[0090] The term chondroitin is a polysaccharide of N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronique acid, linked via alternating -(1.fwdarw.4) and -(1.fwdarw.3) glycosidic bonds (alternating polymer of -glucuronic acid-(1.fwdarw.3)-N-acetyl--galactosamine-4-sulfate-(1.fwdarw.4)) and having the chemical formula (C.sub.14H.sub.21NO.sub.11)n.

[0091] The term Chondroitin, as used herein, is intended to cover chondroitin and its derivatives, which include but are not limited to chondroitin sulfates, useful for applications in a cosmetic product, flavor product a fragrance product, a food product, a food, a beverage, a texturant, a pharmaceutical composition, a dietary supplement, a nutraceutical, a cleaning product and/or a dental and/or an oral hygiene composition or combinations thereof.

[0096] The site of sulfation of Chondroitin-4,6-sulfate is carbons 4 and 6 of the GalNAc sugar.

[0097] Chondroitin derivatives, such as Chondroitin sulfate, may be useful in alleviating the risk of, reducing, preventing and/or treating osteoarthritis, cartilage deterioration, and osteoarthritis-related joint pain, tenderness, and/or swelling.

[0098] In particular, Chondroitin derivatives, such as Chondroitin sulfate, may be useful in alleviating the risk of, reducing, preventing and/or treating osteoarthritis; osteoarthritis-related joint pain, joint tenderness, and joint swelling; joint degeneration; and/or cartilage deterioration.

[0099] Chondroitin, in particular Chondroitin sulfate, may be used alone or with glucosamine as a dietary supplement for treatment of osteoarthritis; osteoarthritis-related joint pain, joint tenderness, and joint swelling; joint degeneration; and/or cartilage deterioration.

[0100] Chondroitin, in particular Chondroitin sulfate, may be prepared as a composition.

[0101] Chondroitin derivatives may be prepared from chondroitin through an appropriate chemical or enzymatic step.

[0102] Chondroitin may be produced in a recombinant cell.

[0103] As used herein, the term recombinant when used in reference to a cell indicates that the cell has been modified by the introduction of an endogenous and/or heterologous nucleic acid or protein into the cell or the alteration of a native cell, or that the cell is derived from a cell so modified. Thus, for example, recombinant cells express genes or nucleic acid that are not found within the native (non-recombinant) form of the cell or express native (eg endogenous) genes at a different level than their native level or express additional or supplementary copies of native (eg endogenous) at a different level than their native level.

[0104] As used herein, the term recombinant, when used in reference to a nucleic acid or vector, are sequences formed/obtained by technics of genetic engineering well known to the man skilled in the art. The guidelines of the US National Institute for Health (NIH) accordingly indicate that: [0105] recombinant [ . . . ] nucleic acids are defined as: [0106] i. molecules that (a) are constructed by joining nucleic acid molecules and (b) that can replicate in a living cell, i.e., recombinant nucleic acids;, [0107] which reflects the conventional use of the word recombinant attached to nucleic acid sequences to mean recombined following the insertion of, or joining together with, another nucleic acid.

[0108] Proteins that result from the expression of recombinant DNA or recombinant vector within living cells are also termed recombinant proteins.

[0109] The term recombinant is accordingly synonymous with the term genetically modified. The term gene is synonymous with the term nucleic acid or nucleotide sequence.

[0110] A recombinant nucleic acid sequence for use in a recombinant cell, and in particular a recombinant yeast, of the invention may be provided in the form of a nucleic acid construct. The term nucleic acid construct refers to as a nucleic acid molecule, either single- or double-stranded, which is isolated or derived from a native (eg endogeneous) naturally occurring gene or is a heterologous nucleic acid or which has been modified to contain segments of nucleic acids which are combined and juxtaposed in a manner which would not otherwise exist in nature. The term nucleic acid construct is synonymous with the term expression cassette or heterologous nucleic acid expression cassette when the nucleic acid construct contains one or more regulatory elements required for expression of a coding sequence, wherein said control sequences are operably linked to said coding sequence. Non-limiting examples of regulatory elements include promoters, enhancers, silencers, terminators, and poly-A signals.

[0111] A recombinant nucleic acid sequence for use in a recombinant cell of the invention may be provided in the form of an expression vector, wherein the polynucleotide sequence is operably linked to at least one control sequence for the expression of the polynucleotide sequence in a recombinant cell.

[0112] The terms obtained from or originate from or originating from a microorganism or animal generally means that a substance (e.g., a nucleic acid molecule or polypeptide) originating from the microorganism or animal is native to that microorganism or animal.

[0113] The terms derived from a microorganism or animal generally means that a substance (e.g., a nucleic acid molecule or polypeptide) derived from the microorganism or animal is the result of modifications brought to the substance native to (i.e. present as such) in that microorganism or animal. For example, regarding a nucleic acid sequence derived from a microorganism or animal, said nucleic acid sequence can correspond to a reencoded and/or truncated version of the native nucleic acid sequence from this microorganism or animal. Other modifications well known to the man skilled in the art can be brought to the native substance of a microorganism or animal leading to the substance used being derived from said microorganism or animal.

[0114] As used herein, the term polypeptide refers to a molecule comprising amino acid residues linked by peptide bonds and containing more than five amino acid residues. The amino acids are identified by either the single-letter or three-letter designations. The term protein as used herein is synonymous with the term polypeptide and may also refer to two or more polypeptides. Thus, the terms protein, peptide and polypeptide can be used interchangeably. Polypeptides may optionally be modified (e.g., glycosylated, phosphorylated, acylated, farnesylated, prenylated, sulfonated, and the like) to add functionality. Polypeptides exhibiting activity may be referred to as enzymes. It will be understood that, as a result of the degeneracy of the genetic code, a multitude of nucleotide sequences encoding a given polypeptide may be produced.

[0115] A polypeptide encoded by a recombinant nucleic acid for use in a recombinant cell, and in particular in a recombinant yeast, of the invention may comprise a signal peptide and/or a propeptide sequence. In the event that a polypeptide expressed by a recombinant cell, and in particular a recombinant yeast, of the invention comprises a signal peptide and/or a propeptide, sequence identity may be calculated over the mature polypeptide sequence.

[0116] The term operably linked as used herein refers to two or more nucleic acid sequence elements that are physically linked and are in a functional relationship with each other. For instance, a promoter is operably linked to a coding sequence if the promoter is able to initiate or regulate the transcription or expression of the coding sequence, in which case the coding sequence should be understood as being under the control of the promoter. Generally, when two nucleic acid sequences are operably linked, they will be in the same orientation and usually also in the same reading frame. They usually will be essentially contiguous, although this may not be required.

[0117] The term native or endogenous as used herein with reference to molecules, and in particular enzymes and nucleic acids, indicates molecules that are expressed in the organism in which they originated or are found in nature.

[0118] The term endogenous gene means that the gene was present in the cell before any genetic modification, in the wild-type strain. Endogenous genes may be overexpressed by introducing heterologous sequences in addition to, or to replace endogenous regulatory elements, or by introducing one or more additional or supplementary copies of the gene into the chromosome or a plasmid (said additional or supplementary copies being designated exogenous or heterologous genes or heterologous nucleotide sequences or heterologous nucleic acids as defined herein). Endogenous genes may also be modified to modulate their expression and/or activity. For example, mutations may be introduced into the coding sequence to modify the gene product or heterologous sequences may be introduced in addition to or to replace endogenous regulatory elements. Modulation of an endogenous gene may result in the up-regulation and/or enhancement of the activity of the gene product, or alternatively, in the down-regulation and/or attenuation of the activity of the endogenous gene product. Another way to enhance expression of endogenous genes is to introduce one or more additional or supplementary copies of the gene onto the chromosome or a plasmid (said supplementary copies being exogenous or heterologous genes or heterologous nucleotide sequences or heterologous nucleic acids as defined here-after).

[0119] By one or more additional or supplementary copies of a gene according to the invention, it is for example understood in the present invention from 1 to 50 copies, in particular from 1 to 30 copies, more particularly from 1 to 20 copies, and preferably from 1 to 10 copies. Said copies may be inserted into the same locus or into different loci of a recombinant cell of the invention.

[0120] The term exogenous gene means that the gene was introduced into a cell, by means well known to the man skilled in the art, whereas this gene is or is not naturally occurring in the wild-type cell. Cells can express exogenous genes if these genes are introduced into the cell with all the elements allowing their expression in the cell. Transforming cells with exogenous DNA is a routine task for the man skilled in the art. Exogenous genes may be integrated into the host chromosome, or be expressed extra-chromosomally from plasmids or vectors. A variety of plasmids, which differ with respect to their origin of replication and their copy number in the cell, are all known in the art. The sequence of exogenous genes may be adapted for its expression in the cell. Indeed, the man skilled in the art knows the notion of codon usage bias and how to adapt nucleic sequences for a particular codon usage bias without modifying the deduced protein. In particular embodiments, codon optimized genes express native enzymes.

[0121] The term heterologous gene or heterologous nucleic acid sequence refers to a gene or nucleic acid sequence not normally found in a given cell in nature. As such, a heterologous nucleic acid sequence may be: (a) foreign to its host cell (i.e. isexogenous to the cell); (b) naturally found in the host cell (i.e. endogenous) but present at an unnatural quantity in the cell (i.e., greater or lesser quantity than naturally found in the host cell); or (c) be naturally found in the host cell but positioned outside of its natural locus.

