca and synthesized for incorporation into an expression cassette.
To test the impact on myristate accumulation, S6336 was transformed with a linearized plasmid designed for homologous recombination at the pLOOP locus and to express the KASI-like genes with coexpression of a selection marker (see WO2013/1589380). The vector is described in SEQ ID NO 38, the remaining codon optimized KAS genes were substituted into the KAS CDS segment of this vector prior to transformation. As shown in Table 7, increases in C14:0 levels in extracted cell oil were observed with the expression of the C. camphora KASIV (D3147), C. camphora KASI (D3148), U. cahfornica KASI (D3150) or U. cahfornica KASVI (D3152) genes in S6336. Even greater increases in C14:0 levels resulted from expression the KASI gene from C. palustris KASIV (D3145) or C. wrightii KASAI (D3153), with some individual lines producing >50% or >55% C14:0. The C14 production far exceeded the negligible amount found in the wild-type oil (see Table 7a).

P. moriformis strains were constructed that express ChFATB2 acyl-ACP thioesterase together with a KAS gene selected from ten KASI, one KASIII and one mitochondrial KAS were cloned from seed oil genomes, codon optimized and introduced into Prototheca as described in Example 1. The KAS genes were fused to an HA epitope TAG at the c-terminus of each KAS to allow confirmation of protein expression.

The parental strain is a stable microalgal strain expressing the C. hookeriana FATB2 under the control of the pH5-compatible PmUAPA1 promoter. The parental strain accumulates 27.8% C8:0-C10:0 with a C10/C8 ratio of 2.6. All transformants are derived from integrations of the KASI transgenes at the pLOOP locus of the parental strain. Means are calculated from at least 19 individual transformants for each KAS transgene (NL=not listed).
As can be seen from Table 8, expression of the following KAS genes significantly increased C8:0-C10:0 levels: C. avigera KASIVb (D3287), C. procumbens KASIV (D3290), C. paucipetala KASIVa (D3291), C. avigera KASIVa (D3293), and C. ignea KASIVa (D3294). Importantly, expression of the C. avigera KASIVb (D3287) augmented the accumulation of both C8:0 and C10:0 fatty acids, while only C10:0 levels were increased upon expression of D3290, D3291, D3293 and D3294. In some cases the sum of C8:0 and C10:0 fatty acids in the fatty acid profile was at least 30%, or at least 35% (area % by FAME-GC-FID). The midchain production far exceeded the negligible amount found in the wild-type oil (see Table 7a).
The mean C8/C10 ratios of Table 8 ranged from 2.2 to 3.4. The sum of mean C8 and C10 ranged from 25.4 to 39.4.
The highest C8:0 producing strain found was D3287, which combined C. avigera KASIV with C. hookeriana FATB2. The mean was 11.0% C8:0 with a range of 12.4 to 14.8. Thus, a cell oil with a fatty acid profile of greater than 14% C8 was produced. Furthermore, the C10/C8 ratio was less than 2.5.
The newly identified sequences of KASI-like genes were compared to those in the ThYme database of thioester-active enzymes maintained by Iowa State University (enzyme.cbirc.iastate.edu) using the blast algorithm and the top hits were extracted. The top 50 BLAST hits were downloaded and a multiple alignment was created using ClustalW alignment algorithm and a phylogenetic tree (
Two new clades were identified Clade 1 and Clade 2, characterized by consensus SEQ ID NO: 69 and SEQ ID NO:70, which include transit peptides. The clades can also be characterized by the sequences of the mature consensus proteins SEQ ID NO: 71 and SEQ ID NO: 72, respectively. The KAS genes of Clade 1 are associated with production of elevated C8 and C10 fatty acids based on based on transformations in P. moriformis in combination with a FATB acyl-ACP thioesterase as in Example 2. The KAS genes of Clade 2 are associated with production of elevated C10 fatty acids based on transformations in P. moriformis in combination with a FATB acyl-ACP thioesterase as in Example 2.
Although the above discussion discloses various exemplary embodiments of the invention, it should be apparent that those skilled in the art can make various modifications that will achieve some of the advantages of the invention without departing from the true scope of the invention.
