Two serine-rich heptapeptides, Ser-Ser-Ser-Lys-Ser-Ser-Ser (S6K) and Ser-Ser-Ser-Ser-Ser-Ser-Ser (S7), were fused to the C-terminus of chicken lysozyme (Lz) by genetic modification to improve the functional properties of lysozyme. The cDNAs of S6K-lysozyme (S6K-Lz) and S7-lysozyme (S7-Lz) were inserted into the expression vector of Pichia pastoris and secreted in yeast cultivation medium. The secretion amounts of S6K-Lz and S7-Lz were about 60% of that of wild-type lysozyme (Wt-Lz). The CD spectra showed that the conformation of S6K-Lz and S7-Lz was conserved regardless of the attachment of serine-rich peptides. The denaturation curves of S6K-Lz and S7-Lz also showed that the conformational changes were very small. The lytic activity of S6K-Lz and S7-Lz was almost the same as that of Wt-Lz, while the bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli of S6K-Lz and S7-Lz was greatly increased. The acetic acid-urea PAGE of phosphatase-treated S6K-Lz and S7-Lz indicated the possibility of phosphorylation of the fused serine-rich heptapeptides.  相似文献

Functional properties of glycosylated lysozyme secreted in Pichia pastoris   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Various mutant lysozymes having the N-glycosylation signal sequence, R21T (Asn(19)-Tyr(20)-Thr(21)), G49N (Asn(49)- Ser(50)-Thr(51)), R21T/G49N (Asn(19)-Tyr(20)-Thr(21)/Asn(49)-Ser(50)-Thr(51)), were secreted in the Pichia pastoris expression system. The secreted amounts of these mutant glycosylated lysozymes were almost the same as those of wild-type lysozyme (about 30 mg/liter). Glycosylation of the mutant lysozymes was confirmed by SDS-PAGE patterns, Endo-H treatment, TOF-MS analysis and chemical analysis. The composition of the carbohydrate chain attached to the single glycosylated lysozymes, R21T and G49N, was GlcNAc(2)Man(9-11), while that of the double glycosylated lysozyme, R21T/G49N, was GlcNAc(4)Man(27-32). The results of a CD analysis and lytic activity suggested that the conformation of the single glycosylated lysozymes had been conserved, while that of the double glycosylated lysozyme was less stable. The emulsifying properties of the lysozyme when glycosylated were greatly improved, being especially noteworthy in the double glycosylated lysozyme.  相似文献

Magnaporthe grisea, a destructive ascomycetous pathogen of rice, secretes cell wall-degrading enzymes into a culture medium containing purified rice cell walls as the sole carbon source. From M. grisea grown under the culture conditions described here, we have identified an expressed sequenced tag, XYL-6, a gene that is also expressed in M. grisea-infected rice leaves 24 h postinoculation with conidia. This gene encodes a protein about 65% similar to endo-beta-1,4-D-glycanases within glycoside hydrolase family GH10. A M. grisea knockout mutant for XYL-6 was created, and it was shown to be as virulent as the parent strain in infecting the rice host. The proteins secreted by the parent strain and by the xyl-6Delta mutant were each fractionated by liquid chromatography, and the collected fractions were assayed for endo-beta-1,4-D-glucanase or endo-beta-1,4-D-xylanase activities. Two protein-containing peaks with endo-beta-1,4-D-xylanase activity secreted by the parent strain are not detectable in the column eluant of the proteins secreted by the mutant. The two endoxylanases (XYL-6alpha and XYL-6beta) from the parent were each purified to homogeneity. N-terminal amino acid sequencing indicated that XYL-6alpha is a fragment of XYL-6beta and that XYL-6beta is identical to the deduced protein sequence encoded by the XYL-6 gene. Finally, XYL-6 was introduced into Pichia pastoris for heterologous expression, which resulted in the purification of a fusion protein, XYL-6H, from the Pichia pastoris culture filtrate. XYL-6H is active in cleaving arabinoxylan. These experiments unequivocally established that the XYL-6 gene encodes a secreted endo-beta-1,4-D-xylanase.  相似文献

Expression systems of human and silkworm lysozymes were constructed using the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris as a host. The leader sequence and its prepro peptide of alpha-factor (a peptide pheromone derived from yeast) and the native signal sequences of these lysozymes, were used as secretion signals. When the alpha-factor leader is used as the signal sequence, human lysozyme is secreted at a much higher level than is silkworm lysozyme. On the other hand, silkworm lysozyme, when its native signal is used, is secreted more efficiently than human lysozyme. Therefore, we expected that human lysozyme cDNA with a silkworm native signal would be secreted more efficiently than human lysozyme with its native signal. However, its level of expression was not increased. This result indicates that the native signal of silkworm lysozyme does not promote the secretion of the lysozyme, but rather alpha-factor leader inhibits the secretion. Silkworm lysozyme with the alpha-factor leader is so unstable that it could be easily attacked by some proteases and our findings suggest that the level of expression of heterologous protein with signal peptides and its stability are greatly affected by the selection of the appropriate secretion signal sequence.  相似文献

