Microorganisms and Methods for Producing Sialylated and N-Acetylglucosamine-Containing Oligosaccharides

[0001] This application claims benefit of, and priority to, U.S. Ser. No. 61/782,999, filed on Mar. 14, 2013; the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0002] The invention provides compositions and methods for producing purified oligosaccharides, in particular certain N-acetylglucosamine-containing and/or sialylated oligosaccharides that are typically found in human milk.

[0003] Human milk contains a diverse and abundant set of neutral and acidic oligosaccharides (human milk oligosaccharides, hMOS). Many of these molecules are not utilized directly by infants for nutrition, but they nevertheless serve critical roles in the establishment of a healthy gut microbiome, in the prevention of disease, and in immune function. Prior to the invention described herein, the ability to produce hMOS inexpensively at large scale was problematic. For example, hMOS production through chemical synthesis was limited by stereo-specificity issues, precursor availability, product impurities, and high overall cost. As such, there is a pressing need for new strategies to inexpensively manufacture large quantities of hMOS for a variety of commercial applications.

[0004] The invention described herein features efficient and economical methods for producing N-acetylglucosamine-containing and/or sialylated oligosaccharides.

[0005] The invention provides a method for producing an N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharide in a bacterium comprising the following steps: providing a bacterium that comprises an exogenous UDP-GlcNAc:Galα/β-R β 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase and a functional lactose permease; and culturing the bacterium in the presence of lactose. The N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharide is then retrieved from the bacterium or from a culture supernatant of the bacterium.

[0006] The invention further provides a method for producing a sialylated oligosaccharide in a bacterium comprising the following steps: providing a bacterium that comprises an exogenous sialyl-transferase gene, a deficient sialic acid catabolic pathway, a sialic acid synthetic capability, and a functional lactose permease gene; and culturing the bacterium in the presence of lactose. The sialylated oligosaccharide is then retrieved from the bacterium or from a culture supernatant of the bacterium. Specifically, a sialic acid synthetic capability comprises expressing exogenous CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase, an exogenous sialic acid synthase, and an exogenous UDP-GlcNAc-2-epimerase, or a functional variant or fragment thereof.

[0007] In both methods for producing N-acetylglucosamine-containing and/or sialylated oligosaccharides, it is preferable that the bacterium further comprises the capability for increased UDP-GlcNAc production. By “increased production capability” is meant that the host bacterium produces greater than 10%, 20%, 50%, 100%, 2-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, or more of a product than the native, endogenous bacterium. Preferably, the bacterium over-expresses a positive endogenous regulator of UDP-GlcNAc synthesis. For example, the bacterium overexpresses the nagC gene of Escherichia coli. Alternatively, the bacterium over-expresses the Escherichia coli glmS (L-glutamine:D-fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase) gene, or alternatively, over-expresses the Escherichia coli glmY gene (a positive translational regulator of glmS), or, alternatively over-expresses the Escherichia coli glmZ gene (another positive translational regulator of glmS: glmY and glmZ are described in Reichenbach et al Nucleic Acids Res 36, 2570-80 (2008)). Alternatively, the bacterium over-expresses any combination of such approaches. For example, the bacterium over-expresses nagC and glmS. Alternatively, the bacterium over-expresses nagC and glmY. Alternatively, the bacterium over-expresses nagC and glmZ. The methods also further encompass over-expressing any functional variant or fragment of nagC, glmS, glmY and glmZ and any combination thereof. By “overexpression” is meant that the gene transcript or encoded gene product is 10%, 20%, 50%, 2-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, or more than the level expressed or produced by the corresponding native, naturally-occurring, or endogenous gene.

[0008] The invention described herein details the manipulation of genes and pathways within bacteria such as the enterobacterium Escherichia coli K12 (E. coli) leading to high level synthesis of hMOS. Other strains of E. coli for suitable for use in the present invention include E. coli MG1655, E. coli W3110, E. coli DHSaE, E. coli B, E. coli C, and E. coli W. A variety of bacterial species are suitable for use in the oligosaccharide biosynthesis methods, for example Erwinia herbicola (Pantoea agglomerans), Citrobacter freundii, Pantoea citrea, Pectobacterium carotovorum, or Xanthomonas campestris. Bacteria of the genus Bacillus are suitable for use, including Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus thermophilus, Bacillus laterosporus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus mycoides, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus lentus, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus circulans. Similarly, bacteria of the genera Lactobacillus and Lactococcus are modified using the methods of this invention, including but not limited to Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus jensenii, and Lactococcus lactis. Streptococcus thermophiles and Proprionibacterium freudenreichii are also suitable bacterial species for the invention described herein. Also included as part of this invention are strains, modified as described here, from the genera Enterococcus (e.g., Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus thermophiles), Bacteroides (e.g., Bacteroides caccae, Bacteroides cellulosilyticus, Bacteroides dorei, Bacteroides eggerthii, Bacteroides finegoldii, Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides nordii, Bacteroides ovatus, Bacteroides salyersiae, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides uniformis, Bacteroides vulgatus and Bacteroides xylanisolvens), Bifidobacterium (e.g., Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Bifidobacterium bifidum), Parabacteroides (e.g. Parabacteroides distasonis, Parabacteroides goldsteinii, Parabacteroides johnsonii and Parabacteroides merdae), Prevotella (e.g., Prevotella copri), Sporolactobacillus spp., Micromomospora spp., Micrococcus spp., Rhodococcus spp., and Pseudomonas (e.g., Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Bacteria comprising the characteristics described herein are cultured in the presence of lactose, and an N-acetylglucosamine-containing or sialylated oligosaccharide is retrieved, either from the bacterium itself or from a culture supernatant of the bacterium. The N-acetylglucosamine-containing or sialylated oligosaccharide is purified for use in therapeutic or nutritional products, or the bacteria are used directly in such products.

[0009] The bacterium comprises a deleted or inactivated (i.e., non-functional) endogenous β-galactosidase gene. For example, the β-galactosidase gene comprises an E. coli lacZ gene (e.g., GenBank Accession Number V00296.1 (GI:41901), incorporated herein by reference). The endogenous lacZ gene of the E. coli is deleted or functionally inactivated, but in such a way that expression of the downstream lactose permease (lacY) gene remains intact, i.e. a functional lactose permease gene is also present in the bacterium. By deleted is meant that a portion or the whole coding sequence is absent, such that no gene product is produced. An “inactivated” gene does not produce a gene product that functions as the native, naturally-occuring, or endogenous gene. For example, the functional activity of an inactivated β-galactosidase gene product is reduced to 10%, 20%, 50%, or 100%, 1-fold, 2-fold, 5-fold, or 10-fold less than the functional activity of the native, naturally-occurring, endogenous gene product.

[0010] The lactose permease gene is an endogenous lactose permease gene or an exogenous lactose permease gene. For example, the lactose permease gene comprises an E. coli lacY gene (e.g., GenBank Accession Number V00295.1 (GI:41897), incorporated herein by reference). Many bacteria possess the inherent ability to transport lactose from the growth medium into the cell, by utilizing a transport protein that is either a homolog of the E. coli lactose permease (e.g., as found in Bacillus licheniformis), or a transporter that is a member of the ubiquitous PTS sugar transport family (e.g., as found in Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus rhamnosus). For bacteria lacking an inherent ability to transport extracellular lactose into the cell cytoplasm, this ability is conferred by an exogenous lactose transporter gene (e.g., E. coli lacY) provided on recombinant DNA constructs, and supplied either on a plasmid expression vector or as exogenous genes integrated into the host chromosome.

[0011] For the production of N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharides, the bacterium comprises an exogenous UDP-GlcNAc:Galα/β-R β 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene or a functional variant or fragment thereof. This exogenous UDP-GlcNAc:Galα/β-R β 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene is obtained from any one of a number of sources, e.g., the LgtA gene described from N. meningitides (SEQ ID NO:16 Genbank protein Accession AAF42258.1, incorporated herein by reference) or N. gonorrhoeae (Genbank protein Accession ACF31229.1). Optionally, an additional exogenous glycosyltransferase gene is co-expressed in the bacterium comprising an exogenous UDP-GlcNAc:Galα/β-R β 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase. For example, a β-1,4-galactosyltransferase gene is co-expressed with the UDP-GlcNAc:Galα/β-R β3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene. This exogenous β-1,4-galactosyltransferase gene is obtained from any one of a number of sources, e.g., that described from N. meningitidis, the LgtB gene (Genbank protein Accession AAF42257.1), or from H. pylori, the Lex2B gene (SEQ ID NO:17 Genbank protein Accession NP_—207619.1, incorporated herein by reference). Optionally, the additional exogenous glycosyltransferase gene co-expressed in the bacterium comprising an exogenous UDP-GlcNAc:Galα/β-R β 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene is a β-1,3-galactosyltransferase gene, e.g., that described from E. coli O55:H7, the WbgO gene (SEQ ID NO:18 Genbank protein Accession YP_—003500090.1, incorporated herein by reference), or from H. pylori, the jhp0563 gene (Genbank protein Accession AEZ55696.1). Functional variants and fragments of any of the enzymes described above are also encompassed by the present invention.

