Field

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems and compositions for producing sweet tasting compounds, as well as compositions comprising the sweet tasting compounds.

The taste system provides sensory information about the chemical composition of the external world. Taste transduction is one of the most sophisticated forms of chemical- triggered sensation in animals. Signaling of taste is found throughout the animal kingdom, from simple metazoans to the most complex of vertebrates. Mammals are believed to have five basic taste modalities: sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and umami (the taste of monosodium glutamate, a.k.a. savory taste).

For centuries, various natural and unnatural compositions and/or compounds have been added to ingestible compositions, including foods and beverages, and/or orally administered medicinal compositions to improve their taste. Although it has long been known that there are only a few basic types of “tastes,” the biological and biochemical basis of taste perception was poorly understood, and most taste improving or taste modifying agents have been discovered largely by simple trial and error processes.

With respect to the sweet taste, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are health concerns on the rise globally, but are growing at alarming rates in the United States. Sugar and calories are key components that can be limited to render a positive nutritional effect on health. High-intensity sweeteners can provide the sweetness of sugar, with various taste qualities. Because they are many times sweeter than sugar, much less of the sweetener is required to replace the sugar. High-intensity sweeteners have a wide range of chemically distinct structures and hence possess varying properties, such as, without limitation, odor, flavor, mouthfeel, and aftertaste. These properties, particularly flavor and aftertaste, are well known to vary over the time of tasting, such that each temporal profile is sweetener-specific.

There has been significant recent progress in identifying useful natural flavoring agents, such as for example sweeteners such as sucrose, fructose, glucose, erythritol, isomalt, lactitol, mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol, certain known natural terpenoids, flavonoids, or protein sweeteners. See, e.g, Kinghom, et al., “Noncariogenic Intense Natural Sweeteners,” Med. Res. Rev. 18 (5) 347-360 (1998) (discussing discovered natural materials that are much more intensely sweet than common natural sweeteners such as sucrose, fructose, and the like.) Similarly, there has been recent progress in identifying and commercializing new artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame-K, cyclamate, sucralose, and the like. See, e.g., Ager, et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 37, 1802-1817 (1998). The entire contents of the references identified above are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Sweeteners such as saccharin and 6-methyl-1 ,2, 3-oxathiazin-4(3H)-one-2, 2-dioxide potassium salt (acesulfame potassium) are commonly characterized as having bitter and/or metallic aftertastes. Products prepared with 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid are claimed to display reduced undesirable aftertastes associated with sweeteners, and do so at concentrations below those concentrations at which their own tastes are perceptible. Also, high intensity sweeteners such as sucralose and aspartame are reported to have sweetness delivery problems, i.e., delayed onset and lingering of sweetness. See S. G. Wiet, et al., J. Food Sci., 58(3):599-602, 666 (1993).

There is a need for new sweetening compounds, sweet taste enhancers, and compositions containing such compounds and enhancers, having improved taste and delivery characteristics. In addition, there is a need for foods containing new sweetening compounds and/or sweet taste enhancers with such desirable characteristics. Mogrosides isolated from the fruits of Siraitia grosvenorii are one of the most potent triterpene glycoside sweeteners known. Also known as Luo Han Guo, or monk fruit, the extract from S. grosvenorii fruits have been historically used in China for medicinal purposes and as a herbal sweetener. The sweet potency of these higher glycosylated mogrosides make them great candidates as alternative sweeteners. In this invention, we describe enzymatic routes for production of a potent mogroside, Siamenoside I.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Definitions Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. All patents, applications, published applications, and other publications are incorporated by reference in their entirety. In the event that there is a plurality of definitions for a term herein, those in this section prevail unless stated otherwise.

“Solvate” refers to the compound formed by the interaction of a solvent and a compound described herein or salt thereof. Suitable solvates are physiologically acceptable solvates including hydrates.

A “sweetener”, “sweet flavoring agent”, “sweet flavor entity”, “sweet compound,” or “sweet tasting compound,” as used herein refers to a compound or physiologically acceptable salt thereof that elicits a detectable sweet flavor in a subject. A “sweet modifier,” as used herein refers to a compound or physiologically acceptable salt thereof that enhances, modifies, or improves the perception of sweetness.

As used herein, the term “operably linked” is used to describe the connection between regulatory elements and a gene or its coding region. Typically, gene expression is placed under the control of one or more regulatory elements, for example, without limitation, constitutive or inducible promoters, tissue-specific regulatory elements, and enhancers. A gene or coding region is said to be “operably linked to” or “operatively linked to” or “operably associated with” the regulatory elements, meaning that the gene or coding region is controlled or influenced by the regulatory element. For instance, a promoter is operably linked to a coding sequence if the promoter effects transcription or expression of the coding sequence.

