EF-1 is a novel peptide derived from two bacteriocins, plantaricin E and plantaricin F. It has a strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and with negligible hemolytic effect on red blood cells. However, the chemical synthesis of EF-1 is limited by its high cost. In this study, we established a heterologous expression of EF-1 in Pichia pastoris. The transgenic strain successfully expressed hybrid EF-1 peptide, which had a molecular weight of ~5 kDa as expected. The recombinant EF-1 was purified by Ni2+ affinity chromatography and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), which achieved a yield of 32.65 mg/L with a purity of 94.9%. The purified EF-1 exhibited strong antimicrobial and bactericidal activities against both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. Furthermore, propidium iodide staining and scanning electron microscopy revealed that EF-1 can directly induce cell membrane permeabilization of E. coli. Therefore, the hybrid EF-1 not only preserves the individual properties of the parent peptides, but also acquires the ability to disrupt Gram-negative bacterial membrane. Meanwhile, such an expression system can reduce both the time and cost for large-scale peptide production, which ensures its potential application at the industrial level.

The limited amount of fusion protein transported into cytosol milieu has made it challenging to obtain a sufficient amount for further applications. To avoid the laborious and expensive task, T7 promoter-driving pET-30a(+) coding for chimeric gene of thymidine phosphorylase and core streptavidin as a model system was constructed and transformed into a variety of E. coli strains with T7 expression system. Our results demonstrated that the pET-30a(+)-TP-coreSA/Lemo21(DE3) system is able to provide efficient expression of soluble TP-coreSA fusion protein for purification. Moreover, the eluted TP-coreSA fusion protein tethered on biotinylated A549 carcinoma cells could effectively eliminate these malignant cells after administrating prodrug 5′-DFUR.

The Effects of Variation in Methanol Concentration and Induction Time on Intracellular Proinsulin Expression by Pichia pastoris ABSTRACTDiabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. There were 215 million diabetic patients in 2014 and the number is expected to rise in 2040. Generally, insulin is used to treat diabetic patients. Insulin production by recombinant technology has been done, though still inefficient, by using E. coli and S. cerevisiae expression system. Another alternative expression system is methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. In this research, proinsulin has been expressed by P. pastoris intracellularly. P. pastoris strains used in this research were X33, GS115, and KM71H. All recombinant strains were MutS. Best cultivation media was BMGY. Proinsulin expression was observed at 25°C. Pichia pastoris strain that expressed proinsulin best was GS115-PI. It was supported by PCR in which the strain GS115-PI gave 504 bp-sized bands. Based on proinsulin formation time, the final methanol concentration of 0.5% in 72 hours was found to be the best treatment.Keywords: BMGY, methanol, phenotype, Pichia pastoris, proinsulin ABSTRAKDiabetes melitus merupakan kelainan yang ditandai dengan hiperglikemia.

An efficient expression system for recombinant human collagens will have numerous scientific and medical applications. However, most recombinant systems are unsuitable for this purpose, as they do not have sufficient prolyl 4-hydroxylase activity. We have developed methods for producing the three major fibril-forming human collagens, types I, II and III, in the methyl-otrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. These methods are based on co-expression of procollagen polypeptide chains with the α- and β-subunits of prolyl 4-hydroxylase. The triple-helical type-I, -II and -III procollagens were found to accumulate predominantly within the endoplasmic reticulum of the yeast cells and could be purified from the cell lysates by a procedure that included a pepsin treatment to convert the procollagens into collagens and to digest most of the non-collagenous proteins. All the purified recombinant collagens were identical in 4-hydroxyproline content with the corresponding non-recombinant human proteins, and all the recombinant collagens formed native-type fibrils. The expression levels using single-copy integrants and a 2 litre bioreactor ranged from 0.2 to 0.6 g/l depending on the collagen type.

ABSTRACTBacillus thuringiensisCry1AbMod toxins are engineered versions of Cry1Ab that lack the amino-terminal end, including domain I helix α-1 and part of helix α-2. This deletion improves oligomerization of these toxins in solution in the absence of cadherin receptor and counters resistance to Cry1A toxins in different lepidopteran insects, suggesting that oligomerization plays a major role in their toxicity. However, Cry1AbMod toxins are toxic toEscherichia colicells, since thecry1Apromoter that drives its expression inB. thuringiensishas readthrough expression activity inE. coli, making difficult the construction of these CryMod toxins. In this work, we show that Cry1AbMod and Cry1AcMod toxins can be cloned efficiently under regulation of thecry3Apromoter region to drive its expression inB. thuringiensiswithout expression inE. colicells. However, p3A-Cry1Ab(c)Mod construction promotes the formation of Cry1AMod crystals inB. thuringiensiscells that were not soluble at pH 10.5 and showed no toxicity toPlutella xylostellalarvae. Cysteine residues in the protoxin carboxyl-terminal end of Cry1A toxins have been shown to be involved in disulfide bond formation, which is important for crystallization. Six individual cysteine substitutions for serine residues were constructed in the carboxyl-terminal protoxin end of the p3A-Cry1AbMod construct and one in the carboxyl-terminal protoxin end of p3A-Cry1AcMod. Interestingly, p3A-Cry1AbMod C654S and C729S and p3A-Cry1AcMod C730S recover crystal solubility at pH 10.5 and toxicity toP. xylostella. These results show that combining thecry3Apromoter expression system with single cysteine mutations is a useful system for efficient expression of Cry1AMod toxins inB. thuringiensis.

