Embodiment 9

[0094] Example 9 shows that after the first purification step as in Example 7, the collected pool contains almost equal amounts of products with and without C-terminal tyrosine product of. Terminal tyrosine residues are gradually removed during processing. After the second chromatographic purification step, the C-terminal tyrosine was almost completely deleted for most proteinaceous materials. A possible but unproven explanation is therefore that the host organism used to express and secrete the product produces the protein with carboxypeptidase Y activity. Carboxypeptidase Y is known from Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the ability to cleave the C-terminal amino acid with broad specificity. Although carboxypeptidase Y is known to be a vacuolar enzyme (Kato, M. et al., Eur. J. Biochem 270 (2003) 4587-4593), lysed yeast cells can significantly increase carboxypeptidase in the fermentation medium. Y activity. However, since removal of the C-terminal tyrosine did not alter the ...

[0110] Synthesis of genes encoding precursor proteins

[0111] DNA manipulation techniques were carried out according to standard protocols (Sambrook, Fritsh & Maniatis, Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 3 rd Edition, CSHL Press, 2001). Reagents used in molecular biology experiments were used according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

[0112] A nucleotide sequence encoding artificial preprocarboxypeptidase B gene as shown in SEQ ID NO:3 was re-synthesized. Several parts of the nucleotide sequence were synthesized as 24 single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides ranging in length from 54 to 90 nucleotides. The single-stranded oligonucleotide represents an alternating overlapping portion of the leading and lagging strands of SEQ ID NO:3. Each oligonucleotide was designed such that its 5' and 3' ends overlapped adjacent oligonucleotides. As an exception, oligonucleotides representing the 5' and 3' ends of SEQ ID NO: 3 only overlap the 5' and 3' ends of their adjacent ...

[0118] Vector construction, transformation, expression

[0119] For the construction of the expression vector, transformation, expression of the precursor protein and secretion of histidine-tagged procarboxypeptidase B in the growth medium, the "Pichia Yeast Expression Kit" model M 011102 25 described in the Invitrogen brochure was used -0043, "pPICZ A, B, and C" model D 110801 25-0148, "pPECZα A, B, and C" model E 01030225-0150, and "pPIC9K" model E030402 25-0106 to perform experiments. Reference is also made to other vectors, yeast strains and media mentioned herein. At the same time, such as Sambrook, Fritsh&Maniatis, Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 3 rd Edition, CSHL Press, 2001 describes the basic molecular biology methods.

[0120] As a result, a number of vectors were obtained, each of which contained an expression cassette capable of expressing the precursor protein shown in SEQ ID NO:4 among the methylotrophic yeast strains. A preferred yeast strain is a P...

Abstract

The invention provides a method to produce a protein with carboxypeptidase B activity from a pro-carboxypeptidase B zymogen, derived from a non-animal host organism. Carboxypeptidase B is activated from the zymogen using non-denaturing conditions. Particularly, the activation is performed under conditions that avoid unwanted non-covalent binding of the propeptide to the activated carboxypeptidase B enzyme.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology. More particularly, the present invention relates to the production and further processing of an enzymatically inactive precursor of a protein having carboxypeptidase B activity. One aspect of the invention relates to the activation and concomitant purification of a protein having carboxypeptidase B activity. Background technique [0002] Carboxypeptidase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes the C-terminal peptide bond. The carboxypeptidase family includes metallo, serine, and cysteine ​​carboxypeptidases. Depending on their substrate specificity, these enzymes are called carboxypeptidase A (cleaves aliphatic residues) or carboxypeptidase B (cleaves basic amino acid residues). Carboxypeptidase B (EC3.4.17.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the basic amino acids, lysine, arginine, and ornithine, from the C-terminal position of polypeptides: [0003] <chemistry num="001"> <c...