[0012] In one embodiment, the N-acteylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharides produced by the methods described herein include Lacto-N-triose 2 (LNT2), Lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), Lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT), Lacto-N-fucopentaose I (LNF I), Lacto-N-fucopentaose II (LNF II), Lacto-N-fucopentaose III (LNF III), Lacto-N-fucopentaose V (LNF V), Lacto-N-difucohexaose I (LDFH I), Lacto-N-difucohexaose II (LDFH II), and Lacto-N-neodifucohexaose II (LFNnDFH II).

[0013] For the production of sialyl-oligosaccharides, the bacterium comprises an exogenous sialyl-transferase gene. For example, the exogenous sialyl-transferase gene encodes α(2,3) sialyl-transferase or the exogenous sialyl-transferase gene encodes α(2,6) sialyl-transferase or the exogenous sialyl-transferase gene encodes α(2,8) sialyltransferase. The exogenous sialyl-transferase genes is obtained from any one of a number of sources, e.g., those described from N. meningitidis, N. gonorrhoeae, and from a number of organisms of the genus Photobacterium. Examples of α(2,8) sialyltransferases, useful for the production of polysialic acid for example, are found in Campylobacter jejuni (CstII: ADN52706) and Neisseria meningitides (or siaD:AAA20478).

[0014] The bacteria used herein to produce hMOS are genetically engineered to comprise an increased intracellular lactose pool (as compared to wild type) and to comprise UDP-GlcNAc:Galα/β-R β 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase and/or sialyl-transferase activity. Optionally, they also comprise β-1,4-galactosyltransferase or β-1,3-galactosyltransferase activity, and/or α-1,2-, α-1,3- and/or α-1,4-fucosyltransferase activity. In some cases, the bacterium further comprises a functional, wild-type E. coli lacZ⁺ gene inserted into an endogenous gene, for example, the lon gene in E. coli or the thyA gene in E. coli. In this manner, the bacterium further comprises a mutation in a lon gene or a mutation in the thyA gene. In these cases, the endogenous lacZ gene of the E. coli is deleted or functionally inactivated, but in such a way that expression of the downstream lactose permease (lacY) gene remains intact. The organism so manipulated maintains the ability to transport lactose from the growth medium, and to develop an intracellular lactose pool for use as an acceptor sugar in oligosaccharide synthesis, while also maintaining a low level of intracellular beta-galactosidase activity useful for a variety of additional purposes. For example, the invention also includes: a) methods for phenotypic marking of a gene locus in a β-galactosidase negative host cell by utilizing a β-galactosidase (e.g., lacZ) gene insert engineered to produce a low but readily detectable level of β-galactosidase activity, b) methods for readily detecting lytic bacteriophage contamination in fermentation runs through release and detection of cytoplasmic β-galactosidase in the cell culture medium, and c) methods for depleting a bacterial culture of residual lactose at the end of production runs. a), b) and c) are each achieved by utilizing a functional β-galactosidase (e.g., lacZ) gene insert carefully engineered to direct the expression of a low, but detectable level of β-galactosidase activity in an otherwise β-galactosidase negative host cell. The bacterium optionally further comprises a mutation in a lacA gene. Preferably, the bacterium accumulates an increased intracellular lactose pool, and produces a low level of beta-galactosidase. An increased intracellular pool is wherein the concentration of lactose in the host bacterium at least 10%, 20%, 50%, 2-fold, 5-fold, or 10-fold higher than that of the native, naturally-occurring bacterium.

[0015] In one aspect, the human milk oligosaccharide produced by engineered bacteria comprising an exogenous nucleic acid molecule encoding an UDP-GlcNAc:Galα/β-R β 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase and an exogenous nucleic acid encoding β-1,4-galactosyltransferase is lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT). In another aspect, the human milk oligosaccharide produced by engineered bacteria comprising an exogenous nucleic acid molecule encoding a UDP-GlcNAc:Galα/β-R β 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase and an exogenous nucleic acid encoding β-1,3-galactosyltransferase is lacto-N-tetraose (LNT).

[0016] Described herein are compositions comprising a bacterial cell that produces the human milk oligosaccharide LNnT (lacto-N-neotetraose), wherein the bacterial cell comprises an exogenous UDP-GlcNAc:Galα/β-R β 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase and an exogenous nucleic acid encoding a β-1,4-galactosyltransferase. Preferably, the bacterial cell is E. coli. The exogenous UDP-GlcNAc:Galα/β-R β 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene is obtained from any one of a number of sources, e.g., the LgtA gene described from N. meningitides. The exogenous β-1,4-galactosyltransferase gene is obtained from any one of a number of sources, e.g., that described from N. meningitidis, the LgtB gene, or from H. pylori, the jhp0765 gene.

[0017] Additionally, the bacterium preferably comprises increased production of UDP-GlcNAc. An exemplary means to achieve this is by over-expression of a positive endogenous regulator of UDP-GlcNAc synthesis, for example, overexpression of the nagC gene of Escherichia coli. In one aspect, this nagC over-expression is achieved by providing additional copies of the nagC gene on a plasmid vector or by integrating additional nagC gene copies into the host cell chromosome. Alternatively, over-expression is achieved by modulating the strength of the ribosome binding sequence directing nagC translation or by modulating the strength of the promoter directing nagC transcription. As further alternatives the intracellular UDP-GlcNAc pool may be enhanced by other means, for example by over-expressing the Escherichia coli glmS (L-glutamine:D-fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase) gene, or alternatively by over-expressing the Escherichia coli glmY gene (a positive translational regulator of glmS), or alternatively by over-expressing the Escherichia coli glmZ gene (another positive translational regulator of glmS), or alternatively by simultaneously using a combination of approaches. In one preferred embodiment, for example, the nagC (SEQ ID NO:19 Genbank protein Accession BAA35319.1, incorporated herein by reference) and glmS (SEQ ID NO:20 Genbank protein Accession NP_—418185.1, incorporated herein by reference) genes which encode the sequences provided herein are overexpressed simultaneously in the same host cell in order to increase the intracellular pool of UDP-GlcNAc. Other components of UDP-GlcNAc metabolism include: (GlcNAc-1-P) N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate; (GlcN-1-P) glucosamine-1-phosphate; (GlcN-6-P) glucosamine-6-phosphate; (GlcNAc-6-P) N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate; and (Fruc-6-P) Fructose-6-phosphate. Bacteria comprising the characteristics described herein are cultured in the presence of lactose, and lacto-N-neotetraose is retrieved, either from the bacterium itself (i.e., by lysis) or from a culture supernatant of the bacterium.

[0018] Also within the invention is an isolated E. coli bacterium as described above and characterized as comprising a deleted or inactivated endogenous β-galactosidase gene, an inactivated or deleted lacA gene, and a functional lactose permease (lacY) gene.

[0019] Also described herein are compositions comprising a bacterial cell that produces the human milk oligosaccharide 6′-SL (6′-sialyllactose), wherein the bacterial cell comprises an exogenous sialyl-transferase gene encoding α(2,6)sialyl-transferase. Preferably, the bacterial cell is E. coli. The exogenous sialyl-transferase gene utilized for 6′-SL production is obtained from any one of a number of sources, e.g., those described from a number of organisms of the genus Photobacterium. In yet another aspect, the human milk oligosaccharide produced by engineered bacteria comprising an exogenous nucleic acid molecule encoding an α(2,3) sialyltransferase is 3′-SL (3′-sialyllactose). The exogenous sialyltransferase gene utilized for 3′-SL production is obtained from any one of a number of sources, e.g., those described from N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae.

[0020] Additionally, the bacterium contains a deficient sialic acid catabolic pathway. By “sialic acid catabolic pathway” is meant a sequence of reactions, usually controlled and catalyzed by enzymes, which results in the degradation of sialic acid. An exemplary sialic acid catabolic pathway in Escherichia coli is described herein. In the sialic acid catabolic pathway described herein, sialic acid (Neu5Ac; N-acetylneuraminic acid) is degraded by the enzymes NanA (N-acetylneuraminic acid lyase) and NanK (N-acetylmannosamine kinase) and NanE (N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate epimerase), all encoded in the nanATEK-yhcH operon, and repressed by NanR (http://ecocyc.org/ECOLI). A deficient sialic acid catabolic pathway is engineered in Escherichia coli by way of a mutation in endogenous nanA (N-acetylneuraminate lyase) (e.g., GenBank Accession Number D00067.1 (GI:216588), incorporated herein by reference) and/or nanK (N-acetylmannosamine kinase) genes (e.g., GenBank Accession Number (amino acid) BAE77265.1 (GI:85676015), incorporated herein by reference), and/or nanE (N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate epimerase, GI: 947745, incorporated herein by reference). Optionally, the nanT (N-acetylneuraminate transporter) gene is also inactivated or mutated. Other intermediates of sialic acid metabolism include: (ManNAc-6-P) N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate; (GlcNAc-6-P) N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate; (GlcN-6-P) Glucosamine-6-phosphate; and (Fruc-6-P) Fructose-6-phosphate. In some preferred embodiments, nanA is mutated. In other preferred embodiments, nanA and nanK are mutated, while nanE remains functional. In another preferred embodiment, nanA and nanE are mutated, while nanK has not been mutated, inactivated or deleted. A mutation is one or more changes in the nucleic acid sequence coding the gene product of nanA, nanK, nanE, and/or nanT. For example, the mutation may be 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 changes in the nucleic acid sequence. For example, the nanA, nanK, nanE, and/or nanT is mutated by a null mutation. Null mutations as described herein encompass amino acid substitutions, additions, deletions, or insertions that either cause a loss of function of the enzyme (i.e., reduced or no activity) or loss of the enzyme (i.e., no gene product). By deleted is meant that the coding region is removed in whole or in part such that no gene product is produced. By inactivated is meant that the coding sequence has been altered such that the resulting gene product is functionally inactive or encodes a gene product with less than 100%, 80%, 50%, or 20% of the activity of the native, naturally-occurring, endogenous gene product. A “not mutated” gene or protein does not differ from a native, naturally-occurring, or endogenous coding sequence by 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 or 500 more codons, or to the corresponding encoded amino acid sequence.

