Problems solved by technology

However, it is difficult to obtain a certain amount of purified conotoxins, which seriously restricts its related pharmacological research and application.
[0004] At present, chemical synthesis is the main way to obtain conotoxins, but the cost of artificially synthesizing conotoxins is very high, which cannot fully meet the requirements for commercial production of drugs and the research on related pharmacological activities

Embodiment 1

[0027] CalTx total gene synthesis

[0028] According to the CalTx protein sequence (NCPAGCRSQGCCM), optimize the codon gene fragments preferred by yeast. Restriction enzyme sites were introduced at both ends of the gene sequence Sph I. Stu I, synthetic primers are shown in Table 1. Take 5uL each of the corresponding upstream and downstream primers (100 µmol / L), add 40uL sterile water, and mix well. Denature at 98°C for 1 min, stop the reaction immediately, cool down naturally on the PCR machine, and then place it on ice for 10 min. that is completed separately CalTx total gene synthesis. -20 Store in the refrigerator.

[0032] (1) Transform the pPink-HC plasmid: first insert the secretion signal a-mating factor into the EcoR I and Sph I double-enzyme-digested plasmid pPink-HC, transforming the plasmid into a secretory expression plasmid pPink-HC-MF; followed by adding sfGFP as a screening signal. The specific operation is to insert the PCR-amplified sfGFP into the Stu I and Fse From the pPink-HC-MF digested with I double enzymes, pPink-HC-MF-GFP was successfully constructed; the sequences of a-mating factor and sfGFP were as follows:

[0040] Induced expression and detection of recombinant yeast

[0041] Mix 80 ul prb1 and pep4 dual protease-deficient Pichia competent cells with 5 µg EcoN After the linearized plasmids were mixed, they were transferred to an electroporation cup and kept in an ice bath for 5 minutes. Immediately after the electric shock, add 1ml of YPDS to the electric cup, shake it up and down to mix. Incubate at 28°C for 2h. After mixing evenly, pipette 300 µl of the bacterial solution and spread it on the PAD plate, and incubate at 28°C for 3-7 days. Pick 3-8 white single clones with large colonies, streak on the surface of the PAD plate again, culture at 28°C for 3-7 days, and transfer the constructed expression plasmid into PichiaPink Strain 4. Pick a single colony and incubate at 30°C with shaking at 280rpm. Culture bacteria concentration to OD 600 =2~6, replaced with BMMY medium. Every 24h, add methanol to a final concentration of 0.5wt%. After fermenting for 120 hours, the col...

Abstract

The invention discloses a biological preparation method for expressing conotoxin by yeast. The conotoxin mature peptide gene is optimized according to the genetic code preference of Pichia pastoris, and the artificially synthesized mature peptide gene is cloned into an expression vector with sfGFP, and then transformed into yeast to obtain a yeast engineering strain expressing conotoxin , to prepare conotoxin. The yeast expression system adopted in the present invention expresses the conotoxin with biological activity, has high safety, and the expression product can be used as a potential drug for neurological and other diseases, and has the advantages of low production cost and large-scale production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for the biosynthesis of conotoxin, in particular to the field of expression and preparation of conotoxin Pichia pastoris yeast, and belongs to the field of genetic engineering preparation of conotoxin. Background technique [0002] Conotoxins (Conotoxins), also known as Conopeptides, are active peptides in the venom that cone snails shoot out through the radula in their proboscis. Most conotoxins consist of 8-86 amino acid residues and are rich in disulfide bonds, including the smallest neuropeptide toxins discovered so far. The venom of each cone snail contains 100-200 different toxins, which can selectively act on sodium, potassium, calcium and other ion channels and receptors of neurotransmitters on the cell membrane, and interfere with the neurotransmitter receptors in nerves or other cells. signaling. [0003] Conotoxins can not only be used as clinical drugs or new drug-oriented compounds, but also provide valu...
