phytic acid is the dominant form of phosphorous in plant seeds. however, phytic acid cannot beutilized by animals and causes them serious phosphate deficiency. utilization of phytase as ananimal feed additive can affect liberation of phosphor and its mineral availability. in this study,heterologous expression of the a. niger phya gene was investigated in the methylotrophic yeastsp. pastoris and...

−We established a gene expression process to produce a flavor peptide in Pichia pastoris. The octapeptide Lys-Gly-Asp-Glu-Glu-Ser-Leu-Ala was isolated from beef digested by papain, known as “beefy meaty peptide” (BMP). It was considered a savory seasoning in previous literatures. To produce BMP by microorganisms, BMP expression structures encoding tandem repeats of the octapeptide were designed...

Background: Human tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) is a key protease of the trypsin family. It catalyzes the activation of zymogen plasminogen to the fibrin-degrading proteinase, plasmin, leading to digestion of fibrin clots. The recombinant enzyme produced by recombinant technology issued to dissolve blood clots in treatment of various human diseases such as coronary artery thrombosis,...

Recombinant protein production in Pichia pastoris is based on alcohol oxidase promoterswhich are regulated by methanol. However, the use of methanol has several disadvantages,which is why current trends in bioprocess development with Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) arefocusing on methanol mixed feeding strategies. This work aimed to develop a new experimentalmethod and compare the effect of vario...

In this study, bovine lactoferrin (bLf), an iron-binding glycoprotein considered an important nutraceutical protein because of its several properties, was expressed in Pichia pastoris KM71-H under AOX1 promoter control, using pJ902 as the recombinant plasmid. Dot blotting analysis revealed the expression of recombinant bovine lactoferrin (rbLf) in Pichia pastoris. After Bach fermentation and pu...

Transketolase is a proven biocatalytic tool for asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formation, both as a purified enzyme and within bacterial whole-cell biocatalysts. The performance of Pichia pastoris as a host for transketolase whole-cell biocatalysis was investigated using a transketolase-overexpressing strain to catalyze formation of l-erythrulose from β-hydroxypyruvic acid and glycolaldehyde sub...

Myostatin propeptide can inhibit the biological activity of myostatin protein and promote muscle growth. To express myostatin propeptide in vitro with a higher biological activity, we performed codon optimization on the sheep myostatin propeptide gene sequence, and mutated aspartic acid-76 to alanine based on the codon usage bias of Pichia pastoris and the enhanced biological activity of myosta...

infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) is the causative agent of gumboro disease, an infectious disease of global economic importance in poultry. the expression of heterologous proteins in p.pastoris is fast, simple and inexpensive. in this study, vp2 encoding gene of classical d78 ibdv was amplified using reverse transcription (rt) polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and cloned into ppiczαa vector...

BACKGROUND Recombinant antibodies are highly successful in many different pathological conditions and currently enjoy overwhelming recognition of their potential. There are a wide variety of protein expression systems available, but almost all therapeutic antibodies are produced in mammalian cell lines, which mimic human glycosylation. The production of clinical-grade antibodies in mammalian ce...

objective(s):human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) remains a major morbidity and mortality cause in immuno suppressed patients. therefore, significant effort has been made towards the development of a vaccine. in this study, the expression of the pp65 and gb fusion peptides and fc domain of mouse igg2a as a novel delivery system for selective uptake of antigens by antigen-presenting cells (apcs) in pich...