The term “regulatory element” and “expression control element” are used interchangeably and refer to nucleic acid molecules that can influence the expression of an operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism. These terms are used broadly to and cover all elements that promote or regulate transcription, including promoters, enhancer sequences, response elements, protein recognition sites, inducible elements, protein binding sequences, 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs), transcriptional start sites, termination sequences, polyadenylation sequences, intrans, core elements required for basic interaction of RNA polymerase and transcription factors, upstream elements, enhancers, response elements {see, e.g., Lewin, “Genes V” (Oxford University Press, Oxford) pages 847-873), and any combination thereof. Exemplary regulatory elements in prokaryotes include promoters, operator sequences and a ribosome binding sites. Regulatory elements that are used in eukaryotic cells can include, without limitation, transcriptional and translational control sequences, such as promoters, enhancers, splicing signals, polyadenylation signals, terminators, protein degradation signals, internal ribosome-entry element (IRES), 2A sequences, and the like, that provide for and/or regulate expression of a coding sequence and/or production of an encoded polypeptide in a host cell. In some embodiments herein, the recombinant cell described herein comprises a genes operably linked to regulatory elements.

As used herein, 2A sequences or elements refer to small peptides introduced as a linker between two proteins, allowing autonomous intraribosomal self-processing of polyproteins ( See e.g., de Felipe. Genetic Vaccines and Ther. 2:13 (2004); deFelipe et al. Traffic 5:616-626 (2004)). These short peptides allow co-expression of multiple proteins from a single vector. Many 2A elements are known in the art. Examples of 2A sequences that can be used in the methods and system disclosed herein, without limitation, include 2A sequences from the foot-and-mouth disease virus (F2A), equine rhinitis A virus (E2A), Thosea asigna virus (T2A), and porcine teschovirus-1 (P2A) as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20070116690.

As used herein, the term “promoter” is a nucleotide sequence that permits binding of RNA polymerase and directs the transcription of a gene. Typically, a promoter is located in the 5’ non-coding region of a gene, proximal to the transcriptional start site of the gene. Sequence elements within promoters that function in the initiation of transcription are often characterized by consensus nucleotide sequences. Examples of promoters include, but are not limited to, promoters from bacteria, yeast, plants, viruses, and mammals (including humans). A promoter can be inducible, repressible, and/or constitutive. Inducible promoters initiate increased levels of transcription from DNA under their control in response to some change in culture conditions, such as a change in temperature.

As used herein, the term “enhancer” refers to a type of regulatory element that can increase the efficiency of transcription, regardless of the distance or orientation of the enhancer relative to the start site of transcription.

As used herein, the term “transgene” refers to any nucleotide or DNA sequence that is integrated into one or more chromosomes of a target cell by human intervention. In some embodiment, the transgene comprises a polynucleotide that encodes a protein of interest. The protein-encoding polynucleotide is generally operatively linked to other sequences that are useful for obtaining the desired expression of the gene of interest, such as transcriptional regulatory sequences. In some embodiments, the transgene can additionally comprise a nucleic acid or other molecule(s) that is used to mark the chromosome where it has integrated.

“Percent (%) sequence identity” with respect to polynucleotide or polypeptide sequences is used herein as the percentage of bases or amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the bases or amino acid residues in another sequence, after aligning the two sequences. Gaps can be introduced into the sequence alignment, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity. Conservative substitutions are not considered as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent (%) sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer methods and programs such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, FASTA (available in the Genetics Computing Group (GCG) package, from Madison, Wisconsin, USA), or Megalign (DNASTAR). Those of skill in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared.

For instance, percent (%) amino acid sequence identity values may be obtained by using the WU-BLAST-2 computer program described in, for example, Altschul et al., Methods in Enzymology, 1996, 266:460-480. Many search parameters in the WU-BLAST-2 computer program can be adjusted by those skilled in the art. For example, some of the adjustable parameters can be set with the following values: overlap span = 1 , overlap fraction = 0.125, word threshold (T) = 11 , and scoring matrix = BLOSUM62. When WU- BLAST-2 is used, a % amino acid sequence identity value is determined by dividing (a) the number of matching identical amino acid residues between the amino acid sequence of a first protein of interest and the amino acid sequence of a second protein of interest as determined by WU-BLAST-2 by (b) the total number of amino acid residues of the first protein of interest.

