Abstract:
Integrative and replicative plasmids for the expression driven by the P(43) promoter and secretion of recombinant proteins in Bacillus subtilis were constructed. The plasmids named pInt and pRep respectively were tested for the production of recombinant human interferon gamma (rhIFN-γ). A synthetic hIFN-γ gene employing the optimized B. subtilis codon usage was fused with the Bacillus licheniformis α-amylase signal peptide (sp-amyL) encoding sequence. The integrative construct produced 2.5±0.2mgl(-1) and the replicative system produced 20.3±0.8mgl(-1) of total recombinant rhIFN-γ. The results showed that secretion of hIFN-γ was the bottleneck for the overexpression of mature rhIFN-γ by B. subtilis.
