Background technology
(carboxy peptidase B is called for short CPB to protaminase, EC3.4.17.2) is a kind of zinciferous pancreas exopeptidase, the basic aminoacids of its energy specificity hydrolysis peptide chain C-terminal, for example arginine, Methionin or ornithine.Protaminase contains 307 amino-acid residues, and molecular weight is 35KDa.
CPB is widely used in protein and peptide class C-terminal amino acid sequencing at present, or is used for the modification of the C-terminal alkaline amino acid residue of protein or polypeptide.Medically also be used to diagnose pancreatitis.In the genetically engineered field, CPB has also obtained application more and more widely, and special CPB is one of indispensable two enzymes in recombinant human insulin's production process, and the height of its specific activity and stability are important parameters that influences proinsulin activation yield.
The method of the active CPB of preparation mainly contains two classes at present: a class is to extract from the pancreas of animal and activate to obtain CPB, but this method can not be removed other proteolytic enzyme at present fully, and may make among the prepared CPB and contain infected material, have the biologically active components of infringement HUMAN HEALTH potential as virus, Protein virus or other, therefore use limited; Another kind of is that the method by gene recombination prepares CPB in intestinal bacteria, this method obtains the not active CPB proenzyme of tool through expression earlier, make CPB proenzyme inclusion body through complicated sex change, renaturation process then, remove the preceding peptide moiety of proenzyme again through enzyme earnestly, just can obtain activated enzyme, and in described sex change, renaturation process, renaturation yield can not reach 100%, therefore this method wastes time and energy, and productive rate is not high, and the output of general every liter of fermented liquid is not higher than 10mg.
In Chinese patent 200410098027.5, disclose a kind of in the yeast eukaryotic expression system recombinant expressed CPB proenzyme, then through purifying, enzyme are cut, concentrated, step such as repurity prepares CPB method.Because the preceding peptide moiety of CPB proenzyme is at the N of CPB end, this method is added histidine-tagged (His tag) by the N-terminal at the CPB proenzyme, form " histidine-tagged-propetide-CPB ", carrying out enzyme then in the affinity chromatography process cuts, thereby realize that CPB separates with propetide, avoided propetide to be incorporated on the CPB in non-covalent mode.But this method processing step is very complicated: be that this method will be carried out purifying earlier after recombinant expressed on the one hand, carry out enzyme again and cut, also will carry out secondarily purified after enzyme is cut; Be to use this method to carry out enzyme when cutting on the other hand, CPB flows out with penetrating liquid (Flow Through), and the liquid volume of collecting is very big, just can carry out follow-up secondarily purified after needing to concentrate.
Therefore, need a kind of new method for preparing active CPB now badly, can either recombinant expressed high-levelly CPB, can carry out subsequent treatment process (purifying, concentrated, ultrafiltration etc.) again very simply and easily.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to solve existing the problems referred to above, a kind of method for preparing protaminase (CPB) is provided, this method expression amount is very high, and expression product CPB proenzyme need not through sex change and renaturation, after direct enzyme cutting is removed propetide, can obtain activated CPB, and follow-up purification step is also simple and convenient.
Therefore, in order to realize purpose of the present invention, the invention provides the preparation method of a kind of protaminase (CPB), this method comprises:
1. one section nucleotide sequence is provided, described nucleotide sequence is made up of the gene order of coding CPB proenzyme and the codon of encoding histidine label (His tag), and the codon of described encoding histidine label is at 3 ' end of the gene order of described coding CPB proenzyme;
2. above-mentioned nucleotide sequence is cloned in the Yeast expression carrier;
3. above-mentioned carrier is converted into yeast host;
4. induce above-mentioned yeast host to express the C end and have histidine-tagged CPB proenzyme;
5. enzyme is cut above-mentioned CPB proenzyme, generates the C end and has histidine-tagged CPB;
6. the above-mentioned CPB of purifying.
Preferably, the gene order of the described coding CPB proenzyme in the step 1 can be determined according to used yeast host's codon preference, to increase host's expression efficiency.This method is a technology known in those skilled in the art, and the method for concrete definite gene order can be referring to for example " University of the Inner Mongol's journal ", " big occasion yeast codon uses contrast ", 2006, Vol37, No1:34-39.
At the terminal codon that adds the encoding histidine label of gene order, also be the technology that is used for protein purification known in those skilled in the art, preferably, described histidine-tagged be a kind of aminoacid sequence that contains 6 successive Histidines.
Described Yeast expression carrier in the step 2 can for any one can with the carrier of yeast chromosomal generation homologous recombination, preferably, described Yeast expression carrier is the carrier that is adopted in the invitrogen company " pichia spp operational manual ", for example pPIC9K, pPIC3.5K, pAO815, pPICZaA, pPICZaB, pPICZaC etc.
Described yeast host in the step 3 can directly be expressed the correct target protein of conformation as a kind of eukaryotic expression system, need not follow-up sex change and renaturation process (referring to for example " biotechnology circular ", " methanol yeast system ", 2000,1:38-41).Therefore without any restriction, preferred yeast strain can be debaryomyces hansenii, pichia spp, candiyeast, torulopsis glabrata etc. to method of the present invention to the kind of yeast host, and preferred yeast strain is a pichia spp.
The method of inducing the yeast host expressing protein in the step 4 also is a technology known in the field, for example referring to " biotechnology circular ", " influencing the factor of exogenous protein expression in the methanol yeast ", 2000,4:34-38.Preferably, in the abduction delivering process, use methyl alcohol as sole carbon source and inductor, and make the final concentration of methyl alcohol reach 0.7%, can in the expression amount that increases bacterial strain, bacterial strain not produced any toxic action.In addition, the interpolation final concentration is 0.5% casein hydrolysate in substratum, also helps proteic expression.
Purifying in the step 6 has histidine-tagged proteinic technology and method is known in those skilled in the art, and concrete grammar can be referring to " Qiagen:Protein expression and purification Protocol ".Purification process of the present invention preferably adopts Ni
2+-NTA (Ni
2+-nitrilotriacetic acid(NTA)) matrix is carried out, and is that the imidazoles solution of 20mM to 250mM comes the wash-out target protein by gradient.
Described enzyme in the step 5 cut with step 6 in described purge process can carry out in proper order, also can be simultaneously at Ni
2+Carry out in-NTA the matrix.
The method that the present invention prepares protaminase (CPB) has the following advantages:
1. carry out recombinant expressedly in the yeast eukaryotic expression system, expression product CPB proenzyme need not can obtain activated CPB through sex change and renaturation after direct enzyme cutting is removed propetide.
2. increase the codon of histidine-tagged (His tag) at 3 ' end of CPB prochymosin gene sequence, express generation C end and have histidine-tagged CPB proenzyme, make follow-up enzyme cut with the affinity purification process in, purified product (CPB) is retained in the elutriant, the purified product volume is little, does not need follow-up enrichment step.
3. only need a purification step can obtain pure product.
4. as according to yeast preference codon provide coding CPB the gene order of proenzyme, can also further improve expression amount.
5. as in the abduction delivering process, making the final concentration of methyl alcohol reach 0.7%, also can further increase the expression amount of bacterial strain.