[0122] In the present application, all genes are referenced with their common names and with references to their nucleotide sequences and, the case arising, to their amino acid sequences. Using the references given in accession number for known genes, those skilled in the art are able to determine the equivalent genes in other organisms, bacterial strains, yeast, fungi, mammals, plants, etc. This routine work is advantageously done using consensus sequences that can be determined by carrying out sequence alignments with genes derived from other cells and designing degenerated probes to clone the corresponding gene in another organism.

[0123] The man skilled in the art knows different means to modulate, and in particular up-regulate or down-regulate, the expression of endogenous genes. For example, a way to enhance expression of, or overexpress, endogenous genes is to introduce one or more additional or supplementary copies of the gene onto the chromosome or a plasmid.

[0124] Another way is to replace the endogenous promoter of a gene with a stronger promoter. These promoters may be homologous or heterologous. Promoters particularly interesting in the present invention are described in more detail elsewhere in the present specification.

[0125] The nucleic acid expression construct may further comprise 5 and/or 3 recognition sequences and/or selection markers.

[0126] The term inducible promoter is used to qualify a promoter whose activity is induced, i.e. increased: [0127] in the presence of one or more particular metabolite(s). The higher the metabolite concentration in the medium, the stronger the promoter activity; or [0128] in the presence of a low concentration, or in the absence, of one or more metabolite(s). These metabolites are different from those whose increasing presence induces the activity of the promoter. The lower the metabolite concentration in the medium, the stronger the promoter activity.

[0129] The term repressible promoter is used to qualify a promoter whose activity is repressed, i.e. reduced: [0130] in the presence of one or more particular metabolite(s). The higher the metabolite concentration in the medium, the weaker the promoter activity; or [0131] in the presence of a low concentration, or in the absence, of one or more metabolite(s). These metabolites are different from those whose increasing presence represses the activity of the promoter. The lower the metabolite concentration in the medium, the weaker the promoter activity.

[0132] As used herein, the term anchoring signal when used in conjunction with a protein or polypeptide such as an enzyme (such as, for example hyaluronidase) means for example a first nucleic acid encoding a protein that is operably linked to a second nucleic acid encoding a protein or a polypeptide, or a first protein or polypeptide that is operably linked to a second protein or polypeptide, such as an enzyme (such as, for example hyaluronidase to form, for example a fusion protein), and that enables the cellular transport machinery of a cell, in particular of a S. cerevisiae cell, to correctly anchor and/or position in the membrane of the cell the second protein operably linked to the first protein.

[0133] As used herein, the term secretion signal when used in conjunction with a protein or polypeptide such as an enzyme (such as, for example hyaluronidase) means for example a first nucleic acid encoding a peptide or protein that is operably linked to a second nucleic acid encoding a protein, or a first protein that is linked to a second protein, such as an enzyme (such as, for example hyaluronidase to form, for example a fusion protein), and that enables the cellular transport machinery of a cell, in particular of a S. cerevisiae cell, to locate at least the second protein to the membrane of the cell and to secrete the second protein outside of the cell, after the first protein has, for example, been cleaved from the second protein.

[0134] As used herein the terms secretion signal and anchoring signal when used in conjunction with a protein or polypeptide such as an enzyme (such as, for example, hyaluronidase), mean for example a first nucleic acid encoding a peptide or protein that is operably linked to a second nucleic acid encoding a protein, or a first protein that is operably linked to a second protein, such as an enzyme (such as, for example hyaluronidase), and that enables the cellular transport machinery of a cell, in particular of a S. cerevisiae cell, to locate at least the second protein to the membrane of the cell wherein if the second protein is also operably linked to an anchoring signal the second protein is not secreted but remains attached to the membrane of the cell. In some cases, a secretion-anchoring signal may provide a dual secretion signal and anchoring signal function.

[0135] Sequences of secretion and anchoring signals, methods for the expression, anchoring and/or secretion of heterologous proteins, such as enzymes (such as, for example, hyaluronidase) on the surface of a cell (such, as for example, a yeast cell) are well known in the art (see for example, Ast et al (2013) Cell 152: 1134-1145, Ast and Schuldiner (2013) Crit Rev Biochem Mol Biol 48(3) 273-288, Van der Vaart et al (1997) Applied Environmental Microbiology 63(2) 615-620 and the entire contents of each of these publications are incorporated herein by reference). The activity of an enzyme is used interchangeably with the term function and designates, in the context of the invention, the capacity of an enzyme to catalyze a desired reaction. The amount of an enzyme in a host cell may be altered by modifying the transcription of the gene that encodes the enzyme. This can be achieved for example by modifying the copy number of the nucleotide sequence encoding the enzyme (e.g., by using a higher or lower copy number expression vector comprising the nucleotide sequence, or by introducing additional copies of the nucleotide sequence into the genome of the host cell or by deleting or disrupting the nucleotide sequence in the genome of the host cell), by changing the order of coding sequences on a polycistronic mRNA of an operon or breaking up an operon into individual genes each with its own control elements, or by increasing the strength of the promoter or operator to which the nucleotide sequence is operably linked.

[0136] Alternatively or in addition, the copy number of an enzyme in a host cell may be altered by modifying the level of translation of an mRNA that encodes the enzyme. This can be achieved for example by modifying the stability of the mRNA, modifying the sequence of the ribosome binding site, modifying the distance or sequence between the ribosome binding site and the start codon of the enzyme coding sequence, modifying the entire intercistronic region located upstream of or adjacent to the 5 side of the start codon of the enzyme coding region, stabilizing the 3-end of the mRNA transcript using hairpins and specialized sequences, modifying the codon usage of enzyme, altering expression of rare codon tRNAs used in the biosynthesis of the enzyme, and/or increasing the stability of the enzyme, as, for example, via mutation of its coding sequence.

[0137] The activity of an enzyme in a host cell can be altered in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, expressing a modified form of the enzyme that exhibits increased or decreased solubility in the host cell, expressing an altered form of the enzyme that lacks a domain through which the activity of the enzyme is inhibited, expressing a modified form of the enzyme that has a higher or lower Kcat or a lower or higher Km for the substrate, or expressing an altered form of the enzyme that is more or less affected by feed back or feed-forward regulation by another molecule in the pathway. The terms encoding or coding for refer to the process by which a polynucleotide, through the mechanisms of transcription and translation, produces an amino-acid sequence.

[0138] The gene(s) encoding the enzyme(s) considered in the present invention can be exogenous or endogenous.

[0139] The methods implemented in the present invention preferably require the use of one or more chromosomal integration constructs for the stable introduction of a heterologous nucleotide sequence into a specific location on a chromosome or for the functional disruption of one or more target genes in a genetically modified cell. In some embodiments, disruption of a target gene prevents the expression of the related functional protein. In some embodiments, disruption of a target gene results in the expression of a non-functional protein from the disrupted gene.

[0140] Parameters of chromosomal integration constructs that may be varied in the practice of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the lengths of the homologous sequences; the nucleotide sequence of the homologous sequences; the length of the integrating sequence; the nucleotide sequence of the integrating sequence; and the nucleotide sequence of the target locus. In some embodiments, an effective range for the length of each homologous sequence is 20 to 5,000 base pairs, preferentially 50 to 100 base pairs. In particular embodiments, the length of each homologous sequence is about 50 base pairs. For more information on the length of homology required for gene targeting, see D. Burke et al., Methods in yeast GeneticsA cold spring harbor laboratory course Manual (2000).

[0141] In some embodiments, (a) disrupted gene(s) in which the above-mentioned DNA construct(s) is/are intended to be inserted may advantageously comprises one or more selectable markers useful for the selection of transformed cells. Preferably, said selectable marker(s) are comprised in the DNA construct(s) according to the present invention.

[0142] In some embodiments, the selectable marker is an antibiotic resistance marker. Illustrative examples of antibiotic resistance markers include, but are not limited to the, NAT1, AUR1-C, HPH, DSDA, KAN<R>, and SH BLE gene products. The NAT 1 gene product from S. noursei confers resistance to nourseothricin; the AUR1-C gene product from Saccharomyces cerevisiae confers resistance to Auerobasidin A (AbA); the HPH gene product of Klebsiella pneumoniae confers resistance to Hygromycin B; the DSDA gene product of E. coli allows cells to grow on plates with D-serine as the sole nitrogen source; the KAN<R> gene of the Tn903 transposon confers resistance to G418; and the SH BLE gene product from Streptoalloteichus hindustanus confers resistance to Zeocin (bleomycin).

[0143] In some embodiments, the antibiotic resistance marker is deleted after the genetically modified cell of the invention is isolated. The man skilled in the art is able to choose suitable marker in specific genetic context.

[0144] In a particular embodiment, a recombinant cell according to the invention is devoid of any antibiotic resistance marker. This advantageously prevents the necessity to add antibiotics in the selection medium.

[0145] In some embodiments, the selectable marker rescues an auxotrophy (e.g., a nutritional auxotrophy) in the genetically modified cell. In such embodiments, a parent cell, and in particular a parent yeast, comprises a functional disruption in one or more gene products that function in an amino acid or nucleotide biosynthetic pathway, such as, for example, the HIS3, LEU2, LYS1, LYS2, MET15, TRP1, ADE2, and URA3 gene products in yeast, which renders the parent cell incapable of growing in media without supplementation with one or more nutrients (auxotrophic phenotype). The auxotrophic phenotype can then be rescued by transforming the parent cell with a chromosomal integration encoding a functional copy of the disrupted gene product (in some embodiments, the functional copy of the gene may originate from close species, such as Kluyveromyces, Candida etc.), and the genetically modified cell generated can be selected based on the loss of the auxotrophic phenotype of the parent cell.

