چکیده

The cDNA encoding sucrose-fructan 6-fructosyltransferase (6-SFT) from barley (Hordeum vulgare) has been expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris, using a translational fusion into vector pPICZ alphaC, containing the N-terminal signal sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-factor to allow entry into the secretory pathway. Transformed Pichia produced and secreted a functional 6-SFT which had characteristics similar to the barley enzyme, but had a pronounced additional 1-SST activity when incubated with sucrose.

The large subunit determines catalytic specificity of barley sucrose:fructan 6-fructosyltransferase and fescue sucrose:sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase.

Plant fructosyltransferases are highly homologous in primary sequence and typically consist of two subunits but catalyze widely different reactions. Using functional expression in the yeast Pichia pastoris, we show that the substrate specificity of festuca sucrose:sucrose 1--beta-D-fructosyltransferase (1-SST) and barley sucrose:fructan 6--beta-D-fructosyltransferase (6-SFT) is entirely determi...

P-65: Effective Parameters on the Bovine Follicle Stimulating Hormone Expression in The Pichia Pastoris System

Background: Bovine follicle-stimulating hormone (bFSH) is a heterodimer hormone that consists of a common -subunit which noncovalently associated with the hormone-specific -subunit. During the past 15 years, the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris has become an important host organism for recombinant protein production because it is able to use methanol as a sole carbon and energy source. Th...

Expression of the VP2 gene of classical D78 infectious bursal disease virus in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris as a secretory protein

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is the causative agent of Gumboro disease, an infectious disease of global economic importance in poultry. The expression of heterologous proteins in P.pastoris is fast, simple and inexpensive. In this study, VP2 encoding gene of classical D78 IBDV was amplified using reverse transcription (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned into pPICZαA vector...

Purification, cloning and functional characterization of a fructan 6-exohydrolase from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Fructans, beta2-1 and/or beta2-6 linked polymers of fructose, are produced by fructosyltransferases (FTs) from sucrose. They are important storage carbohydrates in many plants. Fructan reserves, widely distributed in plants, are believed to be mobilized via fructan exohydrolases (FEHs). The purification, cloning, and functional characterization of a 6-FEH from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are r...

Evaluation of pH/buffering conditions effect on the optimization of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin expression in the methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris

Expression of recombinant proteins and drugs in Pichia pastoris has been in development since the late 1980s and the number of recombinant proteins produced in P. pastoris has increased significantly in the past several years. Unlike bacteria, this strain is capable of producing complex proteins with post translational modifications such as correct folding, glycosylation, proteolytic maturation...