[0021] Moreover, the bacterium (e.g., E. coli) also comprises a sialic acid synthetic capability. For example, the bacterium comprises a sialic acid synthetic capability through provision of an exogenous UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase (e.g., neuC of Campylobacter jejuni (SEQ ID NO: 13, GenBank AAK91727.1; GI:15193223, incorporated herein by reference) or equivalent (e.g. E. coli S88 neuC GenBank YP_—002392936.1; GI: 218560023), a Neu5Ac synthase (e.g., neuB of C. jejuni (SEQ ID NO:14 AAK91726.1GenBank GI:15193222, incorporated herein by reference) or equivalent, (e.g. Flavobacterium limnosediminis sialic acid synthase, GenBank GI:559220424), and/or a CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase (e.g., neuA of C. jejuni (SEQ ID NO: 15 GenBank AAK91728.1; GI:15193224, incorporated herein by reference) or equivalent, (e.g. Vibrio brasiliensis CMP-sialic acid synthase, GenBank GI: 493937153). Functional variants and fragments are also disclosed herein.

[0022] Additionally, the bacterium comprising a sialic acid synthetic capability preferably increased production of UDP-GlcNAc. An exemplary means to achieve this is by over-expression of a positive endogenous regulator of UDP-GlcNAc synthesis, for example, simultaneous overexpression of the nagC and glmS genes of Escherichia coli. This nagC and glmS over-expression is achieved by providing additional copies of the nagC and glmS genes on a plasmid vector, or by integrating additional nagC and glmS gene copies into the host cell chromosome. Alternatively, over-expression is achieved by modulating the strength of the ribosome binding sequence directing nagC (described by Sleight et al, Nucleic Acids Res. May 2010; 38(8): 2624-2636) and/or glmS translation, or by modulating the strength of the promoter/s directing nagC and glmS transcription (Sleight et al, Nucleic Acids Res. May 2010; 38(8): 2624-2636)

[0023] Bacteria comprising the characteristics described herein are cultured in the presence of lactose, and, in the instance where cells comprise an α(2,6) sialyltransferase (e.g. Photobacterium spp JT-ISH-224 (SEQ ID NO:21 Genbank protein Accession BAF92026.1, incorporated herein by reference), 6′-sialyllactose is retrieved, either from the bacterium itself or from a culture supernatant of the bacterium. In the instance where cells comprise an α(2,3) sialyltransferase, (e.g. Neisseria meningitidis 1st (Genbank protein Accession NP273962.1) 3′-sialyllactose is recovered either from the bacterium itself (e.g., by lysis of the bacterium) or from a culture supernatant of the bacterium.

[0024] Also within the invention is an isolated E. coli bacterium as described above and characterized as comprising a deleted or inactivated endogenous β-galactosidase gene, an exogenous sialyl-transferase gene, a deficient sialic acid catabolic pathway, a sialic acid synthetic capability, a deleted lacA gene, and a functional lactose permease (lacY) gene.

[0025] A purified N-acetylglucosamine-containing or sialylated oligosaccharide produced by the methods described above is also within the invention. A purified oligosaccharide, e.g., 6′-SL, is one that is at least 90%, 95%, 98%, 99%, or 100% (w/w) of the desired oligosaccharide by weight. Purity is assessed by any known method, e.g., thin layer chromatography or other electrophoretic or chromatographic techniques known in the art. The invention includes a method of purifying an N-acetylglucosamine-containing or sialylated oligosaccharide produced by the genetically engineered bacteria described above, which method comprises separating the desired N-acetylglucosamine-containing or sialylated oligosaccharide (e.g., 6′-SL) from contaminants in a bacterial cell extract or lysate, or bacterial cell culture supernatant. Contaminants include bacterial DNA, protein and cell wall components, and yellow/brown sugar caramels sometimes formed in spontaneous chemical reactions in the culture medium.

[0026] The oligosaccharides are purified and used in a number of products for consumption by humans as well as animals, such as companion animals (dogs, cats) as well as livestock (bovine, equine, ovine, caprine, or porcine animals, as well as poultry). For example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising purified 6′-sialyllactose (6′-SL) and an excipient is suitable for oral administration. Large quantities of 6′-SL are produced in bacterial hosts, e.g., an E. coli bacterium comprising a heterologous sialyltransferase, e.g., a heterologous α(2,6)sialyltransferase. An E. coli bacterium comprising an enhanced cytoplasmic pool of each of the following: lactose and CMP-Neu5Ac, is useful in such production systems. In the case of lactose, endogenous E. coli metabolic pathways and genes are manipulated in ways that result in the generation of increased cytoplasmic concentrations of lactose, as compared to levels found in wild type E. coli. For example, the bacteria contain at least 10%, 20%, 50%, 2×, 5×, 10× or more of the levels in a corresponding wild type bacteria that lacks the genetic modifications described above. In the case of CMP-Neu5Ac, endogenous Neu5Ac catabolism genes are inactivated and exogenous CMP-Neu5Ac biosynthesis genes introduced into E. coli resulting in the generation of a cytoplasmic pool of CMP-Neu5Ac not found in the wild type bacterium.

[0027] A method of producing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a purified hMOS is carried out by culturing the bacterium described above, purifying the hMOS produced by the bacterium, and combining the hMOS with an excipient or carrier to yield a dietary supplement for oral administration. These compositions are useful in methods of preventing or treating enteric and/or respiratory diseases in infants and adults. Accordingly, the compositions are administered to a subject suffering from or at risk of developing such a disease using known methods of clinical therapy.

[0028] The invention also provides for increasing, in E. coli, the intracellular concentration of the nucleotide sugar uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc). This is achieved by over-expressing the bi-functional endogenous positive regulator of UDP-GlcNac synthesis and repressor of glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine catabolism, nagC, simultaneously with the gene encoding L-glutamine:D-fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase, glmS.

[0029] The invention also provides for increasing the intracellular concentration of lactose in E. coli, for cells grown in the presence of lactose, by using manipulations of endogenous E. coli genes involved in lactose import, export, and catabolism. In particular, described herein are methods of increasing intracellular lactose levels in E. coli genetically engineered to produce a human milk oligosaccharide by incorporating a lacA mutation into the genetically modified E. coli. The lacA mutation prevents the formation of intracellular acetyl-lactose, which not only removes this molecule as a contaminant from subsequent purifications, but also eliminates E. coli's ability to export excess lactose from its cytoplasm, thus greatly facilitating purposeful manipulations of the E. coli intracellular lactose pool.

[0030] Also described herein are bacterial host cells with the ability to accumulate a intracellular lactose pool while simultaneously possessing low, functional levels of cytoplasmic β-galactosidase activity, for example as provided by the introduction of a functional recombinant E. coli lacZ gene, or by a β-galactosidase gene from any of a number of other organisms (e.g., the lac4 gene of Kluyveromyces lactis (e.g., GenBank Accession Number M84410.1 (GI:173304), incorporated herein by reference). Low, functional levels of cytoplasmic β-galactosidase include β-galactosidase activity levels of between 0.05 and 200 units, e.g., between 0.05 and 5 units, between 0.05 and 4 units, between 0.05 and 3 units, or between 0.05 and 2 units (for standard definition see: Miller J H, Laboratory CSH. Experiments in molecular genetics. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.; 1972; incorporated herein by reference). This low level of cytoplasmic β-galactosidase activity, while not high enough to significantly diminish the intracellular lactose pool, is nevertheless very useful for tasks such as phenotypic marking of desirable genetic loci during construction of host cell backgrounds, for detection of cell lysis due to undesired bacteriophage contaminations in fermentation processes, for the facile removal of undesired residual lactose at the end of fermentations, or for in-process fermentation QC purposes (i.e. as a non-standard phenotype the provision of a weak lacZ phenotype aids in culture purity assessments).

[0031] Methods of purifying a N-acetylglucosamine-containing or sialylated oligosaccharide produced by the methods described herein are carried out by binding the oligosaccharide from a bacterial cell lysate or bacterial cell culture supernatant of the bacterium to a carbon column, and subsequently eluting it from the column. Purified N-acetylglucosamine-containing or sialylated oligosaccharides are produced by the methods described herein.

