Rhizopus oryzae glucoamylase (GA) has been genetically engineered with modified signal peptide (MSP), increased copy number of the gene, and coexpression of SEC4, a gene encoding a Rab protein associated with secretory vesicles, and its secretion level has been successfully raised up to 100-fold in Pichia pastoris. The MSP was designed to contain the signal peptide of mouse salivary alpha-amylase (S8L) fused to the pro-region of the signal peptide of Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-mating factor to replace the wild type signal peptide (WTSP) of GA. The P. pastoris transformant MSPGA-1 containing a single copy of MSPGA gene showed a 3.6-fold increase in GA secretion as compared to that of WTSPGA-1. Moreover, the P. pastoris transformant MSPGA-7 harboring seven copies of the MSPGA inserts was identified and showed 56-fold higher secreted GA than WTSPGA-1. In addition, we found that overexpression of SEC4 further doubled the secretion level of GA in each MSPGA/P. pastoris transformant. Taken together, the MSPGA-7-SEC4 clone showed as much as 100-fold secretion level of GA when compared to WTSPGA-1. In summary, we have demonstrated that combination of the aforementioned genetic manipulations resulted in high level secretion of R. oryzae GA in P. pastoris. 相似文献

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1ra) is known to treat a number of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes. However, the biological half-life of IL1ra is very short due to its rapid renal clearance. Our present study aimed to increase the biological half-life of IL1ra through fusion with human serum albumin (HSA), and then augmented expression of the IL1ra and HSA fusion protein (IH) in Pichia pastoris strain by increasing IH gene copy number or was co-expressed with chaperone. By comparing clones containing varying copy numbers of IH fusion gene, it was observed that higher levels of secretory IH fusion protein was produced in strain with higher IH gene copy number. In addition, IH protein yield was further improved after being co-expressed with protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). Conversely, it was significantly decreased (i.e., secretory IH in the culture medium) by co-expression of immunoglobulin binding protein. We have also discussed whether the multi-copy strain and co-expressed of PDI could enhance the levels of other secretory albumin fusion protein (e.g., HSA and human growth hormone fusion protein). Interestingly, the level of this fusion protein was apparently also increased by these approaches. In conclusion, our results have demonstrated that increasing copy number and co-expression of PDI may raise yield of albumin fusion protein in P. pastoris, which might probably contribute to the industry for the development of proteinous drugs. 相似文献

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is useful for studying protein trafficking in plant cells. This utility could potentially be extended to develop an efficient secretory reporter system or to enable on-line monitoring of secretory recombinant protein production in plant cell cultures. Toward this end, the aim of the present study was to: (1) demonstrate and characterize high levels of secretion of fluorescent GFP from transgenic plant cell culture; and (2) examine the utility of GFP fluorescence for monitoring secreted recombinant protein production. In this study we expressed in tobacco cell cultures a secretory GFP construct made by splicing an Arabidopsis basic chitinase signal sequence to GFP. Typical extracellular GFP accumulation was 12 mg/L after 10 to 12 days of culture. The secreted GFP is functional and it accounts for up to 55% of the total GFP expressed. Findings from culture treatments with brefeldin A suggest that GFP is secreted by the cultured tobacco cells via the classical endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi pathway. Over the course of flask cultures, medium fluorescence increased with the secreted GFP concentrations that were determined using either Western blot or enzyme-linked immunoassay. Real-time monitoring of secreted GFP in plant cell cultures by on-line fluorescence detection was verified in bioreactor cultures in which the on-line culture fluorescence signals showed a linear dependency on the secreted GFP concentrations. 相似文献

