The invention belongs to the technical field of
protein engineering and
genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a recombinant XVII type collagen as well as a preparation method and application thereof. Specifically, brand new recombinant collagen is designed by means of screening, replacement, splicing and the like,
pichia pastoris codon preference optimization is performed on a
nucleotide sequence of the recombinant collagen,
cell-penetrating
peptide is introduced to an
amino terminal of the sequence, a corresponding
genetic engineering yeast strain is constructed and obtained, and the recombinant collagen is successfully prepared by
fermentation. The homology of the
amino acid sequence of the
gene and the corresponding region of the natural human source XVII type collagen reaches 100%, and the
immunogenicity risk caused by sequence difference does not exist; meanwhile, the endotoxin content of the
protein can be controlled through a purification process, and no endotoxin residue is ensured. The recombinant collagen prepared by the technical scheme has more excellent transdermal performance and
cell proliferation activity, and also has better stability, so that the recombinant collagen has good practical application value.
