Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of bioengineering, and in particular to a yeast genetic engineering bacterium for enhancing secretory expression of heterologous proteins and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Pichia pastoris, as a microorganism showing great potential in the field of biotechnology, has unique physiological characteristics and biological advantages that make it a preferred host for the production of exogenous proteins. The yeast can grow in an environment with methanol as the only carbon source and energy source. This feature not only simplifies the composition of the culture medium and reduces production costs, but also the amount of self-protein secreted by Pichia pastoris during growth is extremely low, making exogenous protein the main component of protein in the culture medium, greatly improving the purity of the target protein. This characteristic provides favorable conditions for the production of high-quality, high-purity protein products, especially in the fields of biopharmaceuticals and biotechnology, where the application value of Pichia pastoris is particularly outstanding.
[0003] The methanol-inducible promoter pAOX1 of Pichia pastoris is recognized as one of the most powerful promoters in eukaryotes. Its expression level can be precisely regulated by the methanol concentration, thereby achieving efficient induced expression of exogenous proteins. In addition, Pichia pastoris also has the ability of high-density fermentation and can reach high cell density in a short time, further improving production efficiency, which gives it a significant advantage in industrial-scale production. Therefore, Pichia pastoris is widely regarded as one of the most promising protein production hosts, especially in the production of therapeutic antibodies, enzyme preparations, vaccines and other biological drugs, and its application prospects are broad.
[0004] However, despite its excellent performance in protein production, Pichia pastoris still faces many challenges in expressing certain special proteins, especially complex enzymes such as glycosyltransferases. These challenges include but are not limited to insufficient expression levels, complete lack of protein expression, loss of activity due to the presence of proteins in inclusion bodies, and protein misfolding. These problems severely limit the scope of application of Pichia pastoris in the production of specific types of proteins, and also prompt researchers to continuously explore and optimize the protein expression system of Pichia pastoris.
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, genetic engineering technology has become a key means to improve the protein secretion and expression ability of Pichia pastoris. Through genetic engineering technology, Pichia pastoris can be transformed in a targeted manner and its protein expression path can be optimized. For example, through the multi-copy integration strategy of genes, the copy number of the target protein in the genome can be significantly increased, thereby improving the expression level of the protein. In addition, the introduction of specific protein tags, such as maltose binding protein (MBP), ubiquitin-like protein modifier (SUMO), thioredoxin (TrxA), etc., can not only increase the expression of the protein, but also promote the correct folding of the protein by improving the solubility and stability of the protein, and increase the yield of functional proteins. The application of these strategies provides an effective solution to overcome the difficulties encountered by Pichia pastoris in expressing complex proteins.
[0006] In addition to optimizing the number of gene copies and protein tags, integrating chaperone proteins is also an important way to improve the protein expression capacity of Pichia pastoris. Chaperone proteins, especially molecular chaperones, play a key role in promoting the correct folding and assembly of proteins in cells. By integrating these chaperone proteins in Pichia pastoris, the expression efficiency and secretion capacity of heterologous proteins can be significantly improved, especially for those proteins with complex structures and prone to misfolding. The introduction of chaperone proteins is particularly important. These chaperone proteins have a wide range of applicability and can act on a variety of proteins with significant differences in amino acid sequences to promote the formation of mature proteins with specific spatial structures and functions.
[0007] In summary, by genetically engineering Pichia pastoris and optimizing its protein expression system, we can not only effectively solve the problems encountered in expressing special proteins, but also further improve the protein yield and purity, and meet the demand for high-quality protein products in the fields of biopharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Summary of the invention

[0080] Application Example 1: Protein expression ability test and application of recombinant Pichia pastoris strains
[0081] Plasmid pPIC9K-pAOX1-tAOX1 (see Figure 4 ) was digested with restriction endonucleases EcoRI and NdeI, and the gene encoding glycosyltransferase EUGT11m was introduced, with Gene ID: 109208666, and transformed into Escherichia coli DH5α strain. The transformants were verified with primers AOX-CHECK-F and AOX-CHECK-R, and positive recombinants were screened to obtain the recombinant plasmid pPIC9K-pAOX1-EUGT11m-tAOX1 (plasmid map see Figure 1 ).
