We produced bovine trypsinogen in the yeast Pichia pastoris. Little or no trypsinogen was detected when the gene with its native leader sequence was expressed under the control of the strong aox1 promoter, suggesting that expression of the wild-type bovine trypsinogen was toxic to the cells. We altered the trypsinogen native propeptide sequence by replacing the lysine at position 6 with an aspartic acid, thus destroying the site in the propeptide cleaved by enterokinase and by trypsin. This muta ...[more]