ABSTRACT Recombinant apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) is a leading vaccine candidate for Plasmodium falciparum malaria, as antibodies against recombinant P. falciparum AMA1 (PfAMA1) interrupt merozoite invasion into erythrocytes. In order to investigate the role of posttranslational modification in modulating the functional immune response to recombinant AMA1, two separate alleles of PfAMA1 (FVO and 3D7), in which native N-glycosylation sites have been mutated, were produced using Escherichia coli and a Pichia pastoris expression system. Recombinant Pichia pastoris AMA1-FVO (PpAMA1-FVO) and PpAMA1-3D7 are O-linked glycosylated, and 45% of PpAMA1-3D7 is nicked, though all four recombinant molecules react with conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies. To address the immunological effect of O-linked glycosylation, we compared the immunogenicity of E. coli AMA1-FVO (EcAMA1-FVO) and PpAMA1-FVO antigens, since both molecules are intact. The effect of antigen nicking was then investigated by comparing the immunogenicity of EcAMA1-3D7 and PpAMA1-3D7. Our data demonstrate that there is no significant difference in the rabbit antibody titer elicited towards EcAMA1-FVO and PpAMA1-FVO or to EcAMA1-3D7 and PpAMA1-3D7. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that recombinant AMA1 (FVO or 3D7), whether expressed and refolded from E. coli or produced from the Pichia expression system, is equivalent and mimics the functionality of the native protein in in vitro growth inhibition assay experiments. We conclude that in the case of recombinant AMA1, the E. coli- and P. pastoris-derived antigens are immunologically and functionally equivalent and are unaffected by the posttranslational modification resulting from expression in these two systems.

Pichia Pastoris Expression System

The main goal of the current study was cloning and expression of the human insulin gene in Pichia pastoris expression system, using genetic engineering techniques and its treatment application. Total RNA was purified from fresh normal human pancreatic tissue. RNA of good quality was chosen to obtain a first single strand cDNA. Human preproinsulin gene was amplified from cDNA strand, by using two sets of specific primers contain EcoR1 and Notl restriction sites. The amplified preproinsulin gene fragment was double digested with EcoRI and Not 1 restriction enzymes, then inserted into pPIC9K expression vector. The new pPIC9K-hpi constructive expression vector was transformed by the heat-shock method into the E.coli DH5α competent cells. pPic9k –hpi, which was propagated in the positive transformant E. coli cells, was isolated from cells and then linearised by restriction enzyme SalI, then transformed into Pichia pastoris GS115 using electroporation method. Genomic DNA of His+ transformants cell was extracted and used as a template for PCR analysis. The results showed, that the pPic9k – hpi was successfully integrated into the P. pastoris genome, for selected His+ transformants clones on the anticipated band at 330 bp, which is corresponded to the theoretical molecular size of the human insulin gene. To follow the insulin expression in transformans, Tricine–SDS gel electrophoresis and Western blot analysis were conducted. The results showed a successful expression of recombinant protein was detected by the presence of a single major band with about (5.8 KDa) on the gel. These bands correspond well with the size of human insulin with the theoretical molecular weight (5.8 KDa).

Abstract Background Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are attracting large attention due their ability to degrade recalcitrant polysaccharides in biomass conversion and to perform powerful redox chemistry. Results We have established a universal Pichia pastoris platform for the expression of fungal LPMOs using state-of-the-art recombination cloning and modern molecular biological tools to achieve high yields from shake-flask cultivation and simple tag-less single-step purification. Yields are very favorable with up to 42 mg per liter medium for four different LPMOs spanning three different families. Moreover, we report for the first time of a yeast-originating signal peptide from the dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide-protein glycosyltransferase subunit 1 (OST1) form S. cerevisiae efficiently secreting and successfully processes the N-terminus of LPMOs yielding in fully functional enzymes. Conclusion The work demonstrates that the industrially most relevant expression host P. pastoris can be used to express fungal LPMOs from different families in high yields and inherent purity. The presented protocols are standardized and require little equipment with an additional advantage with short cultivation periods.
