A comparative study of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 2 integrase expressed in and purified from Escherichia coli and Pichia pastoris

The human T-cell leukemia virus type-2 (HTLV-2) integrase (IN) catalyzes the insertion of the viral genome into the host chromosome. HTLV-2 IN was expressed as an N-terminal hexa-histidine tagged protein in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris and as a C-terminal hexa-histidine fusion in Escherichia coli. Maximal IN expression was observed at 48h post-induction for the yeast system and 2h post-induction for E. coli. Effective purification strategies were developed using non-ionic and zwitterionic detergents for initial protein extraction, followed by a one-step nickel-chelating chromatography purification. IN from both sources was routinely greater than 90% pure with yields exceeding 1.5mg of purified IN per liter of culture for P. pastoris. The relative pI was defined for both INs, pH 5.0-5.4, by 2D-gel electrophoresis. Specific activities for IN purified from E. coli and P. pastoris were calculated from in vitro 3(') processing assays and were comparable. In vitro IN assays were also performed to optimize reaction buffer pH and metal concentrations for both 3(') processing and strand transfer assays. Strand transfer was optimal from pH 6.2-6.8, more than 1.5 pH units below the optimal 3(') processing pH of 8.3. IN from both sources showed no enhancement in activity with MnCl(2) concentrations greater than 5mM. The specific activity of P. pastoris purified IN was 0.35 product (pmol)/h/microg IN, and E. coli produced IN was 0.48 product (pmol)/h/microg IN.     

Cloning and characterization of the Pichia pastoris MET2 gene as a selectable marker

We describe the isolation and characterization of a new biosynthetic gene, MET2, from the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. The predicted product of PpMET2 is significantly similar to its Saccharomyces cerevisiae counterpart, ScMET2, which encodes homoserine-O-transacetylase. The ScMET2 was able to complement the P. pastoris met2 strain; however, the converse was not true. Expression vectors based on PpMET2 for the intracellular and secreted production of foreign proteins and corresponding auxotrophic strains were constructed and tested for use in heterologous expression. The expression vectors and corresponding strains provide greater flexibility when using P. pastoris for recombinant protein expression.     

Expression of the lacZ gene from two methanol-regulated promoters in Pichia pastoris.

Two DNA fragments containing putative control regions regulating the expression of the alcohol oxidase (AOX) and dihydroxy-acetone synthase (DAS) genes from the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris were used in the construction of vectors for the expression of the Escherichia coli lacZ gene. These vectors were transformed into P. pastoris host cells and employed in experiments to measure the control mechanisms employed by each promoter in the production of beta-galactosidase fusion products. Results in P. pastoris suggest that the processes used to regulate the expression of these gene fusions involve both repression/derepression and induction mechanisms. Expression of the AOX-lacZ and DAS-lacZ fusions was examined in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as well. Interestingly, beta-galactosidase was expressed in a regulated manner in the heterologous host.     

Recombinant protein expression in Pichia pastoris

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is now one of the standard tools used in molecular biology for the generation of recombinant protein. P. pastoris has demonstrated its most powerful success as a large-scale (fermentation) recombinant protein production tool. What began more than 20 years ago as a program to convert abundant methanol to a protein source for animal feed has been developed into what is today two important biological tools: a model eukaryote used in cell biology research and a recombinant protein production system. To date well over 200 heterologous proteins have been expressed in P. pastoris. Significant advances in the development of new strains and vectors, improved techniques, and the commercial availability of these tools coupled with a better understanding of the biology of Pichia species have led to this microbe's value and power in commercial and research labs alike.     

球孢白僵菌丝氨酸蛋白酶基因CDEP-1在毕赤酵母中的表达

我们从球孢白僵菌中克隆了丝氨酸蛋白酶Pr1类基因CDEP-1。为明确CDEP-1的功能、评价其在害虫生物防治中的潜力,需要大量制备具有生物活性的CDEP-1编码蛋白。由于大肠杆菌系统表达真核基因存在产物复性困难的问题,本文利用毕赤酵母系统来表达CDEP-1。结果表明,CDEP-1可在毕赤酵母中高效的分泌表达,而且产物活性高,甲醇诱导48h后上清液中的酶活即可达到38,266U/L。诱导表达的上清液经浓缩后进行凝胶过滤层析,得到了CDEP-1的初纯品,蛋白质含量为50mg/L。将纯化的蛋白酶CDEP-1免疫家兔,制备了CDEP-1的抗血清。Westernblotting分析表明,制备的抗血清可特异性地检测CDEP-1。     

Biochemical characterization of recombinant Drosophila type 1 serine/threonine protein phosphatase (PP1c) produced in Pichia pastoris.

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris was used to express Drosophila melanogaster type 1beta serine/threonine phosphoprotein phosphatase catalytic subunit (PP1beta9C). A construct encoding PP1beta9C with a short NH(2)-terminal fusion including six histidine residues was introduced into the X-33 and KM71H strains of P. pastoris by homologous recombination. Recombinant protein was purified from cell free extracts 24 h after methanol induction. PP1beta9C was purified to a specific activity of 12,077 mU/mg by a three-step purification method comprising (NH(4))(2)SO(4)-ethanol precipitation followed by Ni(2+)-agarose affinity chromatography and Mono Q anion-exchange chromatography. This purification scheme yielded approximately 80 microg of active, soluble PP1beta9C per 1 L of culture. In contrast to recombinant PP1beta9C overexpressed in bacteria, which differs from native PP1c in several biochemical criteria including the requirement for divalent cations, sensitivity to vanadate, and p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) phosphatase activity, recombinant PP1beta9C produced in P. pastoris has native-like properties. P. pastoris thus provides a reliable and convenient system for the production of active, native-like recombinant PP1beta9C.
