본 연구에서는 Candida antarctica로부터 genomic DNA을 추출하여 lipase A(CalA) 유전자를 PCR 증폭하였고, 재조합 pColdIII/CalA, $pPICZ{\alpha}A$/CalA, $pPICZ{\alpha}A$/CalA$his{\times}6$을 구축하였다. 재조합 CalA 유전자의 기능적 발현을 위해 최적화된 시스템을 구축하고자 Escherichia coli와 Pichia pastoris 시스템에서 각각 수행하여 비교, 분석하였다. SDS PAGE gel을 통해 CalA의 발현의 여부 및 발현양을 확인하였고, pNPP를 기질로 한 가수분해 반응을 통해 활성을 측정하였다. E. coli 발현 시스템은 형질전환 방법이 간단하고, 미생물의 성장 속도가 빠르다는 장점을 갖지만 CalA의 활성이 0.02 Unit/ml으로 비교적 낮았으며 세포질 (cytoplasm)에서 발현되므로 비목적 단백질과의 분리 및 정제과정이 필요하다. 재조합 $pPICZ{\alpha}A$/CalA을 P. pastoris 시스템에서 발현한 경우 높은 발현양 뿐만 아니라 분비작용으로 인해 고순도 발현이 용이하였고, 활성 또한 약 0.7 Unit/ml으로 가장 높았다. 결론적으로 CalA의 기능적 발현을 위해 P. pastoris 시스템을 구축하는 것이 가장 적합함을 확인하였다.

Terpenoids have a wide range of biological functions and have extensive applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and flavoring industry. The white-rot fungus, Polyporus brumalis, is able to synthesize terpenoids via terpene synthase, which catalyzes an important step that forms a large variety of sesquiterpene products from farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP). To improve the production of sesquiterpenes, the terpene synthase gene was isolated from Polyporus brumalis and was heterologously transformed into a Pichia pastoris strain. The open reading frame of the isolated gene (approximately 1.2 kb) was inserted into Pichia pastoris to obtain a recombinant enzyme. Five transformants were obtained and the expression of terpene synthase was analyzed at the transcript level by reverse transcription PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and at the protein level by SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). Expression of the terpene synthase gene product was elevated in the transformants and as expected the molecular weight of the protein was approximately 45 kDa. These recombinant enzymes have potential practical applications and future studies should focus on their functional characterization.

Aspergillus ficuum 유래 acetyl xylan esterase(AXEase) 유전자(AXE)를 Pichia pastoris에서 과발현ㆍ분비 생산하기 위해 AOXI promoter와 mating factor $\alpha$-1 분비신호서열 하류에 AXE를 연결한 염색체 삽입 발현계(pPICZ$\alpha$C-AXE, 4.6 kb)를 구축하였다. 이것을 SacI으로 절단한 뒤 P. pastoris의 염색체 DNA 5'AOX1 부위에 삽입시켰다. 형질전환된 P. pastoris 균주를 메탄을 배지에서 플라스크 회분배양한 결과, 배양 36시간 때의 건조균체농도는 6 g-DCW/1, AXEase 총 발현량은 77 unit/ml이었다. 최적화된 methanol과 histidine 공급방법을 채용한 유가배양시 균체농도는 97 g-DCW/1, AXEase 총발현량은 930 unit/m1로 크게 증가하였다. 효소활성의 90% 이상은 배양 상등액에 존재하였으며, 상등액 단백질의 80%이상이 AXEase 단백질(33.5 kDa)였다. 이러한 결과는 9.8 g/l의 AXEase 단백질을 배양 상등액으로 대량 분비ㆍ생산할 수 있음을 의미한다.

