Identification of the P. pastoris FDH Gene

[0193] Library construction: Pichia pastoris strain GS115 (ATCC 20864) was grown in 10 ml of medium containing 1% Bacto yeast extract (DIFCO, Detroit, Mich.), 2% Bacto peptone (DIFCO), and 2% dextrose at 30° C. with vigorous shaking. After 24 hr, cells were harvested by centrifugation and chromosomal DNA prepared using the procedure described in Ausubel et al. (Eds.), 1981, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, vol. 2, section 13.11.2, John Wiley and Sons, New York, N.Y. DNA was cleaved with restriction endonucleases BamHI, EcoRI, HindIII, KpnI, and PstI under conditions recommended by the manufacturer (Promega, Madison, Wis.). Approximately 3 μg of each digested DNA was electrophoresed at 20 v for 18 hr through a 0.8% agarose gel in TAE buffer (0.04 M Trizma base, 0.02 M acetic acid, and 0.001 M EDTA, pH 8.3) containing 0.5 μg / ml ethidium bromide. Fragments were transferred to a Hybond N+ nylon filter (Amersham Pharmacia, Piscataway, N.J...

Subcloning and Expression of P. pastoris FDH Gene in E. coli

[0206] Subcloning: The P. pastoris FDH gene was subcloned into expression vector pBMS2000 (disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,068,991, issued May 30, 2000 to S. W. Liu et al.) as follows. Oligonucleotide primers containing the 5′ and 3′ end of the P. pastoris FDH gene along with compatible restriction endonuclease cleavage sites were prepared:

5′ TCGTCATGAAAATCGTTCTCGTTTTG 3′(5′ end; sense)      BspHI(SEQ ID NO: 14)5′ TACTGTTTTTCCAGCGTATTCCTAGGCT 3′(3′ end; anti-                        BamHIsense)(SEQ ID NO: 15)

[0207] High-fidelity PCR amplification of the P. pastoris FDH gene was carried out in four 100 ml aliquots, each containing 1× TaqPlus reaction buffer (Stratagene), 0.2 mM each deoxynucleotide triphosphate (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP), 0.4 nM each oligonucleotide, 2.5 U TaqPlus DNA polymerase (Stratagene), and 10 pg plasmid DNA containing the cloned P. pastoris FDH gene. The amplification conditions included incubation a...

Abstract

This invention relates to a recombinant Pichia pastoris formate dehydrogenase (FDH) enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide and the simultaneous reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to its reduced form (NADH). Also related are isolated nucleic acids encoding P. pastoris FDH polypeptides, and fragments and variants thereof, as well as vectors and host cells comprising these nucleic acids. Further related are isolated, recombinant P. pastoris FDH polypeptides, and fragments and variants thereof, and antibodies that specifically bind to P. pastoris FDH polypeptides, fragments, or variants. The invention also relates to methods of obtaining isolated P. pastoris FDH nucleic acids, polypeptides, and antibodies, and methods of using P. pastoris FDH in various reactions for industrial or pharmaceutical applications.