Percent amino acid sequence identity may also be determined using the sequence comparison program NCBI-BLAST2 described in, for example, Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 1997, 25:3389-3402. The NCBI-BLAST2 sequence comparison program may be downloaded from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov or otherwise obtained from the National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD. NCBI-BLAST2 uses several adjustable search parameters. The default values for some of those adjustable search parameters are, for example, unmask = yes, strand = all, expected occurrences = 10, minimum low complexity length = 15/5, multi-pass e-value = 0.01 , constant for multi-pass = 25, drop off for final gapped alignment = 25 and scoring matrix = BLOSUM62.

In situations where NCBI-BLAST2 is used for amino acid sequence comparisons, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows: 100 times the fraction X/Y, where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program NCBI-BLAST2 in that program’s alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A.

As used herein, “isolated” means that the indicated compound has been separated from its natural milieu, such that one or more other compounds or biological agents present with the compound in its natural state are no longer present.

As used herein, “purified” means that the indicated compound is present at a higher amount relative to other compounds typically found with the indicated compound (e.g., in its natural environment). In some embodiments, the relative amount of purified a purified compound is increased by greater than 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 120%, 150%, 200%, 300%, 400%, or 1000%. In some embodiments, a purified compound is present at a weight percent level greater than 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99%, or 99.5% relative to other compounds combined with the compound. In some embodiments, the siamenoside I produced from the embodiments herein is present at a weight percent level greater than 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99%, or 99.5% relative to other compounds combined with the compound after production.

“Purification” as described herein, can refer to the methods for extracting siamenoside I from the cell lysate and/or the supernatant, wherein the cell is excreting the product of siamenoside I. “Lysate” as described herein, comprises the cellular content of a cell after disruption of the cell wall and cell membranes and can include proteins, sugars, and mogrosides, for example. Purification can involve ammonium sulfate precipitation to remove proteins, salting to remove proteins, hydrophobic separation (HPLC), and use of an affinity column. In view of the products produced by the methods herein, affinity media is contemplated for the removal of specific mogrosides with an adsorbent resin.

“HPLC” as described herein is a form of liquid chromatography that can be used to separate compounds that are dissolved in solution. Without being limiting the HPLC instruments can comprise of a reservoir of mobile phase, a pump, an injector, a separation column, and a detector. Compounds can then be separated by injecting a sample mixture onto the column. The different components in the mixture pass can pass through the column at different rates due to differences in their partitioning behavior between the mobile liquid phase and the stationary phase. There are several columns that can be used. Without being limiting the columns can be nomal phase columns, reverse phase columns, size exclusion type of columns, and ion exchange columns.

Also contemplated is the use of solid phase extraction and fractionation, which is useful for desalting proteins and sugar samples. Other methods can include the use of HPLC, liquid chromatography for analyzing samples, and liquid-liquid extraction, described in Aurea Andrade-Eiroa etal. (TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry Volume 80, June 2016, Pages 641-654; incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. “Solid phase extraction” (SPE) for purification, as described herein, refers to a sample preparation process in which compounds that are dissolved or suspended in a liquid mixture are separated from other compounds in the mixture according to their physical and chemical properties. For example, analytical laboratories can use solid phase extraction to concentrate and purify samples for analysis. Solid phase extraction can also be used to isolate analytes of interest from a wide variety of matrices, including urine, blood, water, beverages, soil, and animal tissue, for example. In the embodiments herein, siameoside I that is in cell lysate or in the cell media can be purified by solid phase extraction. SPE uses the affinity of solutes dissolved or suspended in a liquid (known as the mobile phase) for a solid through which the sample is passed (known as the stationary phase) to separate a mixture into desired and undesired components. SPE can also be used and applied directly in gas-solid phase and liquid-solid phase, or indirectly to solid samples by using, e.g., thermodesorption with subsequent chromatographic analysis. This can result in either the desired analytes of interest or undesired impurities in the sample are retained on the stationary phase. The portion that passes through the stationary phase can be collected or discarded, depending on whether it contains the desired analytes or undesired impurities. If the portion retained on the stationary phase includes the desired analytes, they can then be removed from the stationary phase for collection in an additional step, in which the stationary phase is rinsed with an appropriate eluent.

Ways that the solid phase extraction can be performed are not limited. Without being limiting, the procedures may include: Normal phase SPE procedure, Reversed phase SPE, Ion exchange SPE, Anion exchange SPE, Cation exchange, and Solid-phase microextraction. Solid phase extraction is described in Sajid etal., and Ptotka-Wasylka J et al. (Anal Chim Acta. 2017 May 1 ;965:36-53, Crit Rev Anal Chem. 2017 Apr 11 :1 -11 ; incorporated by reference in its entirety).