Methylotrophic 효모 Pichia pastoris 발현시스템을 사용하여 인간 TLR9 단백질의 세포내 TIR 도메인을 발현하였다. TIR 단백질이 P. pastoris에서 발현되어 배지 속으로 분비되는 것을 SDS-PAGE로 확인하였고, 발현된 단백질을 western-blot, MALDI-TOF 질량분석으로 동정하였다. 이를 통하여 TIR 딘백질이 P. pastoris에서 안정적으로 발현됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 발현된 단백질을 니켈 친화, 양이온교환수지, 겔 투과 크로마토그라피를 사용하여 순수 분리 정제하였다. P. pastoris를 이용한 단백질의 발현과 정제방법은 대장균에서 잘 발현되지 않는 단백질의 발현에 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

The use of enantioselective hydrolysis for preparing chiral epichlorohydrins was investigated using recombinant Pichia pastoris with the enantioselective epoxide hydrolase of Rhodotorula glutinis. The rate of the recombinant epoxide hydrolase-catalyzed enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic epichlorohydrins was enhanced by the addition of 5%(v/v) Tween 20. Enantiopure (R)-epichlorohydrins with an enantiopurity of 100% ee and a yield of 26% were obtained within 5min from 50mM racemates.

Ferritin is an iron storage protein found in most living organisms as a natural assembled macromolecule. For studying the functional ability of the ferritin assembly, human H- and L-ferritins were expressed and purified from Pichia pastoris strain GS115. The recombinant H- and L-ferritins showed a globular form with transmission electron microscopy. The rate of iron uptake for H-ferritin was significantly faster than that for the L-ferritin in vitro. By gel permeation chromatography analysis, recombinant ferritins were confirmed as multimeric subunits with high molecular weight and it was indicated that assembled subunits were able to store iron in vivo.

The cDNA of endo-1,$4-{\beta}-xylanaseA$, isolated from Phaenerocheate chrysosporium was expressed in Pichia pastoris. Using either the intrinsic leader peptide of XynA or the ${\alpha}$-factor signal peptide of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, xylanaseA is efficiently secreted into the medium at maximum concentrations of 1,946 U/L and 2,496 U/L, respectively.

The regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation is mediated by protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and is essential for cellular homeostasis. Co-expression of PTKs with PTPs in Pichia pastoris was used to facilitate the expression of active PTKs by neutralizing their apparent toxicity to cells. In this study, the gene encoding phosphatase PTP1B with or without a blue fluorescent protein or peroxisomal targeting signal 1 was cloned into the expression vector pAG32 to produce four vectors. These vectors were subsequently transformed into P. pastoris GS115. The tyrosine kinases EGFR-2 and $PDGFR{\beta}$ were expressed from vector pPIC3.5K and were fused with a His-tag and green fluorescent protein at the N-terminus. The two plasmids were transformed into P. pastoris with or without PTP1B, resulting in 10 strains. The EGFR-2 and $PDGFR{\beta}$ fusion proteins were purified by $Ni^{2+}$ affinity chromatography. In the recombinant P. pastoris, the PTKs co-expressed with PTP1B exhibited higher kinase catalytic activity than did those expressing the PTKs alone. The highest activities were achieved by targeting the PTKs and PTP1B into peroxisomes. Therefore, the EGFR-2 and $PDGFR{\beta}$ fusion proteins expressed in P. pastoris may be attractive drug screening targets for anticancer therapeutics.

Pichia pastoris is one of the most widely used expression systems for the secretory expression of recombinant proteins. The secretory expression in P. pastoris usually makes use of the prepro $MAT{\alpha}$ sequence from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which has a dibasic amino acid cleavage site at the end of the signal sequence. This is efficiently processed by Kex2 protease, resulting in the secretion of high levels of proteins to the medium. However, the proteins that are having the internal accessible dibasic amino acids such as KR and RR in the coding region cannot be expressed using this signal sequence, as the protein will be fragmented. We have identified a new signal sequence of 18 amino acids from a P. pastoris protein that can secrete proteins to the medium efficiently. The PMT1-gene-inactivated P. pastoris strain secretes a ~30 kDa protein into the extracellular medium. We have identified this protein by determining its N-terminal amino acid sequence. The protein secreted has four DDDK concatameric internal repeats. This protein was not secreted in the wild-type P. pastoris under normal culture conditions. We show that the 18-amino-acid signal peptide at the N-terminal of this protein is useful for secretion of heterologous proteins in Pichia.