[0146] For each of the nucleic acid sequences comprising a promoter sequence, a coding sequence (e.g. an enzyme coding sequence), or a terminator sequence, reference sequences are described herein. The present description also encompasses nucleic acid sequences having specific percentages of nucleic acid identity with a reference nucleic acid sequence.

[0147] For each or the amino acid sequences of interest, reference sequences are described herein. The present description also encompasses amino acid sequences (e.g. enzyme amino acid sequences), having specific percentages of amino acid identity with a reference amino acid sequence.

[0148] For obvious reasons, in all the present description, a specific nucleic acid sequence or a specific amino acid sequence which complies with, respectively, the considered nucleotide or amino acid identity, should further lead to obtaining a protein (or enzyme) which displays the desired biological activity. As used herein, the percentage of identity between two nucleic acid sequences or between two amino acid sequences is determined by comparing both optimally aligned sequences through a comparison window.

[0149] The portion of the nucleotide or amino-acid sequence in the comparison window may thus include additions or deletions (for example gaps) as compared to the reference sequence (which does not include these additions or these deletions) so as to obtain an optimal alignment between both sequences.

[0150] The terms sequence homology or sequence identity or homology or identity are used interchangeably herein. For the purpose of the invention, it is defined here that in order to determine the percentage of sequence homology or sequence identity of two amino acid sequences or of two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes. In order to optimize the alignment between the two sequences gaps may be introduced in any of the two sequences that are compared. Such alignment can be carried out over the full length of the sequences being compared. Alternatively, the alignment may be carried out over a shorter length, for example over about 20, about 50, about 100 or more nucleic acids/based or amino acids. The sequence identity is the percentage of identical matches between the two sequences over the reported aligned region. A comparison of sequences and determination of percentage of sequence identity between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. The skilled person will be aware of the fact that several different computer programs are available to align two sequences and determine the identity between two sequences (Kruskal, J. B. (1983) An overview of sequence comparison In D. Sankoff and J. B. Kruskal, (ed.), Time warps, string edits and macromolecules: the theory and practice of sequence comparison, pp. 1-44 Addison Wesley).

[0151] The percent sequence identity between two amino acid sequences or between two nucleotide sequences may be determined using the Needleman and Wunsch algorithm for the alignment of two sequences. (Needleman, S. B. and Wunsch, C. D. (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48, 443-453). Both amino acid sequences and nucleotide sequences can be aligned by the algorithm. The Needleman-Wunsch algorithm has been implemented in the computer program NEEDLE.

[0152] For the purpose of the invention, the NEEDLE program from the EMBOSS package was used (version 2.8.0 or higher, EMBOSS: The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (2000) Rice, P. Longden J. and Bleasby, A. Trends in Genetics 16, (6) pp 276-277, http://emboss.bioinformatics.nl/). For protein sequences EBLOSUM62 is used for the substitution matrix. For nucleotide sequence, EDNAFULL is used. The optional parameters used are a gap opening penalty of 10 and a gap extension penalty of 0.5. No end gap penalty is added. In the Output section, Yes has been indicated in response to the question Brief identity and similarity and SRS pairwise indicated as Output alignment format.

[0153] After alignment by the program NEEDLE as described above the percentage of sequence identity between a query sequence and a sequence of the invention is calculated as follows: Number of corresponding positions in the alignment showing an identical amino acid or identical nucleotide in both sequences divided by the total length of the alignment after subtraction of the total number of gaps in the alignment. The identity defined as herein can be obtained from NEEDLE by using the NOBRIEF option and is labeled in the output of the program as longest-identity.

[0154] The similarity of nucleotide and amino acid sequences, i.e. the percentage of sequence identity, can be determined via sequence alignments using several other art-known algorithms, preferably with the mathematical algorithm of Karlin and Altschul (Karlin & Altschul (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 5873-5877), with hmmalign (HMMER package, http://hmmer.wustl.edu/) or with the CLUSTAL algorithm (Thompson, J. D., Higgins, D. G. & Gibson, T. J. (1994) Nucleic Acids Res. 22, 4673-80) available e.g. on https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalo/ or the GAP program (mathematical algorithm of the University of Iowa) or the mathematical algorithm of Myers and Miller (1989Cabios 4: 11-17) or Clone Manager 9. Preferred parameters used are the default parameters as they are set on https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalo/.

[0155] The grade of sequence identity (sequence matching) may be calculated using e.g. BLAST, BLAT or BlastZ (or BlastX). A similar algorithm is incorporated into the BLASTN and BLASTP programs of Altschul et al (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215, 403-410. BLAST polynucleotide searches are performed with the BLASTN program, score=100, word length=12, to obtain polynucleotide sequences that are homologous to those nucleic acids which encode the relevant protein.

[0156] BLAST protein searches are performed with the BLASTP program, score=50, word length=3, to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to the SHC polypeptide. To obtain gapped alignments for comparative purposes, Gapped BLAST is utilized as described in Altschul et al (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25, 3389-3402. When utilizing BLAST and Gapped BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs are used. Sequence matching analysis may be supplemented by established homology mapping techniques like Shuffle-LAGAN (Brudno M., Bioinformatics 2003b, 19 Suppl 1: 154-162) or Markov random fields. When percentages of sequence identity are referred to in the present application, these percentages are calculated in relation to the full length of the longer sequence, if not specifically indicated otherwise.

[0157] In particular embodiments, % identity between two sequences is determined using CLUSTAL O (version 1.2.4).

[0158] The fermentation or culture is generally conducted in fermenters with an appropriate culture medium adapted to the cell being cultivated, containing at least one simple carbon source, and if necessary co-substrates.

[0159] The term fermentation composition refers to a composition which comprises genetically modified host cells and products or metabolites produced by the genetically modified host cells. An example of a fermentation composition is a whole cell broth, which can be the entire contents of a vessel (e.g., a flasks, plate, or fermentor), including cells, aqueous phase, and compounds produced from the genetically modified host cells.

[0160] The term medium refers to a culture medium or cultivation medium or fermentation medium.

[0161] For maximal production of chondroitin, the recombinant cells used as production hosts preferably have a high rate of carbohydrate utilization. These characteristics may be conferred by mutagenesis and selection, genetic engineering, or may be natural. Fermentation media, or culture medium or cultivation medium, for the present cells may contain at least about 10 g/L of glucose and/or sucrose. Additional carbon substrates may include but are not limited to monosaccharides such as fructose, mannose, xylose and arabinose; oligosaccharides such as lactose maltose, galactose, or sucrose; polysaccharides such as starch or cellulose or mixtures thereof and unpurified mixtures from renewable feedstocks such as cheese whey permeate cornsteep liquor, sugar beet molasses, and barley malt. Other carbon substrates may include glycerol, acetate and/or ethanol.

[0162] Hence, it is contemplated that the source of carbon utilized in the present invention may encompass a wide variety of carbon containing substrates and will only be limited by the choice of cell, and in particular of yeast.

[0163] Although it is contemplated that all of the above-mentioned carbon substrates and mixtures thereof are suitable in the present invention, preferred carbon substrates are glucose, fructose, and sucrose, or mixtures of these with C5 sugars such as xylose and/or arabinose for cells, and in particular yeasts, modified to use C5 sugars, and more particularly glucose.

[0164] Preferred carbon substrates are glucose or sucrose.

[0165] In addition to an appropriate carbon source, fermentation media may contain suitable minerals, salts, cofactors, buffers and other components, known to those skilled in the art, suitable for the growth of the cultures and promotion of the enzymatic pathway necessary for the production of the desired product.

[0166] Besides, additional genetic modifications suitable for the growth of recombinant cells according to the invention may be considered.

[0167] The terms Aerobic conditions refers to concentrations of oxygen in the culture medium that are sufficient for an aerobic or facultative anaerobic cell, and in particular yeast, to use di-oxygene as a terminal electron acceptor.

[0168] Microaerobic condition refers to a culture medium in which the concentration of oxygen is less than that in air, i.e. oxygen concentration up to 6% O.sub.2.

[0169] An appropriate culture medium designates a medium (e.g. a sterile, liquid medium) comprising nutrients essential or beneficial to the maintenance and/or growth of the cell such as carbon sources or carbon substrate, nitrogen sources, for example, peptone, yeast extracts, meat extracts, malt extracts, urea, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate and ammonium phosphate; phosphorus sources, for example, monopotassium phosphate or dipotassium phosphate; trace elements (e.g., metal salts), for example magnesium salts, cobalt salts and/or manganese salts; as well as growth factors such as amino acids, vitamins, growth promoters, and the like. The term carbon source or carbon substrate or source of carbon according to the present invention denotes any source of carbon that can be used by those skilled in the art to support the normal growth of a cell, including hexoses (such as glucose, galactose or lactose), pentoses, monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, disaccharides (such as sucrose, cellobiose or maltose), molasses, starch or its derivatives, cellulose, hemicelluloses and combinations thereof.

[0170] Culture mediums that are particularly appropriate to produce recombinant cells of the invention, and in particular recombinant yeasts of the invention, are described further below in the text.