In some embodiments, the siameoside I that is produced by the cell is purified by solid phase extraction. In some embodiments, the purity of siameoside I, for example purified by solid phase extraction is 70%, 80%, 90% or 100% pure or any level of purity defined by any aforementioned values.

“Fermentation” as described herein, refers broadly to the bulk growth of host cells in a host medium to produce a specific product. In the embodiments herein, the final product produced is siameoside I. This can also include methods that occur with or without air and can be carried out in an anaerobic environment, for example. The whole cells (recombinant host cells) may be in fermentation broth or in a reaction buffer. Siameoside I and intermediate mogroside compounds for the production of C siameoside I can be isolated by collection of intermediate mogroside compounds and siameoside I from the recombinant cell lysate or from the supernatant. The lysate can be obtained after harvesting the cells and subjecting the cells to lysis by shear force (French press cell or sonication) or by detergent treatment. The lysate can then be filtered and treated with ammonium sulfate to remove proteins, and fractionated on a C18 HPLC (5 X 10 cm Atlantis prep T3 OBD column, 5 urn, Waters) and by injections using an A/B gradient (A = water B = acetonitrile) of 10 -> 30% B over 30 minutes, with a 95% B wash, followed by re-equilibration at 1% (total run time = 42 minutes). The runs can be collected in tared tubes (12 fractions/plate, 3 plates per run) at 30 mL/fraction. The lysate can also be centrifuged to remove solids and particulate matter.

Purification of mogrosides can be performed using standard HPLC methods to attain purity levels of at least 95% using techniques well known to the skilled person.

As used herein, a “glycosidic bond” refers to a covalent bond connecting two furanose and/or pyranose groups together. Generally, a glycosidic bond is the bond between the anomeric carbon of one furanose or pyranose moiety and an oxygen of another furanose or pyranose moiety. Glycosidic bonds are named using the numbering of the connected carbon atoms, and the alpha/beta orientation a- and b-glycosidic bonds are distinguished based on the relative stereochemistry of the anomeric position and the stereocenter furthest from C1 in the ring. For example, sucrose is a disaccharide composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose connected through an alpha 1 -2 glycosidic bond, as shown below.

An example of a beta 1 -4 glycosidic bond can be found in cellulose:

As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “an aromatic compound” includes mixtures of aromatic compounds.

Often, ranges are expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and/or to “about” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint.

“Codon optimization” as described herein, refers to the design process of altering codons to codons known to increase maximum protein expression efficiency. In some alternatives, codon optimization for expression in a cell is described, wherein codon optimization can be performed by using algorithms that are known to those skilled in the art so as to create synthetic genetic transcripts optimized for high mRNA and protein yield in humans. Codons can be optimized for protein expression in a bacterial cell, mammalian cell, yeast cell, insect cell, or plant cell, for example. Programs containing algorithms for codon optimization in humans are readily available. Such programs can include, for example, OptimumGene™ or GeneGPS® algorithms. Additionally codon optimized sequences can be obtained commercially, for example, from Integrated DNA Technologies. In some of the embodiments herein, a recombinant cell for the production of siamenoside I comprises genes encoding enzymes for synthesis, wherein the genes are codon optimized for expression. In some embodiments, the genes are codon optimized for expression in bacterial, yeast, fungal or insect cells.

As used herein, the terms “nucleic acid,” “nucleic acid molecule,” and “polynucleotide” are interchangeable and refer to any nucleic acid, whether composed of phosphodiester linkages or modified linkages such as phosphotriester, phosphoramidate, siloxane, carbonate, carboxymethylester, acetamidate, carbamate, thioether, bridged phosphoramidate, bridged methylene phosphonate, bridged phosphoramidate, bridged phosphoramidate, bridged methylene phosphonate, phosphorothioate, methylphosphonate, phosphorodithioate, bridged phosphorothioate or sultone linkages, and combinations of such linkages. The terms “nucleic acid” and “polynucleotide” also specifically include nucleic acids composed of bases other than the five biologically occurring bases (adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine and uracil).