Alfimeprase (ALF) is a truncated form of non-hemorrhagic zinc metalloproteinase fibrolase. In order to achieve a high level secretion and full activity expression of ALF, the Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) expression system was used. ALF coding sequence fused with a 6 *histidine tag and an enterokinase recognition site at the N-terminus was cloned into the expression vector pPIC9K and then expressed in P. pastoris strains of GS115 and KM71 by methanol induction. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analysis showed that the secreted recombinant ALF (rALF) had a molecular weight of 23.8 kDa and was bound specifically to mouse anti-His. tag monoclonal antibody. Under the optimized culture parameters of pH value, initial A(600) value, methanol daily addition concentration and induction time length, the production of rALF reached up to 510 mg/L and 465 mg/L of the GS115 and KM71 transformants, respectively. It also appeared that KM71 was producing a more pure protein than GS115 while GS115 was producing more rALF per unit volume. Through one-step affinity chromatography, the purity of rALF was as high as 96%. The fibrinolytic activity of rALF revealed by the modified fibrin plate method indicated that the protein was efficiently secreted and functionally expressed, and thrombolysis of rALF was demonstrated to be dose-dependent and time-relative. The improved expression system will facilitate further studies and industrial production of ALF.  相似文献

To get high level secretion of human lysozyme in Pichia pastoris, the following three signal sequences and one prepro sequence were evaluated: chicken lysozyme signal peptide, leucine-rich artificial signal peptide, Saccharomyces invertase signal peptide, and Saccharomyces prepro sequence of alpha factor (MF-alpha Prepro). Transformants harboring a lysozyme gene with MF-alpha Prepro secreted 20-fold more lysozyme than those harboring the lysozyme gene with any one of the other three signal sequences. Three mutant leader sequences derived from MF-alpha Prepro were constructed to discover the function of the pro region. The secretion was dramatically decreased by eliminating the pro region of MF-alpha Prepro. In contrast, MF-alpha Prepro with the EAEAEA sequence directed the secretion of an equivalent level of lysozyme having the extra amino acids (EAEAEA) in its N-terminus. For the effective secretion of native human lysozyme, MF-alpha Prepro without any spacer sequences was most suitable. The secreted protein by MF-alpha Prepro construct was identical with the authentic human lysozyme, judging from N-terminal amino acid sequencing and molecular mass spectrometric and crystallographic analysis.  相似文献

Apostichopus japonicus (sea cucumber) is one of the economically important farmed echinoderm species in Northern China. As a crucial enzyme in innate immunity, lysozyme plays a key role in the overall defense against pathogens in A. japonicus. In the present study, a lysozyme gene from A. japonicus was cloned by PCR and expressed in Pichia pastoris using the expression vector pPIC9K. The expressed lysozyme had a molecular mass of ~14 kD, as shown by SDS-PAGE and Western-blotting. The expression condition was optimized, and the highest expression level was achieved by induction with 1% methanol at pH 5.0 for 120 h. The recombinant lysozyme was purified by affinity chromatography using a Ni-NTA column. The specific activity of the purified lysozyme was 34,000 U/mg using Micrococcus lysodeikticus as substrates. It exhibited antimicrobial activity toward M.lysodeikticus, as detected by growth inhibition on agar plate and turbidity assay, suggesting a potential application of A. japonicus lysozyme as an antimicrobial agent in A. japonicus aquaculture.  相似文献

An expression plasmid for hen egg-white lysozyme in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was constructed by inserting almost full-length cDNA (about 600 base pairs) encoding hen egg-white pre-lysozyme into a yeast expression vector, pAM 82. The hen lysozyme was expressed under the control of the repressible acid phosphatase promoter of pAM 82 in S. cerevisiae. About half of the expressed lysozyme was secreted in the yeast growth medium as a precise mature protein which exhibited specific activity consistent with that of authentic hen egg-white lysozyme. The replacement of Trp 62 of hen egg-white lysozyme with a tyrosine residue was performed by site-directed mutagenesis using a 19-mer oligodeoxyribonucleotide. The mutant lysozyme with Tyr 62 was found to exhibit enhanced bacteriolytic activity.  相似文献

