Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a recombinant engineering bacterium for preparing recombinant bovine albumin and its application. Background Art
[0002] Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is an abundant plasma protein and is widely used in the fields of biology and biomedical research. In cell culture, BSA is commonly used as one of the important components of cell culture media, providing nutrients and growth factors required by cells. In the pharmaceutical field, BSA can also be used to transport and stabilize bioactive molecules and as a carrier for drug delivery systems. By binding to drugs and promoting their transport and release, it can improve the stability and bioavailability of drugs. Many studies have shown that BSA can be structurally modified or combined with different biomaterials, and it can support cell attachment, tissue formation, and healing. Therefore, it has become a multifunctional drug carrier and scaffold. Related new therapeutic strategies will greatly benefit from more in-depth research. And BSA has a wide source and low price (the market price is only 1 / 10 - 1 / 5 of human serum albumin (HSA)), so it has a more extensive application prospect in the pharmaceutical field.
[0003] Currently, the BSA on the market mainly comes from bovine serum, which has the risk of potential pathogen contamination, and factors such as different cattle herds, feeding conditions, and seasons lead to fluctuations in serum components, affecting the repeatability of experiments and bringing certain inconveniences to the use of BSA. Currently, there is an urgent need for a method for quickly and efficiently producing stable bovine serum albumin.
[0004] The heterologous expression of proteins is of great significance in various biopharmaceutical industries and industrial applications. As one of the most successful eukaryotic protein expression systems, Pichia pastoris has experienced rapid development and received extensive attention in the past 20 years, generating huge economic and social value. Currently, the main methods for highly expressing foreign proteins mainly include foreign gene modification, strain modification, and fermentation level optimization. (Zhu Wen, Hu Youjia, Xie Liping. Related strategies and research progress of highly expressing foreign proteins in Pichia pastoris [J], Chinese Journal of Pharmaceuticals 2018, 49(4): 417 - 425). These optimizations of Pichia pastoris provide a basis for highly expressing bovine albumin. Summary of the Invention

Example 1: Construction of recombinant bovine albumin Pichia pastoris strain The nucleic acid molecule encoding the mating factor signal peptide of Saccharomyces cerevisiae a (SEQ ID NO.11) and the nucleic acid molecule encoding recombinant bovine albumin (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.10) were directly synthesized by a biological company, and the kanamycin resistance gene was changed to the geneticin G418 resistance gene (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.12), and then ligated into the plasmid pPIC9K digested with the restriction enzyme sites EcoRI and NotI to form an expression vector, named pPIC9K-rBHA (as Figure 1 shown).
[0043] The expression vector was linearized using the DNA restriction enzyme NotI (the digestion system is shown in Table 1), electrotransformed into Pichia pastoris X-33, incubated at 30 °C for 2 h, and then spread on a YPDK plate containing 50 μg / mL kanamycin. After culturing at 28 °C for 48 - 72 h, a sterile water scraper was added and spread on a YPD plate containing 250 μg / mL G418. After culturing at 28 °C for 48 - 72 h. Positive monoclonal clones were screened for subsequent expression. The X-33 strain screened on the YPD plate was picked with a sterilized 10 μL pipette tip for the expression of rBSA, and the expression level of recombinant bovine albumin was determined by SDS-PAGE after shake flask culture.
[0044] Flask culture procedure: Recombinant engineering bacteria were separately inoculated into 100 mL of BMGY medium and cultured at 28 °C and 210 rpm until OD 600 = 1.0. 1 mL of the bacterial solution was taken for subsequent SDS-PAGE analysis. All the bacterial solution was collected, centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 min at room temperature, the supernatant was discarded aseptically, 100 mL of BMMY medium was added to fully suspend the bacterial cells, and the cells were cultured at 28 °C and 220 rpm. A certain amount of methanol was added every 24 h to keep the methanol concentration constant at 0.5%. After 72 h, the cells were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant was collected.
