High level expression of a recombinant acid phytase gene in Pichia pastoris

AIMS: To achieve high phytase yield with improved enzymatic activity in Pichia pastoris. METHODS AND RESULTS: The 1347-bp phytase gene of Aspergillus niger SK-57 was synthesized using a successive polymerase chain reaction and was altered by deleting intronic sequences, optimizing codon usage and replacing its original signal sequence with a synthetic signal peptide (designated MF4I) that is a codon-modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae mating factor alpha-prepro-leader sequence. The gene constructs containing wild type or modified phytase gene coding sequences under the control of the highly-inducible alcohol oxidase gene promoter with the MF4I- or wild type alpha-signal sequence were used to transform Pichia pastoris. The P. pastoris strain that expressed the modified phytase gene (phyA-sh) with MF4I sequence produced 6.1 g purified phytase per litre of culture fluid, with the phytase activity of 865 U ml(-1). The expressed phytase varied in size (64, 67, 87, 110 and 120 kDa), but could be deglycosylated to produce a homogeneous 64 kDa protein. The recombinant phytase had two pH optima (pH 2.5 and pH 5.5) and an optimum temperature of 60 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS: The P. pastoris strain with the genetically engineered phytase gene produced 6.1 g l(-1) of phytase or 865 U ml(-1) phytase activity, a 14.5-fold increase compared with the P. pastoris strain with the wild type phytase gene. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The P. pastoris strain expressing the modified phytase gene with the MF4I signal peptide showed great potential as a commercial phytase production system.     

High level expression of active recombinant human interleukin-3 in Pichia pastoris

Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a hematopoietic growth factor involved in the survival, proliferation and differentiation of multipotent hematopoietic cells. A DNA fragment containing the mature human IL-3 sequence was cloned into pPICZαA, generating a fusion protein with the alpha factor signal sequence in the N-terminus and 6×His as well as c-Myc tags in the C-terminus. The resulting plasmid was integrated into the genome of Pichia pastoris strain X-33. Recombinant yeast transformants with high-level rhIL-3 production were identified, secreting as much as 26 mg/L rhIL-3 after 4 days of induction by methanol in flask. The rhIL-3 was purified by Ni⁺-NTA affinity chromatography, followed by DEAE anion exchange, yielding over 95% highly purified rhIL-3 preparation at about 21 mg/L. Mass spectrometry and MALDI-TOF-TOF analysis of the purified rIL-3 showed molecular weights of 18995.694 Da and 22317.469 Da, due to different degrees of N-linked glycosylation. The biological activity of the rhIL-3 proteins was confirmed by its ability to support ba/f3 cells proliferation and activate the ERK signaling pathways. The results demonstrate that the experimental procedure we have developed can produce a large amount of active recombinant human IL-3 from P. pastoris.