Pichia pastoris is a highly successful system for the large-scale expression of heterologous proteins, with the added capability of performing most eukaryotic post-translational modifications. However, this system has one significant disadvantage - frequent proteolytic degradation by P. pastoris proteases of heterologously expressed proteins. Several methods have been proposed to address this problem, but none has proven fully effective. We tested the effectiveness of a broad specificity protease inhibitor to control proteolysis. A recombinant variant of the BPTI-Kunitz protease inhibitor ShPI-1 isolated from the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus, was expressed in P. pastoris. The recombinant inhibitor (rShPI-1A), containing four additional amino acids (EAEA) at the N-terminus, was folded similarly to the natural inhibitor, as assessed by circular dichroism. rShPI-1A had broad protease specificity, inhibiting serine, aspartic, and cysteine proteases similarly to the natural inhibitor. rShPI-1A protected a model protein, recombinant human miniproinsulin (rhMPI), from proteolytic degradation during expression in P. pastoris. The addition of purified rShPI-1A at the beginning of the induction phase significantly protected rhMPI from proteolysis in culture broth. The results suggest that a broad specificity protease inhibitor such as rShPI-1A can be used to improve the yield of recombinant proteins secreted from P. pastoris.  相似文献

The kringle 5 domain of plasminogen exhibits potent inhibitory effect on endothelial cell proliferation. It can also cause cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of endothelia cell specifically, and shows promise in antiangiogenic therapy. It has been prepared via both proteolysis of native plasminogen and recombinant DNA methodologies. When expressed in E. coli, recombinant, kringle 5 deposited mainly as inactive, insoluble inclusion bodies and the refolding yield was also low. In the present study, human kringle 5 encoding gene was cloned into secretory plasmid pPIC9K and then integrated into Pichia pastoris genome for expression. On methanol induction, biologically active recombinant kringle 5 was expressed and secreted into the culture medium by the integrated Pichia pastoris with the expression level around 30mg/L of yeast culture. After a simple and economical three-step purification protocol, namely precipitation, DEAE ion exchange chromatography, and gel filtration, the recombinant kringle 5 was purified to homogeneity, with the yield of 7.5 mg/liter yeast culture.  相似文献

The A/Victoria/3/75 (H3N2-subtype) hemagglutinin (HA) gene was engineered for expression in Pichia pastoris as a soluble secreted molecule. The HA cDNA lacking the C-terminal transmembrane anchor-coding sequence was fused to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-mating factor secretion signal and placed under control of the methanol-inducible P. pastoris alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter. Growth of transformants on methanol-containing medium resulted in the secretion of recombinant non-cleaved soluble hemagglutinin (HA0s). Remarkably, the pH of the induction medium had an important effect on the expression level, the highest level being obtained at pH 8.0. The gel filtration profile and the reactivity against a panel of different HA-conformation specific monoclonal antibodies indicated that HA0s was monomeric. Analysis of the N-linked glycans revealed a typical P. pastoris type of glycosylation, consisting of glycans with 10-12 glycosyl residues. Mice immunized with purified soluble hemagglutinin (HA0s) showed complete protection against a challenge with 10 LD50 of mouse-adapted homologous virus (X47), whereas all control mice succumbed. Heterologous challenge with X31 virus [A/Aichi/2/68 (H3N2-subtype)], resulted in significantly higher survival rates in the immunized group compared with the control group. These results, together with the safety, reliability and economic potential of P. pastoris, as well as the flexibility and fast adaptation of the expression system may allow development of an effective recombinant influenza vaccine.  相似文献

Hen egg lysozyme (HEL) is one of the sweet-tasting proteins. To understand why lysozyme is sweet, the enzyme was synthesized at high yields by a recombinant method. The mature HEL gene was cloned from a Taq polymerase-amplified PCR product into the Pichia pastoris expression and secretion vector pPIC6alpha. This expression vector contains both the Saccharomyces cerevisiae pre-pro alpha-mating factor secretion signal and the blasticidin resistance gene (bsd) for selection of transformants in bacteria and yeast. Expression of HEL was carried out in fermenter cultures. Culture supernatants were concentrated by ultrafiltration and purified by CM-ion exchange chromatography. Approximately 400 mgL-1 of recombinant HEL was obtained. The high yield of recombinant lysozyme enabled us to perform a sensory analysis in humans. The purified recombinant lysozyme elicited as a sweet taste sensation as does the lysozyme purified directly from egg white, and showed full lytic activity against cells of Micrococcus luteus. These results demonstrate that the P. pastoris expression system with the blasticidin S selection system is useful in producing recombinant sweet-tasting protein in active form at a high yield.  相似文献
