Abstract:

Glucose oxidase gene(GOD)was cloned from Aspergillus niger and highly expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. The GOD gene was amplified by designing degenerate primers,and the gene was connected to the plasmid pPICZαA and expressed in P. pastoris. The optimized induction conditions for enzyme production were optimized according to the shaking flask level. The fermentation scale-up experiment was carried out in a 30 L bioreactor. The His4 was co-expressed and the methanol feed strategy of DO-STAT was used for high-density fermentation. The results showed that the GOD enzyme activity in the supernatant of the fermentation broth reached 32.25 U/mL after the recombinant P. pastoris GS115/pPICZ-GOD was induced by 0.5% methanol at the shake flask level for 96 h. The optimal fermentation conditions were obtained as follows:under the condition of 30℃,pH 6.0 and 250 r/min,the activity of GOD enzyme induced by 1.0% methanol for 96 h reached 50.1 U/mL,which was 55.3% higher than that of the initial fermentation. Through the scale-up experiment in a 30 L bioreactor,the GOD enzyme activity reached 307.52 U/mL,which increased by 5.1 times. Co-expression of the His4 increased the wet cell weight by 72.5% and the GOD enzyme activity reached 461 U/mL,which was an increase of 50.2% compared to the original recombinant yeast. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the molecular weight of GOD was about 90 kD. Recombinant GOD can be highly expressed in P. pastoris with high purity and few miscellaneous proteins,which is beneficial to purification.

Key words: Pichia pastoris, glucose oxidase, heterologous expression, optimization of enzyme production
