Abstract:
In this study, peaT1 gene was subcloned into the Pichia pastoris expression vector pPIC9K, which contained both the methanol-inducible promoter and the transcription terminator of the AOX1 gene, resulting the plasmid pPIC9K-peaT1. The recombinant plasmid was linearized by Sal I or Bgl II and transformed into P. pastoris GS115 by electroporation method. Recombinant strain was screened by Minimal Dextrose Medium and further confirmed by PCR. The gene was in frame integrated into the Pichia genome through homologous recombination, resulting the recombinant strain. Regulated by the alpha-Factor, promoter of AOX1 gene and termination signal of yeast genomic, the recombinant protein was expressed and secreted into the supernatant. The SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that the apparent molecular weight of target protein was about 35 kD. Bioassay results showed that the inhibition rate of the expressed protein against TMV was 30.37%. The supernatant was collected and then purified by anion exchange chromatography. This protein can promote seedling growth of wheat obviously.