General Features of Genetic Modifications Introduced According to the Invention

[0177] All the genome modifications are inserted in recombinant cells, and in particular recombinant yeasts, according to known genetic engineering techniques: [0178] The successive nucleic acid sequences included in a gene construct that is introduced in the recombinant cell genome according to the invention are of the following structure:

[0179] Prom.sub.1-ORF.sub.1-term.sub.1-ORF.sub.2-gene.sub.2-term.sub.2- . . . / . . . -Prom.sub.n-ORF.sub.n-term.sub.n, wherein: [0180] Prom1 is a sequence regulating the expression of the coding sequence ORF1, [0181] ORF1 is a nucleic acid sequence encoding a desired protein PROT1, and especially a desired enzyme PROT1, [0182] Term1 is a transcription terminator sequence that mediates transcriptional termination by providing signals in the newly synthesized mRNA that trigger processes which release the mRNA from the transcriptional complex, and [0183] 1, 2, . . . / . . . n may or may not describe the same ORF (Open Reading Frame), promoter or terminator. The order of the nucleic acid sequences does not matter. n is an integer usually ranging from 5 and 20. These constructs are inserted in one of the recombinant cell chromosome at a controlled location. In some embodiments, the insertion site is neither essential for the functionality of the inserted construct, nor for the viability of the resulting genetically modified cell.

[0184] As will be understood by those of skill in the art, it can be advantageous to modify a coding sequence to enhance its expression in a particular host. The genetic code is redundant with 64 possible codons, but most organisms typically use a subset of these codons. The codons that are utilized most often in a species are called optimal codons, and those not utilized very often are classified as rare or low-usage codons. Codons can be substituted to reflect the preferred codon usage of the host, in a process sometimes called codon optimization orcontrolling for species codon bias. Codon optimization for other host cells can be readily determined using codon usage tables or can be performed using commercially available software, such as CodonOp (www.idtdna.com/CodonOptfrom) from Integrated DNA Technologies. Optimized coding sequences containing codons preferred by a particular prokaryotic or eukaryotic host (Murray et al, 1989, Nucl Acids Res. 17: 477-508) can be prepared, for example, to increase the rate of translation or to produce recombinant RNA transcripts having desirable properties, such as a longer half-life, as compared with transcripts produced from a non-optimized sequence. Translation stop codons can also be modified to reflect host preference. For example, typical stop codons for S. cerevisiae and mammals are UAA and UGA, respectively. The typical stop codon for monocotyledonous plants is UGA, whereas insects and E. coli commonly use UAA as the stop codon (Dalphin et al, 1996, Nucl Acids Res. 24: 216-8). [0185] When the recombinant cell is a yeast cell, and in particular is Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cell, nucleic acid sequences introduced in the yeast genome and originating from other organisms than Saccharomyces cerevisiae are generally transcoded (generally codon-optimized), meaning that these nucleic acid sequences are synthesized with an optimal codon usage for expression in S. cerevisiae. The nucleotide sequence (and not the protein sequence) of some nucleic acid sequences from S. cerevisiae has also been modified (transcoded) to minimize recombination with an endogenous copy of the said gene. [0186] Genes may be deleted through standard procedures used in cell genetic engineering. In some embodiments, the genes targeted for deletion may be interrupted by insertion of one of the above described gene constructs, or alternatively the genes targeted for deletion are replaced by a short stretch of nucleotide. [0187] A nucleic acid sequence may be rendered inducible or repressible by deleting an endogenous copy of the nucleic acid sequences (if necessary) and placing a new copy of the ORF under the control of an inducible or repressible promoter. An inducible or repressible promoter is a promoter which activity is modulated or controlled, i.e. either increased or decreased upon a change in the environmental conditions or external stimuli. Induction or repression may be artificially controlled, which encompasses induction or repression by abiotic factors such as chemical compounds not found naturally in the cell, and in particular yeast, of interest, light, oxygen levels, heat or cold. A list and sequences of inducible or repressible promoters are described elsewhere in the present specification.

Recombinant Cells According to the Invention

[0188] The inventors have conceived recombinant cells, in particular recombinant yeasts, having an ability of producing chondroitin.

[0189] The present invention relates to recombinant cells, and in particular recombinant yeasts having the ability to produce chondroitin, and wherein this ability to produce chondroitin is obtained through a plurality of alterations that have been introduced in the genome thereof, by genetic engineering methods.

[0190] This present invention pertains to a recombinant yeast cell producing chondroitin wherein the recombinant cell comprises: [0191] (a) one or more recombinant nucleic acids encoding a polypeptide having a chondroitin synthase (HCOS) activity; [0192] (b) one or more recombinant nucleic acids encoding a polypeptide having UDP-Glucose dehydrogenase (UDP-GlcDH or HASB) activity; and [0193] (c) one or more recombinant nucleic acids encoding a polypeptide having a UDP-glucose-4-epimerase (kfoA or GNE1) activity.

[0194] The present invention further relates to a recombinant host cell producing chondroitin wherein the recombinant host cell comprises: [0195] (a) one or more recombinant nucleic acids encoding a polypeptide having a chondroitin synthase (HCOS) activity; [0196] (b) one or more recombinant nucleic acids encoding a polypeptide having UDP-Glucose dehydrogenase (UDP-GlcDH or HASB) activity; [0197] (c) one or more recombinant nucleic acids encoding a polypeptide having a UDP-glucose-4-epimerase (kfoA or GNE1) activity; and [0198] (d) one or more recombinant nucleic acids encoding a polypeptide having a chondroitinase activity wherein the polypeptide having chondroitinase activity comprises a secretion signal, and optionally an anchoring signal, so that chondroitin, in particular of a desired molecular weight is produced by the host cell.

[0199] The inventors have found that an ability to produce chondroitin by cells, and in particular by yeast cells, may be reached by introducing in the genome of these cells a plurality of genetic alterations.

[0200] The production of chondroitin by cells of the invention, and in particular by yeast cells of the invention, has been achieved by optimizing the endogenous metabolism of UDP-Glucose and UDP-N-Acetyl-glucosamine and direct the subsequent artificially modified metabolic pathway mainly towards chondroitin production whereas in the same time maintaining an optimal viability of the resulting genetically modified cells.

[0201] It has been determined that a chondroitin production by recombinant cells according to the invention may be increased by increasing the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate into the successive intermediate metabolites (i) glucose-1-phosphate, UDP-glucose, UDP-glucuronate and chondroitin or (ii) fructose-6-phosphate, glucosamine-6-phosphate, N-acetyl-glucosamine-6-phosphate, N-acetyl-glucosamine-1-phosphate, UDP-N-acetyl-glucosamine, UDP-N-acetyl-galactosamine and chondroitin, while maintaining a metabolic balance allowing a good viability of the resulting recombinant cells.

[0202] Indeed, in order to obtain a viable recombinant cell of the invention, many different constructs were tested in order to obtain a viable and efficient recombinant cell, and in particular a viable recombinant yeast. In particular such recombinant yeasts were difficult to obtain because the temporary accumulation of some intermediates appeared to be toxic for yeasts.

[0203] Unexpected technical difficulties were encountered in establishing the conditions suitable for the preparation of a recombinant cell able to produce chondroitin, and in particular to produce chondroitin with a controlled molecular weight.

[0204] Indeed, after much research and experimental trial, the inventors discovered that it was possible to cultivate a recombinant cell, and in particular a recombinant yeast cell, more particularly a recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cell, able to produce chondroitin having a controlled molecular weight controlled using the following parameters: [0205] the selection of the nature and origin of the nucleic acid sequences encoding the polypeptide having chondroitinase activity of the recombinant cell, in particular the recombinant yeast, of the invention; and/or [0206] the nature and origin of the promoter controlling the expression of the nucleic acid sequences encoding the polypeptide having chondroitinase activity of the recombinant cell, in particular the recombinant yeast, of the invention; and/or [0207] the optional presence of an anchoring signal, in addition to a secretion signal, associated to the encoded polypeptide having chondroitinase activity of the recombinant cell, in particular the recombinant yeast, according to the invention; and/or [0208] the pH of the cultivation medium during the step of culturing the recombinant cell, in particular the recombinant yeast, according to the invention; and/or [0209] the duration of the culturing of the recombinant cell, in particular the recombinant yeast, according to the invention.

[0632] Promoters more particularly interesting in the present invention may be selected from the group consisting of: [0633] pTDH3 (SEQ ID NO: 87) [0634] pTDH3.Sk (SEQ ID NO: 88) [0635] pTDH3-1.Sba (SEQ ID NO: 89) [0636] pTDH3.Sar (SEQ ID NO: 90), [0637] pENO2 (SEQ ID NO: 91), [0638] pTEF3 (SEQ ID NO: 92), [0639] pTEF1 (SEQ ID NO: 93), [0640] pTEF1.Ago (SEQ ID NO: 94), [0641] pTEF1.sba (SEQ ID NO: 95), [0642] pPDC1 (SEQ ID NO: 96), [0643] pCCW12 (SEQ ID NO: 97), [0644] pCCW12.sba (SEQ ID NO: 100) [0645] pCCW120.Sm (SEQ ID NO: 106), [0646] pNUP57 (SEQ ID NO: 102), [0647] pCCW10.ago (SEQ ID NO: 103), [0648] pCWP2 (SEQ ID NO: 104), and [0649] pFBA1 (SEQ ID NO: 105)

[0656] As previously mentioned, inducible or repressible promoters are promoters whose activity is controlled by the presence or absence of biotic or abiotic factors and also by the quantity of said factor. Accordingly, for some promoters, their activity will in particular be induced and thus increased when the quantity of a given factor increases or is increased, and, accordingly, the activity of these same promoters can be repressed and thus reduced when the quantity of said factor diminishes or is reduced. The quantity of said factor(s) in the culture medium of a recombinant yeast cell of the invention comprising inducible or repressible promoters can be decided and thus controlled by the man skilled in the art.