Non-limiting examples of polynucleotides include deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA), oligonucleotides, fragments generated by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and fragments generated by any of ligation, scission, endonuclease action, and exonuclease action. Nucleic acid molecules can be composed of monomers that are naturally-occurring nucleotides (such as DNA and RNA), or analogs of naturally- occurring nucleotides (e.g., enantiomeric forms of naturally-occurring nucleotides), or a combination of both. Modified nucleotides can have alterations in sugar moieties and/or in pyrimidine or purine base moieties. Sugar modifications include, for example, replacement of one or more hydroxyl groups with halogens, alkyl groups, amines, and azido groups, or sugars can be functionalized as ethers or esters. Moreover, the entire sugar moiety can be replaced with sterically and electronically similar structures, such as aza-sugars and carbocyclic sugar analogs. Examples of modifications in a base moiety include alkylated purines and pyrimidines, acylated purines or pyrimidines, or other well- known heterocyclic substitutes. Nucleic acid monomers can be linked by phosphodiester bonds or analogs of such linkages. Analogs of phosphodiester linkages include phosphorothioate, phosphorodithioate, phosphoroselenoate, phosphorodiselenoate, phosphoroanilothioate, phosphoranilidate, phosphoramidate, and the like. The term “nucleic acid molecule” also includes so-called “peptide nucleic acids,” which comprise naturally-occurring or modified nucleic acid bases attached to a polyamide backbone. Nucleic acids can be either single stranded or double stranded. In some alternatives, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a fusion protein is provided. In some alternatives, the nucleic acid is RNA or DNA. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid comprises any one of the relevant SEQ ID NOs: 1 -26.

“Coding for" or “encoding” are used herein, and refers to the property of specific sequences of nucleotides in a polynucleotide, such as a gene, a cDNA, or an mRNA, to serve as templates for synthesis of other macromolecules such as a defined sequence of amino acids. Thus, a gene codes for a protein if transcription and translation of mRNA corresponding to that gene produces the protein in a cell or other biological system. In some embodiments herein, a recombinant cell is provided, wherein the recombinant cell comprises genes encoding for UDP glycosyltransferases or glucosidases. In some embodiments, the UDP glycosyltransferases comprises an amino acid sequence set forth by any one of SEQ ID NO: 1 , SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 7, or SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 21 or SEQ ID NO: 23. In some embodiments, the glucosidases comprises an amino acid sequence set forth by SEQ ID NO: 25. In some embodiments, the UDP glycosyltransferases are encoded by SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 8, or SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 12, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 18, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 22 or SEQ ID NO: 24. . In some embodiments, the glucosidases are encoded by SEQ ID NO: 26. In some embodiments, the genes encoding the UDP glycosyltransferases are codon optimized for expression in the host cell. A "nucleic acid sequence coding for a polypeptide" includes all nucleotide sequences that are degenerate versions of each other and that code for the same amino acid sequence. Optimization can also be performed to reduce the occurrence of secondary structure in a polynucleotide. In some alternatives of the method, optimization of the sequences in the vector can also be performed to reduce the total GC/AT ratio. Strict codon optimization can lead to unwanted secondary structure or an undesirably high GC content that leads to secondary structure. As such, the secondary structures affect transcriptional efficiency. Programs such as GeneOptimizer can be used after codon usage optimization, for secondary structure avoidance and GC content optimization. These additional programs can be used for further optimization and troubleshooting after an initial codon optimization to limit secondary structures that can occur after the first round of optimization. Alternative programs for optimization are readily available. In some alternatives of the method, the vector comprises sequences that are optimized for secondary structure avoidance and/or the sequences are optimized to reduce the total GC/AT ratio and/or the sequences are optimized for expression in a bacterial or yeast cell.

“Vector,” “Expression vector” or “construct” is a nucleic acid used to introduce heterologous nucleic acids into a cell that has regulatory elements to provide expression of the heterologous nucleic acids in the cell. Vectors include but are not limited to plasmid, minicircles, yeast, and viral genomes. In some alternatives, the vectors are plasmid, minicircles, yeast, or genomes. In some alternatives, the vector is for protein expression in a bacterial system such as E. coli. In some alternatives, the vector is for protein expression in a bacterial system, such as E. coli. In some alternatives, the vector is for protein expression in a yeast system. In some embodiments, the vector for expression is a viral vector. In some embodiments the vector is a recombinant vector comprising promoter sequences for upregulation of expression of the genes. “Regulatory elements” can refer to the nucleic acid that has nucleotide sequences that can influence the transcription or translation initiation and rate, stability and mobility of a transcription or translation product.

