Abstract

Background: L2 is formed by combining the pheromone of Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) and a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) with cell-penetrating selectivity. L2 has more significant penetration and better specificity for killing S. agalactiae. However, the production of AMPs by chemical synthesis is always a challenge because of the production cost.

Methods: This study was devoted to the heterologous expression of the cell-penetrating peptide L2 in Pichia pastoris using SUMO and a short acidic fusion tag as fusion partners, and the high-density expression of SUMO-L2 was achieved in a 5 L fermenter.

Results: The results showed that SUMO-L2 expression in the 5 L fermenter reached 629 mg/L. The antibacterial activity of recombinant L2 was examined; the minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBCs) of purified L2 were 4-8 μg/mL and 8-16 μg/mL against S. agalactiae after 84 h of lysis with 50% formic acid.

Conclusions: The findings suggest that SUMO is a suitable fusion tag to express cell-penetrating peptide L2.

融合伙伴促进细胞穿透肽L2在毕赤酵母中的表达。

背景：L2是由无乳链球菌（S. agalactiae）的信息素与具有细胞穿透选择性的细胞穿透肽（CPP）结合形成的。L2对无乳链球菌具有更显著的穿透性和更好的特异性。然而，由于生产成本的原因，化学合成AMPs一直是一个挑战。方法：本研究以SUMO和短酸性融合标签作为融合伙伴，在毕赤酵母中进行细胞穿透肽L2的异源表达，并在5l发酵罐中实现SUMO-L2的高密度表达。结果：5 L发酵罐中SUMO-L2表达量达到629 mg/L。检测重组蛋白L2的抑菌活性；50%甲酸裂解84 h后，纯化的L2对无乳链球菌的最低抑菌浓度（mic）为4 ~ 8 μg/mL，最低杀菌浓度（MBCs）为8 ~ 16 μg/mL。结论：SUMO是表达细胞穿透肽L2的合适融合标签。
