Abstract: In order to improve the efficiency of insulin secretion expression in yeast,firstly the pro-insulin gene was synthesized,and a recombinant secreted expression vector(pPICZα-A-Pro-INS)was constructed by inserting a leader peptide to N-end of the gene’s sequence. Linearized expression vector was transformed into the competent cells of Pichia pastoris GSll5. A strain with highly secreted expression of the insulin was screened,by which the secreted recombinant protein expression level was 300 mg/L,accounting for about 40% of the total secreted protein. This result revealed that the leader peptide is crucial to the gene of highly expressing insulin in P. pastoris.

Key words: insulin, Pichia pastoris, highly expression, leader peptide