[0032] Optionally, the invention features a vector, e.g., a vector containing a nucleic acid. The vector can further include one or more regulatory elements, e.g., a heterologous promoter. The regulatory elements can be operably linked to a protein gene, fusion protein gene, or a series of genes linked in an operon in order to express the fusion protein. To maintain the plasmid vector stably within the cell a selectable marker is included within its sequence, such as an antibiotic resistance gene or a gene that complements a nutritional auxotrophy of the host bacterium. For example, in E. coli, a thymidine deficiency caused by a chromosomal defect in the thymidylate synthase gene (thyA) can be complemented by a plasmid borne wild type copy of the thyA (M. Belfort, G. F. Maley, F. Maley, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 80, 1858 (1983)) gene. Alternatively an adenine deficiency caused by a chromosomal deficiency in the adenylosuccinate synthetase (purA) gene (S. A. Wolfe, J. M. Smith, J Biol Chem 263, 19147-53 (1988)) can be complemented by a plasmid borne wild type copy of purA. Two plasmid vectors may be utilized simultaneously within the same bacterial cell by employing separate selectable markers, for example one plasmid utilizing thyA selection and one utilizing purA selection, and by utilizing two compatible plasmid replicons, for example in E. coli two such compatible replicons comprise the ColE1 (pUC) replicon and the p15A (pACYC) replicon (R. E. Bird, J Bacteriol 145, 1305-9 (1981)). In yet another aspect, the invention comprises an isolated recombinant cell, e.g., a bacterial cell containing aforementioned nucleic acid molecule/s or vector/s. The nucleic acid sequences can be optionally integrated into the genome.

[0033] The invention provides a method of treating, preventing, or reducing the risk of infection in a subject comprising administering to said subject a composition comprising a human milk oligosaccharide, purified from a culture of a recombinant strain of the current invention, wherein the hMOS binds to a pathogen and wherein the subject is infected with or at risk of infection with the pathogen. In one aspect, the infection is caused by a Norwalk-like virus or Campylobacter jejuni. The subject is preferably a mammal in need of such treatment. The mammal is, e.g., any mammal, e.g., a human, a primate, a mouse, a rat, a dog, a cat, a cow, a horse, or a pig. In a preferred embodiment, the mammal is a human. For example, the compositions are formulated into animal feed (e.g., pellets, kibble, mash) or animal food supplements for companion animals, e.g., dogs or cats, as well as livestock or animals grown for food consumption, e.g., cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, and goats. Preferably, the purified hMOS is formulated into a powder (e.g., infant formula powder or adult nutritional supplement powder, each of which is mixed with a liquid such as water or juice prior to consumption) or in the form of tablets, capsules or pastes or is incorporated as a component in dairy products such as milk, cream, cheese, yogurt or kefir, or as a component in any beverage, or combined in a preparation containing live microbial cultures intended to serve as probiotics, or in prebiotic preparations intended to enhance the growth of beneficial microorganisms either in vitro or in vivo. For example, the purified sugar (e.g., LNnT or 6′-SL) can be mixed with a Bifidobacterium or Lactobacillus in a probiotic nutritional composition. (i.e. Bifidobacteria are beneficial components of a normal human gut flora and are also known to utilize hMOS for growth.

[0034] All genes described herein also include a description of the corresponding encoded gene products. As such, the uses of exogenous genes as described herein encompass nucleic acids that encode the gene product sequences disclosed herein. The person skilled in the art could readily generate nucleic acid sequences that encode the protein sequences described herein and introduce such sequences into expression vectors to carry out the present invention.

[0035] The term “substantially pure” in reference to a given polypeptide, polynucleotide or oligosaccharide means that the polypeptide, polynucleotide or oligosaccharide is substantially free from other biological macromolecules. The substantially pure polypeptide, polynucleotide or oligosaccharide is at least 75% (e.g., at least 80, 85, 95, or 99%) pure by dry weight. Purity can be measured by any appropriate calibrated standard method, for example, by column chromatography, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, thin layer chromatography (TLC) or HPLC analysis.

[0036] Polynucleotides, polypeptides, and oligosaccharides of the invention are purified and/or isolated. Purified defines a degree of sterility that is safe for administration to a human subject, e.g., lacking infectious or toxic agents. Specifically, as used herein, an “isolated” or “purified” nucleic acid molecule, polynucleotide, polypeptide, protein or oligosaccharide, is substantially free of other cellular material, or culture medium when produced by recombinant techniques, or chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. For example, purified hMOS compositions are at least 60% by weight (dry weight) the compound of interest. Preferably, the preparation is at least 75%, more preferably at least 90%, and most preferably at least 99%, by weight the compound of interest. Purity is measured by any appropriate calibrated standard method, for example, by column chromatography, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, thin layer chromatography (TLC) or HPLC analysis. For example, a “purified protein” refers to a protein that has been separated from other proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids with which it is naturally associated. Preferably, the protein constitutes at least 10, 20, 50 70, 80, 90, 95, 99-100% by dry weight of the purified preparation.

[0037] By “isolated nucleic acid” is meant a nucleic acid that is free of the genes that flank it in the naturally-occurring genome of the organism from which the nucleic acid is derived. The term covers, for example: (a) a DNA which is part of a naturally occurring genomic DNA molecule, but is not flanked by both of the nucleic acid sequences that flank that part of the molecule in the genome of the organism in which it naturally occurs; (b) a nucleic acid incorporated into a vector or into the genomic DNA of a prokaryote or eukaryote in a manner, such that the resulting molecule is not identical to any naturally occurring vector or genomic DNA; (c) a separate molecule such as a cDNA, a genomic fragment, a fragment produced by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or a restriction fragment; and (d) a recombinant nucleotide sequence that is part of a hybrid gene, i.e., a gene encoding a fusion protein. Isolated nucleic acid molecules according to the present invention further include molecules produced synthetically, as well as any nucleic acids that have been altered chemically and/or that have modified backbones. For example, the isolated nucleic acid is a purified cDNA or RNA polynucleotide.

[0038] A “heterologous promoter”, when operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence, refers to a promoter which is not naturally associated with the nucleic acid sequence.

[0039] The term “over-express” as used herein refers to gene transcript or encoded gene product is 10%, 20%, 50%, 2-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, or more than the level expressed or produced by a native, naturally-occurring, or endogenous gene in a bacterium in which it naturally occurs. For example, the host bacterium described herein are engineered to over-express an exogenous gene transcript or encoded gene product of UDP-GlcNAc:Galcc/β-R β3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, nagC, glmS, glmY, glmZ, a sialyl-transferase, a β-galactosyltransferase, an α-fucosyltransferase, CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase, a sialic acid synthase, or a UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase, i.e., a gene or gene product with a sequence corresponding to that of a bacterium other than the host bacterium.

[0040] The terms “treating” and “treatment” as used herein refer to the administration of an agent or formulation to a clinically symptomatic individual afflicted with an adverse condition, disorder, or disease, so as to effect a reduction in severity and/or frequency of symptoms, eliminate the symptoms and/or their underlying cause, and/or facilitate improvement or remediation of damage. The terms “preventing” and “prevention” refer to the administration of an agent or composition to a clinically asymptomatic individual who is susceptible to a particular adverse condition, disorder, or disease, and thus relates to the prevention of the occurrence of symptoms and/or their underlying cause.

[0041] By the terms “effective amount” and “therapeutically effective amount” of a formulation or formulation component is meant a nontoxic but sufficient amount of the formulation or component to provide the desired effect.

[0042] The transitional term “comprising,” which is synonymous with “including,” “containing,” or “characterized by,” is inclusive or open-ended and does not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps. By contrast, the transitional phrase “consisting of” excludes any element, step, or ingredient not specified in the claim. The transitional phrase “consisting essentially of” limits the scope of a claim to the specified materials or steps “and those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s)” of the claimed invention.

[0043] Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments thereof, and from the claims. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, suitable methods and materials are described below. All published foreign patents and patent applications cited herein are incorporated herein by reference. Genbank and NCBI submissions indicated by accession number cited herein are incorporated herein by reference. All other published references, documents, manuscripts and scientific literature cited herein are incorporated herein by reference. In the case of conflict, the present specification, including definitions, will control. In addition, the materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting.

[0063] Described herein are genetic constructs and methods for production of N-acetylglucosamine-containing human milk oligosaccharides (hMOS) and sialyloligosaccharides. In order to make both N-acetylglucosamine-containing and sialyl-containing hMOS, one needs to tap into the cellular UDP-GlcNAc pool. Doing so can be challenging, since UDP-GlcNAc is an essential metabolite for bacteria (used to make the cell wall). The constructs, compositions, and methods of the invention overcome difficulties of the past by enhancing the UDP-GlcNAc pool, a strategy that represents an advantage in the production of both classes of hMOS. Other distinctions over earlier approaches represent improvements and/or confer advantages over those earlier strategies.

hMOS

[0064] Human milk glycans, which comprise both oligosaccharides (hMOS) and their glycoconjugates, play significant roles in the protection and development of human infants, and in particular the infant gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Milk oligosaccharides found in various mammals differ greatly, and their composition in humans is unique (Hamosh M., 2001 Pediatr Clin North Am, 48:69-86; Newburg D. S., 2001 Adv Exp Med Biol, 501:3-10). Moreover, glycan levels in human milk change throughout lactation and also vary widely among individuals (Morrow A. L. et al., 2004 J Pediatr, 145:297-303; Chaturvedi P et al., 2001 Glycobiology, 11:365-372). Previously, a full exploration of the roles of hMOS was limited by the inability to adequately characterize and measure these compounds. In recent years sensitive and reproducible quantitative methods for the analysis of both neutral and acidic hMOS have been developed (Erney, R., Hilty, M., Pickering, L., Ruiz-Palacios, G., and Prieto, P. (2001) Adv Exp Med Biol 501, 285-297. Bao, Y., and Newburg, D. S. (2008) Electrophoresis 29, 2508-2515). Approximately 200 distinct oligosaccharides have been identified in human milk, and combinations of a small number of simple epitopes are responsible for this diversity (Newburg D. S., 1999 Curr_Med Chem, 6:117-127; Ninonuevo M. et al., 2006 J Agric Food Chem, 54:7471-74801). hMOS are composed of 5 monosaccharides: D-glucose (Glc), D-galactose (Gal), N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), L-fucose (Fuc), and sialic acid (N-acetyl neuraminic acid, Neu5Ac, NANA). hMOS are usually divided into two groups according to their chemical structures: neutral compounds containing Glc, Gal, GlcNAc, and Fuc, linked to a lactose (Galβ1-4Glc) core, and acidic compounds including the same sugars, and often the same core structures, plus NANA (Charlwood J. et al., 1999 Anal_Biochem, 273:261-277; Martin-Sosa et al., 2003 J Dairy Sci, 86:52-59; Parkkinen J. and Finne J., 1987 Methods Enzymol, 138:289-300; Shen Z. et al., 2001 J Chromatogr A, 921:315-321). Approximately 70-80% of oligosaccharides in human milk are fucosylated. A smaller proportion of the oligosaccharides in human milk are sialylated, or are both fucosylated and sialylated.

