Problems solved by technology

[0005] Despite rapid cell death, plasmids containing antibiotic resistance genes could still be accidentally disposed of in the environment, and if the plasmids were taken up naturally, there is a theoretical risk that antibiotic resistance would be introduced in the bacteria

Embodiment 1

[0055] The yeast plasmid pAK729 constructed to express insulin precursor (an N-terminally extended B(1-29)-Ala-Ala-Lys-A(1-21) insulin precursor, see WO 97 / 22706) contains two ApaLI enzyme restriction sites ApaLI (4477) and ApaLI (5723) (see attached figure 1 ). These restriction sites are located on each side of the AMP marker gene. Removal of the 1246 nucleotides between the two AplaLI sites in pAK729 will remove the AMP marker gene and some additional E. coli-derived plasmid DNA.

[0056]The pAK729 plasmid was digested with ApaLI restriction enzyme, subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis, separated, re-ligated and then transformed into competent Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells (MT663, see EPB0163529) to obtain transformed yeast strain NN729.1-ΔAMP. The modified expression plasmid was re-isolated from the yeast strain NN729.1-ΔAMP and the DNA sequence was checked after PCR, and then the DNA region characterized by the deletion was subcloned. Similarly, the DNA sequence encodin...

Embodiment 2

[0059] The restriction sites XhoI (5676) and XhoI (5720) of the enzyme were introduced into the pAK729 plasmid by PCR. The selected DNA sequence of the resulting pAK729.5 plasmid was then checked. The restriction plasmid map of pAK729.5 is shown in Figure 2. The DNA fragment between the restriction enzyme sites XhoI (5676) and XhoI (5720) can be deleted from the plasmid pAK729.5 in which 44 nucleotides in the AMP gene are deleted.

[0060] The plasmid pAK729.5 was digested with XhoI restriction enzyme, subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis, separated, re-ligated, and then transformed into competent Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, thereby obtaining the yeast transformant NN729.5-ΔAMP. The modified expression plasmid was re-isolated from the yeast strain NN729.5-ΔAMP and the DNA sequence was checked after PCR, and then the DNA region characterized by deletion was subcloned. Similarly, the DNA sequence encoding the insulin precursor was tested on the plasmid DNA re-isolated from t...

Embodiment 3

[0063] The restriction site AatII (4982) of the enzyme was introduced into the pAK729 plasmid by PCR. The selected DNA sequence of the resulting pAK729.6 plasmid was then checked. The restriction plasmid map of pAK729.6 is shown in Figure 3. In pAK729.6, the DNA fragment between the restriction enzyme sites AatII (4982) and AatII (5978) can be deleted, thereby removing 996 nucleotides from the plasmid. This can remove all AMP genes and promoters.

[0064] The pAK729.6 plasmid was digested with DNA restriction enzyme AatII, subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis, separated, re-ligated and then transformed into competent MT663 Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. The modified expression plasmid was re-isolated from the yeast strain NN729.6-ΔAMP and the DNA sequence was checked after PCR, and then the DNA region characterized by deletion was subcloned. Similarly, the DNA sequence encoding the insulin precursor was tested on the plasmid DNA re-isolated from the yeast strain NN729.6-ΔAMP....

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for expressing heterologous proteins or polypeptides in yeast by culturing a transformed yeast strain which does not contain a functional antibiotic resistance marker gene.

Description

Invention field [0001] The present invention relates to protein expression in transformed yeast cells, DNA constructs and vectors used in the process, and yeast cells transformed with the vectors. Background of the invention [0002] It is well known to use transformed yeast strains to express proteins, see for example European patent applications 0088632A, 0116201A, 0123294A, 0123544A, 0163529A, 0123289A, 0100561A, 0189998A and 0195986A, PCT patent applications WO 95 / 01421, 95 / 02059 and WO 90 / 10075 and US Patent 4,546,082. [0003] The common feature of the above methods is that the yeast production plasmid contains genes for antibiotic markers. Such a marker gene is produced by an initial cloning step in E. coli, where it is used to screen transformed cells or maintain a plasmid as a vector. It is believed that the antibiotic marker gene does not have any adverse effect on the culture of transformed yeast cells, so it is common practice not to take any steps to delete such DNA....
