Enhanced secretion of a methyl parathion hydrolase in Pichia pastoris using a combinational strategy.

ABSTRACT: Although Pichia pastoris has been successfully used to produce various recombinant heterologous proteins, the efficiency varies. In this study, we used methyl parathion hydrolase (MPH) from Ochrobactrum sp. M231 as an example to study the effect of protein amino acid sequence on secretion from P. pastoris.The results indicated that the protein N-terminal sequence, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention signal (KKXX) at the protein C-terminus, and the acidic stability of the protein could affect its secretion from P. pastoris. Mutations designed based on these sequence features markedly improved secretion from P. pastoris. In addition, we found that the secretion properties of a protein can be cumulative when all of the above strategies are combined. The final mutant (CHBD-DQR) designed by combining all of the strategies greatly improved secretion and the secreted MPH activity of CHBD-DQR was enhanced up to 195-fold compared with wild-type MPH without loss of catalytic efficiency.These results demonstrate that the secretion of heterologous proteins from P. pastoris could be improved by combining changes in multiple protein sequence features.

Project description:Human lysozyme (hLYZ), known for its bacteriolytic activity, is widely applied in the food and pharmaceutical industries as an antimicrobial agent. However, its extensive application was limited by its low large-scale production efficiency. In this study, a combinational method of integrating codon optimization, multiple gene copies, and ER molecular chaperone co-expression was developed to improve the heterologous production of hLYZ in Pichia pastoris GS115. Our results showed that increasing the copy number of the optimized hLYZ gene in P. pastoris could enhance its secretory production level up to 1.57-fold. The recombinant opt-hLYZ-6C strain that contains six copies of opt-hLYZ gene exhibited the highest mRNA transcription levels, giving the highest production of 0.22 ± 0.02 mg/mL of hLYZ in the medium supernatant with a bacteriolytic activity of 14,680 ± 300 U/mL against Micrococcus lysodeikticus in the shaking flask experiment. Moreover, co-overexpression of ER retention molecular chaperones, such as Pdi1 or Ero1, in the recombinant opt-hLYZ-6C strain both presented positive effects on the secretory production of hLYZ. Our further characterization indicated that tandem co-expression of Ero1 and Pdi1 together presented an added-up effect. The secretory production of hLYZ in the medium supernatant reached 0.34 ± 0.02 mg/mL of the recombinant opt-hLYZ-6C-EP strain in the shaking flask experiment, with a bacteriolytic activity of 21,200 ± 400 U/mL. Compared to the recombinant opt-hLYZ-1C strain, these final improvements were calculated as 2.43-fold and 2.30-fold on secretory protein levels and antibacterial activity, respectively. Finally, the recombinant opt-hLYZ-6C-EP strain was applied for high-density cultivation in 5 L of fermenter, in which the secretory yield of hLYZ reached 2.34 ± 0.02 mg/mL in the medium supernatant, with a bacteriolytic activity of 1.76 ± 0.02 × 105 U/mL against M. lysodeikticus. All these numbers presented the highest heterologous production levels of hLYZ in microbial systems.
