Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a coding gene of canine serum albumin, an expression vector, a recombinant engineering bacterium, a preparation method and application of the recombinant engineering bacterium of canine serum albumin. BACKGROUND

[0002] Canine serum albumin (CSA) is the most abundant protein in canine plasma, accounting for 40-60% of the total plasma protein. CSA has multiple physiological functions, the main function is to maintain the stability of plasma colloid osmotic pressure, accounting for 75-80% of plasma colloid osmotic pressure, other physiological functions also include transporting various metabolites and drugs, maintaining acid-base balance, supporting the immune system, and helping to maintain blood volume, and has important application value in veterinary clinics. CSA is a single polypeptide chain composed of 584 amino acids, the whole molecule is arranged by three similar domains to form a unique heart-shaped structure. CSA has 35 Cys residues, forming 17 pairs of disulfide bonds, among which Cys-34 is the only free thiol that does not participate in the formation of disulfide bonds, and is also the main source of intravascular reductive thiol.

[0003] Canine serum albumin deficiency is also called hypoproteinemia, the causes of which include decreased ability of liver to synthesize albumin, secondary diseases, insufficient protein intake, absorption disorders or excessive protein consumption (such as massive blood loss, severe burns, heat disease, etc.). The main manifestations are decreased plasma protein and decreased colloid osmotic pressure, water leakage in blood vessels, and severe cases may appear systemic edema and decreased resistance, and secondary infection is easy to occur. With the rapid development of the pet market in China, the medical needs of pet dogs continue to grow, and recombinant canine serum albumin has potential application value in the aspects of clinical treatment of canine hypoproteinemia, canine hypovolemia, and veterinary drug production adjuvant.

[0004] Clinical canine serum albumin is generally a protein biological product extracted from healthy canine plasma, and is usually used for treating hypoproteinemia, malnutrition, edema caused by hypoproteinemia and acute blood loss, etc. The preparation methods mainly include salting-out method, organic solvent precipitation method and heat shock method, and have defects of low albumin yield and low purity. In addition, the supply gap of canine plasma itself, the extremely complex serum source and the risk of blood virus transmission through drugs all seriously limit the industrialized production. The use of genetic engineering technology to prepare recombinant canine serum albumin (rCSA) can overcome these difficulties. In particular, Pichia pastoris as a host fungus has the advantages of simple culture method, low endotoxin content, high expression level, post-translational modification system, easy large-scale culture and the like, and can directly secrete the target product into the culture medium, which is an ideal host system for heterologous expression of canine serum albumin.

[0005] The recombinant canine serum albumin expressed by Pichia pastoris in the prior art has the same physicochemical characteristics as natural canine serum albumin. In addition, the 97% purity canine serum albumin prepared by recombinant Pichia pastoris in the prior art has the same treatment effect as recombinant human blood albumin in treating rat cirrhosis ascites. In the expression of recombinant canine serum albumin by Pichia pastoris, the signal peptide is an important factor affecting the expression of foreign proteins in Pichia pastoris. The commonly used signal peptide in the prior art is the alpha mating factor signal peptide (alpha-factor) derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which promotes the post-translational translocation of proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum, but also has certain limitations. If the alpha mating factor signal peptide is fused with the protein folded in the cytoplasm of the yeast cell, the protein may not be able to pass through the endoplasmic reticulum membrane to enter the secretion pathway, thereby affecting the secretion and expression of canine serum albumin.

The synthesized coding gene of canine serum albumin is directionally connected to the vector pPICZαB through the enzyme cutting site BstB I+Not I to construct the recombinant plasmid pPICZB-pre-Ost1-pro-α-factor-rCBS. The recombinant plasmid is linearized by endonuclease Sac I, and then is electroporated into Pichia pastoris X-33 competent cells, and the recombinant engineering bacteria of canine serum albumin are obtained after screening on a YPDS medium containing 100 μg / mL Zeocin.

