This invention discloses an engineered
Trichoderma reesei strain that secretes and expresses
lysostaphin, its construction method, and its applications, belonging to the field of
genetic engineering technology. This invention obtains the
lysostaphin proenzyme and its encoding
gene by modifying
lysostaphin with a secretory
peptide. The encoding
gene,
promoter, and terminator are then ligated into a
shuttle plasmid to obtain a lysostaphin expression
plasmid. This
plasmid is transformed into
Trichoderma reesei, and the endogenous
protein encoding
gene cbh1, which has the highest
secretion expression level in
Trichoderma reesei, is replaced with the aforementioned encoding gene, thus constructing an engineered
Trichoderma reesei strain that secretes and expresses lysostaphin. This invention is the first successful construction of an engineered
Trichoderma reesei strain capable of secreting and expressing lysostaphin, which simplifies the production process of lysostaphin, significantly reduces its production cost, and lays the foundation for large-scale industrial production of lysostaphin.