[0065] Interestingly, hMOS as a class, survive transit through the intestine of infants very efficiently, a function of their being poorly transported across the gut wall and of their resistance to digestion by human gut enzymes (Chaturvedi, P., Warren, C. D., Buescher, C. R., Pickering, L. K. & Newburg, D. S. Adv Exp Med Biol 501, 315-323 (2001)). One consequence of this survival in the gut is that hMOS are able to function as prebiotics, i.e. they are available to serve as an abundant carbon source for the growth of resident gut commensal microorganisms (Ward, R. E., Niñonuevo, M., Mills, D. A., Lebrilla, C. B., and German, J. B. (2007) Mol Nutr Food Res 51, 1398-1405). Recently, there is burgeoning interest in the role of diet and dietary prebiotic agents in determining the composition of the gut microflora, and in understanding the linkage between the gut microflora and human health (Roberfroid, M., Gibson, G. R., Hoyles, L., McCartney, A. L., Rastall, R., Rowland, I., Wolvers, D., Watzl, B., Szajewska, H., Stahl, B., Guarner, F., Respondek, F., Whelan, K., Coxam, V., Davicco, M. J., Léotoing, L., Wittrant, Y., Delzenne, N. M., Cani, P. D., Neyrinck, A. M., and Meheust, A. (2010) Br J Nutr 104 Suppl 2, S1-63).

[0066] A number of human milk glycans possess structural homology to cell receptors for enteropathogens, and serve roles in pathogen defense by acting as molecular receptor “decoys”. For example, pathogenic strains of Campylobacter bind specifically to glycans in human milk containing the H-2 epitope, i.e., 2′-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine or 2′-fucosyllactose (2′-FL); Campylobacter binding and infectivity are inhibited by 2′-FL and other glycans containing this H-2 epitope (Ruiz-Palacios, G. M., Cervantes, L. E., Ramos, P., Chavez-Munguia, B., and Newburg, D. S. (2003) J Biol Chem 278, 14112-14120). Similarly, some diarrheagenic E. coli pathogens are strongly inhibited in vivo by hMOS containing 2′-linked fucose moieties. Several major strains of human caliciviruses, especially the noroviruses, also bind to 2′-linked fucosylated glycans, and this binding is inhibited by human milk 2′-linked fucosylated glycans. Consumption of human milk that has high levels of these 2′-linked fucosyloligosaccharides has been associated with lower risk of norovirus, Campylobacter, ST of E. coli-associated diarrhea, and moderate-to-severe diarrhea of all causes in a Mexican cohort of breastfeeding children (Newburg D. S. et al., 2004 Glycobiology, 14:253-263; Newburg D. S. et al., 1998 Lancet, 351:1160-1164). Several pathogens are also known to utilize sialylated glycans as their host receptors, such as influenza (Couceiro, J. N., Paulson, J. C. & Baum, L. G. Virus Res 29, 155-165 (1993)), parainfluenza (Amonsen, M., Smith, D. F., Cummings, R. D. & Air, G. M. J Virol 81, 8341-8345 (2007), and rotoviruses (Kuhlenschmidt, T. B., Hanafin, W. P., Gelberg, H. B. & Kuhlenschmidt, M. S. Adv Exp Med Biol 473, 309-317 (1999)). The sialyl-Lewis X epitope is used by Helicobacter pylori (Mandavi, J., Sondén, B., Hurtig, M., Olfat, F. O., et al. Science 297, 573-578 (2002)), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Scharfman, A., Delmotte, P., Beau, J., Lamblin, G., et al. Glycoconj J 17, 735-740 (2000)), and some strains of noroviruses (Rydell, G. E., Nilsson, J., Rodriguez-Diaz, J., Ruvoën-Clouet, N., et al. Glycobiology 19, 309-320 (2009)).

[0067] The nucleotide sugar uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) is a key metabolic intermediate in bacteria, where it is involved in the synthesis and maintenance of the cell envelope. In all known bacterial classes, UDP-GlcNAc is used to make peptidoglycan (murein); a polymer comprising the bacterial cell wall whose structural integrity is absolutely essential for growth and survival. In addition, gram-negative bacteria use UDP-GlcNAc for the synthesis of lipid A, an important component of the outer cell membrane. Thus, for bacteria, the ability to maintain an adequate intracellular pool of UDP-GlcNAc is critical.

[0068] Biosynthesis of certain human milk oligosaccharides (hMOS) has been achieved in engineered strains of the bacterium, Escherichia coli K12. As described herein, simple fucosylated hMOS, e.g. 2′-fucosyllactose (2′-FL), 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL), and lactodifucotetraose (LDFT), are produced efficiently by live E. coli through artificially enhancing existing intracellular pools of GDP-fucose (the nucleotide sugar donor) and lactose (the accepting sugar), and by then using these enhanced pools as substrates for heterologous recombinant fucosyltransferases (FIG. 1). Since neither the lactose nor GDP-fucose pools are essential for E. coli survival, biosynthesis of simple fucosylated hMOS is achieved at good yields without negative consequences on the host bacterium's growth or viability. However, to synthesize more complex hMOS in E. coli, use of the critical bacterial UDP-GlcNAc pool is required, with consequent potential impacts on cell viability.

[0069] The UDP-GlcNAc pool in E. coli is produced through the combined action of three glm genes, glmS (L-glutamine:D-fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase), glmM (phosphoglucosamine mutase), and the bifunctional glmU (fused N-acetyl glucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase and glucosamine-1-phosphate acetyl transferase) (FIG. 2). These three genes direct a steady flow of carbon to UDP-GlcNAc, a flow that originates with fructose-6-phosphate (an abundant molecule of central energy metabolism). Expression of the glm genes is under positive control by the transcriptional activator protein, NagC.

[0070] When E. coli encounters glucosamine or N-acetyl-glucosamine in its environment, these molecules are each transported into the cell via specific membrane transport proteins and are used either to supplement the flow of carbon to the UDP-GlcNAc pool, or alternatively they are consumed to generate energy, under the action of nag operon gene products (i.e. nagA [N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase] and nagB [glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase]). In contrast to the glm genes, expression of nagA and nagB are under negative transcriptional control, but by the same regulatory protein as the glm genes, i.e. NagC. NagC is thus bi-functional, able to activate UDP-GlcNAc synthesis, while at the same time repressing the degradation of glucosamine-6-phosphate and N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate.

[0071] The binding of NagC to specific regulatory DNA sequences (operators), whether such binding results in gene activation or repression, is sensitive to fluctuations in the cytoplasmic level of the small-molecule inducer and metabolite, GlcNAc-6-phosphate. Intracellular concentrations of GlcNAc-6-phosphate increase when N-acetylglucosamine is available as a carbon source in the environment, and thus under these conditions the expression of the glm genes (essential to maintain the vital UDP-GlcNAc pool) would decrease, unless a compensatory mechanism is brought into play. E. coli maintains a baseline level of UDP-GlcNAc synthesis through continuous expression of nagC directed by two constitutive promoters, located within the upstream nagA gene. This constitutive level of nagC expression is supplemented approximately threefold under conditions where the degradative nag operon is induced, and by this means E. coli ensures an adequate level of glm gene expression under all conditions, even when N-acetylglucosamine is being utilized as a carbon source.

[0072] Many hMOS incorporate GlcNAc into their structures directly, and many also incorporate sialic acid, a sugar whose synthesis involves consumption of UDP-GlcNAc (FIG. 3, FIG. 13). Thus, synthesis of many types of hMOS in engineered E. coli carries the significant risk of reduced product yield and compromised cell viability resulting from depletion of the bacterium's UDP-GlcNAc pool. One way to address this problem during engineered synthesis of GlcNAc- or sialic acid-containing hMOS is to boost the UDP-GlcNAc pool through simultaneous over-expression of nagC, or preferably by simultaneous over-expression of both nagC and glmS.