[0045] Table 1
[0046] Example 2: Determination of the copy number of recombinant bovine albumin The copy number of recombinant bovine albumin was calculated by qPCR (real-time quantitative PCR): Five recombinant engineering bacteria with high expression levels of recombinant bovine albumin prepared in Example 1 were selected, and the DNA of the test strains was prepared using a yeast genomic DNA extraction kit (TIANGEN DP325) to ensure the purity (A 260 / A 280 ≈ 1.8 - 2.0) and concentration (≥ 50 ng / μL). Primers were designed for the gene sequence of the target gene recombinant bovine albumin (rBSA) in the pPIC9K vector (SEQ ID NO.10) and the single-copy gene GAPDH gene of Pichia pastoris. The primer sequences are shown in Table 2. rBSA and GAPDH were cloned into the same vector to construct a plasmid containing the target gene and the internal reference gene, and were serially diluted (10 9 -10 6 copies / μL) as the standard. The qPCR amplification system is shown in Table 3.
[0047] Table 2
[0048] Table 3
[0049] Amplification program: Pre-denaturation at 95 °C for 5 min → 40 cycles (95 °C for 30 s → 60 °C for 30 s → 72 °C for 30 s) → Melting curve analysis. The copy number of rBSA was obtained by calculating the ratio of the copy numbers of the target gene and the internal reference gene according to the standard curve.
[0050] The corresponding results of the yields and copy numbers of the recombinant engineering bacteria with higher yields are shown in Table 4.
[0051] Table 4
[0052] As can be seen from Table 4, when the copy number is 4 - 7, the expression levels of the strains are not significantly different. When the copy number exceeds 5, the yield no longer increases significantly and even decreases. It is speculated that this may be due to the retention of excessive proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus, triggering the unfolded protein response and resulting in blockage of the secretion pathway. To solve this problem, the present invention further modifies the recombinant engineering bacterium 4, overexpresses genes related to protein folding, and simultaneously knocks out protease-related genes to inhibit the degradation of recombinant bovine albumin.
[0053] Example 3: Construction of vectors lacking protease degradation genes MKC7 and ULP1 Using the EasyGeno seamless cloning kit, the Pichia pastoris MKC7 gene deletion vector pPICZαA-ΔMKC7 was constructed by amplifying the Pichia pastoris genomic DNA. In this process, the Zeocin resistance gene was replaced with the blasticidin resistance gene (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.13). The steps for constructing pPICZαA-ΔMKC7 were entrusted to a biological company. The primer sequences are shown in Table 5. After the amplified pPICZαA-ΔMKC7 vector was digested with BamH I single restriction enzyme and then treated with alkaline phosphatase to purify the linear vector, the purified pPICZαA-ΔMKC7 linear vector was obtained. The linear vector pPICZαA-ΔMKC7 was ligated by seamless cloning according to the EasyGeno kit instructions and then heat-shock transformed into DH5α, and the transformed cells were spread on LB plates containing blasticidin (25 μg / mL) to screen for positive transformants. The obtained positive transformants were used to transform pPICZαA-ΔMKC7 into the recombinant engineering bacterium 4 by electroporation, and clones resistant to blasticidin (500 μg / mL) were screened to obtain the recombinant engineering bacterium 6.
[0054] The PCR amplification system is the same as shown in Table 5. The specific nucleotide sequences of the upstream and downstream primers are shown in Table 5. The EasyGeno seamless cloning system is shown in Table 6.
[0055] Table 5
[0056] Table 6
[0057] The EasyGeno seamless cloning kit was used to amplify the genomic DNA of Pichia pastoris to construct the Pichia pastoris ULP1 gene deletion vector pPICZαA-ΔULP1, in which the Zeocin resistance gene was replaced with the blasticidin resistance gene (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.13). The steps of constructing pPICZαA-ΔULP1 were entrusted to a biological company. The amplified pPICZαA-ΔULP1 vector was digested with the single restriction enzyme BamH I and then alkaline phosphatase was added to purify the linear vector to obtain the pPICZαA-ΔULP1 linear vector. The linear vector pPICZαA-ΔULP1 was ligated by seamless cloning according to the EasyGeno kit instructions and then heat-shock transformed into DH5α, and the cells were spread on an LB plate containing blasticidin (25 μg / mL) to screen for positive transformants. The obtained positive transformants were used to transform pPICZαA-ΔULP1 into the recombinant engineering strain 6 by electroporation, and blasticidin (500 μg / mL) resistant clones were screened to obtain the recombinant engineering strain 7.
