Abstract:
Objective To express a recombinant protein TFPR1 ( the functional region of the snake venom proteins from Trimeresurus flavoviridis) in Pichia pastoris expression system. Methods The target gene was codon-optimized and synthesized according to the sequence of the conserved structural do-main of triflin and then cloned into the Pichia pastoris expression vector pPICZαA to construct the recombi-nant expression plasmid pPICZαA-TFPR1. The recombinant plasmid pPICZαA-TFPR1 was electroporated into the yeast strain X33. The transformed strains carrying expression plasmid were screened out with Zeocin and then induced by methanol to express the recombinant protein TFPR1. ELISA was performed for the screening of positive clones. SDS-PAGE and Western blot were used for further identification of the ex-pressed products. Results The recombinant plasmid pPICZαA-TFPR1 was successfully constructed. The recombinant protein TFPR1 was expressed in a secreted form at a molecular weight of 16×103. Conclusion The recombinant protein TFPR1 was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris expression system, which laid a foundation for further researches on its biological function and application as an adjuvant.