[0073] While studies suggest that human milk glycans could be used as prebiotics and as antimicrobial anti-adhesion agents, the difficulty and expense of producing adequate quantities of these agents of a quality suitable for human consumption has limited their full-scale testing and perceived utility. What has been needed is a suitable method for producing the appropriate glycans in sufficient quantities at reasonable cost. Prior to the invention described herein, there were attempts to use several distinct synthetic approaches for glycan synthesis. Novel chemical approaches can synthesize oligosaccharides (Flowers, H. M. Methods Enzymol 50, 93-121 (1978); Seeberger, P. H. Chem Commun (Camb) 1115-1121 (2003)), but reactants for these methods are expensive and potentially toxic (Koeller, K. M. & Wong, C. H. Chem Rev 100, 4465-4494 (2000)). Enzymes expressed from engineered organisms (Albermann, C., Piepersberg, W. & Wehmeier, U. F. Carbohydr Res 334, 97-103 (2001); Bettler, E., Samain, E., Chazalet, V., Bosso, C., et al. Glycoconj J 16, 205-212 (1999); Johnson, K. F. Glycoconj J 16, 141-146 (1999); Palcic, M. M. Curr Opin Biotechnol 10, 616-624 (1999); Wymer, N. & Toone, E. J. Curr Opin Chem Biol 4, 110-119 (2000)) provide a precise and efficient synthesis (Palcic, M. M. Curr Opin Biotechnol 10, 616-624 (1999)); Crout, D. H. & Vic, G. Curr Opin Chem Biol 2, 98-111 (1998)), but the high cost of the reactants, especially the sugar nucleotides, limits their utility for low-cost, large-scale production. Microbes have been genetically engineered to express the glycosyltransferases needed to synthesize oligosaccharides from the bacteria's innate pool of nucleotide sugars (Endo, T., Koizumi, S., Tabata, K., Kakita, S. & Ozaki, A. Carbohydr Res 330, 439-443 (2001); Endo, T., Koizumi, S., Tabata, K. & Ozaki, A. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 53, 257-261 (2000); Endo, T. & Koizumi, S. Curr Opin Struct Biol 10, 536-541 (2000); Endo, T., Koizumi, S., Tabata, K., Kakita, S. & Ozaki, A. Carbohydr Res 316, 179-183 (1999); Koizumi, S., Endo, T., Tabata, K. & Ozaki, A. Nat Biotechnol 16, 847-850 (1998)). However, low overall product yields and high process complexity have limited the commercial utility of these approaches.

[0074] Prior to the invention described herein, which enables the inexpensive production of large quantities of neutral and acidic hMOS, it had not been possible to fully investigate the ability of this class of molecule to inhibit pathogen binding, or indeed to explore their full range of potential additional functions.

[0075] Prior to the invention described herein, chemical syntheses of hMOS were possible, but were limited by stereo-specificity issues, precursor availability, product impurities, and high overall cost (Flowers, H. M. Methods Enzymol 50, 93-121 (1978); Seeberger, P. H. Chem Commun (Camb) 1115-1121 (2003); Koeller, K. M. & Wong, C. H. Chem Rev 100, 4465-4494 (2000)). Also, prior to the invention described herein, in vitro enzymatic syntheses were also possible, but were limited by a requirement for expensive nucleotide-sugar precursors. The invention overcomes the shortcomings of these previous attempts by providing new strategies to inexpensively manufacture large quantities of human milk oligosaccharides for use as dietary supplements. The invention described herein makes use of an engineered bacterium E. coli (or other bacteria) engineered to produce sialylated oligosaccharides in commercially viable levels, for example the methods described herein enable the production of 3′-SL at >50 g/L in bioreactors.

[0076] The present invention features introducing exogenous genes into bacterium to manipulate the pathways to increase UDP-GlcNAc pools, to produce sialylated oligosaccharides and to produce N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharides. In any of the methods described herein, the genes or gene products may be variants or functional fragments thereof.

[0077] A variant of any of genes or gene products disclosed herein may have 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity to the nucleic acid or amino acid sequences described herein. The term “% identity,” in the context of two or more nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences, refer 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 one of the following sequence comparison algorithms or by visual inspection. For example, % identity is relative to the entire length of the coding regions of the sequences being compared, or the length of a particular fragment or functional domain thereof.

[0078] Variants as disclosed herein also include homolog, orthologs, or paralogs of the genes or gene products described herein that retain the same biological function as the genes or gene products specified herein. These variants can be used interchangeably with the genes recited in these methods. Such variants may demonstrate a percentage of homology or identity, for example, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identity conserved domains important for biological function, preferably in a functional domain, e.g. catalytic domain.

For sequence comparison, 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. Percent identity is determined using BLAST and PSI-BLAST (Altschul et al., 1990, J Mol Biol 215:3, 403-410; Altschul et al., 1997, Nucleic Acids Res 25:17, 3389-402). For the PSI-BLAST search, the following exemplary parameters are employed: (1) Expect threshold was 10; (2) Gap cost was Existence:11 and Extension:1; (3) The Matrix employed was BLOSUM62; (4) The filter for low complexity regions was “on”.

[0079] Changes can be introduced by mutation into the nucleic acid sequence or amino acid sequence of any of the genes or gene products described herein, leading to changes in the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein or enzyme, without altering the functional ability of the protein or enzyme. For example, nucleotide substitutions leading to amino acid substitutions at “non-essential” amino acid residues can be made in the sequence of any of sequences expressly disclosed herein. A “non-essential” amino acid residue is a residue at a position in the sequence that can be altered from the wild-type sequence of the polypeptide without altering the biological activity, whereas an “essential” amino acid residue is a residue at a position that is required for biological activity. For example, amino acid residues that are conserved among members of a family of proteins are not likely to be amenable to mutation. Other amino acid residues, however, (e.g., those that are poorly conserved among members of the protein family) may not be as essential for activity and thus are more likely to be amenable to alteration. Thus, another aspect of the invention pertains to nucleic acid molecules encoding the proteins or enzymes disclosed herein that contain changes in amino acid residues relative to the amino acid sequences disclosed herein that are not essential for activity.

[0080] An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein homologous to any of the genes described herein can be created by introducing one or more nucleotide substitutions, additions or deletions into the corresponding nucleotide sequence, such that one or more amino acid substitutions, additions or deletions are introduced into the encoded protein.

[0081] Mutations can be introduced into a nucleic acid sequence such that the encoded amino acid sequence is altered by standard techniques, such as site-directed mutagenesis and PCR-mediated mutagenesis. Preferably, conservative amino acid substitutions are made at one or more predicted non-essential amino acid residues. A “conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art. Certain amino acids have side chains with more than one classifiable characteristic. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, tryptophan, cysteine), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tyrosine, tryptophan), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Thus, a predicted nonessential amino acid residue in a given polypeptide is replaced with another amino acid residue from the same side chain family. Alternatively, in another embodiment, mutations can be introduced randomly along all or part of a given coding sequence, such as by saturation mutagenesis, and the resultant mutants can be screened for given polypeptide biological activity to identify mutants that retain activity. Conversely, the invention also provides for variants with mutations that enhance or increase the endogenous biological activity. Following mutagenesis of the nucleic acid sequence, the encoded protein can be expressed by any recombinant technology known in the art and the activity of the protein can be determined. An increase, decrease, or elimination of a given biological activity of the variants disclosed herein can be readily measured by the ordinary person skilled in the art, i.e., by measuring the capability for mediating oligossacharide modification, synthesis, or degradation (via detection of the products).

[0082] The present invention also provides for functional fragments of the genes or gene products described herein. A fragment, in the case of these sequences and all others provided herein, is defined as a part of the whole that is less than the whole. Moreover, a fragment ranges in size from a single nucleotide or amino acid within a polynucleotide or polypeptide sequence to one fewer nucleotide or amino acid than the entire polynucleotide or polypeptide sequence. Finally, a fragment is defined as any portion of a complete polynucleotide or polypeptide sequence that is intermediate between the extremes defined above.

[0083] For example, fragments of any of the proteins or enzymes disclosed herein or encoded by any of the genes disclosed herein can be 10 to 20 amino acids, 10 to 30 amino acids, 10 to 40 amino acids, 10 to 50 amino acids, 10 to 60 amino acids, 10 to 70 amino acids, 10 to 80 amino acids, 10 to 90 amino acids, 10 to 100 amino acids, 50 to 100 amino acids, 75 to 125 amino acids, 100 to 150 amino acids, 150 to 200 amino acids, 200 to 250 amino acids, 250 to 300 amino acids, 300 to 350 amino acids, 350 to 400 amino acids, 400 to 450 amino acids, or 450 to 500 amino acids. The fragments encompassed in the present invention comprise fragments that retain functional fragments. As such, the fragments preferably retain the catalytic domains that are required or are important for functional activity. Fragments can be determined or generated by using the sequence information herein, and the fragments can be tested for functional activity using standard methods known in the art. For example, the encoded protein can be expressed by any recombinant technology known in the art and the activity of the protein can be determined. The biological function of said fragment can be measured by measuring ability to synthesize or modify a substrate oligosaccharide, or conversely, to catabolize an oligosaccharide substrate.

