Objective To express BoNT-LH(N)-Elafin fusion protein in Pichia pastoris and determine its bioactivity.Methods Recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pPIC9K-BoNT-LH(N)-Elafin was constructed and transformed to P.pastoris GS115 strain for expression under induction of methanol.The culture supernatant was collected,from which the fusion protein was purified by cation exchange chromatography and determined for reactogenicity,anti-elastase activity and cleaving effect on SNARE protein complex.Results Both restriction analysis and sequencing proved that recombinant plasmid pPIC9K-BoNT-LH(N)-Elafin was constructed correctly.The expressed BoNT-LH(N)-Elafin fusion protein,with a relative molecular mass of about 110 000,reached a purity of 92% and a concentration of 54 mg/L after purification,which showed good reactogenicity,anti-elastase activity as well as cleaving effect on SNARE protein complex.Conclusion Recombinant fusion protein BoNT-LH(N)-Elafin was successfully expressed in P.pastoris GS115 strain and showed high bioactivity,which laid a foundation of further study on the mechanism of its inhibitory effect on airway mucus hypersecretion.