“Recombinant host” or “recombinant host cell” as described herein is a host, the genome of which has been augmented by at least one incorporated DNA sequence. Said incorporated DNA sequence may be a heterologous nucleic acid encoding one or more polypeptides. Such DNA sequences include but are not limited to genes that are not naturally present, DNA sequences that are not normally transcribed into RNA or translated into a protein ("expressed"), and other genes or DNA sequences which one desires to introduce into the nonrecombinant host. In some embodiments, the recombinant host cell is used to prevent expression problems such as codon-bias. There are commercial hosts for expression of proteins, for example, BL21 -CodonPlus™ cells, tRNA-Supplemented Host Strains for Expression of Heterologous Genes, Rosetta™ (DE3) competent strains for enhancing expression of proteins, and commercial yeast expression systems in the genera Saccharomyces, Pichia, Kluyveromyces, Hansenula and Yarrowia.

The recombinant host may be a commercially available cell such as Rosetta cells for expression of enzymes that may have rare codons.

The type of host cell can vary. For example, the host cell can be selected from a group consisting of Agaricus, Aspergillus, Bacillus, Candida, corynebacterium, Escherichia, Fusarium/Gibberella, Kluyveromyces, Laetiporus, Lentinus, Phaffia, Phanerochaete, Pichia, Physcomitrella, Rhodoturula, Saccharomyces, Schizosaccharomyces, Sphaceloma, Xanthophyllomyces, Yarrowia, Lentinus tigrinus, Laetiporus sulphureus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Pichia pastoris, Physcomitrella patens, Rhodoturula glutinis, Rhodoturula mucilaginosa, Phaffia rhodozyma, Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous, Fusarium fujikuroi/Gibberella fujikuroi, Candida utilis, Yarrowia lipolytica, Siraitia, Momordica, Gynostemma, Cucurbita, Cucumis, Arabidopsis, Artemisia, Stevia, Panax, Withania, Euphorbia, Medicago, Chlorophytum, Eleutherococcus, Aralia, Morns, Medicago, Betula, Astragalus, Jatropha, Camellia, Hypholoma, Aspergillus, Solanum, Huperzia, Pseudostellaria, Corchorus, Hedera, Marchantia, and Morns, Trichophyton, Sanghuangporus, Taiwanofungus, Moniliophthora, Marssonina, Diplodia, Lentinula, Xanthophyllomyces, Pochonia, Colletotrichum, Diaporthe, Histoplasma, Coccidioides, Histoplasma, Sanghuangporus, Aureobasidium, Pochonia, PeniciHium, Sporothrix, Metarhizium, Aspergillus, Yarrowia, Lipomyces, Aspergillus nidulans, Yarrowia lipolytica, Rhodosporin toruloides, Candida, Sacccharaomyces, Saccharomycotina, Taphrinomycotina, Schizosaccharomycetes, Komagataella, Basidiomycota, Agaricomycotina, Tremellomycetes, Pucciniomycotina, Aureobasidium, Coniochaeta, Rhodosporidium, and Microboryomycetes, Gibberella fujikuroi, Kluyveromyces lactis, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Aspergillus niger, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Escherichia coli, Rhodobacter sphaeroides, and Rhodobacter capsulatus. Methods to enhance product yield have been described, for example, in S. cerevisiae. Methods are known for making recombinant microorganisms.

Methods to prepare recombinant host cells from Aspergillus spp. is described in WO201 4086842, incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. Nucleotide sequences of the genomes can be obtained through gene data libraries available publicly and can allow for rational design and modifications of the pathways to enhance and improve product yield.

“Culture media” as described herein, can be a nutrient rich broth for the growth and maintenance of cells during their production phase. A yeast culture for maintaining and propagating various strains, can require specific formulations of complex media for use in cloning and protein expression, and can be appreciated by those of skill in the art. Commercially available culture media can be used from ThermoFisher for example. The media can be YPD broth or can have a yeast nitrogen base. Yeast can be grown in YPD or synthetic media at 30 ^Q C.