[0657] For example, increasing the quantity of copper in a culture medium of a recombinant yeast cell according to the invention comprising a pCUP1 promoter will induce and thus increase transcription of the gene under the control of this promoter. On the contrary, reducing the quantity of copper in said culture medium will lead to a repression, and thus a reduced, transcription of the gene under the control of this promoter.

[0658] In another example, increasing the quantity of methionine in a culture medium of a recombinant yeast cell according to the invention comprising a pMET6 promoter will repress and thus decrease transcription of the gene under the control of this promoter. On the contrary, reducing the quantity of methionine in said culture medium will lead to an induced, and thus an increased, transcription of the gene under the control of this promoter.

[0659] For this reason, the following promoters are referred to in the present text as being inducible or repressible promoters.

[0660] According to a first embodiment, inducible or repressible promoters according to the invention may be selected from the group comprising promoters inducible or repressible with copper, promoters inducible or repressible with methionine and promoters inducible or repressible with threonine, and are in particular CUP-1copper inducible or repressible.

[0661] According to this embodiment, the inducible or repressible promoter according to the invention can in particular be pCUP1 (SEQ ID NO: 107).

[0662] The activity of these promoters is thus induced by the increasing presence of methionine, copper or threonine as indicated above, and their activity diminishes, i.e. is repressed, when the quantity of methionine, copper or threonine is reduced.

[0663] According to a second embodiment, inducible or repressible promoters according to the invention may be selected from the group comprising promoters inducible or repressible with copper, promoters inducible or repressible with lysine and promoters inducible or repressible with methionine, and in particular selected from the group consisting of: [0664] pMET6methionine inducible or repressible (SEQ ID NO: 108), [0665] pMET25methionine inducible or repressible (SEQ ID NO: 109), and [0666] pSAM1methionine inducible or repressible (SEQ ID NO: 110).

[0667] According to this particular embodiment, the inducible or repressible promoter according to the invention may, be selected from the group consisting of pMET6 and pSAM1.

[0668] The activity of these promoters is thus repressed by the increasing presence of methionine, copper, lysine or glucose as indicated above, and their activity increases, i.e. is induced, when the quantity of methionine, copper, lysine or glucose is reduced.

[0669] In a particular embodiment, inducible or repressible promoters according to the invention may be selected from the group comprising promoters inducible or repressible with copper, promoters inducible or repressible with glucose, promoters inducible or repressible with lysine, promoters inducible or repressible with methionine and promoters inducible or repressible with threonine.

[0724] Methods implemented to insert a specific DNA construct within a gene belong to the general knowledge of a man skilled in the art. A related method is described in more details in the herein after examples.

[0725] However, unexpected technical difficulties were encountered because the consequences of the insertion of DNA constructs within the genome of a cell, and in particular within the genome of a yeast, such as for example in the genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are unpredictable. In particular, the survival rate of the cells, and in particular of the yeasts, and their ability to grow and produce the desired chondroitin is also unpredictable.

[0726] In order to obtain a recombinant cell, and in particular a recombinant yeast of the invention, many different constructs were tested by the inventors in order to obtain a viable and efficient recombinant cell, and in particular yeast.

Culture Conditions

[0727] The present invention also relates to the use of a recombinant cell of the invention, for the production of chondroitin, in particular of chondroitin of controlled molecular weight.

[0728] The present invention further relates to a method of producing chondroitin of a desired molecular weight, comprising: [0729] (a) cultivating a recombinant cell as defined herein in a cultivation medium for a time sufficient to produce chondroitin of the desired molecular weight; and [0730] (b) optionally isolating or recovering the chondroitin from the recombinant cell and/or from the cultivation medium. Typically, cells of the invention, and in particular yeasts of the invention, are grown at a temperature in the range of about 20 C. to about 37 C., preferably at a temperature ranging from 27 to 34 C., in an appropriate culture medium.

[0731] Suitable growth media for cells of the invention, and in particular for yeasts of the invention, are common commercially prepared media such as broth that includes yeast nitrogen base, ammonium sulfate, and dextrose as the carbon/energy source or YPD Medium, a blend of peptone, yeast extract, and dextrose in optimal proportions for growing most. Other defined or synthetic growth media may also be used and the appropriate medium for growth of the particular cell, and in particular yeast, will be known by one skilled in the art of microbiology or fermentation science.

[0732] A particular medium that is suitable herein is the SY medium which comprises the following elements: [0733] KH2PO4: 100 mM; MgSO4 7H2O: 2.8 mM; K2SO4: 11.5 mM; Na2SO4: [0734] 1.1 mM; NaCl: 2.6 mM; CaCl.sub.2) 2H2O: 0.7 mM; CuSO4 5H2O: 15 M; KI: 6 M; FeCl3: 30 M; ZnSO4 7H2O: 61 M; MnSO4 H2O: 25 M; H2SO4: 110 M; Panthotenic Acids hemicalcium salt: 42 M; Thiamin hydrochloride: 59 M; Pyridoxin hydrochloride: 49 M; Myo-Inositol (C6H1206): 555 M; Nicotinic acid (C6H5NO2): 29 M; D-Biotine: [0735] 0.82 M; Ammonium citrate tribasic: 33 mM; and glucose or sucrose 2-30%.

[0736] Carbon sources that may be used in the culture medium include fructose, mannose, xylose and arabinose; oligosaccharides such as lactose, maltose, galactose, or sucrose; polysaccharides such as starch or cellulose or mixtures thereof; and unpurified mixtures from renewable feedstocks such as cheese whey permeate cornsteep liquor, sugar beet molasses, and barley malt.

[0737] Nitrogen sources that may be included in the culture medium include peptone, yeast extracts, meat extracts, malt extracts, urea, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium citrate and combinations thereof.

[0738] The culture medium may further comprise trace elements (e.g., metal salts), for example magnesium salts, cobalt salts and/or manganese salts; as well as growth factors such as amino acids, vitamins, growth promoters, and the like.

[0739] Examples of vitamins that may be included are Panthotenic Acids hemicalcium, Thiamin hydrochloride; Pyridoxin hydrochloride; Myo-Inositol; Nicotinic acid; D-Biotine, folic acid, p-aminobenzoique acid, riboflavin.

[0740] A culture medium of the invention may further include rare elements, such as CuSO.sub.4.Math.5H.sub.2O, KI, FeCl.sub.3, ZnSO.sub.4.Math.7H.sub.2O, MnSO.sub.4.Math.H.sub.2O, or H.sub.2SO.sub.4, MgCl2, CaCl2, NaCl, K2HPO4, KH2PO4, ZnCl, H3BO3, MnSO4, Na2MoO4.

[0741] The term appropriate culture medium is above-defined.

[0742] Examples of known culture media for a recombinant cell according to the present invention are known to the person skilled in the art, and are presented in the following publication D. Burke et al., Methods in yeast GeneticsA cold spring harbor laboratory course Manual (2000).

[0743] Suitable pH ranges for the fermentation may be between pH 3.0 to pH 7.5, where pH 4 to pH 6 is preferred as the initial condition.

[0744] As mentioned elsewhere in this specification, the pH value of the culture medium can be regulated during the cultivation step of a method of the invention in order to modulate the activity of the polypeptide having chondroitin activity, which will impact the molecular weight of the chondroitin molecules produced by the recombinant cell of the invention, and in particular by the recombinant yeast of the invention.

[0745] In particular, the pH of the culture medium can be modified according to the chondroitin that is meant to be produced by the recombinant yeast. For example, the pH of the culture medium may remain at a pH of 4, of 5.5 or of 6 during the culture time.

[0746] In a particular embodiment, the pH of the culture medium may change or be changed during the time length of the culture of the recombinant cell of the invention, in particular of the recombinant yeast of the invention. As previously mentioned, Saccharomyces cerevisiae acidifies the medium in which it is cultivated and thus reduces the pH of its culture medium. For example, the pH of the culture medium may begin at 6, may be taken down to 4 and then brought back up to 6. In another example, the pH of the culture medium may begin at 6, remain or be maintained at 6, and then may be lowered to 4.

[0747] In a particular embodiment, the pH of the culture medium may be modulated during the cultivating step (a) of a method of the invention so that at the end of the cultivating step of a method of the invention, the pH of the cultivation medium is the same as the pH at the beginning of said cultivation step (a).

[0748] In another embodiment, the pH of the culture medium may remain the same during the time length of the culture of the recombinant cell of the invention, and in particular the recombinant yeast cell of the invention.

[0749] Said time length of the culture of a recombinant cell according to the invention, and in particular of the recombinant yeast of the invention, can vary depending on the molecular weight of the chondroitin of interest. The longer said time length, the lower the molecular weight of chondroitin in a given culture medium of a recombinant cell of the invention, and in particular a recombinant yeast cell of the invention.

[0750] The time length of the culture time of a recombinant cell of the invention, and in particular a recombinant yeast cell in the present invention can be a period of from about 35 hours to about 50 hours, preferably from about 40 hours to about 50 hours, and is in particular about 48 hours.

[0751] Fermentations may be performed under aerobic conditions or micro-aerobic conditions.

[0752] The amount of chondroitin product in the fermentation medium can be determined using a number of methods known in the art, for example, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography (GC).