[0084] The E. coli K12 prototroph, W3110, was chosen as the parent background for hMOS biosynthesis. This strain had previously been modified at the ampC locus by the introduction of a tryptophan-inducible P_troB-cI+ repressor construct (McCoy, J. & Lavallie, E. Current protocols in molecular biology/edited by Frederick M. Ausubel et al., (2001)), enabling economical production of recombinant proteins from the phage λ P_L promoter (Sanger, F., Coulson, A. R., Hong, G. F., Hill, D. F. & Petersen, G. B. J Mol Biol 162, 729-773 (1982)) through induction with millimolar concentrations of tryptophan (Mieschendahl, M., Petri, T. & Hänggi, U. Nature Biotechnology 4, 802-808 (1986)). The strain G1724, an E. coli W3110 derivative containing the tryptophan-inducible P_trpB-cI+ repressor construct in ampC, was used at the basis for further E. coli strain manipulations

[0085] Biosynthesis of hMOS requires the generation of an enhanced cellular pool of lactose. This enhancement was achieved in strain G1724 through several manipulations of the chromosome using X, Red recombineering (Court, D. L., Sawitzke, J. A. & Thomason, L. C. Annu Rev Genet 36, 361-388 (2002)) and generalized P1 phage transduction (Thomason, L. C., Costantino, N. & Court, D. L. Mol Biol Chapter 1, Unit 1.17 (2007)). The ability of the E. coli host strain to accumulate intracellular lactose was first engineered by simultaneous deletion of the endogenous β-galactosidase gene (lacZ) and the lactose operon repressor gene (lacI). During construction of this deletion, the laclq promoter was placed immediately upstream of the lactose permease gene, lacY. The modified strain thus maintains its ability to transport lactose from the culture medium (via LacY), but is deleted for the wild-type copy of the lacZ (β-galactosidase) gene responsible for lactose catabolism. An intracellular lactose pool is therefore created when the modified strain is cultured in the presence of exogenous lactose.

[0086] An additional modification useful for increasing the cytoplasmic pool of free lactose (and hence the final yield of hMOS) is the incorporation of a lacA mutation. LacA is a lactose acetyltransferase that is only active when high levels of lactose accumulate in the E. coli cytoplasm. High intracellular osmolarity (e.g., caused by a high intracellular lactose pool) can inhibit bacterial growth, and E. coli has evolved a mechanism for protecting itself from high intra cellular osmolarity caused by lactose by “tagging” excess intracellular lactose with an acetyl group using LacA, and then actively expelling the acetyl-lactose from the cell (Danchin, A. Bioessays 31, 769-773 (2009)). Production of acetyl-lactose in E. coli engineered to produce human milk oligosaccharides is therefore undesirable: it reduces overall yield. Moreover, acetyl-lactose is a side product that complicates oligosaccharide purification schemes. The incorporation of a lacA mutation resolves these problems, as carrying a deletion of the lacA gene renders the bacterium incapable of synthesizing acetyl-lactose.

[0087] A thyA (thymidylate synthase) mutation was introduced by almost entirely deleting the thyA gene and replacing it by an inserted functional, wild-type, but promoter-less E. coli lacZ⁺ gene carrying the 2.8 ribosome binding site (SEQ ID NO: 10) (ΔthyA::(2.8RBS lacZ⁺,kan^r). λ Red recombineering was used to perform the construction. FIG. 4 illustrates the new configuration of genes thus engineered at the thyA locus. The complete DNA sequence of the region, with annotations in GenBank format is disclosed herein. Genomic DNA sequence surrounding the lacZ+ insertion into the thyA region is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0088] The thyA defect can be complemented in trans by supplying a wild-type thyA gene on a multicopy plasmid (Belfort, M., Maley, G. F. & Maley, F. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 80, 1858 (1983)). This complementation is used herein as a means of plasmid maintenance (eliminating the need for a more conventional antibiotic selection scheme to maintain plasmid copy number).

[0089] The genotype of strain E680 is given below. E680 incorporates all the changes discussed above and is a host strain suitable for the production of N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharides.

• • [0090] F′402 proA+B+, Placlq-lacY, Δ(lacI-lacZ) 158, ΔlacA398/araC, Δgpt-mhpC, ΔthyA::(2.8RBS lacZ+, KAN), rpoS+, rph+, ampC::(Ptrp T7g10 RBS-λcI+, CAT)

[0091] E796 is a strain similar to E680 and carries a thyA (thymidylate synthase) mutation, introduced by almost entirely deleting the thyA gene and replacing it by an inserted functional, wild-type, but promoter-less E. coli lacZ⁺ gene but carrying the 0.8 ribosome binding site (SEQ ID NO: 11) [ΔthyA::(0.8RBS lacZ+, KAN)]. The genotype of strain E796 is given below. E796 incorporates all the changes discussed above and is a host strain suitable for the production of N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharides.

• • [0092] F′402 proA+B+, Placlq-lacY, Δ(lacI-lacZ) 158, ΔlacA398/araC, Δgpt-mhpC, ΔthyA::(2.8RBS lacZ+, KAN), rpoS+, rph+, ampC::(Ptrp T7g10 RBS-λcI+, CAT)

[0093] E866 is a strain similar to E796 and is useful for dual plasmid selection. E866 also carries a thyA (thymidylate synthase) mutation, introduced by almost entirely deleting the thyA gene and replacing it by an inserted functional, wild-type, but promoter-less E. coli lacZ⁺ gene and carrying the 0.8 ribosome binding site (SEQ ID NO: 11) [ΔthyA::(0.8RBS lacZ+)]. In addition to the thyA deletion E866 also carries a deletion of the purA gene. The genotype of strain E866 is given below. E866 incorporates all the changes discussed above and is a host strain suitable for the production of N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharides.

• • [0094] F′402 proA+B+, Placlq-lacY, Δ(lacI-lacZ) 158, ΔlacA398/araC, Δgpt-mhpC, ΔthyA::(0.8RBS lacZ+), rpoS+, rph+, ampC::(Ptrp T7g10 RBS-λcI+, CAT), ΔpurA727::KAN

[0095] The first step in the synthesis (from a lactose precursor) of both Lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) and Lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) is the addition of a β(1,3)N-acetylglucosamine residue to lactose, utilizing a heterologous β(1,3)-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase to form Lacto-N-triose 2 (LNT2). The plasmid pG292 (ColE1, thyA+, bla+, P_L-lgtA) (SEQ ID NO: 2, FIG. 5) carries the lgtA β(1,3)-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene of N. meningitidis and can direct the production of LNT2 in E. coli strain E680 under appropriate culture conditions. pG221 (ColE1, thyA+, bla+, P_L-lgtA-wbgO) (SEQ ID NO: 3, FIG. 6) is a derivative of pG292 that carries (arranged as an operon) both the lgtA β(1,3)-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene of N. meningitidis and the wbgO β(1,3)-galactosyltransferase gene of E. coli 055:H7. pG221 directs the production of LNT in E. coli strain E680 under appropriate culture conditions. pG222 (ColE1, thyA+, bla+, P_L—IgtA-4GalT) (SEQ ID NO: 4, FIG. 7) is a derivative of pG292 that carries (arranged as an operon) both the lgtA β(1,3)-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase gene of N. meningitidis and the 4GalT (jhp0765) β(1,4)-galactosyltransferase gene of H. pylori. pG222 directs the production of LNnT in E. coli strain E680 under appropriate culture conditions.

[0096] The addition of tryptophan to the lactose-containing growth medium of cultures of any one of the E680-derivative strains transformed with plasmids pG292, pG221 or pG222 leads, for each particular E680/plasmid combination, to activation of the host E. coli tryptophan utilization repressor TrpR, subsequent repression of P_trpB, and a consequent decrease in cytoplasmic cI levels, which results in a de-repression of P_L, expression of lgtA, lgtA+wbgO, or IgtA+4GalT respectively, and production of LNT2, LNT, or LNnT respectively.

[0097] For LNT2, LNT, or LNnT production in small scale laboratory cultures (<100 ml), strains were grown at 30° C. in a selective medium lacking both thymidine and tryptophan to early exponential phase (e.g., M9 salts, 0.5% glucose, 0.4% casaminoacids). Lactose was then added to a final concentration of 0.5 or 1%, along with tryptophan (200 μM final) to induce expression of the respective glycosyltransferases, driven from the P_L promoter. At the end of the induction period (˜24 h), TLC analysis was performed on aliquots of cell-free culture medium. FIG. 8 illustrates schematically the enzymatic reactions necessary to produce from lactose, via the intermediate trisaccharide lacto-N-triose 2 (LNT2), the two human milk oligosaccharides; Lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) and Lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT). A thin layer chromatogram (on left) is presented of culture medium samples taken from small scale E. coli cultures and demonstrating synthesis of LNT2, LNT, and LNnT (utilizing induced, lactose-containing cultures of E680 transformed with pG292, pG221 or pG222 respectively). A second thin layer chromatogram (on right) is presented of culture medium samples taken from an E. coli E680/pG222 15 L bioreactor culture and demonstrating synthesis of LNnT (as well as the higher molecular weight hMOS, Lacto-N-neohexaose, LNnH).

[0098] Although the above results clearly demonstrate how it is possible to synthesize GlcNAc-containing oligosaccharides (i.e. LNT2, LNT and LNnT) in engineered E. coli, FIG. 14 illustrates a serious problem faced when attempting to use the E. coli UDP-GlcNAc pool during such syntheses. In FIG. 14 four separate cultures of E680, transformed with pG292, were grown in the presence and absence of lactose, and with LgtA expression both induced and uninduced by tryptophan addition. It can clearly be seen that massive cell lysis occurs in the cultures where lactose is present—i.e. in those cultures where LgtA draws down the cellular UDP-GlcNAc pool by adding GlcNAc to lactose (and making LNT2). In so doing, UDP-GlcNAc is diverted from cell wall biosynthesis towards hMOS biosynthesis, and cell lysis results. This lysis can be monitored readily not only by the precipitous drop in culture density as seen in the figure, but also by the appearance of DNA in the culture medium.

