Abstract
The present invention provides a method for producing an alkaline phosphatase (ALP), the method including a step of: culturing an Aspergillus transformant capable of producing the ALP.
Claims12
A method for producing an alkaline phosphatase (ALP), comprising:
- transforming an Aspergillus host with a vector comprising an open reading frame encoding an ALP and an Aspergillus strain-derived N-terminal secretory signal peptide,
- culturing the Aspergillus host in appropriate culture medium and culture conditions to produce the ALP, and
- wherein the amino acid sequence of the ALP comprises 90% or greater homology with either of the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs:
- 31 or 32 and has an amino acid substitution at position 122, 249, 251 and/or 410, and decreased protein glycosylation levels compared to a wild-type ALP, and wherein the Asn at position 122 is a substitution to Gln or Lys, the Asn at position 249 is a substitution to Gln, Asp or His, the Thr at position 251 is a substitution to Cys, and the Asn at position 410 is a substitution to Gln or Lys.

A vector for Aspergillus transformation, comprising:
- (a) an open reading frame encoding an alkaline phosphatase (ALP);
- and
- (b) an Aspergillus strain-derived N-terminal secretory signal peptide,
- wherein the ALP comprises 90% or greater homology with either of the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs:
- 31 or 32 and has an amino acid substitution at position 122, 249, 251 and/or 410, wherein the Asn at position 122 is a substitution to Gln or Lys, the Asn at position 249 is a substitution to Gln, Asp or His, the Thr at position 251 is a substitution to Cys, and the Asn at position 410 is a substitution to Gln or Lys,
- wherein the Aspergillus strain-derived N-terminal secretory signal peptide is 5′ to the open reading frame encoding the ALP and comprises 90% or greater homology with any one of the sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs:
- 2 to 15, and
- wherein the ALP has decreased protein glycosylation levels compared to a wild-type ALP.
