A synthetic gene coding for single-chain variable domain fragment antibody against mycotoxin zearalenone (scFv-ZEN) has been designed, constructed and expressed in Pichia pastoris. The native scFv-ZEN sequence was optimized to Pichia preference codon usage. The expression level of codon-optimized scFv-ZEN was slightly higher than that of native scFv-ZEN, and its maximum yield reached 328 mg total protein/l in flask culture. The binding activities of two selected clones to ZEN using surface plasmon resonance analysis were comparable or better than that of monoclonal antibody. Our results demonstrate the potential of soluble scFv-ZEN for developing a rapid and affordable immunoassay for detection of ZEN in food and feedstuff.
已设计、构建并在毕赤酵母中表达了一种编码抗玉米赤霉烯酮霉菌毒素单链可变区片段抗体(scFv-ZEN)的合成基因。将天然scFv-ZEN序列优化为毕赤酵母偏好的密码子使用方式。密码子优化后的scFv-ZEN的表达水平略高于天然scFv-ZEN,其在摇瓶培养中的最大产量达到328 mg总蛋白/升。使用表面等离子体共振分析,两个选定克隆与玉米赤霉烯酮的结合活性与单克隆抗体相当或更好。我们的结果证明了可溶性scFv-ZEN在开发用于检测食品和饲料中玉米赤霉烯酮的快速且经济实惠的免疫测定方法方面的潜力。