[0099] To examine the impact of enhancing the E. coli cellular UDP-GlcNAc pool during synthesis of N-acetylglucosamine-containing hMOS the p15A replicon plasmid pG356 was constructed (FIG. 19 and SEQ ID NO:12). pG356 carries a p15A replicon (compatible with ColE1 replicons), purA and ampC selectable markers, and a synthetic operon (under control of the pL promoter) carrying the E. coli glmS (encoding L-glutamine:D-fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase) and nagC (encoding the bi-functional transcriptional activator/repressor of glm and nag operons) genes. When pL is active in strains carrying the plasmid pG356, the UDP-GlcNAc pool increases. Strain E796 (see example 1) was transformed with pG222 (FIG. 7), and strain E866 (see example 1) was transformed with both pG222 (FIG. 7) and pG356 (FIG. 19). (Strains E796 and E866 are isogenic save for the purA mutation found in E866 that is used for pG356 plasmid retention). Identical 1.5 L fermentation runs were performed on each of the transformed strains. Optical density of the cultures and LNnT biosynthesis was followed, along with standard fermentation parameters. As can be seen in FIG. 18, the E796/pG222 culture produced LNnT, but lysed when the cell density reached 75 OD600, and achieved a final cell density at end-of-fermentation of only 50 OD600. In contrast (FIG. 19) with the E866/pG222+pG356 culture (where expression of the glmS and bagC genes enhance the intracellular UDP-GlcNAc pool) LNnT was also produced, but with no cell lysis observed. In this culture end-of-fermentation cell density reached 108 OD600—more than twice the density achieved for E796/pG222.

[0100] For the production of 6′ sialyllactose, Escherichia coli GI724 (ATCC55151) was engineered with a set of mutations that cause cytoplasmic accumulation of non-acetylated lactose precursor and prevent the degradation of N-acetyl-5-neuraminic acid (FIG. 3). In particular, the lacZ (β-galactosidase) and lacA (lactose acetyl transferase) genes from the lac operon were deleted, leaving the Laclq repressor and the LacY permease fully functional. The LacY permease can be driven by weak (e.g. lac8) or strong (e.g. Ptac) promoters. The entire nan operon (nanRATEK; structural and regulatory genes involved in neuraminic acid degradation) was deleted in this example. E. coli genome manipulations were achieved using a combination of standard molecular genetics techniques, specifically lambda-Red recombineering, allele exchanges with positive selection suicide vectors, and P1 transductions (FIG. 3). The host genotype of strain E781, suitable for production of sialylated hMOS, is presented below:

• [0101] ampC::(Ptrp-λcI+), laclq lacPL8, ΔnanRATEK471, ΔlacZ690, ΔlacA 745

[0102] To produce 6′-sialyllactose, the cellular UDP-GlcNAc pool must be converted into the sugar-nucleotide activated precursor, CMP-NeuAc, which in turn can function as a donor molecule for a sugar acceptor (i.e. lactose) in a sialyltransferase-catalyzed reaction (FIG. 3). To this purpose, three genes from Campylobacter jejuni ATCC43438, encoding i) UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase (NeuC), ii) N-acetylneuraminate synthase (NeuB), and iii) N-Acetylneuraminate cytidylyltransferase (NeuA), were constitutively co-expressed in the engineered E. coli strain described above, along with a gene encoding an α(2,6) sialyltransferase from Photobacterium spp JT-ISH-224 (SEQ ID NO:21 Genbank protein Accession BAF92026, incorporated herein by reference). The neu genes were expressed from a low copy number plasmid vector (pG317, FIG. 9, SEQ ID NO: 5) carrying a constitutive lac promoter (pBBR1 ori, cat+, Plac), while the α(2,6)sialyltransferase gene was expressed from a high copy number plasmid vector (pG315, FIG. 10, SEQ ID NO: 6) carrying a constitutive lac promoter (ColE1 ori, bla+, Plac). To prevent the synthesis of side-products, the relative expression for the α(2,6)sialyltransferase gene compared to the neu genes is modulated by engineering differing ribosomal binding sites (RBS) providing various degrees of translational efficiency upstream of the α(2,6)sialyltransferase gene. Engineered strains were grown to high density in pilot scale fermentors using a batch to fed-batch strategy. FIG. 11 is a TLC analysis of culture supernatants from two such fermentations, with samples to the left of the figure being taken from a fermentation of a strain containing pG315 (and thus carrying the RBS presented in SEQ ID NO: 7 in front of the α(2,6)sialyltransferase gene in the vector). Samples on the right of the figure are taken from a fermentation of a strain containing a close variant of pG315 (pG345, FIG. 12, SEQ ID NO:9, carrying the weaker RBS presented in SEQ ID NO: 8 in front of the α(2,6)sialyltransferase gene and replacing the RBS presented in SEQ ID NO: 7). In both cases, the lactose precursor was added at a cell density of 50 OD₆₀₀ and efficient conversion to final products was achieved within 48 hours from the lactose addition. The final yield of 6′SL was increased when utilizing the plasmid with the weaker RBS upstream of the α(2,6)sialyltransferase gene, and moreover the level of KDO-lactose side product is very significantly decreased using this weaker RBS. The identity of the 6′-SL purified using activated carbon column chromatography was confirmed by ESI mass spectrometry and NMR.

[0103] For the production of 6′ sialyllactose, Escherichia coli GI724 (ATCC55151) was engineered with a set of mutations that cause cytoplasmic accumulation of non-acetylated lactose precursor and prevent the degradation of N-acetyl-5-neuraminic acid (FIG. 13). In particular, the lacZ (β-galactosidase) and lacA (lactose acetyl transferase) genes from the lac operon were deleted, leaving the Laclq repressor and the LacY permease fully functional. The LacY permease can be driven by weak (e.g. lac8) or strong (e.g. Ptac) promoters. While the entire nan operon (nanRATEK; structural and regulatory genes involved in neuraminic acid degradation) can be deleted to abolish neuraminic acid catabolism as in Example 4, lesser deletions encompassing just the nanA, or nanA, nanT and nanE, or nanA and nanE genes, are also suitable. In all the instances where the nanE gene was mutated, the last 104 by of the nanE gene were left intact to allow for undisturbed transcription/translation of downstream nanK, although other lengths of residual nanE sequence are possible. E. coli genome manipulations were achieved using a combination of standard molecular genetics techniques, specifically lambda-Red recombineering, allele exchanges with positive selection suicide vectors, and P1 transductions (FIG. 13). The host genotypes of strains E971, E1017 and E1018, suitable for production of sialylated hMOS with various yield and purity, are presented below:

• [0104] ampC::(Ptrp-λcI+), laclq lacPL8, ΔnanA:: kanR, ΔlacZ690, ΔlacA::scar,
• [0105] ampC::(Ptrp-λcI+), laclq lacPL8, ΔnanATE::kanR::nanK+, ΔlacZ690, ΔlacA:: scar and
• [0106] ampC::(Ptrp-λcI+), laclq lacPL8, ΔnanATE::scar::nanK+, ΔlacZ690, ΔlacA:: scar respectively

[0107] To produce 6′-sialyllactose, the cellular UDP-GlcNAc pool must be converted into the sugar-nucleotide activated precursor, CMP-NeuAc, which in turn can function as a donor molecule for a sugar acceptor (i.e. lactose) in a sialyltransferase-catalyzed reaction (FIG. 13). To this purpose, three genes from Campylobacter jejuni ATCC43438, encoding i) UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase (NeuC), ii) N-acetylneuraminate synthase (NeuB), and iii) N-Acetylneuraminate cytidylyltransferase (NeuA), were constitutively co-expressed in the engineered E. coli strain described above, along with a gene encoding an α(2,6) sialyltransferase from Photobacterium spp JT-ISH-224. The neu genes were expressed from a low copy number plasmid vector (pG317, FIG. 9, SEQ ID NO: 5) carrying a constitutive lac promoter (pBBR1 ori, cat+, Plac), while the α(2,6)sialyltransferase gene was expressed from the weak RBS of SEQ ID NO: 8 in a high copy number plasmid vector (pG345, FIG. 12, SEQ ID NO: 9) carrying a constitutive lac promoter (ColE1 ori, bla+, Plac). Engineered strains were grown to high density in pilot scale fermentors using a batch to fed-batch strategy. FIG. 14 is a TLC analysis of culture pellets or supernatants from three such fermentations. Panel A shows production and accumulation of 6′SL in the cells of three genetic backgrounds (only the relevant nan mutations are shown for strains E971, E1017 and E1018), Panel B and C show production and accumulation of 6′SL in the extracellular milieu (supernatants) in strains E971, E1017 and E1018 (only the relevant nan mutations are shown) with estimated maximum volumetric yields of 15 g per liter of supernatant. In all cases, the lactose precursor was added at a cell density of 40 OD₆₀₀ and steady state conversion to final products was achieved within approximately 90 hours from the lactose addition (EFT is elapsed fermentation time).
