β-glucanases of the yeast Pichia polymorpha

Fractionation of proteins secreted into the culture medium by intact cells and protoplasts of Pichia polymorpha showing enzyme activity against laminarin, pustulan or p-nitrophenyl--d-glucopyranoside has been performed, and the results compared with those obtained with cell-free extracts and lysed protoplasts. Fractionation with DEAE Sephadex A₅₀ has proved to be the best method, yielding at least three fractions which hydrolyse laminarin. One of these fractions was active on both laminarin and pustulan. Filtration on Sephadex G-100 column only yielded one active preparation. Evidence supporting the conclusion that there are three different -glucanases located in the periplasmic space is presented.

利用重组Pichia pastoris生产腺苷甲硫氨酸

Elimination of β-mannose glycan structures in Pichia pastoris

The methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris, is an important organism used for the production of therapeutic proteins. However, the presence of fungal-like glycans, such as those containing β-mannose (Man) linkages, can elicit an immune response or bind to Man receptors, thus reducing their efficacy. Recent studies have confirmed that P. pastoris has four genes from the β-mannosyl transferase (BMT) family and that Bmt2p is responsible for the majority of β-Man linkages on glycans. While expressing recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) in a developmental glycoengineered strain devoid of BMT2 gene expression, cross-reactivity was observed with an antibody raised against host cell antigens. Treatment of the rhEPO with protein N-glycosidase F eliminated cross-reactivity, indicating that the antigen was associated with the glycan. Thorough analysis of the glycan profile of rhEPO demonstrated the presence of low amounts of α-1,2-mannosidase resistant high-Man glycoforms. In an attempt to eliminate the α-mannosidase resistant glycoforms, we used a systemic approach to genetically knock-out the remaining members of the BMT family culminating in a quadruple bmt2,4,1,3 knock-out strain. Data presented here conclude that the additive elimination of Bmt2p, Bmt3p and Bmt1p activities are required for total abolition of β-Man-associated glycans and their related antigenicity. Taken together, the elimination of β-Man containing glycoforms represents an important step forward for the Pichia production platform as a suitable system for the production of therapeutic glycoproteins.     

Contribution à la systématique du genre Pichia

A new way of classifying the species of the genus Pichia is proposed.

Constitutive expression of alkaline β-mannanase in recombinant Pichia pastoris

Alkaline β-mannanase has important applications for specific industrial processes like pulp bleaching and the detergent industry. The low yield of alkaline β-mannanase produced from native microbes such as alkaliphilic Bacillus limits its applications. Pichia pastoris is the most efficient heterologous system to produce alkaline mannanase. However, the previous use of the AOX system required large amount of methanol and sophisticated operation strategy, which are undesirable in large scale production. In this study, we established a safe and simple constitutive expression process for mannanase production in P. pastoris. The mannanase gene was successfully expressed under the control of GAP promoter. Sequential optimization of the constructed strains was also performed including the copy number optimization and co-expression of chaperone genes. A two-stage feeding strategy was then applied for the finally optimized strain. After 96 h fermentation, a production level of 2980 U/mL was finally reached, illustrating the potential of the GAP constitutive expression system for industrial scale preparation of alkaline β-mannanase.     

Production of bioactive sheep β-defensin-1 in Pichia pastoris

Previous research has shown that sheep β-defensin-1 (sBD-1), a small cationic peptide with a broad range of antimicrobial activities, could inhibit the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as that of fungi. In order to increase the yield of current ovine defensin purification methods, mature sBD-1 (msBD-1) was added with a 6-His tag on the C-terminus (msBD-1-T) and expressed in Pichia pastoris in the presented work. The msBD-1 and msBD-1-T were expressed in the Pichia pastoris. Both msBD-1 and msBD-1-T were purification, and the two peptides were used to inhibit Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Shigella flexneri. The antimicrobial activity of the 6-His tagged msBD-1-T peptide was not significantly different from that of the native msBD-1 peptide. The two peptides could inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Shigella flexneri with equal efficiency as well as chemoattractant function. In addition, the yield of purified 6-His-tagged msBD-1 was greater than that of msBD-1. The presented method might be a more efficient approach to produce bioactive sBD-1.

Expression and characterization of Pichia etchellsii β-glucosidase in Escherichia coli

The β-glucosidase enzyme is important as the terminal enzyme involved in hydrolysis of cellobiose and short-chain cellodextrins generated during enzymatic cellulose degradation. Under controlled reaction conditions the enzyme also displays cello-oligosaccharide synthesizing ability (based on either the thermodynamic or kinetic approach). We present here the purification of the enzyme β-glucosidase (BGL) of Pichia etchellsii from recombinant pBG55 Escherichia coli clone. The kinetic parameters, substrate specificity and oligosaccharide synthesizing ability of the purified enzyme are also reported. The purified 200-kDa protein (tetramer of 50 kDa) was identified as a broad-substrate-specificity enzyme exhibiting increased temperature and glucose tolerance compared to the native yeast enzyme. Temperature directed substrate specificity for aryl β,1–4 linkage, and β(1–2), β(1–4), β(1–6) and β(2-1) linkages in various natural disaccharides was observed. Glycosylation of the enzyme was found to be unimportant for enzyme activity. With both cellobiose and glucose, oligosaccharide synthesis was detected. The implications of this information with regard to cellulose hydrolysis and oligosaccharide synthesis are discussed.

Heterologous expression of β-xylosidase gene from Paecilomyces thermophila in Pichia pastoris

β-xylosidase from thermophilic fungi Paecilomyces thermophila was functionally expressed in Pichia pastoris with a his tag in the C-terminal under the alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter and secreted into the medium at 0.22 mg l^?1. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 52.3 kDa based on the SDS-PAGE analysis, which is 1.3 times higher than the predicted 39.31 kDa from its amino acid compositions, although no potential N- or O- glycosylation sites were predicted from its amino acid sequence. This is presumed to be caused by some unpredictable posttranslational modifications based on mass spectrum analysis of the recombinant protein. The enzyme was most active at 60 °C and pH 7. It showed not only a β-xylosidase activity with a K_m of 8 mM and a V_max of 54 μmol min^?1 mg^?1 for hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl β-d-xylopyranoside but also an arabinofuranosidase activity (6.2 U mg^?1) on p-nitrophenyl arabinofuranoside.