Lysogeny broth (LB) is typically used for bacterial cells. The bacterial cells used for growth of the enzymes and mogrosides can have antibiotic resistance to prevent the growth of other cells in the culture media and contamination. The cells can have an antibiotic gene cassettes for resistance to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, penicillin, kanamycin and ampicillin, for example. As described herien, a “fusion protein” is a protein created through the joining of two or more nucleic acid sequences that originally coded for a portion or entire amino acid sequence of separate proteins. For example, a fusion protein can contain a functional protein (e.g., an enzyme (including, but not limited to, cucurbitadienol synthase)) and one or more fusion domains. A fusion domain, as describe herein, can be a full length or a portion/fragment of a protein (e.g., a functional protein including but not limited to, an enzyme, a transcription factor, a toxin, and translation factor). The location of the one or more fusion domains in the fusion protein can vary. For example, the one or more fusion domains can be at the N- and/or C- terminal regions (e.g., N- and/or C- termini) of the fusion protein. The one or more fusion domains can also be at the central region of the fusion protein. The fusion domain is not required to be located at the terminus of the fusion protein. A fusion domain can be selected so as to confer a desired property. For example, a fusion domain may affect (e.g., increase or decrese) the enzymatic activity of an enzyme that it is fused to, or affect (e.g., incrase or decrease) the stability of a protein that it is fused to. A fusion domain may be a multimerizing (e.g., dimerizing and tetramerizing) domain and/or functional domains. In some embodiments, the fusion domain may enhance or decrease the multimerization of the protein that it is fused to. As a non-limiting example, a fusion protein can contain a full length protein A and a fusion domain fused to the N-terminal region and/or C-terminal region of the full length protein A. In some examples, a fusion protein contains a partial sequence of protein A and a fusion domain fused to the N-terminal region and/or C-terminal region (e.g., the N-terminus and C- terminus) of the partial sequnce of protein A. The fusion domain can be, for example, a portion or the entire sequence of protein A, or a portion or the entire sequence of a protein different from protein A. In some embodiments, one or more of the enzymes suitable for use in the methods, systems and compositions disclosed herein can be a fusion protein. In some embodiments, the fusion protein is encoded by a nucleic acid sequence having at least 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 99% sequence identity to one of the nucleic acid sequences provided herein. In some embodiments, the fusion protein comprise an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 99% sequence identity to one of the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO: 1 , SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 7, or SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 11 , SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 21 , SEQ ID NO: 23 or SEQ ID NO: 25. In some embodiments, the fusion protein comprises an amino acid protein sequence having at least 80%, 90%, 95%, or 99% sequence identity to one of the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO: 1 , SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 7, or SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 11 , SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 21 , SEQ ID NO: 23 or SEQ ID NO: 25, and a fusion domain at N-, C-, or both terminal regions of the fusion protein. In some embodiments, the fusion protein comprises one of the amino acid protein sequences of SEQ ID NO: 1 , SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 7, or SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 11 , SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 21 , SEQ ID NO: 23 or SEQ ID NO: 25, and a fusion domain located at N-, C-, or both termnal regions of the fusion protein.

The length of the fusion domain can vary, for example, from 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 125, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, or a range between any of these two numbers, amino acids. In some embodiments, the fusion domain is about 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, or a range between any two of these numbers, amino acids in length. In some embodiments, the fusion domain is a substantial portion or the entire sequence of a functional protein (for example, an enzyme, a transcription factor, or a translation factor). In some embodiments, the fusion protein is a protein having cucurbitadienol synthase activity.

Optimizing cell growth and protein expression techniques in culture media are also contemplated. For growth in culture media, cells such as yeast can be sensitive to low pH (Narendranath et al., Appl Environ Microbiol. 2005 May; 71 (5): 2239-2243; incorporated by reference in its entirety). During growth, yeast must maintain a constant intracellular pH. There are many enzymes functioning within the yeast cell during growth and metabolism. Each enzyme works best at its optimal pH, which is acidic because of the acidophilic nature of the yeast itself. When the extracellular pH deviates from the optimal level, the yeast cell needs to invest energy to either pump in or pump out hydrogen ions in order to maintain the optimal intracellular pH. As such media containing buffers to control for the pH would be optimal. Alternatively, the cells can also be transferred into a new media if the monitored pH is high.

Growth optimization of bacterial and yeast cells can also be achieved by the addition of nutrients and supplements into a culture media. Alternatively, the cultures can be grown in a fermenter designed for temperature, pH control and controlled aeration rates. Dissolved oxygen and nitrogen can flowed into the media as necessary.

The term "Operably linked" as used herein refers to functional linkage between a regulatory sequence and a heterologous nucleic acid sequence resulting in expression of the latter.

“Mogrosides” and “mogroside compounds” are used interchangeably herein and refer to a family of triterpene glycosides. Non-limiting exemplary examples of mogrosides include such as Mogroside V, Siamenoside I, Mogroside IVE, Iso-mogroside V, Mogroside IIIE, 11 -Deoxy-mogroside V, 11 -Oxo-mogroside V, Mogroside VI, Mogroside IVA, Mogroside IIA, Mogroside IIAI , Mogroside IIA2, Mogroside IA, 11 -oxo-Mogroside VI, 11 -oxo-Mogroside IIIE, 11 -oxo-Mogroside IVE, Mogroside IE, Mogrol, 11 -oxo-mogrol, Mogroside ME, Mogroside IIIA2, and Mogroside III, which have been identified from the fruits of Siraitia grosvenorii (Swingle) that are responsible for the sweetness of the fruits. In the embodiments herein, mogroside intermediates can be used in the in vivo, ex vivo, or in vitro production of siamenoside I.