Effect of cloned gene dosage on cell growth and hepatitis B surface antigen synthesis and secretion in recombinant CHO cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effect of cloned gene copy number on growth and product formation has been studied in sufficient detail using a Chinese hamster overy (CHO) cell line producing recombinant hepatits B surface antigen (HbsAg). Batch culture experiments were carried out in T flasks in order to characterize cell growth and HbsAg secretion in various clones carrying different numbers of HbsAg gene copies integrated into CHO cell chromosomes. Specific growth rates were found to decrease with increasing gane copy number. Secreted HbsAg concentration and specific HbsAg secretion rates were found to increase with increase in gene copy number. Gene copy numbers in each clone determined using Southern hybridizations were positively correlated with intracellular dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr) content using a flow cytometric assay. The mRNA levels quantitated using Northern hybridization followed by autroadiography and densitometry also gave the same trends. The flow cytometry experiments show that while parental cells were quite homogeneous with respect to intracellular dhfr content, the amplified clones exhibit a great deal of heterogeneity in dhfr content. Pulse-chase experiments show that the efficiency of HbsAg secretion (defined here as the fraction of initially labeled HbsAg that is secreted into the extracellular medium at the end of a 23.5-h chase) decreases and also that the intracellular HbsAg degradation increases with increasing gene copy number. 相似文献

Effects of gene dosage, promoters, and substrates on unfolded protein stress of recombinant Pichia pastoris 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The expression of heterologous proteins may exert severe stress on the host cells at different levels. Depending on the specific features of the product, different steps may be rate-limiting. For the secretion of recombinant proteins from yeast cells, folding and disulfide bond formation were identified as rate-limiting in several cases and the induction of the chaperone BiP (binding protein) is described. During the development of Pichia pastoris strains secreting human trypsinogen, a severe limitation of the amount of secreted product was identified. Strains using either the AOX1 or the GAP promoter were compared at different gene copy numbers. With the constitutive GAP promoter, no effect on the expression level was observed, whereas with the inducible AOX1 promoter an increase of the copy number above two resulted in a decrease of expression. To identify whether part of the product remained in the cells, lysates were fractionated and significant amounts of the product were identified in the insoluble fraction containing the endoplasmic reticulum, while the soluble cytosolic fraction contained product only in clones using the GAP promoter. An increase of BiP was observed upon induction of expression, indicating that the intracellular product fraction exerts an unfolded protein response in the host cells. A strain using the GAP promoter was grown both on glucose and methanol and trypsinogen was identified in the insoluble fractions of both cultures, but only in the soluble fraction of the glucose grown cultures, indicating that the amounts and distribution of intracellularly retained product depends on the culture conditions, especially the carbon source. 相似文献

We have previously engineered a recombinant Pichia pastoris GS115 transformant, MSPGA-7, harboring seven copies of glucoamylase (GA) fused with modified signal peptide. High yield secretion of GA was achieved as an extra copy of SEC4 was integrated to the transformant. To elucidate the physiological role of SEC4, a dominant-negative mutant of SEC4, SEC4(S28N), was overexpressed under the control of alchohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter in P. pastoris strain MSPGA-7 as well as a set of host cells harboring multi-copy of wild type SEC4. We found that SEC4(S28N) mutation in the key guanine nucleotide binding domain reduced guanine nucleotide binding affinity, hence it blocked the transport of vesicles required for targeting and fusion to the plasma membrane. The inhibitory levels of cell growth and GA secretion were correlated with the dosage of SEC4(S28N) gene. In addition, overexpression of SEC4 driven by AOX1 promoter in MSPGA-7 improved the secretory production of GA, but demonstrated the delay of cell growth by increased gene dosage of SEC4. Interestingly, a limited level of Sec4p did not disturb the cell growth. It was because expression of only one copy of SEC4 resulted in delay of cell growth at an early stage while still maintaining high level Sec4p at long-term incubation. Accordingly, as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter was used to substitute AOX1 promoter to drive the SEC4 expression, enhanced GA secretion but not inhibition of cell growth was achieved. Taken together, our results demonstrate that SEC4 is essential for P. pastoris in regulating cell growth and heterologous protein secretion in a dosage-dependent manner. 相似文献