[0058] Example 4: Construction of Protein Folding Gene PDI-2 and SHR3 Expression Strains A biological company was entrusted to synthesize the recombinant expression cassettes encoding the PDI-2 gene (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.6, and the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.5) and the SHR3 gene (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.8, and the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.7) respectively, and the recombinant expression cassettes were ligated into the plasmid pGAPZA (containing the Zeocin resistance gene) to construct expression vectors, named pART1-1 and pART1-2 respectively. The recombinant expression cassettes encoding the two genes PDI-2 and SHR3 were ligated into the same plasmid pGAPZA (containing the Zeocin resistance gene) to construct an expression vector, named pART1-3.
[0059] The expression vectors pART1-1, pART1-2, and pART1-3 were linearized using the DNA restriction enzyme BgI II, and then electrotransformed into the recombinant engineering strain 7 respectively. The cells were spread on the selective plate YPDG containing Zeocin and cultured at 28 °C until colonies appeared. The positive transformants were identified by colony PCR as the recombinant engineering strains 8-10, and the specific information is shown in Table 7.
[0060] Table 7
[0061] Example 5: Expression Level of Recombinant Bovine Albumin in Recombinant Engineering Strains 5L Fermenter Culture: Recombinant engineering bacteria 4 and recombinant engineering bacteria 6 - 10 were separately inoculated into 100 mL of BMGY medium and cultured at 28 °C and 210 rpm for 16 - 24 h, then transferred to 500 mL of BMGY medium (inoculation ratio 1:10) and cultured until OD 600 = 3.0. Add 2 - 3 L of BMGY (volume not exceeding 60%) to the 5L tank and adjust the pH to 6.0. Autoclave at 121 °C for 20 minutes. After cooling, connect the pH and DO electrodes and calibrate (pH with 4.0 and 6.86 standard buffer solutions; DO electrode calibrated 100% with saturated air). Temperature: 28 - 30 °C, initial stirring: 300 - 500 rpm, ventilation rate: 0.5 - 1.0 vvm (volume ratio / minute), pH: automatically controlled (adjusted with 28% ammonia water or 25% phosphoric acid, target pH 5.0). Inoculate the seed liquid into the fermenter at an inoculation amount of 10% and culture for 18 - 24 h, then supplement 50% glycerol at a rate of 90 mL / h to maintain DO ≥ 20% until the wet cell weight reaches 200 g / L. Drain the remaining glycerol, add BMMY medium and culture at 28 °C, add methanol to a final concentration of 0.5%, and culture at 220 rpm. Add a certain amount of methanol every 24 h to keep the methanol concentration constant at 0.5%. After 72 h, centrifuge at 10000 rpm for 5 min and collect the supernatant. Perform SDS-PAGE electrophoresis on the supernatant, and the electrophoresis pattern is as Figure 2 shown, and the specific results are shown in Table 8.
[0062] The results showed that when knocking out one or more genes of MKC7 and ULP1, and / or overexpressing one or more genes of PDI-2 and SHR3, the expression level of recombinant bovine albumin increased significantly. Among them, when knocking out the genes of MKC7 and ULP1 and overexpressing the genes of PDI-2 and SHR3 simultaneously, the expression level of recombinant bovine albumin reached a maximum of 38.79 g / L, which was increased by 4.85 times.
[0063] Table 8 also showed that when overexpressing the genes of PDI-2 and SHR3 simultaneously, the expression level of recombinant bovine albumin increased significantly. It was speculated that there might be a synergistic effect between the PDI-2 gene that promotes disulfide bond formation and the SHR3 gene that promotes protein folding.
[0064] It was also found that after knocking out the protease degradation genes MKC7 and ULP1, the other proteins with different molecular weights, especially the impurity proteins with molecular weights lower than the target protein, decreased significantly. Figure 2 Table 8