[0753] The present process may employ a batch method of fermentation. A classical batch fermentation is a closed system where the composition of the medium is set at the beginning of the fermentation and not subject to artificial alterations during the fermentation. Thus, at the beginning of the fermentation, the medium is inoculated with the desired organism or organisms, and fermentation is permitted to occur without adding anything to the system. Typically, however, a batch fermentation method or system is batch with respect to the addition of carbon source and attempts are often made at controlling factors such as temperature, pH and oxygen concentration. In batch systems, the metabolite and biomass compositions of the system change constantly up to the time when the fermentation is stopped. Within batch cultures cells progress through a static lag phase to a high growth log phase and finally to a stationary phase where growth rate is diminished or halted. If untreated, cells in the stationary phase will eventually die. Cells in log phase generally are responsible for the bulk of production of end product or intermediate.

[0754] A Fed-Batch system may also be used in the present invention. A Fed-Batch system is similar to a typical batch system with the exception that the carbon source substrate is added in increments as the fermentation progresses. Fed-Batch systems are useful when catabolite repression (e.g. glucose repression) is apt to inhibit the metabolism of the cells and where it is desirable to have limited amounts of substrate in the media. Measurement of the actual substrate concentration in Fed-Batch systems is difficult and is therefore estimated on the basis of the changes of measurable factors such as pH, dissolved oxygen and the partial pressure of waste gases such as CO.sub.2.

[0755] Batch and Fed-Batch culturing methods are common and well known in the art and examples may be found in Biotechnology: A Textbook of Industrial Microbiology, Crueger, Crueger, and Brock, Second Edition (1989) Sinauer Associates, Inc., Sunderland, MA, or Deshpande, Mukund V., Appl. Biochem. Biotechnol., 36, 227, (1992). Although the present invention is performed in batch mode it is contemplated that the method would be adaptable to continuous fermentation.

[0756] Continuous fermentation is an open system where a defined fermentation medium is added continuously to a bioreactor and an equal amount of conditioned media is removed simultaneously for processing. Continuous fermentation generally maintains the cultures at a constant high density where cells are primarily in log phase growth.

[0757] Continuous fermentation allows for the modulation of one factor or any number of factors that affect cell growth or end product concentration. For example, one method will maintain a limiting nutrient such as the carbon source or nitrogen level at a fixed rate and allow all other parameters to vary. In other systems a number of factors affecting growth can be altered continuously while the cell concentration, measured by media turbidity, is kept constant. Continuous systems strive to maintain steady state growth conditions and thus the cell loss due to the medium being drawn off must be balanced against the cell growth rate in the fermentation. Methods of modulating nutrients and growth factors for continuous fermentation processes as well as techniques for maximizing the rate of product formation are well known in the art of industrial microbiology.

[0758] It is contemplated that the present invention may be practiced using either batch, fed-batch or continuous processes and that any known mode of fermentation would be suitable. Additionally, it is contemplated that cells may be immobilized on a substrate as whole cell catalysts and subjected to fermentation conditions for production.

[0759] In order to still improve the chondroitin production, a particular embodiment may consist of culturing the recombinant cells of the invention, in particular the recombinant yeast cells of the invention, in an appropriate culture medium, such as above-mentioned, wherein the said culture medium comprises an optimal amount of carbon source, especially glucose or sucrose.

[0832] By pharmaceutically/veterinary/cosmetically acceptable we mean that the additional components of the composition are generally safe, non-toxic, and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable. For example, the additional components may be generally sterile and pyrogen free. Such components must be acceptable in the sense of being compatible with the composition of the invention and not deleterious to the recipients thereof. Thus, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients includes any compound(s) used in forming a part of the formulation that is intended to act merely as an excipient, i.e. not intended to have biological activity itself.

[0833] The nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, veterinary, oenological or cosmetic formulation/product may be in the form of a liquid or a solid.

[0834] Liquid dosage formulations/products for oral administration include solutions, emulsions, aqueous or oily suspensions, syrups and elixirs.

[0835] Formulations and products (e.g. pharmaceutical, veterinary or cosmetic formulations/products) described herein, such as those intended for oral administration, may be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art, such as by mixing the components of the formulation/product together.

[0836] The formulation or product (e.g. pharmaceutical, veterinary or cosmetic formulation/product) may contain one or more additional ingredients, such as pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients, such as sweetening agents, flavouring agents, colouring agents and preserving agents.

[0837] The formulation or product (e.g. pharmaceutical, veterinary or cosmetic formulation/product) may also contain one or more additional active ingredients, such as cosmetic or pharmaceutical active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, Centella asiatica extract, peptides such as Matrixyl and Argireline, and mixtures thereof.

[0838] The formulation or product of the invention may contain the active ingredient(s) in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients (or ingredients). These excipients (or ingredients) may, for example, be: inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, maltodextrin or alginic acid; binding agents, for example, starch, gelatine or acacia; or lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid, talc and mixtures thereof.

[0839] Liquid formulations or products (e.g. pharmaceutical, veterinary or cosmetic formulations/products) may be contained within a capsule, which may be uncoated or coated as defined above.

[0840] Suitable pharmaceutical or veterinary carriers include inert solid diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous solutions and various organic solvents. Examples of liquid carriers are syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, phospholipids, fatty acids, fatty acid amines, polyoxyethylene and water.

[0841] Moreover, the carrier or diluent may include any sustained release material known in the art, such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, alone or mixed with a wax.

[0842] Suitable pharmaceutical carriers include inert sterile aqueous solutions and various organic solvents. Examples of liquid carriers are syrup, vegetables oils, phospholipids, fatty acids, fatty acid amines, polyoxyethylene and water. Moreover, the carrier or diluent may include any sustained release material known in the art, such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, alone or mixed with a wax.

[0843] Suitable cosmetic carriers are typically those that are suitable for topical administration to the outer surface of the human body, such as the skin and/or hair and/or scalp.

[0844] Typically, such carriers are dermatologically acceptable.

[0845] The phrase dermatologically acceptable carrier means that the carrier is suitable for topical application to the keratinous tissue, has good aesthetic properties, is compatible with the actives in the composition, and will not cause any unreasonable safety or toxicity concerns.

[0846] The carrier can be in a wide variety of forms. In some instances, the solubility or dispersibility of the components (e.g. extracts, sunscreen active, additional components) may dictate the form and character of the carrier. Non-limiting examples include simple solutions (e.g. aqueous or anhydrous), dispersions, emulsions, and solid forms (e.g. gels, sticks, flowable solids, or amorphous materials).

[0847] The dermatologically acceptable carrier may be in the form of an emulsion. An emulsion may be generally classified as having a continuous aqueous phase (e.g. oil-in-water and water-in-oil-in-water) or a continuous oil phase (e.g. water-in-oil or oil-in-water). The oil phase of the present invention may comprise silicone oils, non-silicone oils such as hydrocarbon oils, esters, ethers, and the like, and mixtures thereof. The aqueous phase typically comprises water and water-soluble ingredients (e.g. water-soluble moisturizing agents, conditioning agents, anti-microbials, humectants and/or other skin care actives). However, in some instances, the aqueous phase may comprise components other than water, including but not limited to watersoluble moisturizing agents, conditioning agents, antimicrobials, humectants and/or other watersoluble skin care actives. In some instances, the non-water component of the composition comprises a humectant, such as glycerin and/or other polyol(s). Emulsions may also contain an emulsifier. Emulsifiers may be non-ionic, anionic or cationic.

[0848] The carrier may contain one or more dermatologically acceptable, hydrophilic diluents. As used herein, diluent includes materials in which the composition of the invention can be dispersed, dissolved, or otherwise incorporated. Hydrophilic diluents include water, organic hydrophilic diluents, such as lower monovalent alcohols (e.g., C1-C4), and low molecular weight glycols and polyols, including propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, glycerol, butylene glycol, 1,2,4-butanetriol, sorbitol esters, 1,2,6-hexanetriol, ethanol, isopropanol, sorbitol esters, butanediol, ether propanol, ethoxylated ethers, propoxylated ethers and combinations thereof.

[0849] The cosmetic formulation/product may optionally include one or more additional ingredients commonly used in cosmetic compositions (e.g., colorants, skin tone agents, skin anti-aging agents, anti-inflammatory agents, sunscreen agents, combinations of these and the like), provided that the additional ingredients do not undesirably alter the anti-glycation benefits provided by the composition.

[0850] In some instances, it may be desirable to select skin tone agents that function via different biological pathways so that the actives do not interfere with one another, which could reduce the efficacy of both agents. The additional ingredients, when incorporated into the composition, should be suitable for use in contact with human skin tissue without undue toxicity, incompatibility, instability, allergic response, and the like.

[0851] The term carrier as used herein, may also refer to a natural product or a product originating from nature that has been transformed or modified so that it is distinct from the natural product from which it originated, such as maltodextrin.

[0852] The amount of the composition of the invention present in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, veterinary, oenological or cosmetic formulations or products will vary depending on the application.

[0853] Typically, the amount of composition of the invention that may be present in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, veterinary, oenological or cosmetic formulations or products will be from about 0.001 to about 50% by weight, such as from about 0.01% to about 30% or from about 1% to about 20% of the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, veterinary, oenological or cosmetic formulations or products, such as from about 0.01 to about 20%, or from about 0.1 to 10% or from about 1 to about 5% by weight of the formulation or product.

[0854] Those of skill in the art will recognize that, due to the degenerate nature of the genetic code, a variety of DNA molecules differing in their nucleotide sequences can be used to encode a given enzyme of the disclosure. The native DNA sequence encoding the biosynthetic enzymes described above are referenced herein merely to illustrate an embodiment of the disclosure, and the disclosure includes DNA molecules of any sequence that encode the amino acid sequences of the polypeptides and proteins of the enzymes utilized in the methods of the disclosure. In similar fashion, a polypeptide can typically tolerate one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, and insertions in its amino acid sequence without loss or significant loss of a desired activity. The disclosure includes such polypeptides with different amino acid sequences than the specific proteins described herein so long as the modified or variant polypeptides have the enzymatic anabolic or catabolic activity of the reference polypeptide. Furthermore, the amino acid sequences encoded by the DNA sequences shown herein merely illustrate embodiments of the disclosure.