Expression of hepatitis B surface antigen in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris using the GAP promoter 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
High-level expression and efficient assembly of Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg) particles have been reported in Pichia pastoris by integrating a single copy of the HBsAg gene under the control of the alcohol oxidase (AOX1) promoter. However, the time taken to reach peak product concentration is usually very long ( approximately 240 h). In this paper, we describe the expression of HBsAg in P. pastoris using the recently described glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAP) promoter. Unlike the previously described AOX1 promoter based system (in which biomass is generated first followed by methanol-induced antigen production), biomass generation and antigen production occur simultaneously in medium containing glycerol or glucose. Maximal levels of HBsAg expression in case of the single copy AOX1 integrant (attained after 6 days of induction) exceeded the levels of antigen produced by the single copy GAP integrant. However, this was offset by continuous antigen production by the GAP clone. In an attempt to further enhance antigen production levels of the GAP clones, we isolated multicopy Pichia integrants containing up to four copies of the GAP promoter-driven constitutive expression cassette using the Zeocin screening procedure. The data demonstrated a direct correlation between the gene dosage and the levels of HBsAg expressed by the GAP clones. The effect of copy number was additive and the four copy clone resulted in about four-fold higher yield of HBsAg. The majority of HBsAg produced in the constitutive expression system was found to be of particulate form, based on sedimentation behaviour and particle-specific ELISA, suggesting that it has the potential to serve as an effective immunogen. These particles were sensitive to thiol reagents. We also explored the possibility of secreting the GAP expressed HBsAg in P. pastoris. In-frame fusion of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-factor secretion signal under the constitutive GAP promoter resulted in secretion of approximately 20 nm HBsAg particles as evidenced by electron microscopy. However, the levels of secreted HBsAg particles were very low, presumably due to the inherent hydrophobicity of the HBsAg molecule and the consequent propensity for membrane association. Our studies show that secretion is not a good strategy for expression of HBsAg in P. pastoris. The data also suggests that intracellular production of HBsAg under the GAP promoter using multicopy expression cassettes can indeed serve as an effective alternative to the AOX1 promoter. Further, the GAP promoter based system obviates the need to use and extensively monitor methanol during recombinant antigen production. Finally, this constitutive system has the potential for continuous culture wherein several batches of recombinant protein-containing biomass can be harvested from a single initial fermentation. 相似文献

重组毕赤酵母甲醇利用表型与基因拷贝数对外源基因表达的影响 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:5
毕赤酵母是目前最优秀的外源蛋白表达系统之一。本文着重对重组毕赤酵母甲醇利用表型(Mut+型、MutS型和Mut-型)、基因剂量对外源蛋白高效表达的影响机理进行综述。MutS型的比生长速率和蛋白产率比Mut+型低、发酵周期长、副产物(如乙醇、乙酸等)形成速率不同。外源基因拷贝数对外源蛋白的影响主要有三种情况:(1)高基因拷贝数对外源蛋白表达水平有明显的正效应作用;(2)基因拷贝数增加反而降低了表达水平,即负效应作用;(3)重组蛋白表达与基因剂正相关,之后则表现负相关关系,这可能与外源蛋白翻译后加工有关(如二硫键形成、折叠等),而与分子伴侣共表达可促进外源蛋白的高表达。 相似文献

