Overexpression of penicillin V acylase from Streptomyces lavendulae and elucidation of its catalytic residues.

ABSTRACT: The pva gene from Streptomyces lavendulae ATCC 13664, encoding a novel penicillin V acylase (SlPVA), has been isolated and characterized. The gene encodes an inactive precursor protein containing a secretion signal peptide that is activated by two internal autoproteolytic cleavages that release a 25-amino-acid linker peptide and two large domains of 18.79 kDa (alpha-subunit) and 60.09 kDA (beta-subunit). Based on sequence alignments and the three-dimensional model of SlPVA, the enzyme contains a hydrophobicpocket involved in catalytic activity, including Serbeta1, Hisbeta23, Valbeta70, and Asnbeta272, which were confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis studies. The heterologous expression of pva in S. lividans led to the production of an extracellularly homogeneous heterodimeric enzyme at a 5-fold higher concentration (959 IU/liter) than in the original host and in a considerably shorter time. According to the catalytic properties of SlPVA, the enzyme must be classified as a new member of the Ntn-hydrolase superfamily, which belongs to a novel subfamily of acylases that recognize substrates with long hydrophobic acyl chains and have biotechnological applications in semisynthetic antifungal production.

Project description:To take full advantage of recombinant Pichia pastoris (Komagataella phaffii) as a production system for heterologous proteins, the complex protein secretory process should be understood and optimised by circumventing bottlenecks. Typically, little or no attention has been paid to the fate of newly synthesised protein inside the cell, or its passage through the secretory pathway, and only the secreted product is measured. However, the system's productivity (i.e. specific production rate qp), includes productivity of secreted (qp,extra) plus intracellularly accumulated (qp,intra) protein. In bioreactor cultivations with P. pastoris producing penicillin G acylase, we studied the dynamics of product formation, i.e. both the specific product secretion (qp,extra) and product retention (qp,intra) as functions of time, as well as the kinetics, i.e. productivity in relation to specific growth rate (?). Within the time course, we distinguished (I) an initial phase with constant productivities, where the majority of product accumulated inside the cells, and qp,extra, which depended on ? in a bell-shaped manner; (II) a transition phase, in which intracellular product accumulation reached a maximum and productivities (intracellular, extracellular, overall) were changing; (III) a new phase with constant productivities, where secretion prevailed over intracellular accumulation, qp,extra was linearly related to ? and was up to three times higher than in initial phase (I), while qp,intra decreased 4-6-fold. We show that stress caused by heterologous protein production induces cellular imbalance leading to a secretory bottleneck that ultimately reaches equilibrium. This understanding may help to develop cultivation strategies for improving protein secretion from P. pastoris.Key Points• A novel concept for industrial bioprocess development.• A Relationship between biomass growth and product formation in P. pastoris.• A Three (3) phases of protein production/secretion controlled by the AOX1-promoter.• A Proof of concept in production of industrially relevant penicillin G acylase.