In some embodiments, a recombinant cell for producing siamenoside I further produces mogrosides and comprises genes encoding enzymes for the production of mogrosides. Recombinant cells capable of the production of mogrosides are further described in WO201 4086842, incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. In some embodiments, the recombinant cell is grown in a media to allow expression of the enzymes and production of siamenoside I and mogroside intermediates. In some embodiments, siamenoside I is obtained by lysing the cell with shear force (i.e. French press cell or sonication) or by detergent lysing methods. In some embodiments, the cells are supplemented in the growth media with precursor molecules such as mogrol to boost production of siamenoside I or a salt thereof. Siamenoside I is a high-intensity sweetener the can be used in a wide variety of products in which a sweet taste is desired. Siamenoside I provides a low-calorie advantage to other sweeteners such as sucrose or fructose.

In some embodiments, siamenoside I is in an isolated and purified form. In some embodiments, siamenoside I is present in a composition in which siamenoside I is substantially purified. In some embodiments, siamenoside I or salts thereof are isolated and is in solid form. In some embodiments, the solid form is amorphous. In some embodiments, the solid form is crystalline. In some embodiments, the compound is in the form of a lyophile. In some embodiments, siamenoside I is isolated and within a buffer.

EXAMPLES

Some aspects of the embodiments discussed above are disclosed in further detail in the following examples, which are not in any way intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

Example 1 : Glycosylation of Mogroside IIIE to Siamenoside I

The use of UDP-glycotransferase 330 [6] led to the reaction products Siamenoside I, Mogroside IVE and Mogroside V (Figure 1 ). The gene from Sesamum indicum, was overexpressed in Ecoli (BL21-RIL) using overexpression vector pET-28a. For the reaction, I mg/ml of Mogroside IIIE was reacted with 250ul crude extract containing UDP- glycotransferase 330, 2ul crude extract containing sucrose synthase, 3mM UDP-Glucose, lx M221 protease inhibitor, 200mM sucrose, 0.5mg/ml spectinomycin, 5mM MgCI, 5mM KCI, in 0.1 M Tris-HCI pH7.0, incubated at 30°C. The sample below in the figure below was taken after 4hrs. The reactions were analyzed by UPLC (fluorophenyl column, 15 to 30, 6 minutes). The protein and DNA sequence of UGT330 is provided in SEQ ID NO: 21 and SEQ ID NO: 22, respectively.

Example 2: Hydrolysis of Mogroside V to Siamenoside I

A polypeptide having the amino acid sequence provided in SEQ ID NO 25 was produced by S. cerevisiae (A exg1) by cloning nucleic acid SEQ ID NO 26 into pESC-Ura and transformed into S. cerevisiae ( Lexgl ). The strain was grown in 10 mL of SC-Ura solution and incubated at 30°C for 2 days at 250 rpm. 10 mL of the seed culture was used to inoculate 1 L of SC-Ura solution with 100 g/L Luo Han Guo (LHG) extract without glucose supplementation in 2.8 L non-baffled Fernbach flask at 125 rpm. After 3 days, the supernatant was collected for HPLC and majority of Mogroside V was hydrolyzed to mostly Siamenoside I (Figure 2, Seql25: Protein, Seql26: DNA). The hydrolysis reactions were analyzed by UPLC (fluorophenyl column, 15 to 30, 6 minutes).

Example 3: Growth of modified S. cerevisiae overproducing polypeptide SEQ ID NO 25 on mogroside extract without glucose.

S. cerevisiae (Lexgl) with overexpression of hydrolytic enzyme provided by the polypeptide having the amino acid sequence provided in SEQ ID NO 25 was grown in 10 ml_ of SC-Ura solution and incubated at 30°C for 2 days at 250 rpm. 10 ml_ of the seed culture was used to inoculate 1 L of SC-Ura solution with 100 g/L Luo Han Guo (LHG) extract without glucose supplementation in 2.8 L non-baffled Fernbach flask at 125 rpm. For controls, S. cerevisiae parent strain (BY4741 ) and strain ( exgl ), were incubated in the same conditions above but with SC-complete. S. cerevisiae strains without overexpression of SEQ ID NO 25, were either unable to grow ( Lexgl ), or hampered in growth (parent) when replacing glucose with mogroside extract. SEQUENCE LISTING