In eukaryotes, secretory proteins are folded and assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Many heterologous proteins are retained in the ER due to suboptimal folding conditions. We previously reported that heterologous secretion of Pyrococcus furiosus beta-glucosidase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulted in the accumulation of a large fraction of inactive beta-glucosidase in the ER. In this work, we determine the effect of introducing additional genes of ER-resident yeast proteins, Kar2p (binding protein [BiP]) and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), on relieving this bottleneck. Single-copy expression of BiP and PDI worked synergistically to improve secretion by reverse similar 60%. In an effort to optimize BiP and PDI interactions, we created a library of beta-glucosidase expression strains that incorporated four combinations of constitutively or inducibly-expressed BiP and PDI genes integrated to random gene copynumbers in the yeast chromosome. Approximately 15% of the transformants screened had secretion level improvements higher than that seen with single BiP/PDI gene overexpression, and the highest secreting strain had threefold higher beta-glucosidase levels than the control. Nineteen of the improved strains were re-examined for beta-glucosidase secretion as well as BiP and PDI levels. Within the improved transformants BiP and PDI levels ranged sevenfold and tenfold over the control, respectively. Interestingly, increasing BiP levels decreased beta-glucosidase secretion, whereas increasing PDI levels increased beta-glucosidase secretion. The action of PDI was unexpected because beta-glucosidase is not a disulfide-bonded protein. We suggest that PDI may be acting in a chaperone-like capacity or possibly creating mixed disulfides with the beta-glucosidase's lone cysteine residue during the folding and assembly process. 相似文献

In Pichia pastoris, secretory proteins are folded and assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, upon introduction of foreign proteins, heterologous proteins are often retained in the cytoplasm or in the ER as a result of suboptimal folding conditions, leading to protein aggregation. The Hsp70 and Hsp40 chaperone families in the cytoplasm or in ER importantly regulate the folding and secretion of heterologous proteins. However, it is not clear which single chaperone is most important or which combination optimally cooperates in this process. In the present study we evaluated the role of the chaperones Kar2p, Sec63, YDJ1p, Ssa1p, and PDI from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We found that the introduction of Kar2p, Ssa1p, or PDI improves protein secretion 4-7 times. In addition, we found that the combination chaperones of YDJ1p/PDI, YDJ1p/Sec63, and Kar2p/PDI synergistically increase secretion levels 8.7, 7.6, and 6.5 times, respectively. Therefore, additional integration of chaperone genes can improve the secretory expression of the heterologous protein. Western blot experiments revealed that the chaperones partly relieved the secretion bottleneck resulting from foreign protein introduction in P. pastoris. Therefore, the findings from the present study demonstrate the presence of a network of chaperones in vivo, which may act synergistically to increase recombinant protein yields. 相似文献

The aim of the study was the identification, cloning and disruption of the GAS1 homologue of Pichia pastoris. Gas1p is a glycoprotein anchored to the outer layer of the plasma membrane through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. Gas1p is a beta-1,3-glucanosyltransglycosylase (EC 2.4.1.-). This cross-linking enzyme highly affects the structure and permeability of the yeast cell wall. The gene coding for the GAS1 homologue of P. pastoris was cloned by PCR, and its functionality was proven in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae GAS1 null mutant. Based on the nucleotide sequence information of the P. pastoris GAS1 homologue, a disruption cassette was constructed for the knockout of the GAS1 in P. pastoris. The morphology of DeltaGAS1 P. pastoris was identical to that of S. cerevisiae GAS1 mutants. Finally, the impact of GAS1 disruption on secretion of three recombinant model proteins in P. pastoris, human trypsinogen, human serum albumin and Rhizopus oryzae lipase, was evaluated. While the disruption had no effect on the secretion of trypsinogen and albumin, the amount of lipase released from the cells was doubled. 相似文献

Overexpression of an anti-CD3 immunotoxin increases expression and secretion of molecular chaperone BiP/Kar2p by Pichia pastoris 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We previously reported that the secretory capacity of Pichia pastoris is limited with respect to the secretion of a 96.5-kDa bivalent anti-CD3 immunotoxin; double-copy expression generated more translation products than single-copy expression but did not increase the secretion of the immunotoxin. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae heterologous protein secretion has been reported to increase the expression of molecular chaperones, most prominently BiP/Kar2p. We therefore investigated the relationships between immunotoxin secretion and Kar2p expression in P. pastoris. We found that expression of the immunotoxin in P. pastoris increased the expression of Kar2p to levels that surpassed the retrieval capacity of the cell, leading to secretion of Kar2p into the medium. The level of Kar2p secretion was correlated with the copy number of the immunotoxin gene. Intracellular Kar2p was found to bind exclusively to the unprocessed immunotoxin containing the prosequence of alpha-factor in the endoplasmic reticulum. These results show that Kar2p is intimately involved in immunotoxin secretion in P. pastoris. The limited capacity of P. pastoris to retain a sufficiently high level of intracellular Kar2p may be a factor restricting the production of the immunotoxin. 相似文献

