人胸腺素α1基因在毕赤酵母中的融合表达

根据已知人胸腺素1（human Thymosin α1,hTα1）的氨基酸序列和毕赤酵母偏爱密码子，人工合成了hTα1基因。用合成的hTα1基因取代核糖体蛋白（ribosomal protein，RP）基因5′端的84个碱基，组成重组基因hTα1-RP，连接到质粒pPIC3.5K上，构建表达质粒pPIC3.5K/hTα1-RP。表达质粒用电激法转化到毕赤酵母GS115菌株中。甲醇诱导表达融合蛋白，SDS-PAGE和Western印迹结果证明，重组基因hTα1-RP在酵母中得到了表达，表达量约为25mg/L。 Construction and Expression of Recombinant Human Thymosin α1 Fusion Gene in Pichia pastoris HUANG Wen,LI Zhao-yu,JIN Li-ji,AN Li-jia Abstract:The human Thymosin α1 (hTα1) gene was synthesized according to the optimal codons of Pichia pastoris and was fused in 5' terminal of ribosomal protein (RP) gene using over lapping polymerase chain reaction.The fusion gene was inserted into expression vector of pPIC3.5K and was transformed into HIS4 mutant strain GS115 by electroporation.Both SDS-PAGE and Western blot indicated that this fusion protein was expressed.The expression level was about 25mg/L.
