Embodiment 1

[0092] Example 1: Cloning of a novel gene (nonScDLT1) that enhances low-temperature fermentability

[0093] As a result of searching the comparison database described in JP 2004-283169, a novel gene nonScDLT1 (sequence number 1) unique to brewer's yeast that enhances low-temperature fermentability was found. According to the obtained base sequence information, the primers nonScDLT1_F (SEQ ID NO: 3) / nonScDLT1_R (SEQ ID NO: 4) used to amplify the full-length gene were respectively designed, and PCR was performed using the chromosomal DNA of the genome reading strain Saccharomyces pastorianus Weihenstephan34 / 70 as a template , to obtain a DNA fragment including the full-length gene of nonScDLT1.

[0094] The nonScDLT1 gene fragment obtained above was inserted into pCR2.1-TOPO vector (manufactured by Invitrogen) by TA cloning. The base sequence of the nonScDLT1 gene was analyzed and determined by the Sanger method (F. Sanger, Science, 214, 1215, 1981).

Embodiment 2

[0095] Example 2: Analysis of nonScDLT1 gene expression in beer trial brewing

[0096] The brewer's yeast Saccharomyces pastorianus W34 / 70 strain was used for beer trial brewing, and the mRNA extracted from the brewer's yeast cell during fermentation was detected by the brewer's yeast DNA microarray.

[0097] Wort extract concentration 12.69%

[0098] Wort volume 70L

[0099] Dissolved oxygen concentration in wort 8.6ppm

[0100] Fermentation temperature 15°C

[0101] The amount of yeast added 12.8×10 6 cells / mL

[0102] The fermentation broth was sampled over time to observe the yeast proliferation ( figure 1 ), the apparent concentration of the extract ( figure 2 ) changes over time. Simultaneously, the yeast cells were sampled, the prepared mRNA was labeled with biotin, and hybridized with the brewer's yeast DNA microarray described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-283169. Carry out signal detection with GeneChip Operating System (GCOS; GeneChip Operating Soft...

Embodiment 3

[0103] Example 3 Preparation of nonScDLT1 high-expression strain

[0104] The nonScDLT1 / pCR2.1-TOPO described in Example 1 was digested with restriction enzymes SacI and NotI to prepare a DNA fragment including the full-length protein coding region. This fragment was ligated to pYCGPYNot treated with restriction enzymes SacI and NotI to construct nonScDLT1 high expression vector nonScDLT1 / pYCGPYNot. pYCGPYNot is a YCp-type yeast expression vector, and the introduced gene is highly expressed under the control of the promoter of pyruvate kinase gene PYK1. A selectable marker for yeast containing the geneticin resistance gene G418 r , in addition, the selectable marker for E. coli contains the ampicillin resistance gene Amp r .

[0105] Using the high expression vector made by the above method, adopt the method described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open 07-303475 to transform the AJL4004 strain, use the YPD plate medium (1% yeast extract, 2% polypeptone, 2% polypeptone) containing...

Abstract

Disclosed are a gene capable of enhancing low temperature properties (low temperature fermentation ability and / or resistance to freezing stress), and use of the gene. Particularly, disclosed are a brewing yeast having excellent low temperature properties, an alcoholic beverage produced using the yeast, a method for production of the alcoholic beverage, and others. More specifically, disclosed are a gene DLT1 encoding DLT1p which can enhance the low temperature properties of a brewing yeast, an yeast which is improved in low temperature properties by increasing the expression amount of a nonScDLT1 gene that is characteristic of a brewer's yeast, a method for production of an alcoholic beverage using the yeast, and others.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a gene that enhances low-temperature fermentability and / or freezing resistance (hereinafter referred to as "low-temperature performance") and its use, and particularly relates to brewing yeast with good low-temperature performance, alcohol produced using the yeast, and its production method. More specifically, the present invention relates to yeast with improved low-temperature performance by increasing the expression level of the gene DLT1 encoding the protein Dlt1p that enhances low-temperature performance in brewer's yeast, especially the nonScDLT1 characteristic gene of brewer's yeast, and wines using the yeast. manufacturing method, etc. Background technique [0002] The characteristic of lager beer storage is that it is fermented at low temperature (10-15°C), has no off-flavors, and has a refreshing taste. The bottom-fermenting yeast used in the production of lager has good low-temperature fermentability, but the...