[0855] Described herein are specific genes and proteins useful in the methods, compositions and organisms of the disclosure; however it will be recognized that absolute identity to such genes is not necessary. For example, changes in a particular gene or polynucleotide comprising a sequence encoding a polypeptide or enzyme can be performed and screened for activity. Typically such changes comprise conservative mutations and silent mutations. Such modified or mutated polynucleotides and polypeptides can be screened for expression of a functional enzyme using methods known in the art.

[0856] Due to the inherent degeneracy of the genetic code, other polynucleotides which encode substantially the same or functionally equivalent polypeptides can also be used to clone and express the polynucleotides encoding such enzymes

[0857] Techniques known to those skilled in the art may be suitable to identify additional homologous genes and homologous enzymes. Generally, analogous genes and/or analogous enzymes can be identified by functional analysis and will have functional similarities.

[0858] Techniques known to those skilled in the art may be suitable to identify analogous genes and analogous enzymes or any biosynthetic pathway genes, proteins, or enzymes, techniques may include, but are not limited to, cloning a gene by PCR using primers based on a published sequence of a gene/enzyme of interest, or by degenerate PCR using degenerate primers designed to amplify a conserved region among a gene of interest. Further, one skilled in the art can use techniques to identify homologous or analogous genes, proteins, or enzymes with functional homology or similarity. Techniques include examining a cell or cell culture for the catalytic activity of an enzyme through in vitro enzyme assays for said activity (e.g. as described herein or in Kiritani, K., Branched-Chain Amino Acids Methods Enzymology, 1970), then isolating the enzyme with said activity through purification, determining the protein sequence of the enzyme through techniques such as Edman degradation, design of PCR primers to the likely nucleic acid sequence, amplification of said DNA sequence through PCR, and cloning of said nucleic acid sequence. To identify homologous or similar genes and/or homologous or similar enzymes, analogous genes and/or analogous enzymes or proteins, techniques also include comparison of data concerning a candidate gene or enzyme with databases such as BRENDA, KEGG, or MetaCYC. The candidate gene or enzyme may be identified within the above mentioned databases in accordance with the teachings herein.

[0859] The terms between . . . and . . . and ranging from . . . to . . . should be understood as being inclusive of the limits, unless otherwise specified. Throughout this specification and the claims which follow, unless the context requires otherwise, the word comprise, and variations such as comprises, comprising and possesses, will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or step or group of integers or steps but not the exclusion of any other integer or step or group of integer or step. The term comprising also means including as well as consisting e.g. a composition comprising X may consist exclusively of X or may include something additional e.g. X+Y. It must be noted also that, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms a, an and the include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. By way of example, a reference to a gene or an enzyme is a reference to one or more genes or one or more enzymes.

[0860] It is to be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the particular methodology, protocols and reagents described herein as these may vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure which will be limited only by the appended claims. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by the person skilled in the art. In accordance with the present disclosure there may be conventional molecular biology, microbiology, and recombinant DNA techniques employed which are within the skill of the art.

[0861] This disclosure is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The disclosure is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways. Also, the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. Preferably, the terms used herein are defined as described in A multilingual glossary of biotechnological terms: (IUPAC Recommendations), Leuenberger, H. G. W, Nagel, B. and Kolbl, H. eds.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Protocol for Making a Recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strain According to the Invention

[0864] All the hereinafter implemented recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were constructed from standard strains using standard yeast molecular genetics procedure (Methods in yeast GeneticsA cold spring harbor laboratory course Manual (2000) by D. Burke, D. Dawson, T. Stearns CSHL Press).

[0865] Cluster of the following-mentioned genes were integrated in recombinant yeast at once using the ability of yeast to efficiently recombine free DNA ends which have sequence homology.

[0866] In addition, for a better comprehension of following genotypes: [0867] jlp1, his 3, leu2, sam3 and met14 are insertion sites. [0868] Lowercase letters mean that the considered gene is inactive, uppercase letters reflect an active gene. [0869] ::: following a gene name means that the gene is interrupted by what follows (if more than one gene are inserted, they are noted in brackets [ ]). The interruption of the gene is concomitant with an entire deletion of the coding sequence but preserves the promoter. In consequence the gene followed by :: is inactive and is noted in lowercase. If not specified the transcription of the gene inserted is controlled by the promoter of the disrupted gene. [0870] gene.Kl means that the gene originates from Kluyveromyces lactis. When nothing is indicated after a gene in the present examples, this means that the gene is from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

[0871] More particularly, the coding sequences to be cloned were artificially synthetized. For heterologous sequences (non-yeast), the nucleic sequences were modified in order to obtain a synonymous coding sequence using the yeast codon usage. Using restriction enzyme and classical cloning technology, each synthetic sequence was cloned in between a transcription promoter and a transcription terminator. Each promoter sequence is preceded by a 50 to 200 nucleotide sequence homologous to the sequence of the terminator of the upstream gene. Similarly, the terminator of each gene (a gene comprising the promoter-coding sequence-terminator) is followed by sequences homologous to the gene immediately following. So that each of the unit to be integrated have a 50-200 nucleotide overlap with both the unit upstream and the unit downstream. For the first unit, the promoter is preceded by 50-200 nucleotides homologous to the yeast chromosome nucleotide for the locus in which it will be integrated. Similarly, for the last unit, the terminator is followed by 50-200 nucleotides homologous to the yeast chromosome nucleotide for the locus in which it will be integrated.

[0872] Each unit is then PCR amplified from the plasmids constructs, yielding X unit of linear DNA having overlapping sequences. At least one of this gene is an auxotrophic marker, in order to select for recombination event. All the linear fragments are transformed in the yeast at once, and a recombinant yeast cell is selected for the auxotrophy related to the marker used.

[0873] The integrity of the sequence is then verified by PCR and sequencing.

Example 2: Comparative Examples for the Production of Chondroitin

[0874] Firstly, three recombinant strains are obtained: YA5809, YA5810 and YA5571.

[0875] Accordingly, these three strains are as follows: [0876] YA5809: MAT-, his3::[tRPL3-UGP1-pSAM1, pMET6-QRI1-tIDP1, HIS3]x5, jlp1::[LEU2.Sba-loxP, pTEF1.Sba-HASB.Vir-tRPL3.Sm, pTDH3.Sk-HASB-A.Vir-tTEF1.Sba, pTDH3-1.Sba-HCOS1-3.Pm-tRPL15A.Sm, pCCW12-KFOA.Pm-tRPL41B.Sba, pCCW120.Sm-KFOA.Pm-tRPL15A.Sba, pTEF1.Ago-GFA1.Vir-tRPL15A], leu2, met14::[TRP1.Sba-RS, pTDH3-PGM1-tIDP1, pCWP2-GNA1-tTPI1, pTEF1-PCM1-tRPL41B, pFBA1-UGP1-tRPL3, pTDH3-1.Sba-QRI1-tIDP1.Sba, pTEF1.Ago-GFA1-tRPL15A], trp1, ura3 [0877] YA5810: MAT-, his3::[tRPL3-UGP1-pSAM1, pMET6-QRI1-tIDP1, HIS3]x5, jlp1::[LEU2.Sba-loxP, pTEF1.Sba-HASB.Vir-tRPL3.Sm, pTDH3.Sk-HASB-A.Vir-tTEF1.Sba, pTDH3-1.Sba-HCOS1-3.Pm-tRPL15A.Sm, pCCW12-KFOA.Pm-tRPL41B.Sba, pCCW120.Sm-KFOA.Pm-tRPL15A.Sba, pTEF1.Ago-GFA1.Vir-tRPL15A], leu2, met14::[TRP1.Sba-RS, pTDH3-PGM1-tIDP1, pCWP2-GNA1-tTPI1, pTEF1-PCM1-tRPL41B, pFBA1-UGP1-tRPL3, pTDH3-1.Sba-QRI1-tIDP1.Sba], trp1, ura3 [0878] YA5571: MAT-, his3::[tRPL3-UGP1-pSAM1, pMET6-QRI1-tIDP1, HIS3]x5, jlp1::[LEU2.Sba-loxP, pTEF1.Sba-HASB.Vir-tRPL3.Sm, pTDH3.Sk-HASB-A.Vir-tTEF1.Sba, pTDH3-1.Sba-HCOS1-3.Pm-tRPL15A.Sm, pCCW12-KFOA.Pm-tRPL41B.Sba, pCCW120.Sm-KFOA.Pm-tRPL15A.Sba, pTEF1.Ago-GFA1.Vir-tRPL15A], leu2, trp1, ura3

[0879] HASB and HASB-A represent a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase activity. They differ from one another in that they are different reencoded versions of a nucleic acid sequence encoding the enzyme. HASB has the sequence SEQ ID NO: 36 and HASB-A has the sequence SEQ ID NO: 37. HCOS1-3.Pm represents a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having chondroitin synthase activity that is a nucleic acid comprising a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide having a Hyaluronan synthase activity and fragments of a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide having a chondroitin synthase activity. HCOS1-3.Pm has the sequence SEQ ID NO: 3.

[0880] These strains were incubated in 25 ml of SY medium supplemented with 2% glucose for 48 hours at 28 in Erlenmeyer flasks.

