Definitions
- Secretion signal peptides their DNA sequences, expression vectors which can be produced therewith for eukaryotic cells and their use for the biotechnological production of proteins
- the invention relates to peptide secretion signal sequences and nucleic acid sequences coding for them, expression vectors for eukaryotic cells, the cell constructs transfected with these vectors and the use of the vectors and cell constructs for the biotechnological production of proteins.
- Acetylation which are only carried out in higher organisms.
- yeasts In addition to systems in mammalian (CHO, BHK, COS, etc.) or insect cells (SF9 cells), yeasts have the advantage as eukaryotic expression systems that they multiply just as quickly as bacteria and can be cultivated inexpensively in the laboratory without great safety measures.
- a large number of genetic methods for the investigation of molecular biological issues are now also available for yeasts.
- genes can easily be deleted from a genome, or foreign genes can be introduced into the cells by introducing extrachromosomal plasmids or by integration into the genome. By using different promoters, the expression of these genes is also possible in different strengths or even in a regulatable manner.
- yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, Yarrowia lipolytica, Hansenula polymorpha, Kluyveromyces lactis and for some time now also Schizosaccharomyces pombe have found their way into biotechnological laboratories and production facilities as expression strains (Lu, Y. Bauer, JC, Greener, A. (1997) Gene 200: 135-144).
- recombinant proteins are not secreted into the extracellular medium but are deposited in the cytoplasm. To isolate the desired protein, the cells must therefore be disrupted and separated from the cell debris thus obtained and the residual proteome of the yeast. However, this represents a large expenditure of time and money. It is therefore desirable to secrete recombinant proteins from a cell in order to simplify production and purification on an industrial scale.
- Proteins can only be secreted if they contain an N-terminal, hydrophobic secretion and processing sequence that ensures protein import into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the most important step of the secretion machinery.
- signal sequences of endogenous proteins such as that of an invertase, an acid phosphatase, or the pheromone factor P have been fused with the protein to be expressed.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing vectors for the efficient secretory expression of genes in eukaryotic cells and thus an efficient method for the biotechnological production of proteins. It could surprisingly be shown that fusion proteins which have an N-terminal amino acid sequence of the preprotoxin (pptox) of the killer virus K28 persistent in the cytoplasm of S. cerevisiae with the sequence
- the sequence Seq. Id. No. 1 or a functional variant thereof acts as a secretion signal sequence. It is also advantageous that the secretion signal sequences described have their secretory effect in different eukaryotic host cells, in particular in yeasts. It is particularly surprising that fusion proteins which result from a fusion of the signal sequence Seq. Id. No. 1 of the K28 preprotoxin and a heterologous protein are secreted with a higher yield than the mature toxin in the naturally infected yeast host S. cerevisiae.
- functional variants in connection with the fusion proteins according to the invention are understood to mean amino acid sequences with a sequence homology of at least 80%, which are suitable as a secretion signal.
- allelic variants are included in the term functional variant.
- the fusion proteins can be post-translationally modified, e.g. B. glycosylated, phosphorylated or acetylated.
- peptides can be used as the secretion signal sequence which have a fragment of at least 20 amino acids according to Seq. Id. No. 1 included.
- Another object of the present invention are those for a peptide secretion signal according to Seq. Id. No. 1 or one of its functional variants encoding DNA sequence (S / P). DNA sequences according to Seq are preferred. Id. No. 2 or a functional variant of this sequence.