We have screened a Hydra cDNA library for sequences encoding N-terminal signal peptides using the yeast invertase secretion vector pSUC [Jacobs et al., 1997. A genetic selection for isolating cDNAs encoding secreted proteins. Gene 198, 289–296]. We isolated and sequenced 907 positive clones; 88% encoded signal peptides; 12% lacked signal peptides. By searching the Hydra EST database we identified full-length sequences for the selected clones. These encoded 37 known proteins with signal peptides and 40 novel Hydra-specific proteins with signal peptides. Localization of two signal peptide-containing sequences, VEGF and ferritin, to the secretory pathway was confirmed with GFP fusion proteins. In addition, we isolated 105 clones which lacked signal peptides but which supported invertase secretion from yeast. Isolation of plasmids from these clones and retransformation in invertase-negative yeast cells confirmed the phenotype. A GFP fusion protein of one such clone encoding the foot morphogen pedibin was localized to the cytoplasm in transfected Hydra cells and did not enter the ER/Golgi secretory pathway. Secretion of pedibin and other proteins lacking signal peptides appears to occur by a non-classical protein secretion route. 相似文献

Effect of copy number on the expression levels of hepatitis B surface antigen in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
High-level expression and efficient assembly of hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg) has been reported in Pichia pastoris by integrating a single copy of the HBsAg gene under control of the AOX1 promoter. To fully utilize the expression potential of the P. pastoris expression system, we investigated the influence of gene copy number on the expression of HBsAg in this yeast. A panel of Pichia clones carrying progressively increasing copies of the heterologous gene expression cassette was created using an in vitro multimerization approach. Using this strategy, constructs containing up to a maximum of eight direct repeats of the HBsAg-expressing cassettes could be created. These expression cassettes were targeted for integration into the genome of the host strain GS115 with simultaneous elimination of the resident AOX1 gene. Deletion of the AOX1 gene was intended to create Mut(s) (methanol utilization slow) transformants that are known to have an increased ability to generate HBsAg in particulate form. A systematic investigation of the resultant clones demonstrated that the increase in copy number results in a proportional elevation in the steady-state levels of the HBsAg-specific mRNA, which in turn is closely paralleled by a corresponding increase in the total levels of the HBsAg protein. Virtually all the recombinant protein in the soluble fraction was present in the particulate form based on particle-specific ELISA and sedimentation behavior. Further, our studies also revealed the continued physical and functional integrity of the HBsAg-expressing cassettes during the course of an extended induction phase spanning 6 days. 相似文献

信号肽序列及其在蛋白质表达中的应用 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
信号肽在蛋白分泌的过程中起重要作用,分泌性蛋白质合成后由信号肽引导其穿过合成所在的细胞到其他组织细胞中。可以利用因特网在线工具和信号序列捕获系统来判定基因序列中是否含有信号肽序列。外源蛋白的表达形式多为细胞内不溶性表达(包涵体),少数为细胞外分泌表达。利用信号肽来引导外源蛋白分泌可避免因包涵体复性带来的困难。研究表明,多种外源基因连接上信号肽后在原核表达系统如大肠杆菌、L型细菌、芽孢杆菌和乳酸杆菌中等都得到了分泌表达;信号肽也广泛应用于真核表达系统如毕赤酵母和昆虫杆状病毒表达系统,以提高蛋白的表达量。 相似文献
