Crystal Structure of Alcohol Oxidase from Pichia pastoris
نویسندگان
چکیده
FAD-dependent alcohol oxidases (AOX) are key enzymes of methylotrophic organisms that can utilize lower primary alcohols as sole source of carbon and energy. Here we report the crystal structure analysis of the methanol oxidase AOX1 from Pichia pastoris. The crystallographic phase problem was solved by means of Molecular Replacement in combination with initial structure rebuilding using Rosetta model completion and relaxation against an averaged electron density map. The subunit arrangement of the homo-octameric AOX1 differs from that of octameric vanillyl alcohol oxidase and other dimeric or tetrameric alcohol oxidases, due to the insertion of two large protruding loop regions and an additional C-terminal extension in AOX1. In comparison to other alcohol oxidases, the active site cavity of AOX1 is significantly reduced in size, which could explain the observed preference for methanol as substrate. All AOX1 subunits of the structure reported here harbor a modified flavin adenine dinucleotide, which contains an arabityl chain instead of a ribityl chain attached to the isoalloxazine ring.

Production of Recombinant Human Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor by Pichia pastoris
Human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (hG-CSF) cDNA was expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris under the control of the alcohol oxidase (AOX1) promoter. An expression vector for hG-CSF secretion was constructed using vector pPIC9. Higher levels of hG-CSF was obtained using a P. pastoris Mut+ (methanol utilization fast) phenotype. The effects of environmental factors such as...
متن کاملEvaluation of Sorbitol-Methanol Co-Feeding Strategy on Production of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone in Pichia Pastoris
Recombinant protein production in Pichia pastoris is based on alcohol oxidase promoterswhich are regulated by methanol. However, the use of methanol has several disadvantages,which is why current trends in bioprocess development with Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) arefocusing on methanol mixed feeding strategies. This work aimed to develop a new experimentalmethod and compare the effect of vario...