[0082] The plasmid pPIC9K-pAOX1-EUGT11m-tAOX1 was extracted, digested with the restriction endonuclease SalI, and transformed into the Pichia recombinant strain constructed in Example 1-6. After transformation, it was revived in 1 mol / L sorbitol for 4 h at 30°C and 250 rpm, spread on an SC plate, and cultured at 30°C. When a single colony grows, it is transferred to a YPD plate containing different concentrations of G418 and cultured at 30°C. Strains that grow well on YPD plates containing 2 g / L G418 were screened, and verified by primers AOX-CHECK-F and AOX-CHECK-R to obtain strains 9-16 (different chaperone protein chassis strains express glycosyltransferase EUGT11m respectively).
[0083] The expression and enzyme activity of the glycosyltransferase EUGT11m of the above strain 9-16 were determined as follows:
[0084] (1) Shake flask culture method of strain 9-16
[0085] After the strains 9-16 in the above examples were activated on YPD plates, single colonies were picked and inoculated into 5 mL YPD test tubes, cultured at 30°C, 250 rpm for 16-20 h, inoculated into 50 mL BMGY medium at 1% (v / v) inoculum, and cultured at 30°C, 250 rpm for 24 h. Centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 5 min, collected the cells, discarded the supernatant, and washed twice. All the cells were transferred to 50 mL BMMY medium, fermented at 30°C, 250 rpm for 4 days, and 1% (v / v) methanol was added every 24 h.
[0086] (2) Enzyme activity detection based on glycosyltransferase EUGT11m
[0087] The supernatant of Pichia pastoris fermentation broth (containing glycosyltransferase EUGT11m) was added to the enzyme reaction system, with a total system of 500 μL, including components and final concentrations of 50 mmol / L pH 8.0 potassium phosphate buffer, 1 mmol / L rebaudioside A, 2 mmol / L UDP-G, and 3 mmol / L MgCl2. The remaining volume was made up with the fermentation supernatant and reacted at 35°C for 24 h.
[0088] (3) Rebaudioside A detection method
[0089] Sample treatment: Take 100 μL of the catalytic reaction solution in step (2), add 900 μL of methanol, centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 5 min, take the supernatant and filter it through a 0.22 μm nylon filter membrane for HPLC detection.
[0090] HPLC detection conditions: ShimNex CS C18 (5μm, 4.6×250 mm) chromatographic column, column temperature controlled at 35°C, detection wavelength 210nm, injection volume 10μL. Chromatographic conditions: mobile phase A is pH 2.6 phosphoric acid solution, mobile phase B is acetonitrile, 0-5min, 10%-25% B; 5-25min, 25%-40% B; 25-35min, 40% B; 35-36min, 40%-10% B; 36-40min, 10% B.
[0091] Experimental results ( Figure 3 ) in the in vitro enzyme catalytic conversion experiment conducted in, rebaudioside A (RA) was converted into rebaudioside D (RD) under the catalysis of glycosyltransferase EUGT11m. Therefore, the experimental results in Figure 3 show that the less the amount of RA remaining as a reaction substrate in the system after the enzyme catalytic reaction, the higher the expression level of glycosyltransferase EUGT11m, otherwise there is no expression or the expression level is low.
[0092] The results showed that the constructed Pichia pastoris recombinant strain chassis cell strain 11 had the highest conversion efficiency for the substrate rebaudioside A, so the expression level of glycosyltransferase EUGT11m of strain 11 was the highest, verifying that chassis strain 3 can increase the secretory expression of heterologous proteins in Pichia pastoris and that the proteins it expresses have biological functions.
