Abstract:
In order to make a large-scale preparation of(GLP-1A2G)2-HAS (GGH), the double-plamid pPICZalphaB and pPIC9K co-expression system was introduced into Pichia pastoris GS115. Firstly, the GGH fusion gene was amplified by PCR to create the recombinant expression plasmid pPICZalphaB-ggh, which was transformed into P. pastoris GS 115/F2 that was integrated by another recombinant expression plasmid pPIC9K-ggh. The immunology method combined with high concentration antibiotic was used to screen recombinant strain P. pastoris GS115/F3 capable of high-level expression of GGH protein. The GGH fusion protein expressed by GS115/F3 increased 49.7% compared with the GS 115/F2 in the expression conditions of 3% methanol inducing 80 h at 30 degrees C. At the same time, the quantitative PCR results showed that GGH gene dose in GS115/F3 increased 26.7% with respect to that of GS 115/F2. Furthermore, the Western blotting experiment indicated that the recombinant GGH possess the two antigenicities of GLP-1 and HSA.
