Rennet, a complex of enzymes found in the stomachs of ruminants, is an important component for cheese production. In our study, we described that yak chymosin gene recombinant Pichia pastoris strain could serve as a novel source for rennet production. Yaks total RNA was extracted from the abomasum of an unweaned yak. The yak preprochymosin, prochymosin, and chymosin genes from total RNA were is...
Chymosin (also known as rennin) plays an essential role in the coagulation of milk in the cheese industry. Chymosin is traditionally extracted from the rumen of calves and is of high cost. Here, we present an alternative method to producing bovine chymosin from transgenic tobacco plants. The CYM gene, which encodes a preprochymosin from bovine, was introduced into the tobacco nuclear genome und...
Bovine and camel chymosin are aspartic peptidases that are used industrially in cheese production. They cleave the Phe105-Met106 bond of the milk protein κ-casein, releasing its predominantly negatively charged C-terminus, which leads to the separation of the milk into curds and whey. Despite having 85% sequence identity, camel chymosin shows a 70% higher milk-clotting activity than bovine chym...
components, chymosins I and 11, by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose (Fig. 1). The same characteristic profile was obtained from four different animals. Pooled fractions of chymosins I and I1 were examined by urea/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, and each consisted of one major protein species, with chymosin I1 showing a slightly higher electrophoretic mobility than chymosin I. Chymosi...
To express bovine chymosin in yeast, we amplified the prochymosin gene from the plasmid pMD18T-Prochy by PCR, and then cloned the gene into the expression vector pPICZaA, resulting in pPICZaA-Prochy. Pichia pastoris GS115 was used as host cells. Integration of the prochymosin cDNA into the Pichia pastoris genome was confirmed by PCR and sequencing analysis. Chymosin was expressed in Pichia past...
Chymosin B point mutants, A115T and G243D (chymosin A), were expressed in Escherichia coli and Trichoderma reesei respectively, characterized biochemically, crystallized and studied by X-ray analysis at 2.3 and 2.8 angstroms resolutions respectively. The three-dimensional structures showed that the mutations gave rise to local conformational changes only when compared with that of chymosin B. K...
Bovine chymosin is an important milk-clotting agent used in the manufacturing of cheeses. Currently, the production of recombinant proteins by genetically modified organisms is widespread, leading to greatly reduced costs. Lactococcus (L.) lactis, the model lactic acid bacterium, was considered a good candidate for heterologous chymosin production for the following reasons: (1) it is considered...
Prochymosin can be converted into chymosin by an action of external proteinases. Thus, thermolysin at pH 5.05 converts calf prochymosin into active Phe-chymosin, which is one amino acid longer than chymosin from the N-terminus with a yield of 73%. Even better results were achieved with prochymosin activation by Legionella pneumophila metalloproteinase. Apparently the stretch of prochymosin poly...
Calf chymosin was shown to catalyse peptide synthesis optimally over the range pH 4-5, giving satisfactory yields of methyl esters or p-nitroanilides of benzyloxycarbonyl tetra- to hexa-peptides, provided that hydrophobic amino-acid residues form the new peptide bonds. The effectiveness of the enzyme depends also on the nature of adjacent amino-acid residues. As an aspartate-proteinase with a c...
The stomach of newborn pig contains a proteinase that is immunologically closely related to calf chymosin (rennin) (EC 3.4.23.4.). None of the pepsins from the stomach of adult pig is present in the newborn pig. Pig chymosin has optimal general proteolytic activity around pH 3.5. The ratio of milk-clotting activity to general proteolytic activity is about 30--70 times higher than that of pylori...
