分泌表達的目標蛋白比胞內蛋白確實容易被降解。可以嘗試以下幾種辦法:1、盡可能降低培養液的pH值減少酶活,酵母生長pH值比較廣,4~7都可以試一下;2、多試幾種蛋白添加劑,充當酶解底物(比如酵母酸);3、摸索最適下罐(搖瓶也一樣),寧可少表達點也別給降解光了。實在沒辦法,只好換菌株或做pcr突變酶切位點(當然不能影響表達和蛋白活性)。 Several strategies have been reported as effective in minimizing the
proteolytic instability of specific foreign proteins secreted into the
P.pastoris culture medium.
1)、The first is adding to the culture medium of amino-acid rich
supplement such as peptone or casamino acid, which reduce product
degradation possibly by acting as execess substrates for one or more
problem proteases. 2)、 The second strategy to minimize proteolytic degradation is to optimize the culture pH between pH 3.0 and pH7.0. 3)、The third strategy involves elevating the level ofammonium in the
culture broth adequately, which is explained by the hypothesis that
portease activity is induced under nitrogen starvation.
The forth strategy is let the culture temperature 28 deg instead of 30 deg.