[0041] Specifically, in the preparation method of the recombinant engineering bacteria of canine serum albumin, firstly, the chimeric of Ost1 signal peptide pre-peptide and α-factor signal peptide pro-peptide utilizes the high co-translational translocation ability of Ost1 to efficiently guide the protein into the endoplasmic reticulum, and retains the transport guiding function of α-factor, and utilizes the transport function to secrete the protein to the extracellular, secondly, the codon optimization process adjusts the nucleotide sequence for Pichia pastoris, thirdly, the co-translational translocation avoids the incorrect folding and degradation of the protein in the cytoplasm, and the precise cutting of the Kex2 cutting site ensures that the mature peptide sequence is 100% consistent with the natural protein, the selection of the suitable expression vector and the transformation of the Pichia pastoris host bacteria realizes the efficient integration of the gene, and further promotes the controllable expression and stable secretion of the recombinant canine serum albumin in the host bacteria.

[0055] Example 3 This example is used to illustrate the induction expression of the canine serum albumin recombinant engineering bacteria disclosed by the application, and includes the following operation steps. The recombinant engineering bacteria of canine serum albumin preserved in glycerol were inoculated into 50 ml YPD medium at an inoculation amount of 1%, and cultured at 30°C and 200 rpm until OD=2-6. The bacteria were collected by centrifugation at 1500 g for 5 min, and then suspended in 200 ml BSM inorganic medium, and cultured at 30°C and 200 rpm. The final concentration of methanol (500 ml of methanol and 6 ml of PMT1) was added every 24 h for induction of expression. The fermentation supernatant was detected by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis to obtain the high-expression engineering bacteria; Influence of different signal peptides on expression of target proteins: One high-expression recombinant engineering bacteria pPICZB-pre-Ost1-pro-α-factor-rCBS / X-33 of canine serum albumin and one control high-expression engineering bacteria pPICZαA-rCBS / X-33 were selected for induction expression under the same conditions. Three parallel experiments were set up. The results of SDS-PAGE electrophoresis detection were analyzed by using ImageJ software, and the results are shown in Table 1. Figure 3 As shown in Table 1 and Figure 3 compared with the signal peptide α-factor, the chimeric signal peptide increased the target band of canine serum albumin by 2.63 times and reduced the degradation degree by 29.5%, which further proved that the recombinant engineering bacteria of canine serum albumin provided by the application can be efficiently secreted and expressed in the host.

[0056] Example 4 This example is used to illustrate the high-density fermentation of the recombinant engineering bacteria of canine serum albumin disclosed in the application, which comprises the following operation steps: Seed culture stage: The recombinant engineering bacteria were inoculated into YPD medium, and cultured at 30°C and 220 rpm for 20 h to obtain seed liquid. The wet weight of the bacteria was measured and microscopic examination was performed. Bacterial growth stage: The seed liquid was inoculated into a fermentation tank containing 20 L of BSM inorganic salt medium. The temperature was set to 30°C, the rotation speed was 500-700 rpm, the aeration was 20 L / min, and the dissolved oxygen was higher than 20%. The pH was maintained at 5.0 mainly by adjusting ammonia water. Glycerol feeding stage: When the dissolved oxygen suddenly rose, 50% glycerol containing 12 ml / L PTM1 was added at a rate of 18 ml / h / L. The parameters were maintained unchanged until the wet weight of the bacteria reached 240 g / L. Methanol induction stage: ​When the dissolved oxygen of the fermentation again rapidly rises, the temperature is adjusted to 25℃, the pH is adjusted to 6.0, and within 1 hour after entering the induction stage, no carbon source is added in the tank to ensure complete consumption of glycerol. Methanol containing 12 ml / L PTM1 is added for induction, and the dissolved oxygen is controlled to be higher than 30%. After 72 h of induction, the fermentation is ended. The protein content in the fermentation broth is 10.12 g / L, which is determined by the Coomassie brilliant blue staining method.
