The invention discloses recombinant I-type collagen with a low-temperature self-
assembly characteristic as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of
genetic engineering. The recombinant I-type collagen with the low-temperature self-
assembly characteristic is characterized in that an
amino acid sequence of the recombinant I-type collagen is obtained by taking a human I-type collagen fragment as a basic unit and repeatedly connecting in series for n times, an
amino acid sequence of the human I-type collagen fragment is shown as Seq ID NO.1, and n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. According to the invention, nucleotides of repetitive fragments of functional areas of the human-derived I-type collagen are optimized and screened, and co-expressed with
hydroxyproline enzyme genes in a
pichia pastoris
system, so that the recombinant I-type collagen with low-temperature self-
assembly characteristics is successfully obtained.