[0881] SY medium comprises the following elements: [0882] KH2PO4: 100 mM; MgSO4 7H2O: 2.8 mM; K2SO4: 11.5 mM; Na2SO4: [0883] 1.1 mM; NaCl: 2.6 mM; CaCl.sub.2) 2H2O: 0.7 mM; CuSO4 5H2O: 15 M; KI: 6 M; FeCl3: 30 M; ZnSO4 7H2O: 61 M; MnSO4 H2O: 25 M; H2SO4: 110 M; Panthotenic Acids hemicalcium salt: 42 M; Thiamin hydrochloride: 59 M; Pyridoxin hydrochloride: 49 M; Myo-Inositol (C6H1206): 555 M; Nicotinic acid (C6H5NO2): 29 M; D-Biotine: [0884] 0.82 M; Ammonium citrate tribasic: 33 mM; and glucose or sucrose 2-30%

[0885] Growth medium was recovered at 48 h hours and assayed for chondroitin content.

[0886] An aliquot of the supernatant was loaded and ran on a 0.5% agarose gel subsequently colored with bromophenol blue.

[0887] The amount of chondroitin present in the medium was evaluated by a colorimetric determination after treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid and carbazole (Bitter and Muir (1962) analytical biochemistry 4, 330-334).

[0888] The amounts obtained with these different strains are respectively: [0889] YA5809: 200 mg.Math.L.sup.1 [0890] YA5810: 200 mg.Math.L.sup.1 [0891] YA5571: 200 mg.Math.L.sup.1

[0892] In comparison, a native strain (Chrest et al. (2000) J Biol. Chem. 275: 14056-14063) from which the three other strains derive does not produce chondroitin.

It results from this experiment that a recombinant strain comprising the modifications according to the invention produces a greater amount of chondroitin when cultured in the same conditions as other strains not comprising all the genetic modifications according to the invention.

Example 3: Examples for the Production of Chondroitin of Controlled Molecular Weight

[0893] Next, two recombinant strains are obtained: YA5887 and 5902.

[0894] Accordingly, these two strains are as follows: [0895] YA5887: MAT-, his3, jlp1::[LEU2.K1, pCUP1-UGP1-tRPL3, pCUP1-QRI1-tIDP1, pPDC1-UGP1-tTPI1, pTDH3-QRI1-tMET25, pCCW12-HASB.At-tRPL15A], leu2::[TRP1.Sba, pCCW12.Sba-HYAL-3.Ts-tRPL15A], sam3::[HASB.Vir-tTEF1.Sba, pTDH3-1.Sba-HCOS1-3.Pm-tRPL3.Sba, pTDH3.Sar-HCOS1-3.Pm-tRPL15A.Sm, pCCW12-KFOA.Pm-tRPL41B.Sba, pCCW120.Sm-KFOA.Pm-tRPL15A.Sba, HIS3.Sba], trp1 [0896] YA5902: MAT-, his3 [pSAM1-UGP1-tRPL3, pMET6-QRI1-tIDP1, HIS3]x5, jlp1::[LEU2.K1, pCUP1-UGP1-tRPL3, pCUP1-QRI1-tIDP1, pPDC1-UGP1-tTPI1, pTDH3-QRI1-tMET25, pCCW12-HASB.At-tRPL15A], leu2::[TRP1.Sba, pCCW12.Sba-HYAL-3.Ts-tRPL15A], sam3::[LEU2.K1, pENO2-UGP1-tRPL3, pCWP2-GNA1-tTPI1, pTEF1-PCM1-tRPL41B, pTEF1.Sba-HASB.vir-tRPL3.Sm, pTDH3.Sk-HASB-A.Vir-tTEF1.Sba, pTDH3-1.Sba-HCOS1-3.Pm-tRPL15A.Sm, pCCW12-KFOA.Pm-tRPL15A.Sba, HIS3.Sba-loxP], trp1

[0898] HASB, HASB-A and HCOS-1.Pm are as defined above.

[0899] These strains were incubated in 25 ml of SY medium supplemented with 2% glucose for 48 hours at 28 in Erlenmeyer flasks.

[0900] Growth medium was recovered at 48 h hours and assayed for chondroitin content.

[0901] An aliquot of the supernatant was loaded and ran on a 0.5% agarose gel subsequently colored with bromophenol blue.

[0902] The amount of chondroitin present in the medium was evaluated by a colorimetric determination after treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid and carbazole (Bitter and Muir (1962) analytical biochemistry 4, 330-334).

[0906] In comparison, a native strain (Chrest et al. (2000) J Biol. Chem. 275: 14056-14063) from which the two other strains derive does not produce chondroitin.

[0907] It results from this experiment that a recombinant strain comprising the modifications according to the invention produces a greater amount of chondroitin when cultured in the same conditions as other strains not comprising all the genetic modifications according to the invention.

[0908] Moreover, these two strains led to the production, after 48 hours, of chondroitin having a molecular weight of less than 10 kDa.

[0909] Next, two toher recombinant strains are obtained: YA5888 and 5903.

[0913] HYAL-3.Ts, HASB, HASB-A and HCOS-1.Pm are as defined above.

[0914] These strains were incubated in 25 ml of SY medium supplemented with 2% glucose for 48 hours at 28 in Erlenmeyer flasks.

[0915] Growth medium was recovered at 48 h hours and assayed for chondroitin content.

[0916] An aliquot of the supernatant was loaded and ran on a 0.5% agarose gel subsequently colored with bromophenol blue.

[0917] The amount of chondroitin present in the medium was evaluated by a colorimetric determination after treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid and carbazole (Bitter and Muir (1962) analytical biochemistry 4, 330-334).

[0918] The amounts obtained with these different strains are respectively: [0919] YA5888: 600 mg.Math.L.sup.1 [0920] YA5903: 600 mg.Math.L.sup.1

[0921] In comparison, a native strain (Chrest et al. (2000) J Biol. Chem. 275: 14056-14063) from which the two other strains derive does not produce chondroitin.

[0922] It results from this experiment that a recombinant strain comprising the modifications according to the invention produces a greater amount of chondroitin when cultured in the same conditions as other strains not comprising all the genetic modifications according to the invention.

[0923] Moreover, these two strains led to the production, after 48 hours, of chondroitin having a molecular weight ranging from about 10 kDa to about 50 kDa.

3. Production of Chondroitin Having a Molecular Weight Comprised Between about 50 kDa and about 500 kDa

[0924] Next, two other recombinant strains are obtained: YA5889 and 5904.

[0925] Accordingly, these two strains are as follows: [0926] YA5889: MAT-a, his3, jlp1::[LEU2.K1, pCUP1-UGP1-tRPL3, pCUP1-QRI1-tIDP1, pPDC1-UGP1-tTPI1, pTDH3-QRI1-tMET25, pCCW12-HASB.At-tRPL15A], leu2::[TRP1.Sba, pNUP57-HYAL-3.Ts-tRPL15A], sam3::[HASB.Vir-tTEF1.Sba, pTDH3-1.Sba-HCOS1-3.Pm-tRPL3.Sba, pTDH3.Sar-HCOS1-3.Pm-tRPL15A.Sm, pCCW12-KFOA.Pm-tRPL41B.Sba, pCCW120.Sm-KFOA.Pm-tRPL15A.Sba, HIS3.Sba], trp1 [0927] YA5904: MAT-, his3 [pSAM1-UGP1-tRPL3, pMET6-QRI1-tIDP1, HIS3]x5, jlp1::[LEU2.K1, pCUP1-UGP1-tRPL3, pCUP1-QRI1-tIDP1, pPDC1-UGP1-tTPI1, pTDH3-QRI1-tMET25, pCCW12-HASB.At-tRPL15A], leu2::[TRP1.Sba, pNUP57-HYAL-3.Ts-tRPL15A], sam3::[LEU2.K1, pENO2-UGP1-tRPL3, pCWP2-GNA1-tTPI1, pTEF1-PCM1-tRPL41B, pTEF1.Sba-HASB.vir-tRPL3.Sm, pTDH3.Sk-HASB-A.Vir-tTEF1.Sba, pTDH3-1.Sba-HCOS1-3.Pm-tRPL15A.Sm, pCCW12-KFOA.Pm-tRPL15A.Sba, HIS3.Sba-loxP], trp1

[0928] HYAL-3.Ts, HASB, HASB-A and HCOS-1.Pm are as defined above.

[0929] These strains were incubated in 25 ml of SY medium supplemented with 2% glucose for 48 hours at 28 in Erlenmeyer flasks.

[0930] Growth medium was recovered at 48 h hours and assayed for chondroitin content.

[0931] An aliquot of the supernatant was loaded and ran on a 0.5% agarose gel subsequently colored with bromophenol blue.

[0932] The amount of chondroitin present in the medium was evaluated by a colorimetric determination after treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid and carbazole (Bitter and Muir (1962) analytical biochemistry 4, 330-334).

[0933] The amounts obtained with these different strains are respectively: [0934] YA5889: 600 mg.Math.L.sup.1 [0935] YA5904: 600 mg.Math.L.sup.1

[0936] In comparison, a native strain (Chrest et al. (2000) J Biol. Chem. 275: 14056-14063) from which the two other strains derive does not produce chondroitin.

[0937] It results from this experiment that a recombinant strain comprising the modifications according to the invention produces a greater amount of chondroitin when cultured in the same conditions as other strains not comprising all the genetic modifications according to the invention.

[0938] Moreover, these two strains led to the production, after 48 hours, of chondroitin having a molecular weight ranging from about 10 kDa to about 50 kDa.
